I have the 4.25" 69 and a Ruger flat top 44 special as well. The ammo can interchange for each gun with no significant point of impact at 25 yards. I also have a model 24-3 Smith 4" that didn't have...

The question seems to be, What are you shooting that is too dirty?

The old timers hated antimony as they felt the non-symmetrical grain of the stuff could cause accelerated barrel wear. i think if you cut it with 25-50% lead you would have a really good alloy for...
I had one and traded it. Mine was a 4" Charter Arms Target, CEO of Charter says they will make no more 327's. It is a high pressure cartridge, I see throat erosion in the future if they eat heavy...
As of today TC has a new owner who was a former owner. Plans are to have a full line open in 2025 made in USA.
Find a drill bit the diameter of the HP pin and drill it into a cabinet knob. Cut it to length and or put a stop on the bit.

Take a dab of your lube and put it on a piece of aluminum foil in your shop. If it melts, you need to swap lubes. If it doesn't you're good to go. Keep your loaded ammo cool and transport it to the...

I would ask if the street tacos had asphalt in them or just concrete.

Been real happy with Costco Insurance program. I was at fault in an accident and have hit a deer and an elk in the last 15 years. you talk to real people who deal with you fairly. It might help that...

I had friends from Mexico when we lived in Idaho. Their kids fought over fresh corn tacos filled with mashed potatoes and cheese. They were really good but didn't compare to a good fish taco, IMO. I...
Lee numbers changed every few years and they never kept track of them. If it shoots well, congratulations.

Pure lead uses are muzzle loader balls, 38 wadcutters and 32 long speed loads. Far better to spend $100 on a Rotometals alloy and make several years worth of cat bullets.
If you study alot of manuals you will see cast in two lights. First is swedged which is loaded dead soft, second is for cast bullets which often have a few grains more than jacketed as the friction...

I assume that in Argentina they reuse wheel weights until they fall off. Are your friends able to buy old pewter as a source of tin? I would be interested in seeing if you could harden with just tin,...

See if there is an address or manufacturer address on the box. The green primers supposedly have a shelf live of 15 years so shoot them quick.

Elmer considered 1 in 16 tin to lead hard cast compared to such alloys as 1 in 20 or 1 in 40. His hardcast compares well to the ww of 1990's. When I hear "hardcast" I think this is someone who thinks...

I have 3 lubesizers on the bench next to an arbor press set up for NOE dies. I still lube some but with 30 cal and 357 lever guns you can shoot them at max 357 speeds without gas checks if you PC.

No one around here gets rid of Cast Iron. I bought the H.F. set of 3 for $15.99 a few years ago. It took a while to settle in but I use the 8" fry pan almost every breakfast.

Nice going, it sounded like a fun time. I ate eel for the first time last year and was pleasantly surprised. I have never lived near water that has them.

My point is you may have seconds to decide whether that elk is 283 yards away or 329. By the time you pull out a range finder and adjust sights, it may be moving again. I am okay with using this if...

There is a community near me that half the town has no electricity, only generators and solar. Most haul in water and have outhouses. Many are just weekend cabins but not all. About 225 5-10 acre...

Most jurisdictions require a size pipe entering the house that allows you to add another appliance. With a 4' crawl space the job should not be unreasonable. You will need 120 for the electric,...

What range do you hunt at and what is your maximum shooting distance? Are you willing to watch a 6 point feed at 300 yards while the 300 Winchester stays in the safe?
