I have a little-used 3d printer, but absolutely no interest in having a gun blow up in my face. Maybe when I can afford one of the printers that actually prints in metal... :)

Sacrilege! Burn the Unbeliever!!!

If you don't want to cast, you can also swage to get the boolits you need. If you're rich, you can even buy them...

I got into casting because...

So what kind of muzzle velocity do you get with it?

You can shoot shorts in an LR chamber, but it leaves a smoke ring at the end of the short case, and will eventually erode the chamber. I've got an 1884 model Stevens Favorite that shows signs of...

My reading says ORM-D no longer exists. The link should tell you what replaced it, but I've not had the need to ship any powder yet, so...

Once upon a time, I was writing my own book. Didn't go very far, as even I could see it was far too derivative of Star Trek. Then I found a copy of Mutineer's Moon, and he did SO much better with the...

AMEN! And despite all its other problems, that is a great and wonderful thing!

Got 'em all, read them all, except the last one to date, multiple times. :) Plus everything else he's written, except the latest in his Out of the Dark series.

I quit smoking as a teen, the day I found I could get five used paperback books for what my 3 packs of cigarettes cost each day. Won't say it's saved me any money, but I think I might be a bit ...

There is only one thing in your post that I disagree with. Bluing is corrosion. It's just a more controlled corrosion, giving a more stable corrosion product than the normal iron oxide we call...

Don't just think outside the box, throw away the box! ;)

I'd hold out for the 7x12 at least. I had a 93212 7x10 from Harbor Freight, and had a lot of problems with it. Got frustrated enough to moan about it my wife, who told me to take another class. So I...

May not work too well on soft dirt, either. I've got a 900lb cast iron drill press, and a couple of pieces of 5/8" hardware store steel round bar I use to move it around on the concrete floor, which...

https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2023/02/13/rimfire-report-neat-glimpse-30-rimfire-cartridge/ Might give you a tad bit more info. You can make anything you can imagine if you have a few tools....

.38 S&W never did have very much upmf to them. And they were originally a black powder cartridge. An old Lyman Ideal reloading handbook, #38, from 1951, had load data for the 38 S&W. Not black powder...

I had the posterior surgery on the right hip in 2009. Took about a year to recover, as they cut right through the thickest part of the gluteus maximus. That said, I still woke up from the surgery in...

**** cancer! Lady I heard about from one of my uncles, one of her sons, who got cancer back before they knew all that much about it. I've mentioned this here before, I think, but the docs told her...

Kiwi, for me, too. Including being taught to spit-shine shoes by a young (but older than I was) Marine friend several years before I enlisted in the USAF. Melt a little candle wax into the can of...

See if you can lay hands on a .269" boolit. My Lyman's #3 Says that most casters & shooters think .002" oversize is the largest you should go, so it should be safe if your barrel is reasonably...

I've got a 1903 Springfield from about 1921, and a 1943(iirc) barrel on a National Ordnance action that may have been fired in anger. None of my other firearms have taken a life that I know of, but...

You can't possibly need two Bridgeports. I couldn't possibly shoehorn one into the shop or I'd be telling you to send the spare to me!

:bigsmyl2:

IMHO, the Founders were prayerful people. I'm pretty sure they thought long and hard, and prayed on their knees long and hard, as well. The British government was levying taxes on the colonists that...

taps and dies for that size are available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Burkit-No-10-36-UNS-Machine/dp/B09ZV96LBK with those and a lathe, you can do anything...

Try a shot of contact cleaner in the various switches and battery compartment. I revived one that Bookworm gave me that way a few years ago. A can of the CRC that I used is currently about $11 plus...
