That is a sweet looking rifle. Looking forward to hearing how she shoots.
I think these are kind of cool. Anybody know how old they are?

Went looking for Lundmark Liquid Paste Wax at two hardware chains, Ace and True Value. Both said they used to stock it. Both looked at their computer to see if they could order some for me, and...

I am going to try this. Are you guys buying the little 4 oz bottles from Lee? I thought there was a member/vendor on this site that sold the equivalent liquid alox product? I went through the...

Great ideas in this thread that I will shamelessly add to my beginner technique. Thanks!

KirkD - Thank you for the fine photos and load data. Some very good info for loading 45-70 and using SR4759. I am using 28.0 gr of SR-4759 with the Lyman 457122 with very good results. That...

A beautiful day today, and my tradition for remembering those who have served and sacrificed, is to go to the range with a military rifle. My M1 Garand is often selected to make the trip, because it...
Good looking boolit. Got to love those old H&G molds. You should have fun with that one.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Your photo shows a firmly crimped cartridge, and since it is not too long, you are good to go. I have that one in a 4 cavity Lyman mold - great boolit. To get them to feed in a Marlin 1894, I need...
Good job with the fixes. Some lessons to be learned here....
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I am interested in your results. I have used a limited amount of both Lars 50/50 and BAC ( about 1 stick each, am running 5 lubrisizers ) and have been pleased so far.

The one positive moderating trend is usage appears to be decreasing. I know the 22RF shooting activity at my range has slacked off. When a brick is selling for $75, the mag dumps from the 10/22...
