As no one makes a mold anymore I emailed tom at accurate molds to see what he thinks about a custom mold. What are the realities of loading a bullet this long in a 38 special? Case bulging, do I...

Wadcutter yep, 200 or more. Tried tracking down one of the HG molds for 230 grain pin bullets too, but obviously enough time has passed since they closed shop they are now heirloom level.

Ah I see the mods are deleting my replies again without indications why. I said to Ed Harris the atmosphere here is not what it used to be, and suggested I correspond on survival boards instead....

The first one listed doesnt have the enquiry about twist rate, just the browning. Hope that relieves the strangeness of the matter.

I said twist rate on the browning. Cant seem to find many references to it online.

Italy has only lost 34,000 people, they lose that many every two months to cancer. Hardly a skills or workforce shortage on a country with 60 million people. The bottlenecks are purely lockdown/shut...

Not sure to be honest, starting in the 70's there was a drive to put most of the native species on no kill lists, including some sharks. Most the hunting/killing here was always introduced pests...

I still dont understand how we had the ability to send an email, run a spreadsheet, play an MP3, stream a video almost 20 years ago using computers dozens of times less powerful than now. But for...

I did a wilderness EMT course in a little place called Conway in NH about ten years ago. I was on leave from a contract in afghanistan and flew into to get the US EMT-basic qual as everyone wanted it...

Hopefully we dont have fires like last year, but also hope we wont have the ridiculous world media response either. It was beyond bizarre-, viral satellite maps showing the whole continent on fire,...

Apart from the elite brands( ziess, lieca, kowa etc) spotting scope brands are less important than where their actual models are being made. Konus for example is a lesser product than vortex usually....
