Looking to buy a Redding trim die for .40-82 Winchester.
PM me if you have one for sale.
I wanted something to use as a prop in my photos. Since I can't afford $300-$400 for the real thing I used screen captures and made up my own. A friend that owns a few genuine boxes gave me the...

No, but it makes it look table-ready and provides extra roughage. We eat with our eyes first. Their two new colors, Rhode Island Red and Leghorn White are finger-lickin' good! :bigsmyl2:

I have used a cheap yard sale air fryer until I found a Goodwill convection oven. It works just fine except it doesn't hold as many as a toaster convection oven. You do not need oil to make an air...

I recently stopped into a small mom&pop shop looking for .40-82 brass. Since they didn't have any I asked if they had .45-90 brass. They had a pile of boxes of BP loaded Remington brass that was head...

I have been seeing on the CMP forums those that ordered the Field-grade Winchesters have been waiting like me (forever). I also have been seeing that if they email them asking to be upgraded to a...

From what I have read the herd animals are not pure bison, but remnants of a beefalo herd from around 100 years ago that have since migrated into the park. We can assume the "hunt" will be very...

Battis, if you don't have a preference you can get a rifle much faster. I wanted a Winchester so with the slug of orders it's taking a while. I see lots of orders for the Springfields or H&R rifles...

I had read your pages after seeing them on sassnet. I cast my own boolits. Those that I have been using are from the Lee mold. I have since sold it and bought the Lyman but have enough from the Lee...

Yes. Using IMR-4227 I get a lot of unburned powder into the action. When I first got the rifle (used) it had a great deal of fibrous material in the action. As annoying as it is to shove cartridges...

Thanks for the help. According to Lyman, the Lightning is the Group I firearm with a weaker action so I need to keep my pressures below 13,000. The Marlin and M92 are Group II actions and can handle...

Unique and Bullseye are not available around here. I wanted 2400 but that also is not available. A few of the more modern manuals recommended IMR 4227. But, the .30 Blackout shooters like it so you...

I am doing some loading for a Colt Lightning pump action rifle copy. The round is .44-40. Several of the reloading manuals recommend IMR-4227 so I made up 30 rounds. I had issues that I have never...
