I wish you well from North Carolina. I am going in Thursday for rotator cup surgery.

I have a friend that wants to jump into local .22 Match competitions. I tried to stear him into something like a C-Z 457 bolt action, but he seems to want Burgara BXR carbon .22 semi auto. Has anyone...

I am just shooting local matches just for fun. I sometimes get some shots that I cannot figure out why. (I KNOW YOU GUYS NEVER HAVE THOSE.) I was hoping to have an excuse, but you are not giving me...

I am hearing a lot of shooters like "Bore Tech Rim Fire Blend" for cleaning. Does this product not deep clean the barrel as much as other products and therefore better for Match guns?

I got into .22 Match shooting about five months ago. I have a C-Z 457 MTR heavy barrel and shoot S-K Match .22 bullets. Match bullets have a heavy coating of Beeswax on the bullet. I have been told...

I have a friend that is loaning me a thermometer so I can check my lead. I am also going to try heating lead on the stove so I can gradually increase heat. I truly appreciate all the advice I am...

I tried it again today. I sprayed the mold with carburetor cleaner then washed with Dawn. I waited until the hotplate had fully heated the mold, then poured. Wrinkles. I then left the mold ON the...

I have used steel molds for years and never had a problem with heat retention. I have avoided aluminum molds up to now but now I have to use one. I have a four cavity Aluminum NOE mold for a.38 Cal....

Prior to your good suggestions I found that neither Saeco nor Lyman make that size resizing die either.

NOE website shows no resizing kit for .38m Cal.

I have been having a Devil of a time getting the desired bullet to load for my C-Sharps .38/55. The manufacturers are not producing much of a choice lately. I am looking for a cast bullet about 255...

I never did check pressure. I put some toilet paper in the base of the cartridge on top of my charge of 9.0 Gr. Unique. Immediately I was advised by a couple of shooters that doing so could cause...

There -in lies part of my problem. I guess I should have stated that I use the gun for B.P.C.R. competition. Most loads are for lever action hunting loads and many use jacketed bullets. I slugged my...

I have a C-Sharps 1885 in .38/55 with a 29-1//2" barrel. I want to shoot Smokeless and have been shooting 9.0 Gr. of Unique with a 255 gr. .278 dia. coated bullet. I am not getting the accuracy that...

I have not even tried papering my first bullet, so this may be a stupid question. If you had a template for .45 cal. bullets, would it not work for ALL .45's? Cannot templates of proper Cal. be made...

I loaded up some rounds with1/4 square, but I still loaded 9.0 Grains. You seemed worried about the pressure, should I have reduced it to 8.0 grains? Should I pull them?

I consider a sheet of toilet paper about 4"square. Do you mean 1/4 of that?

I am shooting a 255 Grain. bullet out of my .38/55 using 9 Grains. of Unique powder. I want to hold the powder against the flash hole and am thinking of putting a .38 Cal., .30 "Walters Wad" wad on...

I got it up and running toasty, thanks for the reply.

Does anybody remember the old metal Jon-e handwarmers that hunters used many years ago? As recall, it used lighter fluid for heat, can anyone confirm?

I just found a Jon-e handwarmer my Dad used to use when hunting. It is a re-usable metal handwarmer that goes in a cloth sack after it is lit. It is similar to the old Zippo lighters and if I...

If you succeed in loading and shooting Black Powder, I would TOTALLY disassemble the gun for cleaning afterwards.

In another thread, the guy tumbled with some car wax added. That might work, if nothing else it is better than a liquid lube.

I have always wanted to go to the big Black Powder shoots in Idaho. To make it a perfect trip from North Carolina, I would like to find a place to fish. The problem is the little Lady and I are...

Ditto to what 1903 said.
