Thanx for all the input. I'll still use gasoline for regular use. The propane will be used for hurricanes. I won't have to keep alot of gasoline on hand all the time now. Propane easier to store...

I just added a tri-fuel system (gasoline, propane, natural gas) to my Lincoln GTX250 welder. I use it as a hurricane generator more than a welder these days. My question is does anybody know if the...

I compare the SAECO with my cabin tree and it's very close. Do you have anyone nearby with another BHN tester?

Star Machine works probably has them. Bruce Williams StarMachineWorks.com

Found this in a corner of a storage building owned by a serious reloader and caster. I can't find anything on line for the company and model number on the data plate. Can anyone identify it?...

magnets. one for each size

Finished a batch of 158 grain plated and started the 168 grain PC'd. Not bad for a late 30's vintage Star.

JRD, your post hit a chord in my heart. I'm up there in years too. I treasure the time spent with grand kids and sons in law (3 daughters) casting, reloading and shooting. You are doing it right....

thank you.

Can anyone tell me what type of recoil spring guide came on the pistol originally? My choices are standard like all govt models or an extended rod, two part, blued. Or any other kind?

I would also like to see it, but only admin can weigh the work versus the benefit. Though the mods may get a raise out of it. (meant to be funny)

IMO a star is faster than the lee. A star with a bullet feeder is much faster but time is taken to tube the bullets.

I have the same problem sometimes. I just gave up.

My hunting is in Louisiana and Michigan. I don't need a magnum level cartridge. I like large lead moving at comfortable velocites. The 45 Raptor is the most interesting as I load 480 Ruger. I had...

I've got a Ruger #1 that the previous owner has made into a heavy barrel 204 Ruger benchrest? gun. I'm not a fan of the 204 and prefer a bore 35 or over. I'm thinking of something straight wall in...

What MOS taught you that?
Lots of good discussion but the original post smells.

I just used shipmygun.com for a couple handguns. It's easy if the ffl is on their list.

While cleaning some sizing dies I noticed the surface of the center rod was concave on some of them. I've been using them for years but this is the first time I noticed. Is that a design feature? ...

I built a small shelf and put one 10 lb Lee pot above another 10 lb Lee pot. Both have their own PID. Works great. Copied another's on this forum.

IMO that's a fair price for the rifle alone. 375 is great cartridge with cast.
