In addition to my Doc Savage penchant, I'm a sucker for the golden age of science fiction. I remember being entranced by "Ace Doubles" those pulp novels that had two books combined with a cover on...

As a kid I had the entire Doc Savage series. When I left home my mother thought it would be a good idea to donate the collection. Spent the last 20 years rebuilding the collection. They're not...

Willing to pay very well if someone driving north from Orange Texas would pick up four boxes and drop them off in Dallas or Tyler area.
Thanks for looking

And if you really want to get down to the nitty-gritty - Some of us shoot our bullets in the order cast. One of the old writers talked about this - Pope or someone else. Have to go look at my notes.

Indexing the bullet to the case and the chamber doesn't hurt anything. On the flip side I don't understand how it benefits a "good" bullet? The only area I can see a...

If shooting fixed ammunition with the bullet indexed at seating in the case, then I think its of a benefit.

Anyone here from the old San Diego Scheutzen Guild shooting at Dulzura? There was a doctor shooter there at one time firing antique rifles that were worth more than my first home. Almost every one...

I've fired the same case for the last 5 years but then I breech seat. Its marked on the base so it goes into the chamber the same each time. The indexing of the bullets is accomplished by aligning...

I saw some astronomical bids a few months back. Apparently the suppressed guys use it as well.

And yeah, every once in a while I get the "knowledgeable" range officer who informs me that "pounding the bullet into the barrel" is going to blow up my gun.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
There are accuracy stories from the old days of breech seating. One of the most interesting involves having a indexing mark on the bullet and for every round, moving the index 1 hour clockwise i.e....

Depending on how you're moving, it might be best to take it with you. When I moved to texas I rented a separate truck for my safes, ammo and lead. Won't even go into the weight but it was...

I have two 75 pound boxes in Orange Texas that I need to get to Dallas or at least closer to Dallas than Orange Texas. Even to the Kilgore Tyler area would be good. Willing to pay well if someone is...

First off - brisket is the most difficult cut of meat to smoke. One end is really thick, the other really thin. Its expensive to experiment on. You can easily wreck a 90 dollar piece of meat trying...

Mid to late sixties I'd say. I had kegs like that as a teenager.

I love listening to the people at the range who tell me I'm going to blow up my gun when I'm breach seating. Then on the other hand, I've seen people hammering a bolt down to get the round into the...
