I would have gave $50 for it…I’m a lefty but shoot right handed!

I contacted a YouTuber that is a Ben Pearson Colt fanatic to help me figure out the date. Things weren’t adding up for me because the logo it shows with the arrow through the name it was made in...

I like the lee hardness tester myself. Think it was around $60

I remember finding that video when I was restoring my Winchester 1917. Watching them smack stuff with those big hammers reminds me of the cartoon when they were smacking ACME bombs with hammers and...

Pure is shiny chrome. Frosted I get from COWW alloy. You have some other alloy in ignots. I’m sure it’s a lot harder alloy than pure lead as well. Do you own a harness tester to check?

I’ve always used Hornady coppers for my 44 mags in 35 rems. I tried plain base aluminum GCs from Sage recently. I was initially disappointed in gos they looked like uneven bottle caps. They seated...

I tried a few of the 10mm HPs on some nuisance raccoon and possum yesterday. I tried the same 11 BH, 16 to 1 alloy HP on the raccoon and I tried at 12.5 BH consisting of 50/50 COWW and pure with 2%...

Gave it a quick wipe down with some cleaner and a quick coat of tru oil over the existing finish. Looking good enough to me not to have to do a complete sand job. The limbs cleanup real nice with a...

No one apparently had the money to buy a Bear back in the day because all I have ran into are Ben persons and a browning so far…knock in wood.

I already put a new bow string on it and been shooting it. I figured it’s never gonna match either. Instead of filling it in I think I’m think just gonna get some threaded brass inserts “like a...

I shot a couple of nuisance raccoons and possum today with my cast 10 mm hollow points. They sure didn’t make a hole like that exit on your hog! A bullet diameter hole in and a little bit bigger on...

Lightning struck 3 times!!! I stopped in the Salvation Army and I almost wasn’t going today on the way back from checking my nuisance animal traps. There was a Ben Pearson Colt 42 pound recurve...

Yeah, I have some of the 200 grain XTPs. I just haven’t tried them yet. Looks like you can push those things up to 1900 ft./s plus in a rifle. I would think the shock value is way better then a heavy...

…and those XTP’s will probably do a better job. I’ve shot many of things with the 300 and 240 grainers. They are pretty violent.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Yeah, I think I mixed up about 10 pounds of it to try maybe not even that much. I don’t remember. it was two years ago when I did it I’m sure I can replicate it pretty easy. I also casted up some in...

I haven’t checked my other trail camera that I had out all winter and pulled in April. Even if I don’t have sign I’ll put my traps out. After having at least two on camera last fall the last time I...

Sweet!… make sure to post pics of how big of a hole it makes and how far ran! I love the autopsy posts!!! Get em!!! When I first started here back in 17 there was a guy from down under that used to...

Here’s the other one that I recovered that was shot into a hard gravel backstop at approx 17 yards. This rock hard gravel backstop is littered with nothing but pistol bullets that didn’t penetrate...

I’ve had a few raccoons and possums that keep breaking into my shed, ripping stuff apart, and crapping every where so I threw up a few nuisance traps yesterday and got rid of two possum and a raccoon...

Not familiar with them, do you know how soft the alloy is? I have some devastator casted up and loaded at 1600 ft./s at 7.5 BH haven’t sunk them into a deer yet. I’ve tried a lot harder alloys in my...

I bet a couple of the cheap plastic stocks were pretty good luck. I’m sure the cheap plastic they use in them are still flimsy, but my groups improved quite a bit. I had a savage 220 I think was the...

I think I put a “some kind” of their kit in my 7744 if I remember. I still worked some magic with it besides the kit. Seems to do wonders…almost too light!

Makes sense cause I didn’t know I had a rabbit population until I started getting bobcats on camera. I figured they’re down hunting them in my tall grass where I keep getting them on camera....
