Here in north Alabama and middle Tennessee, Spring is more of a concept than an actual event. We have 3 days of cool weather then Summer hits and sticks around until the 2nd week of November. For...

I'm going to move within a year to the farm where we are trying to build a house. I need to start taking a bucket or two of wheel weights each time I go on my regular trips up there. I've got a...

As that old poem I was forced to read somewhere in school stated:
"In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of a NEW RIFLE."

Well, that's the way I remember it anyway. :) ...

I grew up on a farm so all my early work didn't pay anything. Got to eat lots of good beef though since we raised angus cattle!

I see a lot of the inflation calculators and they seem to be...

Surely you jest?! Yeah, you can shoot cast in a 22-250 but that's like powering a Corvette with a single cylinder Briggs & Stratton engine.

Just goes to show that you have to be observant about everything when reloading and that no matter who you are nor how careful you are, you may miss something sooner or later.

The 1st mold I bought for 45ACP was also the Lee 452-228-1R (It's not a tumble lube design). My experience was like gwpercle's. Both my 1911's wouldn't feed the darned thing in spite of it...

So this is for the whole lot? No bids on individual books?

The part where you still have to size each bullet after PC is what makes me think what's the point for shooters who already have a full setup for lube and sizing the traditional way. Viewed from...

32-20 data is in both the Cowboy and Rifle load sections. Power Pistol powder is listed only for Cowboy loads.

I just looked in Load Data, which is a sponsor of this site, and they don't...

I can vouch for how a simple light bulb's efficiency at heating a wellhouse. I have a wellhouse in my yard that is maybe 5ft x 5ft and 3 or 4 feet tall. I use two 60 or 70 watt bulbs in it during...

If a 16-gauge double is scaled down from a 12-gauge gun so that it is smaller and lighter, it would be a good thing. I have one of the CZ Ringnecks (out of production now) in 12 gauge and while I...

You can read the whole story of the two lions from Colonel Patterson's book, "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo". It's a very short book but tells how a railroad engineer ended up hunting the lions. The...

The fact that you don't get any smoke with PC is enough to make me steer clear of it. :) I love the smoke especially from my single action revolvers. But then I only shoot outdoors on my farm.

I bought a Chipmunk single shot rifle for my daughter in about 2006 or 2007. We shot a lot of Shorts in it because of how quiet they were. Even at that time they were costing me $35 a brick...

Rotometal has the very convenient Tin wire pieces that weigh about 1/2 ounce each for $29.99/lb. If you order $100 you get free shipping. I anticipated bad times a few years back and bought a...

I shot a LOT of blackbirds for years since we had a year round roost right across the road from our house so I got to do a lot of load testing. My load for a long time was 18 grains Red Dot and 1...

I got tested about a year ago. My doctor looked at me kind of funny when I requested a lead test be added to my blood tests so I told her I was a shooter and cast my own lead bullets. Don't recall...

I wonder how many game departments would recognize a powder coated bullet as being lead underneath the pretty outer coating? Most hunters/game wardens have no idea what portion of the cartridge...

I would guess the problem being that particular batch of brass. Hard to believe a factory chamber could be oversized enough to commonly split any brass fired in it.

Whether the anti-gun looneys are thinking this through with a final objective of a total ban on all lead bullets for any purpose or not, doing it one step at a time and starting with hunters 1st will...

When you get bullets that don't drop immediately upon opening the handles NEVER hit the mold cavities directly. Instead tap lightly on the hinge bolt. Hitting the cavities directly will soon...

I'm right there with you on focusing the majority of my casting to more pleasant weather. Although Too Cold rarely happens for me as I sometimes think I must have been predestined to be a polar...

I enjoyed that thoroughly! I never imagined a mine being so large as those shown. Glad they included the look at the end showing how much raw materials are taken from the ground to produce one...

Alabama doesn't send reminders either. I let mine expire a few weeks before noticing it. I was still able to renew on-line and got a text a few days later saying it was ready to pick up. Very...
