I regularly think about my uncle Francis, whom I never met, who is buried in Holland. The Dutch people don't forget.

I obtained a Lee Load All at an estate sale, which worked perfectly for me in 12 ga. Then after I bought a 20 ga double I decided to get the conversion kit for my Load All. Since this was my first...

In my experience, very hot lead will turn colors, including purple. When added to the casting pot for use the boolits come out looking normal.

The old Army Navy surplus stores had all kinds of great stuff. I remember seeing barrels full of bayonets. They were so common, some people bought them to cut down into usable knives.

Basically, I don't own a gun I can't shoot cast boolits in. I have put perhaps two boxes of white box Win factory ammo through my Romanian Tok, and probably several thousand cast loads. I had to...

Back when it was still available, I obtained two 8 lb. jugs of Promo, and still have about ten pounds. Also, picked up two one lb. cans of Herco while searching for a replacement for Unique.

Here is another 45 ACP fan. I was at the just-for-fun pistol league yesterday with my Star PD, and had great fun with a box of my handloads. Lyman 200 gr over Bullseye. Even in my lightweight gun...

The first load I ever tried in the lowly 25 ACP was with Unique. I saw no need to change it until I ran out.

I love Unique (when I can find it) but it does work best in fairly high pressure loads. When small charge weights are used, even if they work, it leaves a lot of unburned residue behind. I really...

Glad to see you. I always enjoyed reading your pithy wisdom.

Wayne

PS: I just looked up "pithy" to make sure I wasn't using a bad word.

In a 9x19 semi-auto pressure is your friend, up to +P loads. You might try weighing a box of loads at book max charge weight, and see how they work in your guns.

At any rate, I would weight...

Yesterday after my ten year-old granddaughter and I were done with her homework, she asked if she could sometime shoot one of my guns. We went in the basement and I set up my "range" next to the...

Praise God for your surgeon's skill and wisdom. God be with you.

I have also been looking for a substitute for Alliant Unique. So far I have been able to use Herco and Accurate #5 in my pistol loads. The Accurate #5 has worked very well so far in 7.62x25...

At age seventy-one I am still buying cheap guns for which I have to spend a fortune on reloading and casting equipment. I am hopeful that in the event of my demise, one of our children will assist...

My optometrist told me I had small blood clots in the back of my eyeball, and sent me to my PC doc. After that I started collecting doctors; I'm up to seven now, including the dentist. A couple of...

Father God, bless and heal this young man. Amen

She has certainly learned compassion and empathy from you. Blessings on her career.

Wayne

God's blessings on you JD. I always appreciated your thoughtful and well-written posts here. It looks like you have a lot of friends.

As a sometime black powder shooter, I am also on the lookout for pure lead. It really has more value for those who shoot muzzle loaders, or alternatively lead slugs in shotguns (and buckshot.)

I have hand sorted many five gallon buckets just like what you describe. At first I used the dykes to nip them, but after a while I could pretty much tell by the brand name markings, and appearance....

Coffee and reloading makes life worth living.

Father, we pray for healing for Augercreek, and ask your blessings upon him, and all who love him. Grant them all Your peace. Amen

When my employer transferred me to a new job at Oak Ridge TN working on the nuclear cleanup program, I went first, and left my family to take care of moving our belongings later. I packed up my...

I love his instructional videos. He can be condescending, but I still like him a lot. I am a fellow vet, and he seems like the sergeant I would want to work for. I was sad to hear of his health...
