I found it difficult to meter, I ended up using several other powders that I liked better. I stocked up when they discontinued it, still have several lifetime supplies.

Guess it's time for another...

Crossfire happens, we had one guy at our varmint matches that crossfired regularly. For a while we were putting one of the old style kerosene burning road flares under his target.

He started to...

Stumbled across this old thread while looking for something else, figured I'd drag it back to the top of the pile to see if any body else has case conversion horror stories.

I think I had written up how I had converted berdan cases to 209, was looking at doing it for some 500/450 nitro express berdan cases.

Then the buddy who I was doing it for died and the project...

Probably my first, a trapdoor in 50-70. Bought it in 1990 for $250 with RCBS dies and ~100 pieces of Dixie brass.

I had looked at it several weeks earlier, it was marked $375, no notation about...

Or a fast food soda straw, cut to length and put in the primer arm slot on the ram to direct the primers down where they belong if you're a cheapskate, I mean frugal, like me.

Just deprimed 40...

Slower cast boolits work the best. They will ring like the bells of Notre Dame when hit right.

Just don't go too big, even cast boolits can break chunks out of those oxygen cylinders. 470 Nitro...

Building is still there, you can read the sign on the end of the building, can't tell you when it went out of business. It was a good sized building out in the country on Pere Marquette Highway.

Price has gone up, used to be considerably cheaper.

Thanks bidenomics.

Does the can have a zip code in the address? If not, that would put it pre-1963.

I've got several with no zip code, it still goes BANG:Fire:

My best friend shot a Cape Buffalo, this week last year with my hand loaded 450/400 Nitro Express. Don't believe he had any issues taking the hand loads in. This was his eighth trip. Only thing he...

Plymouth Rd., if I remember correctly, been gone ~40 years. They went out of business about the time I started working in Livonia, building CMM's.

I've got a couple of cans of powder from Nichols...

And consider tuning up the triggers, I still have my Glenfield Model 25, and 20,000+ rounds has not improved the trigger one bit.

The Marlin probably has a better trigger to start with.

And it is too much fun to beat the high buck guns with a basic rifle.

We used to shoot an airgun league at one of my clubs, I won it several years in a row with a 60 year old Benjamin 317 air...

Don't think you need membership to order Airguns/pellets.

I believe being in 4-H is enough to allow you to order rifles.

To order rifles and or ammunition, you need "proven Marksmanship...

Already been said, but practice is the key.

May want to look at CMP, they sell refurbished target Daisy air rifles for not much more than a hundred dollars, peep sights included. And they used to...

Glad it worked for you, I make much simpler snap caps, I take a fired case, drill and tap for either 5/16-18 or 8-1.0 in metric. Trim off enough of the shoulder so I can thread a nylon screw in from...

I bought one earlier this year, seemed to work well during testing in the shed when there was snow on the ground, I haven't made it to the range to give it a real world test.

I also bought one of...

But there's at least TEN BUCKS on the line for the winner:bigsmyl2:

Mine.was used in our varmint matches, 10 ring is about 7/8". It's time for a new barrel, went from a fairly regular 50 at 100 yards, to lucky to hit in the scoring rings at all.

Got enough guns(I know, sacrilege,). Problem is, most of my H380 is pre-zip code vintage, most likely WWII surplus. It still works well, but I prefer fresher powder for the 22-250, 220 Swift or the...

Sent an email to Hodgdon, asking about H380, they don't recommend it, it's too slow. Now to come up with a way to burn off 15-20 pounds of H380.

Good thing, part 2 of my question was about...

Rabbit cage pliers.

Had to look them up.

Learn new, weird stuff every day.

Had no idea they were even a thing and I've got probably 30+ different styles of pliers.

I've used H380 in the past, more as an experiment because I have ~15 pounds of it. Don't remember the load or where I got the load but it was a published load and seemed to work OK.

I think H380...

Just don't "relocate" the miserable animal to someone else's neighborhood. That was a continuous problem growing up on a farm on a minimally traveled country road.

Don't just dump your problems...
