We didn’t choose electric, around here there is no natural gas available East of US-1.
Some of our prior homes had gas. It took some time to get used to all electric. A gas stove top heats up...

As kids we reloaded in the basement. Dad had me cover the floor drain in the reloading area with duct-tape. He said the last thing he needed was 1 and 1/8 ounce of #7.5s in the drain lines.

I understand that’s the procedure as set forth in the instructions. My digital calipers are set to 1.290”. The L&L trimmer is set to cut to 1.289”. If I check case length around the circumference...

Only ‘expanding’ I do is flaring the case mouth and that occurs after I trim.I kind of figured flaring would shorten the COL slightly. Trimming is something I really don’t enjoy doing. Part of the...

I just noticed a couple ‘guest’ posts in the Reloading Tools subsection. After six years membership I never knew (or completely forgot) non-members could post on Cast Boolits.

I batch process all my brass. Decap, tumble, lube and size, then store for future loading. With .30 I added the step of gauging length after sizing. Roughly 10% require trimming. They go in a bin...

Makes a guy wonder ‘what is the true cost reloading supply stores pay for primers?
The demand for primers is so high that nobody is going to sell them at or below cost. Nobody.
At $69 / K, we can...
I’m of similar mind about the 52-2 mentioned in post# 8. I took a closer look at it last week. It’s not ANIB, having a few minor scratches. Only has one magazine. And it has been there for 8...

The double cannelure rings indicate it was loaded with a HBWC, a single ring near the middle of the case would be for DEWC’s.
Again, what’s wrong with ‘plated wadcutters’ in a 52?

Florida makes it easy. A reminder 30-45 days before expiration. Renewal can be on-line, via mail or in person at the tax collector’s office.
The first two options require the holder to purchase...

I don’t have wide feet but have to buy 9EEE on account of my arches and insteps being high. Slip-ons, especially boots, are out of the question.
It’s about time someone brings suit against the...

Came across them in a miscellaneous parts box. Identical but one is SP and other is LP. Anyone know what press they fit?

Ducks & geese can unwittingly transport fish eggs (pike eggs too) in their feathers. We bought a property that was overrun with pygmy warmouth bass the original owner had never introduced to the...
Several years ago Clark ran off a batch of model 52, 1-10 twist barrels. They were sold out before Clark started making them.
My 52-2 was built right before they shut down the line. I’m told the employees in that department went over to the performance shop afterwards.
The LGF connected to the indoor range I frequent...

If your friend finds the Sako rings he wants will he be selling the high mounts?

Porcupine Mountains / Lake in the Clouds Wilderness State park is worth a few days stay. Fort Mackinaw is neat but it doesn’t get any more historic than Fort Michilimackinac.

7 mm REM mag. Really too pretty to hang in the pickup’s rear window but I did take a black bear, a couple whitetails and a slew of prairie dogs with it. Kind of brutal to shoot prone with a...

Even better they charge another C note if you want them to install, plus the shipping. But then I don’t know of anyone competent to fit and install it around here. Far and away the best rifle I...
