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.

A pin gage of known size provides a solid comparison point to check your mike or caliper, to ensure it is accurate and repeatable. Where I work, we check calibration with .1250, .2500, .5000, .7500...

You might also want to buy one or two Class XX ground gage pins to check calibration periodically. A .2500 and a .5000 pin would cover the common range for most calibers, and ensure your mike is...

I have a Colt SAA in 44 Special with the 4-3/4" bbl. Easy to carry and very accurate. With regard to DA revolvers, I often carry a Charter Arms 44 Bulldog, which is substantially smaller and...

It’s a common refrain - much of what is produced in China is junk. They are capable of better quality but they don’t send it to the USA.

Germany, Italy and France still make good products, and we...

Pretty much all day long.

Me too...actually we live in Schertz but it's all the same (and I work in San Antonio).

I live in the taco capital of the entire civilized world...you can get most anything you want - crispy, soft, puffy, etc., and fillings run the gamut - it's almost indefinite.

Nice job! FYI, blue or black Sharpie pen works in a pinch when you don't have Prussian Blue.

No, I have not tried that approach, but sounds easy enough - I have both DE and bait (just no flies right now).
