I'll stick my paddle on the other side of the canoe. I am an avid wood worker and have been for 30 years. Those publications do the same thing, how many ways can you cut a dovetail? How many ways can...

I trust your "kid" has a load manual and more experience than here is my pile and I need to make this work. Blindly trusting information from you tube and random folks on the internet without...

I have a Mec 600 and I load for mine. Shells here are $17.99 and you get the choice of 8 shot or 8 shot. As to why I have one they are fun to shoot and I make multiple trips to South Dakota each year...

Make sure to plug the die hole. I did not and paint alone was thick enough to prevent the die from seating, a q-tip and acetone cleaned it up. Powder coating would be a whole lot bigger problem to...

I am not sure what is required but I am going to visit a guy who has been restoring the ornate coal stoves for 30 plus years. He did a bunch of work for my brother and does a first rate job of...

You are doing the right thing. Ask the questions. Also compare your loading manuals, you will find different load recommendations for the same boolit depending on the manual. They will even change...

I am thinking of getting one nickle plated. One thing I like about reloading tools is that folks don't freak out when you clean one up so it can be used. I get a lot of grief from wood working tool...

Who really cares? That's why we are in this situation to begin with. People who seem to think all of these regulations don't matter. I need a permit to put shingles on my own house because people...

45 long colt? Yes that will sell here. Weigh it and ask the same price you would get scrapping it in the swapping selling section. Buyer pays the shipping. You win and they win.

I agree bow down to Walmart! Heck they only ran every small shop out of the country and turned the USA into a Chinese flea market. That is a small price to pay to save a buck!

Most range hoods don't work because they are not vented to the outside. 90% have that cheesy filter in them and vent back into the kitchen. I bet the one in your house is that way. Out of all the...
