I too have been using the screw to board and clamp to bench method for some time now. Works for me anyway, james

I Thank you for your kindness in providing the instructions. I have been looking for a set since I bought my used All American press some years ago. The people such as you on this site is just...

BJung, give me a couple of minutes and I will put up a picture of the Lee trimmer in 30--06. It is not adjustable, trim length is set at the factory by Lee. I use a hand drill clamped to my bench...

There is ONLY one drawback to the 16 and that is reloading data and components to load it. Occasionally BP will have some but they are sold out in a hurry. Most of BP's 16 gauge load data is for...

I ran into the same problem with a 8x57mm mauser Lee trimmer a few years ago. Neither sized nor un-sized case would go into the case mouth. I chucked it up in a hand drill and using 600 grit sand...

Loaded 25 Activ 12 gauge shells with 1 1/8 ounce of shot and International powder. Wasted a 1 gallon milk jug on the test shot.

I use a Thumblers Tumbler with citric powder, dawn, and Mother car wash. Add pins and tumble for about 2 hours. Rinse in clean water and separate pins from brass(a real pain) and then dry in an old...

I got out of service in 1962, june. My pay at that time was $158.00 a month which included $5.00 sea pay. They took $40.00 of that each month for my wife's allotment. Not much wiggle room for...

I only use steel sizing dies for the .45 Colt. I cannot prove that carbide sizers ruin brass but I chose to err on the side of caution. I only know that it works for me. james

Dick's made a big announcement in our town newspaper about removing all pistol and "assault rifle" sales from their stores. Worked like a charm. They are now out of business and the building is...

I almost forgot the single six .22 that I bought in the 60's for $47.50 full retail. Also one of the brand new at that time 10-22's for $42.00 (gun store owner said they wouldn't sale long--too...

Looks like a big old moth to me, james

Yeah, in the good ol days I use to look at the adds in the back of gun magazines with 20mm Lahti anti-tank wheeled guns for sale for $399.00 and up depending on condition. I lusted after one of...

Thanks for the correct designation cwtebay, I thought I had it wrong but was too lazy to look it up. james

Great little rifle. Should be fun to shoot. I personally like the round pistol grips better than the traditional square type. I also like the brass trigger guard. Thanks for the eye candy. james

Elmer was a "bigger is better" man and in some cases he was right. But, I never read or heard of him saying that the .375 H&H was the only elk rifle. Elmer was opinionated of course, but his...

I haven't looked at Brownell's in some time but they use to carry all kinds of tools for stock making including the bottom inletting files. james

Don, I worked up a load for a friend to take to Africa. I can tell you this, a .458 Winchester magnum off a bench will get your attention. I weighed 147 lbs at the time and I regretted agreeing to...

Wolfdog, I have had a pair of homemade shooting sticks for many years now but I like the looks of those you made. Mine are the traditional style with only 2 wooden sticks and small spikes on the...

I watched him this one and only time. But everyone has their own likes and dislikes.

Outside of massaging a super ego, I don't see any benefit at all. But if he is having fun belting himself around, more power to him. But I pass. james

Why not just braze a piece of steel onto the top of the original sight and then file down as needed. That way you can keep the original sight and it looks. If you are wanting to keep the original...

I don't know the scientific mumbo jumbo about the can and can'ts of Black Powder but I do know that the old Battleships of WW II used the holy black and those shells would get up and walk between...

Thanks for the memory jog Wooldridge, I could not think of the material I used so called it laminate. It was laminate but it was cloth and resin of some sort laminated togather to form the material...

Depends on how you are going to use the knife. If hunting and fishing, I would put laminated scales on it. I nearly always used laminated because the knives I made were going to be hunted and...
