I think 100 yards with a handgun is pretty iffy. The problem is that handguns are difficult to shoot accrately compared to a rifle. I have killed game up to and including caribou with a handgun - a...

Last year I had a Remington #2 rolling block relined to .32 S&W Long. Worked up some quiet and accurate loads with 100 grain cast flat point. Quiet because I kept the velocity below mach 1. So no...

is winter over yet

Not here it ain't. Had snow again last night. Days are getting longer though so there's hope.

Good job. You haveafriend for life.

I have a C-H tool. It works but I replaced the round ball that is designed to put pressure on the cannelure disc with a longer handle made of wood. It allows putting more pressure on the disc...

The .303 British cartridge has a larger diameter rim than the .444. The difference is nearly 30 thousandths. If the extractor will work for the smaller rim will the ejector as well? If they need...

A lot of guides get gear as a tip. Sometimes a rifle or something else to show appreciation.

I have used the markers sold to welders and steel merchants. Comes in a few colors. You take the cap off and push the felt tip to get it flowing. Used it on the minimal front sight of a Ruger LCP...

I dunno - I think that accuracy requires weighing each boolit. I have tried using boolits that did not appear to have casting flaws but the groups were nothing special. Finally I tried segregating...

I don't think there is much difference in 'Brisance' - or what ignites the powder. In my experience the main difference is the stiffness of the priming cup. It may be thicker or it may be made of a...

After spending some years in Mexico I can attest that hispanic sardines are good - just packed in bigger tins. Usually they are packed in tomato sauce. I like them with Mexican hot sauce. The...

In my younger years I learned that rabbits live in a cycle. Depending on pressure from animals like foxes, coyotes, and humans they would buld up to an overabundance. Then they would die off and it...

How bad do you want them?

A detail: Household white vinegar is normally 3% acetic acid. Stronger vinegars are available if you look for them. Up to 30%. Don't know if this will help but maybe.

How is the trigger? Is it like Ruger's normal heavy, creepy? Will the rifles still need a trigger job?

Jim

Two thicknesses of red shop towel. I put a pencil under each edge to try to prevent the boolits from rolling off when the towels get full.

I hope to spend more time in the mountains. The last few years I have missed it. I foolishly took a part time job at a hardware store. That ended this past year whjen it burned. Now I need to...

Hi. Good idea for hogs. I have never shot one but that mould hardly qualifies as a flat point boolit. How big is the FP? An eighth of an inch? Since your boolit mould produces a boolit that...

The reason for this advice is that the appliance is designed for the lower amperage. The circuit in the wall will support the higher amperage but the wiring in the appliance may not. Be safe. Get...

In Europe moose are called Elk.

I agree about making a small rifle for the .32 S&W Long. I havd one on a rolling block action. If you want some of my research here is where my post is:

Dawn dishwashing liquid works well for me. Only difference is I prefer to use a new toothbrush from the Dollar store. Use hot water from the tap, scrub all surfaces of the mould including the sprue...

I have a Henry single shot rechambered to .357 MAX. As stated above the MAX will push a 180 grain boolit about the same velocity as a 170 grand .30-30. That is good enuf for me - and the components...

For what it's worth I subscribe to the one percent club. Dropping 100 grain .32 boolits I separate into piles of 100 to 100.9, 101 to 101.9, etc. With 200 grainers it's a two grain acceptance. 200...

Window units are loud. If that's OK you can do it for $150. If you cab't stand the noise it will cost more.

Mini splits are surprisingly quiet. And, if you want, a mini split can heat in winter...
