"Texas Gun Clinic." I would have liked to shop there in '66.
I use these to store powder and primers. Look how they perfectly fit up there on that shelf! I wish I had 20 of them for storage. The dim one held Remington .22 LR. The other carried .32 Special...

Hi Gents. OP here with a conclusion to this thread. Thanks to everyone for your insights, but I did have to travel down Plan B: I could not slide the magazine forward to install the one-piece...

My story is similar. One can totally cast off a small skillet and a Coleman stove. I’ve done it for 45 years. I’ve never even needed to use a thermometer, I just gauge how far the flames lick...

I’ve had success with the standard 10 grains Unique, under 115 grain gc lyman 311316.
293072293073 From a NW club's small gun show I chose three molds from a fine gentleman's table of casting paraphernalia. The Winchester is actually usable with some cleanup. The 360, I realized...

Something to consider, if any lever guy believes he may ever own a .375 Winchester, with its attending unavailable ammo, spent .32 Special cases fireform nicely for that. The necessary neck...

I was "forced" in 1976 to obtain a Lyman 311316. My father gave me a Stevens .32-20 and one box of ammo. Then, it was up to me to procure any more rounds. I doggedly assembled reloading gear with...
