Thank You to all those that contribute time, effort, wnd/or money for this site. It is the main reason I've had ANY success casting and loading cast bullets.

I've heard this retarded argument from libs in Illinois years ago... They support it mainly as a cure all... Thinking that it will reduce number of wild games animals so that sport hunting "will no...

Here's a shout out & howdy to all others in Michigan...

When in Custer, MI; stop into the furniture store and say hello!

Lost my daughter day after christmas, same thing. Never easy to lose someone close, or someone you can't seem to get close to.

The shock can last a long time. I hope they all recover in time.
...

Good Luck on your casting! I'm also a bit of a noobie, (less than 20 sessions of casting).

Each time you learn a little more and have fewer rejects! I made a lotta mistakes, but less than I...

It's a shame... I was only able to buy one of his molds, my 45-70 marlin likes it just fine!

It's my best mold (can't afford the high priced molds)

If your wife has a good female friend you can talk to "off the record", try that. Her friend might know exactly what the kind of gift your wife would really like.

After all, most gals or guys...

Been there, done that... worst burn I ever had!

Being on a very limited budget, I started out with several Lee molds. For the price they are very good, but not as tough or as durable as the lyman molds. Lately, I've bought mostly lyman molds.
...

That sounds like a good way to get a good "reasonable" way to check headspace... I could also use some thin sheet metal would some shim stock work? I'll see what I have from 0.002 to 0.010 thick...

A little on the loud side... But I think the last one (the 1911 could grow on me)...

I DO like a bit of engraving.... (can't afford anthing like that) do I do like it!

It's been over 35 years since my Dad & I went coon hunting with uncle Mike... It was great! He had bluetick & redbone hounds (IIRC), the sound they made was like magic.

I enjoyed 99% of it......

..... Completely disassembled the bolt & cleaned Firing pins and FP tunnel, also stoned off a small burr on side of front pin. Neither firing pins seemed worn or battered. There was a lot of grainy...

Thanks for the advice... The box that came with it looks like re-loads, also bought some new Rem.
1. Have cleaned it up quite a bit, no change
2. Removed the "cross-receiver" safety (looked like it...

BWAHAHAHA! Spoken like a man who has been married! (been there, done that!)

There is STILL a shortage in my neck of the woods (michigan). 22LR, most popular rifle caibers, most powders, most...

Just starting to cast for my 1911... It seems very happy with the lee 452-200-sw and 50/50 COWW/pure lead running just a little slower than factory 200 grain ammo. The mold uses the regular lube...

Picked up a Marlin 336CS in 35 rem for my buddy to deer hunt with... it's no beauty, but bore looks good and it shoots straight.

Just one issue, it does not make a good solid firing pin dent on...

I would guess dog, wolf, or coyote? Length and width of tracks would help. location would also help (terrain and state).

Trying to learn enough to ID tracks properly... Anyone know any good...

I used to work in IT... We all hated that stealth install junk. There have been some good ideas mentioned here... The three best ones that have always helped me (and I've had to fix some real bad...

I really hate to sound like a newb... but what is a GG boolit? Gas check? Greased Gas Check?

When I first started hunting (in grade school), every single neighbor allowed hunting rabbits & squirrels on their farm lands.

This required a promise that I would only shoot at small game and...

...I hope this helps....

More than you'll ever know it has helped. Being very new to the art of boolit casting, This "summary" thread has finally tied together a lot of basic principles into...

As soon as my friend heals up from his knee operation, he'll slice off a little piece. A member here has very generously offered to test it for us.

----If you get leading,(which I doubt) use a harder/tougher alloy like 94/3/3, or water quench your boolits to get them a touch harder.----
Maybe I missed it, But what exactly would be a good...

Thanks for the info! I learn a lot from you guys!
