I cast in a spare room in my basement and took a fan assy from a large gas space heater and mounted in a window with a hood and that sucker will slam the doors and put out a match and I still use a...

These are too flexible for a handle to be of much use. Have to grip them pretty good and shove them down /up the pipe....You order the rod with what ever threaded brass end you want .Mine are 10/32...

Track of the wolf has a good assortment of Delrin flexible rods with attachments and any adapter you might need. I have been using one[5 years ] exclusively in my Sharps as one sight I had before...

I made an aluminum bracket that slips into the hose clamp I have put around the pot to support a bracket for my ladle. The thermocouple can be lifted right out or swung out of the way...

I was gifted some old ammunition for my 44-40 by a friend [24 pcs.]. The cases are Dominion Cartridge Co and appear to be original. They have a copper jacket and flat soft nosed bullet. I fired one...

I have been thinking of going to the Lyman 457-643 400 gr bullet for hunting deer and possibly elk.Has anyone had experience with this bullet in a 45-70 .A knowledgeable shooter I know recommended...

My boss fished the Queen Charlottes [oh sorry Haida Gwaii ] for years and always had a 410 using slugs to dispatch a large halibut .I made a harpoon but unfortunately haven't caught one large enough...

You are not alone with this problem. I have a Berme REX C-100 which I can not get to read in Fahrenheit for my lead pot. I can not get it to read correctly either. I put the thermocouple in boiling...

There is coconut oil in a lube which has been very working well for me. The recipe was given to me by several fellows who have used it a lot. Just remember it as 3-1-1-1

I haven't had a crack at an elk with my Sharps as yet but last year a whitetail fell to a 519 gr 457125 of 20:1 and was a pass through. However it was less than 50 yds. I hit it high in the back and...

I am curious to know what alloy you are using as well to drop a 535 gr bullet [guessing pure lead]. My 457125 drops a 519-520 gr bullet at 20:1.A pure lead 457125 drops a 532 gr bullet for me.... I...

On another note my Pedersoli breaks a firing pin every 3 years or so. I will have to check my log books to see if there is a pattern for how many rounds may have gone through the rifle. I thought...

That is the insert I have been using and it helps a lot with my eyesight putting the white framed inside the black posts ...If I run into black silhouettes I will be in big trouble I fear ....

On my rifle I was pretty well maxed out for 500 M shots with the mid range sight . You had to loosen the eye cup for both windage and elevation adjustments and besides being limited I found those...

I'm thinking popgun is talking about doubling up the front sight insert as the fine wire crosshair was too difficult to see. Rather than just changing it out or possibly creating something of his...

I learned the hard way about adjustable apertures during a match. I was/am new to the long range stuff but did have the Hadley type eye cup on my MVA sight. I struggled with the pigs complaining...

When I got the bug I opted for a Pedersoli 1874 Billy's sharps. Budget was the main factor and the fact besides which end was which I didn't know anything about them other than they caught my eye at...

I am going to guess it may be a "Do It Yourselfer ".It appears somewhat overbuilt .Are there any "commercial "type markings or stamps on it anywhere ????
The guy who fabricated this unit probably...

Good story and good deer to boot. I had a pal who said any deer with a bow was a good deer and I think it goes the same for a PRB also . I have been using 100 gr of 2f but find a lot of fouling as it...

Diving in late on this thread but my experience has been if the meat has had a few days to hang or be kept cool it is somewhat firmer and easier to process.In my bachelor days I could stuff a bunch...
