It's living up to my expectations. I've used it with some converted Lee dies and a BT 40cal one step die, and everything has been working well. Over the weekend I'm going to make another for a...

Just thought I'd post the auto eject that I just made. I have to say I've got a sore back cause I've been patting myself excessively for the last 30 minutes or so while I was making some 325gr .500...

I considered a pipe cutter, but I'm only going down to .76. I wasn't sure if there would be enough support that far out. I may still see if I can pick up a cheap pipe cutter to try though.

I converted a set of Lee 243 dies to make bullets for my 460 Rowland today. When I made my first bullets, the 40 cal cases turned out to be too long for my 250gr pills. Got to thinking and looking...

Speaking of Amazon, the downside to moving to WA will be that anything I order from Amazon will be subject to the sales tax.
I was actually looking at Skagway AK a year or two ago, but that area...

As for weed, if I wanted that, an hour and a half and I can be in CO and get an ounce legally.

I know this might sound like sacrilege, but I haven't been interested in hunting in for probably 10 years or so now. I lived in Montana for 16 years and during that time I went out for pretty much...

Thanks for the info so far.
I was talking to an older couple who were crabbing at Pacific beach and they were saying that there is always a season up there. Be it berries or crabbing or...

Just curious if anyone has any info about the Whatcom county area. I drove up through the West coast of Washington a week or so ago and loved the place. Saw quite a few deer and there were wild...

I was in the market for one of the WorkSharp sharpeners. I borrowed a KO and an original from a couple of friends to test them out for a bit. I think both are decent, but I ended up with the KO...

I'll throw in another vote for Pat Marlin.
I haven't tried the Freechex system, but I liked being able to use my reloading press to make gas checks. I've got enough stuff that I didn't want to...

I recently bought a set of your 9mm to 40 dies second hand at an auction as part of a larger lot. Didn't need any of the rest of the lot, and I initially thought that I had been overzealous in my...

Similar to Sandy I use a various full length size dies to form. I draw down 45 ACP brass, add a 44 mag core and it equals a 335gr hp that I use in my 458 SOCOM. These were my first attempts...

I'm thinking this is exactly another reason to buy a 35 whelen.
For science!
BTW: Pat, what's the highest velocity that you've heard of your pb checks getting pushed to?

I have recently become enthralled with the 35 Whelen and am rapidly moving from "I want" to "I need." I currently have one of Pat Marlins 35cal PB check makers.

Started casting a few years ago after I won a M&P 40 at a NRA banquet. The pistol sat around for a year or so because I thought the price of 40 cal ammo was outrageous. Finally got to a point that...

I believe that for antlers with the skull plate require an interstate game tag, while sheds require nothing special. Or so a friend that collects antlers says.

I actually did look at the trade gun for the extra barrel length, but wasn't too enthused about the crescent butt. I've got a few rossi m92s and I'm not a fan of the metal on shoulder recoil,...

I don't really plan on hunting any time soon. I was able to get most of that out of my system when I was a kid in Montana. Though it is nice to have that opton (another reason to get a ml that you...
