I have an old gun smith friend who is now out of the business but has a TON of brass brushes that are actually perfect for this application. Just gotta get some from him. I've heard kroil is a good...

Great info, I'll use this data to compile some starting loads for myself. Thanks a bunch!

Wow, that is very generous! I will send you a PM once I get my ducks in a row; sounds like good powder especially in todays market. Thank you very much!

I agree, they are stellar rifles, absolutely beautiful. I was planning on using mine for coyotes, but more than likely it will be a target rifle for a while before I get it out in the woods. I can't...

Yeah that's fair. I have some calibers I will never really mess with so I may end up leaving them alone and seeing if I can fix up the others. To be determined.

I'll second barkeepers friend. I used it for my powder throwers and it worked really, really well.

That's reasonable and there's a lot of wisdom in that. But there's a certain level of satisfaction that comes from learning to clean them up. I don't have to sell them, so this is more like a grand...

Noted. This is all very good info that get. What distance were you shooting?

That's really awesome, actually. How did you like those loads?

Wow, very thoughtful response. I want to reload for other calibers down the road, namely .30-06, .30-30, and .45 acp so I will try and get powders that will work for most. I know that the hornet can...

Perfect, thanks for the link. I will look into that.

Excellent, thank you!

That is a bit more work than I wanted to put into it but thanks for the reply! Just curious, any reason you didn't want to put just the skinner or Tech sight on your rifle? I think they both come...

Hello! Brand new to reloading. My dad bought me a CZ 527 .22 hornet when I was a kid and we reloaded for it but had a hard time getting a good, consistent load. I want to start reloading for it, and...

I have heard the electric splitters have very little torque and will get caught in knots and won't be able to split anything but straight grain wood. It would be better to invest in a hydraulic...

Generally, I target 100 yards. I am in NH and can't shoot much beyond that, anyway.

If you don't want to go to a welding shop, take it to a community college that has a welding program. The folks working in the welding department have probably worked with something similar in the...

Well, figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. There are plenty of people out there that love giving old items new life. I certainly don't have the know-how or the tools necessary to make other...

It depends on what the food is and what you are storing it in. Take tomatoes, for instance. They are acidic (this is mostly true for heirloom varieties) so if you plan on pressure canning them at...

I am looking to get rid of the factory rear sight on my CZ to increase my sight radius (also, they're not great) and was wondering if others have had experience with Tech Sights or the Skinner Sight...

I ended up recleaning the dies with some bar keepers friend to remove the rust, layered on some IPA to dry it up and used the Renaissance wax to prevent additional rusting. I followed that up with...

I had a similar question and got many responses. Here is a link to the discussion for some more info if you are interested.

That's a good suggestion. I will give that a shot!

Edit: I did this a few nights ago to some test dies that I don't mind losing and it worked pretty well! I probably added about 5 table spoons of...

Hey that's great feedback. I was just looking at the Lyman 66 and think that would be a better alternative. Thanks for the info!

Hi all, I have a Marlin 336 and wanted to put a tang sight on it, specifically the Lyman No. 2. I want to use this rifle for hunting eventually but I am not sure of the practicality of having a tang...
