The start cartridges have been (at last!) finalized and in their "presentation...

Hi, Folks!

I'm going to vote for the 38 - 55 because I have two Winchester rifles in that caliber and I love them!

One long, a "Klondike" model rifle, and the other a 16" Trapper. I reload for...

While I love the 38-55 and reload for it, I hardly consider it "obsolete."

My favourite obsolete caliber HAS to be the 32 rimfire. Short AND long.

I have a Frank Wesson 1862 carbine that has...

Wow. Lots of technical stuff to learn. Just by pure luck, I seem to have stumbled upon a working mixture.

I know absolutely NOTHING about Polly's Uncle Fester, and even less about POAs. (POA to...

If the truth be told, I haven't actually recently mustered out of anything. I'm just old and cranky. LOL

But now, the STP I've used in my "formula" I think has addded to the "slippery" factor as...

Hi everyone... I'm new to this forum, but have been around firearms a LONG time. Just would like to say hello!
