After Irene put 8 inches in my house [just enough to wreck most everything] everything had to be emptied to rip out the floors, 4 ft of Sheetrock on the walls, wiring, kitchen cabinets etc. Most...

The lightest I ever loaded for my .45-70s and 45-60 was the 292 gr lead, mold #457191.

Called the sheriff’s office the other day. Hadn’t come back. They’ll call me when it does.

Always resize new brass. Irons out any dents and makes them all uniform. Plus it gives you a chance to inspect them for damage or missing flash holes. Quality control isn’t what it once was.

Sorry to hear about your 1873 rifle. They are pretty neat. I bought a used Uberti Cimarron 30 inch 45 colt 1873 that had a bad barrel. Sent it to them and it took almost a year before another barrel...

Tumble every reload except if I’m working on a handgun load. Reload a handful of them, check for function, shoot them off my deck and reload again until I'm satisfied with them. I also don’t pick up...

The global economy sucks.

Pixie dust? Been fairy dog hunting?

Heaviest boolit that Ive ever loaded in a .45 colt was a 292 gr RNFP 45-70 boolit that was resized down to .454, the gun would not group .452 boolits. Did it for bowling pin shoots way back when that...

I tried reloading some pretty Fiocchi 12 ga hulls that I found after a cas match and got terrible crimps. May have worked better with a role crimp. They had very thin walls, little compression and...

Anything that uses crypto as a way to pay is a scam.

Never messed with lee stuff other than their old Auto Prime, a few die sets and push through sizer dies. I have a couple nice RCBS measures that I use for load development but run Dillon 450 and 550...

My ccw runs out this month along with my DL. I filled out my application last month and paid so I’m waiting for a call to come by the sheriffs office to pick it up. Probably do my drivers license...

My first Cadet was in 357 and sporterized. My second was still a correct Cadet on the outside but chambered in 32-20. Sold the 357 after I bought the other. Used 32-20 brass and 30 carbine dies and...

I use old broken candles to flux my pot and smoke up my molds. I have a small lee pot and just keep adding wheel weights and range lead when I cast. Never messed with ingots. A waste of time and...

Nice rebuild. Always good when you can repurpose a good tool and get more use out of it.

Might want to keep an eye out for a Martini Cadet. I once had a sporter in .357 mag. Good shooter.325379

Ive cast those .457s before also. I wouldn’t be concerned. As long as the rest of the bullet is filled out you should be good.

Tried trail boss but didn’t like it so I tried tin star=N32C and found it worked great with cast loads in my Krags and Springfields. But sadly I'm down to 2 cans. I do have red dot and clays though....

Smoke your molds good too to keep anything from sticking to them after a good cleaning. Most of my molds are 2 cavity so I squeeze them tight.

I almost moved out there in 1973 or 1974 but luckily the California girl from college that I was traveling with and I broke up halfway across Canada. I spent the summer in Seattle. Nice place but I...

I put a 4 prong fh on my dedicated Seekins .22 AR. Has totally eliminated the recoil.

I have one that’s been bored out to .32-20 which is waaay too small bullet diameter. I use 32-20 brass and .321 150 gr rnfp and bullseye. A super cute rifle. Had a sporter Martini Cadet in 357 mag....

APEX had small parts for those .38 Webleys at one time.

Got me. I expected a Model 41 not a .41. Can’t go wrong with a Smith wheelgun. My fav is a 625.
