That was my thinking, it had glue and some paper from the drywall and maybe some sand from being outside for years, so I was pretty sure it was not impurities. I think now that my whole stock pile is...

I am smelting on a fish cooker that was given to me for this purpose and I do not get a good blue flame but get a lot of yellow instead. I suspect that the previous owner left the cooker outside and...

I have tried most of the methods and have found nothing I am happy with. I mostly run a 750 Dillon with walnut media, but it has to run many hours to get really clean brass. I have a Rebel 17 and...

My guy asks me if I need any lead, I usually tell him no and he hands me some any way. He had a bunch that was in 2 or 3 lb ingot form and I got maybe 7 or 8 before he told me to drive around and get...

Truck John has hit the nail right on the head, for a SHTF rifle it will need to be dead reliable. Something that Savages are not, my friends tried to sell me on Savages they liked the ability to...

It may well be a good thing for RCBS but only time will tell if it is good for shooters. I really like the Hodgdon mission statement that was posted here, I don't like paying almost 3 times as much...

A friend from high school used to hunt muzzle loader season here in south Florida with a double 12 gage. He told us that he never could get a very good group with buck shoot, so he took wire fishing...

I was given many more pounds than I will live long enough to shoot of Win 231 and even more of Green Dot. To me free is the new clean.

You really think that the company that has more than doubled the price of gunpowder in the past 2 years and seldom has any in stock, now has control of the most popular reloading tool company in the...

We used to use a spline and ducks in the blade and vane group in drafting room at P&W but they had a finer point where they held down the spline. This could be a damaged one, but i am not sure.

I am just looking at the process right now. With me it is more of a way to have components now that they are scarce.

When Barnes bullets came out the guy that taught me to reload tried some and had a lot of problems with copper fouling. If copper sheets or tubing was used to make jackets, would they also be a...

I got the Dillon tumbler back from having the motor upgraded, though I am not sure if it was an up grade. The guy that I talked to told me the new motors get hot and I told the guy that I used to let...
