I prefer the tube over the gate. Tried them both for use outside of the range. For use with and without gloves, unloading, etc., the tube worked easier and faster.

As long as I have hair, I'll pay someone to cut it. In turn, I hope they would choose to pay for my services one day.

Just throwing this out there, but in testing shot with a 45 Colt revolver, the best pattern I got was using 410 shells. Something about the shot cup in a revolver just worked and tightened patterns...
Start looking at the MSDS sheets for various products. Take the CAS # from it and look it up. Before long, the term "snake oil" will enter your mind.
I use 3 in 1 oil regularly. I've also seen...

I don't expect my local guy to stock his shelves and complete with big online retailers. I paid 31.99 a lb. for 2400 a few weeks back and because I did, the guy who owns the local shop made a few...

Yep. I Stopped ordering clothes online and when I go to a store the first stop is for a tape measure to measure the waist of pants, length of sleeves, etc. All the while I figure if I can't buy...

What is your time worth to you? My Braztech Rossi cost me multiple trips to the range and many hours to get smoothed out, repaired and usable. The main issue was the barrel band that had a misaligned...
I'll second that. While I have a lot of Unique on hand, and it does 'work', it seems to be the Subaru Brat of powders for me. It does everything.... half way. I've since moved to 2400 for revolver...
Before you buy a mold, you should call Ed and see if he can put you together a starter pack to test. He lists the following available.

I've got the Savage 93 in 17hmr and while it's a great shooter, the clip feed is horrible and I get annoyed cleaning the thing. A special size little rod, tiny jag, tiny patches, etc. Feels like I'm...

Having used distro after distro since 2001, my biggest annoyance had nothing to do with the desktop(s) or package managers. Rather it's Fluxbox, Gnome or KDE was just fine. My choice of distro over...

Looks like it takes a sturdier full moon clip.
It's a good thing no one ever patented a shovel. If they had, we'd have 20 libraries full of laws defining what a shovel "is" or "isn't" and they would cost $1500 a piece. Not counting the 2 years of...
This reminds me of a conversation with my barber. He has a 22 revolver in the drawer and while many people say "That won't do anything", no one has ever volunteered to take one. Any caliber is better...

No, I do not. Even though I was raised a Primitive Baptist and my childhood bedtime stories came straight out of the King James.

I chose 'other' because 2400 was not listed. I had to do a double take though since we're on a cast bullet forum and there was no 2400 or 4227 listed. I like Unique too, but it's the Subaru Brat of...

I once picked up a box in a Circuit City that said Suse Linux 8.0. I thought "what is this?" and gave it a try. Never looked back. XP was new the last time I used Windows for home use.
What he said. Buying a product goes beyond just it's use. It's dealing with the company that'll make that purchase worth while in a decade.
Leupold gets my vote.

Try the talk first, and if that doesn't work then get one of those recordings of 1950's bluegrass and show the bass lovers what nothing but treble sound like.

Mine gave me fits until I lapped the drum. I just used Brasso that I had under the sink. Once done, cleaned and dried I just drew all over the surface with a pencil for the graphite. I also tried...
I load 45 colt for a 5.5" revolver, 16" carbine and 20" rifle with scope. I've settled on 2 bullets for use. First is the commercially made Magma 45-250 which I buy in bulk from Missouri Bullet Co as...
Check out the VX-3 series Leupold scopes for that price range. They have a 6.5-20x40 that may interest you.

I can only speak for the 92 and the Henry. In the field, it's easier to turn the 92 upside down and run hot water through the bore since it's top is open. Once I drilled out an empty and put a...
