I don’t know where you live, but those big Asian hornets are now in the far Northwest part of the country.

And if you live in the South, it might be a cicada killer - those will not bother a...

Spring is over. We hit 97 yesterday; it will be like this until September - unless a tropical storm wanders in from the Gulf.

As one of our old weathermen was fond of saying, “Hot and dusty…”

Hi James…we all get by with a little help from our friends (was that a song?).

Very nice cloth laminate can be made from old Levis. Glue, clamp, cure and cut to size…

Micarta makes a good handle and is almost indestructible. A lot of people also wrap handles in paracord using interesting patterns then seal with hard epoxy. I generally used mesquite or osage wood...

I doubt a 2016 car will have a clogged catalytic converter. Maybe if it was 20 years old and you were running leaded fuel.

On the other hand…

If there’s a recall, drive it around for a day or...

I have some Federal 44 mag brass that dates to 1977, when I bought my first Ruger Super Blackhawk. I lost a few pieces (less than 5) to poor collection methods, but have never split one of those...

Steel will spark against something like flint because small fragments are "burned" off the surface by the rock striking the surface. The bullet is doing the same thing - I suspect if...

There are quite a few 50-70 rifles on Gunbroker right now - one of the Remington rolling blocks looks nice.

Mine is either Winchester or R-P - I have zero Starline brass in 45 Colt (and probably no need to buy any in the future).

They will probably shoot low. I tried some of those from Matt's in my Ruger Old Model 45 with 7-1/2" barrel and ran out of elevation adjustment. However, it might not be as noticeable from a...

A buddy of mine owns one and hunts with it regularly. He uses a 265 gr JSP, but I'm not sure of the powder or charge weight. I'll ask and post the data if he's willing to share with me. ...

Haven't tried this but I would likely stack a bunch of boolits in a biscuit pan, fill it with water until the bearing surfaces were covered, then hit each one with a propane torch. Heat the first...

A friend of mine owned a .40 with a GM barrel, while I had a .45 ball shooter. I used 70 grs FFFg in my rifle and he used 60 grs FFFg in his .40. Both shot comparably and would stay on a playing...

I use a brass piston in an aluminum housing and have never seen any swelling or distortion. It’s difficult to see how a piece of steel pipe would be affected but stranger things have happened, I...

With access to a lathe, one could turn any size capsule from plastic rod and also make caps. Most folks don’t shoot huge amounts of small shotloads so the production time would be minimal.

I load #4 for my son to use on snakes and varmints. IIRC, a standard shell takes 15 pellets.

CLR works well, especially with agitation. The process needs to be “killed” with baking soda and the bare metal must be protected with some sort of barrier.

I used to produce thousands of small...

I remember it was a plain round barrel but I didn't pay much attention to how it was mounted - this was over 40 years ago when we were shooting that rifle.

It might have been a clamp-on mount for...

That's the guy - I recalled he was killed by the cobra but apparently not. Maybe all that snake venom helped him live to be 100!

People can build up tolerance to snake bites - it's just that most people don't get bitten more than once. I had a blue heeler dog which I know for a fact was bitten four times in the course of her...

A buddy of mine had one of those Tasco scopes mounted on a model 700 bolt gun in .308. We used to shoot varmints with milsurp ammo - lots of fun!

IMHO, only reason to kill a snake is if it’s venomous or threatening the poultry. Therefore, a person only needs to identify the dangerous ones in your area. We have all four basic species here,...

One of my godsons went through the Colorado school about 12 years ago. He graduated with multiple projects that he brought home to finish, but he hasn’t used the training to any great extent and is...

You might try filling the case with uncrushed rice then paint the top layer with nail polish to glue it down. A light coat of Elmers white glue may work, too.

Cool rig - I just learned something. You can eat the big ones, the flesh is fine in a filet.
