The only place I would go to when I lived in Austin was Iron Works BBQ. It used to be a hole-in-the-wall place, but more people go there now.
S&W revolver parts aren't breaking on a steady pace. Generally, it's when the parts are taken out to "improve them" without the knowledge of how to properly tune one.
S&W prices climbed with the...
Anyone load 45 Colt for a Colt 1909?
There are three US Army 1909 45 Colt revolvers at my LGS. I am thinking of getting one for javelina, cougar, and maybe black bear hunting behind hounds. They...

My 107 Supermatic shoots TAC-22 just fine. Being a higher priced .22 round, I thought it would have better accuracy than Aguila, but it doesn't.
I also shoot TAC-22 in my Colt Woodsman's, and it...

The price of 410 ammo is the reason I sold my two Winchester Model 42's. I bought a 20 ga Remington 870 and have really been having fun with it.

I found very few books that I would spend more than a day reading. I enjoy reading short magazine articles about hunting and fishing.

I have two presses just like in the first posting. One is steel, the other aluminum. Is the aluminum press as strong as the steel press for resizing up to 30-06 brass?

I find two molds in the Lyman manual for the .348 Win, both are gas checked. So, I have two questions:
What size gas check for the .348?
Is there a mold without a gas check for the .348...
Wow, that is very nicely done. I think you can quit your day job and have your wife travel around the country designing man caves. Her decorating skills make Joana Gaines look amateurish.

First press was a used RCBS Jr for $15.00 with one set of dies, when LEE loader was $15.00 NIB - no brainer. I only loaded 30-06. Got into handguns, by way of military. When I retired from the...

It may be the only magazine that the writers are not getting paid from the corporations to put stuff like; I used knifeXX.com, or I wore skivviesXX.com while hunting. As long as it stays that way,...

An older fellow in Idaho with a big hat and cigar shot a deer 600 yards ways with a 4" 44 Magnum revolver. I think Brian Williams witnessed it.

I would suggest trying to sell them here first. I have Handloader magazine from Number 1 to Number 225. I took them to the local gun show and the best offer I received was $1.00 each.

All the opinions are very positive for this old priming tool. I'm going to prime some '06 cases with it to see how I like using it. Thanks for all the replies.
Is this RCBS priming tool worth having/using? I know the newer APT is faster.
