I have 3 lubesizers on the bench next to an arbor press set up for NOE dies. I still lube some but with 30 cal and 357 lever guns you can shoot them at max 357 speeds without gas checks if you PC.

No one around here gets rid of Cast Iron. I bought the H.F. set of 3 for $15.99 a few years ago. It took a while to settle in but I use the 8" fry pan almost every breakfast.

Do these hang below the action or fit flush?

Nice going, it sounded like a fun time. I ate eel for the first time last year and was pleasantly surprised. I have never lived near water that has them.

My point is you may have seconds to decide whether that elk is 283 yards away or 329. By the time you pull out a range finder and adjust sights, it may be moving again. I am okay with using this if...

Most jurisdictions require a size pipe entering the house that allows you to add another appliance. With a 4' crawl space the job should not be unreasonable. You will need 120 for the electric,...

What range do you hunt at and what is your maximum shooting distance? Are you willing to watch a 6 point feed at 300 yards while the 300 Winchester stays in the safe?
Yes you can take whatever firearm you want as long as it is encased in a 4" coating of Lucite.

Size the brass and feel how much force it needs to resize it. Go over the base and neck with a good set of calipers, measure with a mike and write it all down, just use the calipers as a feeler. If...

A round nose may be the most accurate but it doesn't cut paper cleanly. That makes it harder to score and less likely to get a point for cutting a line giving you a 10 instead of a 9. It also slips...

Never used AA4350 but have shot 4-5 lbs of AA 4064. It is close to the IMR powders but differs in some cartridges. Use their data and do not substitute another brand. In the late 90's or early 00's,...

I am ok with your choices if you consider the revolver as a replacement for archery equipment. Slow stalks, picking out spots that you can shoot and waiting for the right shot to happen. It may not...
All the RD molds I ever saw him catalogue are tumble lube. No standard lube grooves if they have been ordered from RD. NOE has taken over the design and may do with it as he wishes, but I don't...

Look for AA9, 300 MP or something slower than 2400. If you want a plinking load consider that PP is very closer to Unique, IIRC.
