I take masking tape and stick on the tube and use a magic marker to write the size on it cause I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday much less what I lubed and sized two months ago.

I think what you can comfortably shoot and enjoy is a fur piece from a max load in the Vaquero and bullet weights play a factor as well. Start with a "suggested starting load" and ease up from there....

I pan lubed until I found 2 RCBS' Lam's and I rather enjoyed it. I'm a tinkerer and I had rather pan lube than to change the lube in the RCBS. I hate changing lube so I keep one Lam set for 45's and...

I bought one of those about ten years ago and it has turned out to be my most used rifle. Everything from crows to unwanted guests in my fish pond has seen the deadly side of this accurate little...
I have 2 Kimbers, a Pro Carry in .45acp and a Micro 9 for carry. I know manufacturers don't like handloading due to hot loads etc. Glock for instance states in the manual "Reloads void warranty" and...

Yep, it's a BL-22, a high grade, engraved model. I've had one since 1972 and I love it. It's a real keeper!

I have had trouble with my .35 and recoil moving the scope back but it still shoots under 2" @ 100 yds. I'm hesitant to tighten the rings any more due to pinching the tube and locking the variable...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I recently read in Shooting Times magazine that you can make 35 Whelen cases by sizing up the case mouth on 30-06's. It sounded simple.

I fell for a Kimber Micro 9 with crimson trace grips and it became my ccw immediately. Very accurate when I do my part and really fun to shoot
Apparently you don't get the service that's afforded to Jerry Michulek. What a ripoff, he gets them for free and you have to pay for yours. Sorry, I'm being sarcastic and I sympathize with you 100%....
I also pour crappie jigs in 1/32 & 1/16 oz using pure lead only. I use a hot plate to heat the mold and lay my hooks out in rows of 4 or 5 depending on mold and I sometimes keep a torch burning...

I would send it back to Lee. .001 is doable but .004 is not easy to keep round.

What's the old adage, "Neither a lender nor a borrower be"? I would hate to have to live by that.
After slugging my 336 I went with a Lee 309-150F. I lube with Carnuba Red, sizing to .309 and fit a Gas Check on it and accuracy is good at 100 yds. Around 2" is the extreme spread using 3031 powder.

My heart goes out to you. It's like losing a family member, 'cause they are family.
I bought the first 22-250 sold in my county in '64, I believe and started reloading then using H380 with Hornady 53 gr match hollow points. I too found the ball powders to spike in summer weather and...

I just picked up a Taurus pt111 millennium that touts the long pull trigger on the first shot and single action feeling trigger on subsequent shots. I am never sure what I'll get when I pull down but...

Thanks for sharing. The venerable old 35 lever with a 35-200 RF is potent medicine. Can't go wrong with 30-30 either.

The 35-200 FN RCBS GC mold worked great in my 336. It fits the chamber great and is as accurate as I can shoot it. Great mold!
