Have them get on youtube and watch some of the park ranger and camping story recounts on Donovan Dread's channel.
Then they'll be more than content to stay home and play video games.
Problem solved.

And remember: Don't look them in the eye----- they hate that.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I get a little lube on the bottom of boolits even using a sizer.
I just lay a piece of blue jean cloth on my leg, and give them a quick wipe before I seat them.

I've done a couple. It'd be easier with two people, but one person can do a 10' one fairly safely.
Think it through, watch some youtube videos on it.
It's not that big a deal, but 'read & heed'...

That's pretty normal.
Over the years there's been several articles addressing this effect.
Something I've found that helps to have a larger percentage of a batch in the sweet spot is to stir the...

That 32 might be an inspector's mark,
or just how they are sure to keep matching halves together during manufacturing.

Try your best, but it sounds like they have problems you can't fix.
I'd try 'em.
Next time around, I'd also measure the first few off the press rather than the last few.:bigsmyl2:

I doubt you'll shoot your eye out kid.

Stirring aggressively with molten Lead in it is all you need to do.
As soon as the crud gets loose off the side & bottom, it'll float up.
For the nozzle-- I keep a sturdy paper clip...

And I thought my .45-70 was dangerous on both ends.

I think part of their problem is from making that long jump into the rifling when the chamber is really made for LRs.
Years ago, I knew an old WWII guy that had a Marlin 39 from the 1930s or so....

That's very good----- and generous. They don't pay those girls enough to even buy clothes.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Back when I was still hunting, I'd shoot the primary deer rifle about 100 times a year.
Then go hunting with it and kill 2-3 deer per season.
But I sort of counted all the other several hundred...

I've had a few of them.
The ones I had could be scratched easily, and I just tossed 'em the pot like they were pure Lead.

I'd check a few other books.
Something else I've found is powders listed in a old book that they loved so much, they'd about write songs about them--
aren't even listed in the new edition of the...

That's pretty much what the Lee 'Whack-a-mole' was made for.

Another favorite is to sell those pre-paid charge cards at deep discounts in the parking lot of stores that take them.
Only problem is, they were never activated and 'charged up'.
Forum: Rimfire Area
I like 'em.
For me, with open sights on my Henry, they seem to hold about 2MOS(squirrel).

That's cool.
A big consideration for trucks is the load rating on the tires.
My F250 calls for 'E' rated tires that are 10 ply, and can carry up to 3,000-something pounds each at 70psi.

It shouldn't be much different than using plain paraffin, candles, or even crayons for a base in any home made lube.

I've never had a problem shipping either one.
But it is easier to get forgiveness than permission.:bigsmyl2:

I'm a big 311299 fan and have used it in Springfield 03A3, and a M1A.
My mold is a old one from before they changed it from that Coke bottle shape to the new one that looks like a bore rider.

That's good.
I always thought a fun new sport would be to combine either golf or baseball with skeet.

If the grooves are gone on one side, the weight will probably be different on that side too.
Just a guess, but I think they might not stabilize, and fly like a cork screw.

Research it's true value, and see if there's much of a commercial market for it.
If it's cheap and works, I'd get if only to 'market it properly'.
