I’ll be sure to share the results... good or bad.
The oil for the compressor arrives today. The Benji is supposed to be here Thursday. A tank in another week but I can fill directly from the...

Well... I bit the bullet and ordered a Benjamin Bulldog when I saw them come back in stock at Crosman a couple days back. I’ve had a Maximus for a good 2 or 3 years now and been using a hand pump,...

Ive used it as an additive for small engines with old gas to help them go.
I used to add it to a Northstar powered Cadillac as it gave me the impression that it idled smoother and didn't have the...

Thanks a bunch! I'm on my first day of my 2 week vacation... and will be checking out my late father's old fryer. It's been sitting out in his work building unused for at least 20 years. He'd be...

Thanks for the advice. I'll admit to not being very familiar with cast iron cooking, let alone using it to melt metals. The fryer is a steel framed one my old man used to cook on when I was a kid, so...

Yep... all over the wheel weight sticky when I sorted earlier this week. There were a few pieces of cast iron that had been out in the weather and had some pitting that I recovered a few years back....

Yep. I'm definitely going with propane with a pot and ladle next time. I just got a wild hair and wanted to give it a go. I figured the sheet lead I had would be decently clean and... it was not. The...

Yep... that's the first and last time I'm ever doing that. I have a old fish fryer and a few cast iron pots I can get for nothing and that'll definately be what I use next time. The pour rate looks...

I melted down about 40-50 lbs of sheet lead with a pound or two reclaimed .22 pellets from my pellet trap. I had all my PPE and was using one of those Lee 20 lb production pots.
It went... ok......

Yep. I was already planning on a 'random doughnut morning' when I can get there right at opening in the next couple weeks when I'm on leave. Good suggestion though. I got turned down by about a 1/2...

Very helpful.
I just got my first bit of wheel weights... about a 1/3 of a bucket a small shop in town saved for me over the course of a few weeks. I ran out of light but I started sorting this...

Atreyu, my last dog had gotten a growth on his leg. We had it tested and it turned out cancerous. We spent about $1500 and had it removed when he was 7. We got 2 good years out of him before he had...

I've been interested a long time and have been reading the forums on and off for months... maybe upwards of a year. I finally got some reloading up and going and decided to take the plunge.

Hi all. Been lurking for awhile... trying to gain what knowledge I can before asking any fool questions.
I'm a long time shooting enthusiast. My old man taught me to reload .308 on a old Lee and...
