.22 LR commercial bullets are often .224, and I've found some that are .225. Accuracy is somewhat dependent on how well the bullet fits the chamber throat. A dozen years or so ago I conducted an...

Keep your sprue plate hot. Advice from Charlie Dell that I wish I had learned much sooner than I did. Spill a little hot lead on it at every pour.

My rifles all liked about 6.0 grains of AA#9. That's the old #9 powder that I bought 10-12 years ago. Rumor has it that the newer stuff is different.

Does Lee make a mould for a heeled bullet?

That, too. I chose them for my experiment because they were universally acclaimed as the worst .22 ammo commercially available. And because I'd naively bought several bricks during the first...

Growing up in rural New England in the '50s we had little convenience stores in every village. They not only sold ammo, they would sell to an 11-year-old kid if he had the money. They had no signs,...

Weight sorting made a difference when I was testing Thunderbolts, which back then anyway were "junk' ammo. As you would expect looking at the stats - it became obvious after a while that they were...

Agree - keep the drill press and bandsaw, especially the bandsaw. The corded tools are "meh". They will be mostly ungrounded, not double-insulated, less powerful, and heavy. Speaking from...

Linky no workie.

Shortage of nitrocellulose, they say. War and rumors of war.

Swag = loot, booty

Same, but my reamer came (after months of waiting) from PTG. If it's new brass, it's much too hard, like Bertram's always is. Change brands and see.

The target wouldn't know or care, either.

I rather doubt that the original users of that type pistol cared very much about wrinkles on their bullets.

OP says right off that he has no access to linotype or wheelweights, and you guys apparently didn't notice.

SIMPLE and QUICK solution, although not cheap, is to go buy lead-free plumbing solder,...

I'm decidedly strange, I guess. From childhood I've been able to switch master eyes at will.

Can she try a "pirates' patch" on the left eye? I personally believe you can train yourself out of that extreme dominance with practice.

Megadittos.!!!!! At my age I DREAD subjecting myself to another round of figuring out how to make a new O/S & browser do the simplest tasks, hours of porting my masses of data to new browsers and...

For nostalgia, Krags. Have yet to afford an "as-issued", but I do have a sporterized Norwegian based on one of the few built under Nazi control. One of my "carbine replicas" did very well with...

Maya Ik. Not easy to find. I first discovered it in a grocery in South Houston that catered to Hondurans (they said). Smoky, not all that hot. Found it again in Ann Arbor, but I don't live there...

A brass 6-holer will be a trial to use. Price some NOE or Accurate moulds in the 65-80 grain range first. Big problem there is that they are out of stock - no backorder.

To get you going, I...

Ditto, and cancelled the credit card they had on file.

I use 6mm acorn blanks for two different rimfire-adapter loads. Walther's old copper blanks were great, but Umarex stopped making them. The Umarex replacements are brass, and a bigger body...
