I should have added that when I dropped them on a cloth,, they were probably too hot and I also dropped them too far at that. I was using straight wheelweights. I did finally find about the right...

If we are talking about the "same" Lee mould I have had one since it first came out. I thought it would be good for long range shooting so I got one (cheap too). I have shot the bullet with pretty...

I think the break in procedure is a little overwhelming at best. I do in fact try to break in a barrel and not abuse it. My method is to clean the bore well, fire 2 shots, clean it fire 2 more, clean...

When I lived in Tucson I used a 30 Carbine on Coyotes and Javalina. It was always a one shot kill. I don't recommend it, but, I think the carbine might even work on the little Coese deer there. I...
