I don't beat on my molds with a stick or anything else especially aluminum molds. I use leather gloves when casting and just open the sprue cutter by hand. For me, it's faster as I don't have to mess...

Yeah, I too enjoy fixing broken/damaged things. I buy a lot of stuff that needs fixing if it's cheap but I would rather it hadn't been messed with before I get my hands on it.

I lived in AK for 32 years and earthquakes were just about a daily occurrence. Most were not noticeable but every once in a while they were real thumpers. So far I haven't heard of any deaths or real...

I have a 454 Puma that I load with the Lee 452 300gr with a case full of Lilgun for a mv a bit under 2000fps. I used it as a camp gun while hunting moose in Ak.

For the underground yellow jackets, I use a weed eater over the hole and stomp the ground around the hole to get them to come out. I call it my whirling dervish. For around or inside the house, I use...

If you start with the starting loads and work up like you are supposed to it won't matter which 4831 it is. The starting load on either one will be low enough you shouldn't get in trouble. I have...

The minimum powder in the pan is one thing I haven't tried. I normally fill the pan just below the touch hole. I was told the flash across the top of the pan was the fastest of the burn pattern. I'm...

If I decided to sell them I would list them as is and let the buyer decide how they wanted to clean them.

When I retired I insisted on having a home where I could have a range on my own property. I found that place about 2 miles outside of the small town of Eureka MT. There are only 6 or 7 places within...

It already has a screw in touch hole but it is coned (sort of ) from the inside and it's not coned at a 45 degree angle. Also IIRC the liner is a 1/4". I will make one that is tapered from the...

About ten years back I bought a TC front loader at a gun show in Anchorage AK. It came with two GM 32 cal barrels and two locks, one cap and one flint. The flint combo is by far is the most fun to...

I have a Rem 700 V in 223 and have never had an issue keeping view of bullet strikes with out any recoil reduction devices.

I have two electric splitters. A 5 ton and a 7 ton. I don't have hard wood here just pine, spruce and fir. The 5 ton splits everything fine but is slow. The 7 ton has two speeds and splits most stuff...

I wouldn't spend the time on rusted dies to try to sell. If I needed the dies for my own use I would use some very fine polishing compound on cloth on a dowel and spin with a drill motor for the...

I have an AA but I don't currently have it set up as my bench space is limited. I like the press a lot but chose to mount my 550b and a Bonanza co-ax. When I get my new shop built it will be set up...

I like to shoot but I also like reloading and casting. I have pellet guns as well as 22lrs and center fire from 22H to 416 Rem. I don't shoot a lot anymore so I have enough components to shoot as...

If you're going to shoot it much, I'd go with a six cav.

Looks like a good use for a trash can pickup. Nice job.

It's my go-to boolit for my 1911 and my xds.

I just learned a couple of things from Gears long and very good post. Thanks Gear. I have been casting for about 55 years and have learned a lot by doing everything wrong until I stumble onto...

I think a 4" longer barrel will increase range by 4". It is 4" closer to your target.

With that large of cylinder in the front , it sounds like you will need a heeled bullet. Depending on the length of the cylinder, you may get away with using 32 S&W long or 32 mag cases trimmed to...

I have an old swag-o-matic and made a set of dies for my 7.62 x 25 using 50 cal primer cups as a half jacket and a Lyman 258420 as a core. They come out as an 85gr swc. They work well in my tok and a...

One glove on left hand to cut and open sprue. I don't beat on my molds. I open the sprue with the mold upside down in my left glove and dump the sprue in the glove and then return the sprue to the...

When reloading, I focus on reloading and nothing else. I'm good with silence.
