Aah... probably that geometry is what makes it so much easier on my hands too bad that seems to rule out a retrofit..

Got a chance to shoot a bisley at the range this weekend, and I REALY liked the feel of it. Now... the problem is, the gun fund is being channeled into the workshp building fund, and according to...

Thats what I was trying to get out, my terminology is malfunctioning. Anyhow, my brother had made some of the same boolits the other day, but heat treated them in the oven to 22 BHN, so I figured I...

Lemme ask a dumb question, in the form of a rhetorical statement. I was under the impression that the 40 s&w was one of the cartridges that headspaces on the rim of the cartridge.

Just the standard seating die, and not much crimp at that

I finaly broke down and CUT DOWN the tree I was using as a backstop the other day and hacked out a boolit. One side was heavily damaged from the target I was shooting (an old liscence plate) but the...

Wow, It never occurred to me that just air cooling aould have such a radical effect on leading. I am guessing this comes from the nature of the crystalization formation within the alloy?

Ok, following the one change rule,
First I re-lubed and let cure, shot ten. Some alleviation to leading, but still signifigant.
Next, I dropped the charge 1/8 gr, which improved the leading in the...

Sorry about that oal number, i dont have any clue what I had on my mind at that time (or lack thereof)
Oal is 1.130.
The reason I am treating the powder charge as I did is the boolit dropped at 180...

First the load info.

Composition-straight ww, water dropped.

I decided recently that the time had come to reload my ever amassing pile of 40cal brass for an upcoming church picnic/turkey shoot (yea we still do that here...save for the live turkey) only to...

Ive been using Kano Kroil on molds and for cleaning for a couple of years, and since I was starting to run low I decided to visit their site to replenish my stock. They have my kriol and aerokroil,...

Last gun show in our state capitol was laughable, literaly, several times my buddy and I were approached by browsers trying to sell $1000 mossberg 500's and $120 boxes of "ultra premium" federal 22lr...

I worked in quality assurance for a water bottling company during college that tried to implement JIT, had big meetings and posters and gave a week of vacation to most of the plant so it could be...

Has anyone ever seen an old gm&o (gulf, mobile and ohio) fob? Ive got an illinois central fob on my westclox conductor but the gm&o was the original line that ran by our house. Evilbay doesnt turn up...

Wow....NICE

Wool fedora (indiana jones pattern) most days, unless i'm going to the coast, then its a heavily raked panama jack. For cold weather one of my leather bomber jackets, sheepskin gloves, egyptian...

Plesse post some pics! I love to see the old top breaks :)

When we moved the family mill to our house so it could be under a shed it weighed in at about 2600 lbs, cast iron, made in 1890. Still works, thanks to years of beeswax and lard. It is a pretty...

Local scrapper pays 18¢/lb, charges $3 sorted or not.

If all else fails the one with a wreath would make a heck of an accent piece, a strap buckle or the like. I seem to remember a mortician friend saying they were "pot metal" which usualy means zinc or...

I wonder how sand would work in there, also, id try one of those rubber work mats you can get from industrial suppliers as a front, they seem to self heal when punctured.
