    Thanks for the heads up, I just ordered 3,000, plus a roll of tape to get me over the $150 threshold.

    Yup, I've placed a couple orders there and got my stuff in about 10 days. That capper works very well, much better than the Ted Cash capper I previously used.

    I've tried hemp tow in my 20 gauge Jackie Brown canoe gun, but not enough to decide whether it's worth pursuing. Note that tow used as a wad will smolder if unlubed and can ignite wildfires. (I tried...

    A difference of 0.5" at 50 yard or even a couple inches at 100 yards is not relevant for hunting big game. I would definitely use the bullet with the flat meplat because it has greater wounding...

    I generally use 3Fg in my .50s but 2Fg will work fine as well, with less velocity and more fouling per equivalent volumetric charge.

    Anything coarser than 2Fg will be safe but unlikely to provide...

    If you load it to .44-40 ballistics it will be pleasant to shoot. E.g., a 200 - 220 grain bullet at 1200 - 1300 FPS.

    They are really fun to shoot in a Remington 550-1 semiauto rifle. The 550-1 has a Williams floating chamber, so it functions with shorts, longs, or long rifles. Mine will work with the CBs as long as...

    I have shot thousands of rounds from PPU, including close to 1K of .30 Mauser. I've never had an issue, but of course every manufacturer sometimes puts out defective rounds.
