I was kinda thinking about the William Tell Overture as the BP was settling in the case, I would be able to sit back and have thoughts of Roy, Trigger, and Tonto.

I want to thank each of you for your input on my purchase of the air rifle. I know that it's in great condition as each rifle was checked by the Army Major in charge of the unit. He advised me that...

I just purchased this 177 cal rifle from a surplus sale by an ARMY ROTC program. I know nothing about them and my air rifle knowledge stops at the Silver Streak pump that I purchased in the 70s. This...

That posting came from Glenn Fryxell and Ron Applegate's book titled "From Ingot To Target". It's posted in the sticky section and is offered for free to all forum members. It's a must-read for...

Well, I hate to hear your story as the 41 mag has been a favorite of mine since it's inception. My first was the Ruger 41 which I purchased at a local gun show. None of my friends had even heard of...

This is a good example of why they say the English language is difficult to learn.

I attended several Armorers schools while being the Firearms Instructor for the EBR Sheriff's Office and helping with the BRPD as we shared a range. I went to 4-5 S&W schools, Ruger, Sig, Glock,...

I met Bill Jordan twice back in the 70's in Baton Rouge, the first time was at a local gun store that had him there shooting those candy wafers. The same act that is posted above and when I shook...

I've been using the SS media for several years now and it's the best thing I've ever used in my 50 years of loading. There is a slight learning curve with the SS but it's nothing that any loader...

I don't intend to get into a argument with any member on this forum but for a fellow member to say that I don't know how to use my equipment and that's the reason for problems with the Lee pot is ...

Yes, that is the bleed hole. When cleaning or changing lubes you unscrew this screw and use a hair dryer or heat gun to melt the lube and this hole makes it easier to clean it all out.
Every person...

Sometimes life's little things are the best way, it's a great joy to take a few things and mix them together and see it work. This not only gives a person pleasure but lets them know that when all...

The first thing I would tell you is to change your powder charge, not to 1F as my friend Don suggested but to a half and half mix of 2F and 3F. My mix for my 12 ga loads is 1lb of each mixed by hand...

The 45 Colt load was 40 grains of BP with the 250 gr. bullet, it was down loaded by the military with the 28 gr. loading to give easier firing.

I'm sorry that it took so long for me to answer this posting. I failed to look back and my feeble mind forgot. I guess I should of had a follow request in.
I've owned several of the Rossi rifles as...

I voted for a favorite of mine since I first fired the caliber, the 44wcf. If you shoot the cartridge you can't help falling in love with it, it's the cartridge that was used in the Winchester rifle...

Black powder did not cause the pitting in your bbl, it was improper care after it was shot. There are thousands of guns from the BP ammo era that have bores that are the same as the day they were...

I attended my first S&W School at the very same time period you stated, my class was in April with John Contro and Steve Murray. I also was at the FBI Academy with Ron Travis as the lead instructor....

Jay, I was a Cop for 16 yrs. and attended the FBI Firearms Instructor school where shooting liability was discussed in many classes. I also attended LSU's Criminal Institute and many other like...

I attended 5 S&W schools, 2 in Springfield each being a week long and 3 in Baton Rouge at the State Police Academy. Who were your instructors when you attended and what Police Department did you work...

I don't know of too many places that are hotter than it is during our Louisiana Summers. I use Carnuba Flakes added to my standard homemade lube. It works wonders and helps keep my gun barrels much...

The Biggest mistake made with the Cabine Tree is when testing soft lead. Most new users keep turning after making that first complete turn and it gives them a false reading. That is the reason that...

I gave up on finding ww lead over 6 years ago as most all of the tire shops in the Baton Rouge area had their companies join a recycle agreement. The animal protectors had a hand in the deal as too...

I can't remember the name of the company that made them but when I was employed in a gun store in the early 70's we sold 12 ga shells for chasing birds from crops. The shell was a air burst and it...

I will have to disagree with you on the posting of yours on the max limit of lube on cast bullets is 2200 fps and also that the practical homemade lube is a mix of cooking oil and beeswax. Without...
