My '06 Really likes those Hornaday 165 spire points, and I have shot more critters than I'd care to admit with them. Deer, Antelope, Elk (Rocky Mtn and Roosevelt) Domestic Cattle and...
This one didn't involve reloading, but it did involve black powder. It was several years ago, so the shame (and more importantly the statute of limitations) has worn off.
The first house I...
I have decapped hundreds of live primers without a problem, probably because I never thought about it. now that I know, I'm going to have to kill them first. My luck won't extend to deliberately...
My first firearms related "incedent" was when my Dad bought my brother an I "Davy Crockett" rifles. they were scaled down toy muzzle loaders that fired cork balls fired by those red tape type caps....
How'd this turn out? Sounded interesting

The Cor-Bon 165 gr HP's open up pretty good, but I have found penetration to suffer. Not to start up the old 45 VS 9mm thing, but a 9mm needs to expand just to make the hole the 45 starts with. I...
Are you looking to reload these cartridges, or buy new? Not sure form your post. I once owned a 35 Win. in a 95 but never fired it, just another wasted chance.

Paraphrased from Lyman's cast bullet handbook p. 49
Arsenic is not an impurity. Arsenic is every bit as important to bullet alloys as antimony and tin, especially where hardness is concerned.

We didn't catch a single fish!!!! First time I have been "Skunked" on Sturgeon. big change in the weather probably put them off the bite. Had a great day with the boys though. The Columbia is...
Turkey season opens here on the 15th. I have a tag and a new shotgun (Rem 870 black synthetic stock 3") that I haven't even shot yet. Going to pattern it this weekend. I sold my 10 gauge, was...
Toney, you catching any "Sandys" yet? Been thinking of taking the kids Sturgeon fishing this weekend myself. Turkey season opens here on the 15th, bout the same time the mushrooms start to pop out...
I believe I have read somewhere that light effects powder. For long time storage, how about painting some canning jars with black paint (on the outside) and vacuum sealing the jars. I use a vacuum...
Was out hunting Grouse with my son several years ago. He had a Stevens Crack shot 22 RF, and I my 12 gauge. We walked right up on a black Bear with it's head in a stump not 30 yards off. I didn't...
MT Gianni They are Starry Flounder, gooooood eating. I'm taking my Daughter up the end of May to fish Astoria again for 5 days. Will be her first real overnight away from home, fishing trip. I...
So you fire your rifle once let it cool down swab it fire it again thus cold fire in the short! Input

I neck size for my bolt guns, but levers, and semiautos get full length resized.

That would be funny, if it weren't so true.

IF you can hit a game animal in the vitals at 600 yds, that would really be something. That's twice as far as I would shoot, and 6 times farther than I plan on shooting and 12 times farther than 90%...
Daniel;
the fish in my picture is a Sturgeon. keeper one, at 47". There is a slot limit on them from 42" to 60" anything bigger or smaller, we have to throw back. I have cought them up to 13'. ...
I have some of Bullshop's sprue plate lube, (have only used it on one mold so far) but I'm going to use it on ALL of my molds as I use them. I'm impressed. There was a good thread over on the cast...
