    Obsolete bullets: Couldn't you like something COMMON?

    I've had the same deer rifle since I was 13. A hand me down, pre-64 Winchester 94 in 30-30. 16" barrel, with the chopped chort stock to fit my kids frame. At the age of 40 I've still never got around...

    I think Tom at Accurate Molds catalogs a few bullets that are pretty similar to RD's designs. I'm kicking myself for not getting one of his six cav 30 moulds when I had the chance... and I certainly...

    Yeah, we never got around the the FreeChex machine. I may have to stop out for another visit. Still would like to see that tumbler too, once it gets above freezing again.

    Yeah, I've been a devoted Leatherman guy since I was 16. I've got half a dozen Waves now, and I send them back in shifts for warranty. I wait until I've got two or three that need repair or...

    Having handloaded for so long for my common handgun calibers, and casting bullets, I'm fiscally offended by buying factory ammo. I'll put up with .22s, they're at least not ridiculous, but the price...

    I never got the tacti-cool black rifle and plastic pistols thing, for a lot of years.

    I had my wheelguns. Easy to load for, easy to shoot, and easy to shoot ACCURATELY, which was always more...
