400 pieces of range pickup commercial .300 Blackout brass with proper headstamp. Mix of U.S. and imported headstamps, some with crimped primers, mostly once-fired. It has been lightly tumbled to...

I only cast a couple of times a year with my Lee Production Pot - spring and fall. Some years I don't cast at all, and since I cast a lot of bullets when I do I like to empty the pot when I'm done...
Before you write off the Beretta 92 as too bulky look at the compact version. When I saw one I thought the Italians had a different definition of what a compact is, but the one I tried was just...

You can get the rust out of the powder with a magnet but then you have to get it off of the magnet which is tedious. An electromagnet would be great for that chore.

If a classic Rockchucker came along at the right price I would buy it without hesitation "just because". Unless it's been abused I can't imaging one being overly worn or damaged by normal hobby...

Still going through the buckets of shotshell hulls and came up with another lot of 325 once-fired Remington 12 gauge gold Nitro 27 hulls. $48.00 delivered to the lower 48 with payment by USPS money...
Large contract orders can probably stipulate a special headstamp with the information they want. I believe 23 would be the year. I've come across Federal (FC) .223 or 5.56 that had a different...

Years ago I shipped a partially diamantled shotshell press through UPS in a tomato box, about the strongest readily available box you can find. This was before UPS stores so I took it to a small UPS...

If you slug the bore of your 9mm you may find that that the groove diameter is over the nominal .355. Many 9mms have .357-.358 grooves. I use the Lee 358-124-2R unsized with LLA. They drop from my...

I sold a rifle on a website a few years ago and called the nearest ATF office to make sure I was handling it properly, even though their FAQ answered my questions. I suppose I was getting a second...

In my experience Bradford Pears are notorious for sprouting from the lower trunk and surface roots. To get glyphosate into the roots, cut the tree within a few inches of the ground and immediately...

I got a Teslong borescope a couple of years ago, and it was a real eye opener. All of the following are with jacketed bullets. A .243 that I would not have thought had any pits did have a few small...

We seem to miss getting mail a couple or three days a week, then get a big stack. Just today I received a check that was in the mail for almost three weeks getting here from an adjoining state.
I've used 311291 in 30/30, and 311041 in .308 Win. and .30/06 (2-groove 03A3), all with good results.

I've got some Remington Target SV in the form of white box government SV made for military training that the CMP sold years ago. It's still surefire and accurate in my rifles.
I had one of those early .45 convertibles that had .45 Colt throats that slugged about .456. It shot pretty well with .454 cast bullets. Maybe I just got lucky; the gun did not have any faults...
The above open letter to Starline reminded me that I sent an email to Aquilla a few years ago asking them to consider loading a run of .32 long rimfire. Figured there might be as much demand for .32...

One lot of 230 pieces of Hornady .308 Win. brass. Once-fired, lightly crimped primer (a few pieces have heavier crimp), a few lightly carbon-stained. Lightly tumbled but not sized, decapped, or...

This site has about anything you want to know about 7.62x54R military ammo. My quick perusal didn't reveal any Finnish military ammo, but it may be there and I just missed it. There is information...

I wouldn't hesitate to use any brand-name European primer. Since I got into milsurp rifles years ago I've shot a metric ton of 7.62x54R from all over the former soviet union, 8mm Mauser, and .303...
