This.
Loosen the nut, turn the dial until it lines up with the pointer at the correct temp, and tighten nut.
As far as I know, the only ways to really hurt these is to submerge them or overheat...

You guys are making me regret giving away all my Clays last month.

Based on this I wouldn’t replace the Cat without also addressing the control board…and your muffler shop likely won’t do that.

Powder is nearly impossible to ship legally, so indicating your location might help.
I wonder when that started, or maybe it was a contract run. Thanks for the heads up.

Me too, all good here.
Unless it was a trap.
I stocked more primers than I’ll ever shoot, distributed across numerous locations, powder too.
Of course only for metalic cartridges and now I’m thinking about starting shotgun for which I have no...

I like the recipe from Molly Baz, it’s online.
Browned butter and a little crystalized sugar on top. I sub greek yogurt for lebnah for ease. The rest of the family makes me add chocolate chips to...

Wearing gloves never hurts, but as long as you don’t lick your hands dry you’ll be fine. These lead compounds don’t readily absorb through your skin. Someone may have been thinking about the...

I have this dream of a boyscout troop, 20 boys with air rifles, clearing the iguanas out of a public park or golf course. They could probably do the same thing every weekend and not run out of...

So a “friend” wants you to work for free and get him top dollar. The warning signs are blindingly bright on this “opportunity.”
Best to tell him/her how disappointed you are that you don’t have...

As I understand your specific situation, selling any bullets that you cast is not a violation of federal law, technically or otherwise. I don’t know CA

Something else killed your worms, diatomaceous earth won’t harm them.
I’m good with the non easy open frames.
I did recently see one for sale with a 30-30 barrel and thought it was overpriced, but that might just be my age and temperment.

Cimexa (sp?) is similar, but more finely ground I think. I’ve dusted that stuff into walls in a rental as a barrier, works well for a long time. Also works when wet.
These work by abrading the...

I think that I have 15 or 20 lbs of 452AA in original cone tops if anyone near Charlotte needs it. I load some in 45acp, but have way more than I will ever use. Stored indoors of course.

I generally have a beverage at hand, coffee in the morning, water in the afternoon.
Other bad habits, I anneal plinking rifle brass and I roll size pistol brass. Oh, and I seem to have an affinity...

I have one mounted at the center of one end of a bench and one at the front left corner of another bench.

I don’t think they care about cost at all, they are concerned about optimizing the effectiveness of the small number of soldiers they plan to field in future engagements. Plus, the optics software...
