A large, outdoor shooting range I’ve used for years has tall, dirt berms for backstops. They are possibly 20 feet in height.

The berms are tall enough that various shooting clubs...

Call me old … I am … but for many decades I relied heavily on scrap wheel weights from service stations and tire shops. They were happy to give away the used ones.

Nowadays? One...

Some bit of time back I bot a couple of 25lb bags of used (reclaimed) shot from, if memory serves, RotoMetals.

It was dirty and needed to be washed (as their advertisement clearly...

In response to the question about a bayonet on a Martini-Henry … Yes.

My sincere admiration to those capable individuals who form 25-20 from 32-20. Have read articles on it. Watched U-Tube videos on it … BUT … no luck trying it myself. Was fortunate some...

Time was when I thought I’d acquire a 40 S&W but did not.

Not sure what LGS has decided but if he’s a bullet caster I can give an enthusiastic recommendation for the Lyman 257420. Have had one for years and swear by it. Cast of hard alloy...

Bump to the top.

Howdy Pard. Have several vintage bolt actions but not a 8mm Lebel. Nonetheless I know how difficult it can be to find good reloadable brass.

My thot would be to be patient and...

Wish ya luck in getting that old smoke pole up and running. Bot a 92 Winchester in 25-20 in 1957 … still got it … and have cast bullets for it and reloaded ever since.

Not an immediate solution but for the longer term. As 45 Colt cases develop small splits, set ‘em aside and then either use a case trimmer to shorten to 45 Cowboy length … or, my...

Interesting mould. Looks more hand crafted than mass produced. At .37 could well be for conical bullets for Colt and Remington 36 cap and ball revolvers.

Adios
