Sorry - never loaded cast for the Hakim. I did a lot of shooting with mine back around 2010 or so. That thing made me nervous as all get out, what with all of the horror stories based on the...

Not sure where this should be posted. For those of you with a 9.3x62, www.grafs.com has some reasonably-priced PPU brass. I have been looking for a while, and found it there. They also have a...

^This. Go to Commie(You)Tube and search up "GunBlue490 Loadmaster." He has put two videos there: Pt. 1 and Pt. 2. Start from Square One, and set up your press EXACTLY as he does. Your press WILL...

Hang in there, Don. People do change from time to time. I married a city girl - her parents are/were morons in many ways, good in some others. They were/are anti-firearms. Immigrants that didn't...

Made the meatloaf exactly to your specs tonight, Country Gent. It was absolutely delicious. Not a scrap left over. Felt like we were eating pure energy, too. Thanks a ton from my family.

Sounds awesome! I have all of those ingredients.
We all have Covid at my house, so I’m making darn sure to keep my wife and kids fed with high energy food right now.
My question: what...
