I've got a bunch of old M.T. powder cans in my shed that I would LOVE to give to anyone who wants them but I can't believe anyone would be crazy enough to pay the shipping costs. "Chesterfield's...
Great subject Guys. I've been happy with the original Lee priming tool since it's inception. I can't remember why, but I tried the Hornady tool when they tried to jump on the bandwagon years ago. It...

I have found a quantity of 9.3x74R, both new and once fired. In blowing out the brass, will there be a significant difference in one from the other? Will the method used be of importance? As you can...

I'd like to make some FL cases for this old gal. All my research points to the 5in1 blank case as having the best fit. Starline would be happy to sell me some if I'd buy a thousand of them. Not in...
Trooperdan should clean out his PM's. He can find my message in the 310 swap que.

This little beauty caught my eye at a recent gun show & came home. Research in GOTW found it in both the rifle and shotgun categories.
Now I've got to make some rounds to try it out. I have 44.40...
I, also, have a Lyman 3118 which I use for my Rug/Bisley/single Six, and Colt NP, 32 S&W. My crazy desire to load them on a tong tool has started this scramble and now I seem to be stuck. Oh well,...
Did Ideal or Lyman ever catalog a boolet with the Winchester profile or where do we find a print that would picture such a boolet profile? Seems that a longer (heavier) boolet could compress the...
Well, the Augusta GS has come and gone. It was a great show, but was mostly a duplicate of the Lincoln show. The vendor who said he would bring his box of Ly-310 tools was not there. No tempting...
Since the Winchester mold was not included, that break in solution was not available. Although there is a very few rust spots on the grips, the general finish is amazingly clean. My GO TOO lube is...
