I have fantasized about having a rook rifle built using a 32 H&R Mag with slow twist rifling for round ball, perhaps a 48 twist or maybe even slower. This should provide killing power roughly...

Place a single primer in a cast iron skillet, cover the skillet with a properly fitting, heavy cast iron lid. Set on stove and heat it up until you hear the primer pop. You now have a de-activated...

Not sure about that story, but a young Indian girl named Bella Twin killed what was at the time the world record inland grizzly bear back in the 1950's. Her weapon: a single-shot 22 rifle using...

Try using a 32 H&R Mag carbide die. No lube needed.

Way back in the foggy reaches of my caffeine crazed memory banks, I recall an article in Guns & Ammo(?) by Ross Seyfried (I think). Very foggy, so I'm not going to be too adamant.

Short story:...

Inside 100 yards the 357 doesn't give up much compared with a 30-30 as far as the deer can tell. Myself, my wife, and my daughter have used the 357 for many years as the primary deer rifle; it's the...

A buddy has a Rossi single shot 45 LC/410 chamber. Factory 45 ammo wouldn't even make a decent shotgun pattern. The chamber LONG and loose. We tried several bullets with no improvement, finally tried...

Just got done drilling and tapping the scope mount holes, all went well. I am now the proud possessor of a genuine Scout/Squirrel Rifle (or is that Squirrelly Scout Rifle) ? :-D

Haven't shot it...

I have always favored peep sights; however, I have experienced pulling up to shoot a deer and couldn't see through the peep due to the drop of water residing therein. By the time I cleared the sight,...

The problem is waiting two years and can't remember where the other dies are after Mama cleaned up.

Naw, the ol' Rochchucker does most of what I need just fine, thanks.

That's per inch of THICKNESS, not length. Is old "rule of thumb", reality varies greatly with local climate.

Give it adequate time and it will work nicely.
Have fun,
Joe

Yup, 10 minutes IF YOU PRACTICE CHANGING REGULARLY! If not, plan on 45 minutes or more just trying to remember how it's done.

I found I didn't use mine enough to really warrant it, maybe someday...

I've wanted a Lee hand press for a while now; with all the good comments here I ordered one and it arrived from Modway yesterday. Can't wait to try it out.

The tap & drill are in the mail (along with a few other goodies from Midway)

We use babbit hammers in the sawmill business, I've made many myself. We use common steel pipe of whatever diameter and length desired , split it in half lengthwise with a hacksaw. Use hose clamps to...

My Dad bought a 5mm Remington when I was a kid, that was one sweet rifle. Then Remington decided to quit making ammo. I still do not buy Remington guns to this day.

Still have a box of ammo, Dad...

I really liked the idea of the 7-30 Waters when it came out but have never been a 94 fan. I had a Savage 99 re-barreled with a Douglas Premium chambered for 7-30. Have always used the Speer 145 gr...

Ahhh..... so it looks like I already have #8's then. Thanks for the link.

This rifle recoils about like a 22 Mag; not too heavy. It has probably less than 100 rounds through it and if it gets...

Thanks,
I figured it was either a #6 or #8 but got lost trying to Google it :confused:

I plan to put a Weaver base on an old 32 cal CVA Squirrel Rifle to mount a long eye relief scope (Old Timers Disease). Purchased the base complete with screws, dunno what tap and drill to buy. Screws...

OK! OK! I just signed up today, been lurking for a while. Been casting for 25 years but need to learn more. Maybe I'll have a few tidbits to add but it doesn't seem likely at this time.
