HOLY SKITTLES, BATMAN!!!!

It came in today. Heavy. The thing is huge. The rods that make the stand are 5/8" diameter. the skirt is about 14 guage. Built like the proverbial outhouse. The...

Thanks for your insight and help, folks.

I ordered the second burner on the list. It looks like a beast. It will probably last for many a session and be really useful at the campsite.

As...

I've been looking around for a new burner that won't take me forever to melt a 75 to 100 pound pot of lead. My old setup was really pathetic, a old coleman camp stove, camp gas. It worked, but...

BTw, there are color differences between the brass. This indicates a different alloy of the brass. Most cartridge brass is listed as 70% copper, 30% zink. Just changing the alloy a little, to 65%...

Amerc brass is known for problems with the primer pocket. They are a bit loose. Of the 50 or so that I have found (thank GOD only 50) many of the primers are mising, blown out or have huge holes...

I should add a observance.

Each manufacturer and brand has it's own special things that identify it somehow, either in color, the way it is stamped, fine lines on it from the drawing process,...

I realized today, While sorting 45 ACP brass by headstamp, that I was in a unique position to determine the variance of weights between some of the different makers of brass. I just got done...

Thanks for all the input folks.

It seems that I have pretty much what I need in my M66, or my M686. Carry some 357 mag loads, and some light 38 cast wadcutters or semiwads for the small...

BTW how is something like the 45LC with a light load on small game? Is there anything left to eat?

Thanks for the GREAT replies, folks!

The concept is to have a rifle/handgun combination for protection when camping/packing in northern PA, New York, and points north. Nailing a rabbit for...

Well, I've been thinking of getting myself a brace of revolvers to go along with my 2 Marlin 336 in 35 Rem.

I'm kinda torn between 44 mag or 45 long colt.

I already have 2 1894's in 38/357...

Update:


My order goes in tomorrow!

The GMC 9X49 will be on the last leg of it's long journey from Tiawan.

Finally I will have a semi-decent mill to do things with. I've waited for a lot...

if it ain't too much brass, then Tarn-X will make it look good no matter what.

Thanks for the info everyone.

An update:


Well, I did go to Grizzly, and I learned a few things.
Comparing a Chinese vs Tiawan machine side to side for fit, finish, and value, the Tiawan...

Try steel strapping. Some of them, especially the blue ones are spring treated. Might bee too thick though.

Well, I have moved everything from my old gunsmithing shop into my garage at home. Ecept the Metal lathe and the large Fort Knox safe. My Mother (80 yrs old) died earlier this year, and I had my...

I agree to get separate units if at all possible.
I have 2 lathes(12X36 and a 7X12) and a bridgport clone mill. Absoulutely love them for gun work. But they did take a bit of work to get them...

Heck, I'll ressurect this thread and chimne in.

revolver favorites are the 357/38 followed by the 44 mag.

Semi auto is the 45 acp and the 9mm.

I shoot a lot of 22, but the dang things are so...

Brian Enos sells Dillon.

He does it at the Dillon price but does not charge shippingfor orders over $400. Your 550B alone would be more than that.

Thanks for the info folks. I guess the 650 is on the table after all. Now I hae to do is peruse all the Hornady vs Dillon threads. It sure looks like there is a lot of them...

I have a Dillon 550b, and a Hornady 366 shotshell loader. I like the 550B for many things, but the manual indexing has been getting to be a pain when loading 2000 or more rounds at a shot.

Working GREAT!

First one that I really had that was my own was a S&W model 27 .357.

I can never forget. It was 1974, and I slept in late on my 16th birthday (summertime). My Mom came in and poked me a...
