When I retired twenty years ago, I decided I would take a month off and then find another job. It's been a very long month.

My dad made it to 93. I often thought if he had gone to a high school reunion, he would have been the only one there.

Will an unsized boolit loaded into a cartridge chamber? Try a few of those.
Forum: Cast Boolits

My Rossi 92 hates the Lee 158rf. I can use the Lyman 358665 (158rf) with no problems. Slightly different nose profile. I can also use the Lee 125rf.

Saw an eight pound jug of 2400 today for $350. That's the first 2400 I've seen in about six years. I was very tempted, but I'm eighty years old and I doubt I will use even two pounds the rest of my...

Forum: Boolit Lube !
I have been using WLL BAC, and I just cleaned my gun after about 200 rounds with light to medium loads. There was lube in the bore, but not even a speck of lead.
