My skills are average at best. There are legions of people on Cast Boolits that have far greater skills than I do. Really I jus lucked into a beautiful rifle that had been hidden beneath a terrible...

You ought to have seen it when I first bought it. We had a local hardware store in town in the 60's and 70's that was being run by a really nice guy who had inherited it from his father, who had...

I know people think of the 16 gauge as a bird gun but I for one can tell you that the 16 Browning in my Dad's hands was a duck whacker. He could really handle that thing on anything he went after. ...

Around my area it is getting really tough to mail ammo, powder, guns, etc. You can't drop them off at a local UPS or FedEx store anymore. You have to take them to a hub and in my case, the hub is...

I have always been a fan of the 16 gauge. I have my Dad's old Browning and my Father-in-Laws single barrel. I had one of the early Remington Model 1100's in 16 gauge but was stupid enough to allow...

Sorry guys, I have to make a correction of my earlier post. I did not check the rifle before I posted and my memory is nowhere near as good as it once was. I haven't shot the rifle in over 25...

I order some from Precision just yesterday. Thanks to Shawlerbrook for the wads he sent me. Thanks to all for the suggestions. I need this add closed.

Mine would be the little Leupold Rimfire Special that I bought years ago and put on my Marlin 39a with Control mounts. james

The last time I moved was in 1971 and I vowed never to do it again and I have kept that promise to myself. I will die right where I am at and be happy to go to The Lord from here. james

Good for you. james

Rapier, I kinda miss the old days when we could spend a nice evening at the dump shooting the rats. Policemen would come around once in a while and sometimes end up shooting a little with us. It...

The first "wharf rat" I saw was in San Francisco in the fall of 1961 when I was in the Navy. He was climbing a cargo ships tie up line to the pier. I pity the cat that would have the nerve to...

After many years of using vibratory tumblers and a mixture of walnut or crushed corn cobs media and Car-Nu or other car waxes. I first bought a Frankfort arsenal wet tumbler and it leaked pretty...

Most of those rubber/plastic handles on presses were simply bicycle handles, at least the ones I have seen. james

I have never heard one legitimate reason not to use tarnished brass. Metal damage is another matter. And tarnish is not metal damage. my .02, james

I use a really fine crush walnut hulls that are called "lizard litter" that is used for putting in the case of lizards and other reptiles. It polishes really nice and won get stuck in the primer...

It may or may not have took 3 hits to do him in, but my Grandfather always told us that killing had a responsibility to it. His old saying was everything deserve to be dispatched dead immediately...

I just had my first kill of the year. A wood boring bumble bee with a Daisey BB gun. I went onto the back porch to put some trash in the trash can and there he was hovering over my wooden handrails...

I don't know about Fiocchi hulls but I am having trouble getting good crimps on both 2 1/2 and 3 inch 410 shells. I have never skived my hulls in 12 and had no need too. But I think I am going to...

marvelshooter is a straight shooter for sure. I had a need and he reach out offered to fill that need; which he did. One of the great members on this site. james:D

Close is not good enough in the tang area. I have seen more muzzleloaders with a split wrist or chipped around the tang than any other area of the stock. my experience anyway, james

Always wanted a RB Carbine but never bought one for one reason or another. Looking forward to your report on it shooting. james

Don, Actually the appeal to the little Savage was that a friend that I hunted deer with a couple of times carried one in 30-30 and I kinda liked the idea then as now. His was a 30-30. He was an old...

Well I hesitated while I gathered info on the 6400 and it sold for $500.00 to another guy. Story of my life. james

Have you tried those in a pistol/revolver? Would not those tiny flakes plate the bore with copper and zinc. Not all that sure, just curious. james
