Reviving a very old thread. My first bottle of Neolube was half empty when it somehow found its way into my seabag as I got off the submarine and returned to 'normal' life. Finding a new bottle took...

A better approach is using colloidal graphite in isopropyl alcohol. A dry lubricant I've been using since the 1970s and my nuclear Navy days. Prevents stainless steel galling. Also resists hot...

Started when I was 16 or so because I was going thru my dad's cast bullets too fast. I'm 73 now.

I have had 2 molds modified to double HP, a difficult to find 40 caliber "Cowboy" Ideal 400-43, and a Lyman 356402 (shown). Beautiful machining in both cases. He also trued up a Lyman 429421 4...

Agreed; tempering is not stress relieving. It is actually inducing a certain level of stress based on alloy, highest temperature reached during heating, quench temperature, quenching fluid (water,...

Funny thing is they don't even know where food comes from. Turn off the power, turn off the water, and any metro area in America starts eating their pet dogs and cats in about 4 days. It will take...

Those hippies don't own anything nuclear and it's going to bite them in the rump hard in the next 10 years.

Bought the knock-off of Frankfort tumbler some time back. Works fine. Noticed there was a lot of talk about getting clean brass and media OUT of the barrel, not so much about getting dirty brass...

Great answers all! Mabye a Sticky should be put up so others don't fall into this trap. Using Google helped greatly.

Worked from JonB_In_Glencoe's approach and found what I was looking for.

I've used up my search engine tricks brought with me into retirement.

I'm looking for 40 S&W loads, and also for moulds suitable for 40S&W including the 38-40 mould that I did not create a...

Have read Ringworld series several times. The characters are a little on the "cartoony" side for development, but that has to go to the future when being or not being at the top of the food chain is...

Little Fuzzy by H. Beam Piper is a great book, particularly for the younger reader. However, his short story Omnilingual is perhaps one of the best stories of a possible Mars, now long gone with...

Wayne:

Thought I replied to your post, guess I did something wrong. East edge of the dumb as a box of rocks Bell Curve.

If you liked the format of Nelf Rings you should like "WISLOD 1 - Nyla...

Wayne: thanks for the kind words! Yes, this is the first part of a 3 book series. I am in the clean-up phase for the 2nd and 3rd books, and will post when they come up on Kindle.

Yes, sitting and signing books would feel awkward. Being mildly sauced can also be framed as 'writing with a sufficiently liberated imagination'.

I tried paperback publishing and...

Jonp - thanks, every little bit helps. The actual Fantasy and Sci Fi Facebook group I belong to has shown zero interest. Don't know who I p--sed off, but there you have it.

Be truthful in any reviews and if you liked it let your friends know. Kindle's advertising process is a little on the complicated side for me, and I was trained on nuclear submarines, so go...

MrWolf - yes, as we said on submarines, fun flies when you're doing time.

Earlier for previous book a synopsis was requested. Here is the lead in for the virtual inner cover of the book:

Erik put together that 2 cavity HP rig on a brand new Lyman 356402. Runs right at 115 gr with my alloy, and now that I have the Lyman bottom pour pot dialed in for the...

Having grown up in western Oregon, and visited Portland routinely, the Seattle stories about rainfall are mostly hogwash. Portland has a U of O Suicide study center because the weather is so grim. ...

Not to mention that a lot of Montanans drive 3 hours 1 way to get groceries. Montana is the electric car’s worst nightmare.

Erik just refurbished a well used 429421 4 cavity that had screw threads eroded from decades of use. Also resurfaced the sprew plate. Wonderful work.

Am looking at having him modify a...
