I have been using the same jar of black shoe polish for my entire adult life - a sure sign In lucky enough not to need to polish shoes often. Still, I like the brand I have, Propert's... the only...

More power to those willing to go through the effort, but I have better things to spend time and money on than attempting to use cast bullets in cartridges designed around jacketed bullets.

I have had the same good experience with the Note series. Love having the stylus when I want it.

I'm not exactly sure I understand your description of the problem, but if motor function has decreased to the point where she can't actually perform a short swipe across the screen because...

My Mom was afraid of fat thanks to the bad science of the middle and late 20th century, so we never did that growing up. When I went keto, I started keeping bacon grease and have had some in the...

I have used the parametric sketch function of FreeCAD before, and now I use Fusion360 to model things. Both can be had for free and are very capable once you get the hang of it.
I second the...
I have a 3" Model 63, and it's surprisingly accurate too. I'm not the world's best pistol shooter, but I would rather shoot spinners with it than with my wife's MK III Hunter despite the longer...

I got to visit Texas for the first time last year and we had a great time, roaming all around between Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and San Antonio. The Hill Country is quite lovely, although a bit...

I have never used modern cast iron anywhere near as good as the stuff I've gotten from the antique store and seasoned myself. If you can't find a good one from back in the day, just buy Lodge and...

There is no scenario where I can imagine shooting my Model 60 in single-action, it's just there to get in the way. The double-action pull is so good anyway, I don't know why I would bother. I might...
My carry gun is exactly as you described. A S&W Model 60 with a 3" barrel, adjustable sights, all steel, 357 magnum chambers, recent manufacture. Mine has the Hillary Hole, but it hasn't been a...
What kind of velocities were you getting with Unique and that Lee boolit? I have pushed my similar mold up to 1650 without leading, but it's probably no better than 2 or 3 MOA at that speed.
Forum: Cast Boolits
This is really how I feel. I don't buy any molds that are not suitable for actual serious use, so everything has a defense/hunting grade profile, meplat, etc. The ammo I plink with is the ammo I...
So far I am noting a conspicuous absence of light bullets. Perhaps my experience is not unusual.

This. In my book, if you can't make the shot with a cast boolit, you shouldn't be taking the shot. The only exception would be something like prairie dog elimination with very high speed varmint...

Whether or not you save money via casting really depends on volume and whether or not you include the value of your free time. If the casting and reloading process is something you value inherently,...

I only ever view max loads as a bit flexible when using firearms that I know are much stronger than the max pressure for the cartridge in question, and even then I go carefully. In general, if I see...
I have finally gotten a chance to do some shooting with my Henry H015 now that primers are a little more available, and I'm not completely satisfied with the accuracy I'm getting out of the little...

So... I think there is a difference between what I said and what your preacher says. I asserted that NT God will not mete out punishment to individuals within a nation based on the actions of their...

I don't see any reason to believe that the New Testament God would punish individuals on the basis of the behavior of their countrymen, especially those that were long dead before the individual was...

Yeah, we definitely don't feed the birds, there's really no reason to. They're all over the place and always have plenty to eat - like our blueberries and wild black raspberries, for instance...
