My intent is for it to die, not bud or leaf out, then cut it down.

I have a bradford pear tree too close to the house. I want to kill it and cut it down. I drilled a 1/2" hole about 3" deep at a fork, and have been pouring Roundup in the hole from time to time all...

I'm one of the obsessed with accuracy guys. I regularly compete in CBA benchrest. What counts is your score. To me, I don't care what "class" someone shoots in, the score is what counts. If you...

I watched Green Mountain Barrel's site for a long time at those 14 and 12 twist barrels, and they were always out of stock. Gave up. So I bought another lower, upper parts, and turned down a retired...

You're not going to do much about a crooked chamber. Crowns can but re-cut.

After reading through the comments here, I found Generac makes portable units that fall into the same price range as the others. Their website sucks, hard to find the models. One thing I found...

Thanks for the comments. First, I'm not concerned about noise I'm out in the country and don't have to worry about others. JonB, I'm sure it's made in China, maybe it similar to a HF model, but one...

I have a smaller inverter generator that I used for my RV, but it doesn't have a 240 volt outlet. Either of these new gens can do the RV of course. I've never seen a automobile inverter that does 240...

I'm looking at two makes/models, both are 8750 watt inverter, WEN GN875i and Champion 100520. Not looking to power the whole house, just a few circuits and well pump. Anyone familiar with either...

First, this thing about Sako blown back through the raceway to the shooter's face has been hammered to death. I agree with Mr. Taylor, you would have to blow the case apart to make it happen. But,...

I do the cleaning rod method. Easy to do at the range. But that just gives you a COL for that bullet, that seating depth. I usually add .005" to the COL to give a slight seat to the throat, and start...

Amazing that Amazon has those for a hundred bucks or less, and PTG is 4 times that.
Forum: Gas Checks
Good points made here. I think a check needs to be seated into the check. The base of the bullet is square, the inside corner of the check isn't. Plus, many checks (Hornady) are cupped from the...
How are the alignment pins and socket installed in the mold blocks? Are they pressed in? Are they much different from maker to maker?
I'm thinking of converting a bottom pour to nose pour, but one...

I have a 6PPC reamer that I can't count the number of barrels it has cut. I pre-drill the barrel about .050" short of the shoulder. I go in and check/dial in the barrel as close to zero runout as...

I still use a round tray LEE. I load at the range/match often, so a handheld is it. Plus I hate picking one primer at a time. so I have kept the old LEE going.

As cast bullets aren't round. For accuracy rifle bullets, I bump the nose, seat and size base and GC, then PC as thin a coating I can. I run the base back through the sizer after PC to get it back to...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I lube and size my bullets before I PC, and again after PC.
I use a RCBS lube pad and use their Case Lube II. It is water soluble and I wash them with Dawn to PC. After PC I just roll them in a...

Thanks all. I have no issue with the size of the Lyman, holds plenty for the bullets I cast. I'll just keep using what I have.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I prefer to ladle pour than bottom pour from a pot. I have been using a Lyman ladle, the pour snout is tapered to help match the sprue plate funnel, and I turn the mold to it's side, place ladle in...

The OP has done what it takes to get some degree of success accuracy wise. There are so many variables, small details that end up being very important, to make it all come together. And it's just not...
