My family is from Louisiana so Crystal hot sauce in on the table. Everyone also has Tabasco but it is mostly used when cooking.

You are at 930 now.......

Swab the bore with Hoppes 9 and leave it saturated. Then let it sit for a while followed by a brass brush and patches. Then repeat a few times a day for a few days. Hoppes is great for plastic but...

With the constant unavailability for the last decade and current price IMR powders are officially now obsolete and I will never buy any of them again. They never metered that good anyway. I have...

Not doubting you in the least and never shot IHMSA. But can a 32-20 knock down a ram? From today's internet lore you needed something substantial and AFAIK a 32-20 has about the same energy as a...

There are also different version of 2200. When it first came out it was Data powder 2200 and went for about $10 a pound shipped. They had two versions of the surplus powder the fast and slow and...

Craigslist and Facebook marketplace are the worst when someone says "pewter" plates or dinner ware. To most if it is white and metal it is pewter but 99% is aluminum Armetale. I don't think I...

It is probably Wilton Armetale which is aluminum based and you will see this stuff 10:1 in a thrift shop vs real pewter. All of those square trays saying "Give us this day our daily bread" or "Bless...

I agree 100%. Only thing I can add Contender wise, which is slightly OT, is that everyone with a Contender should be required to have a 7mm TCU with a 10 inch barrel. The 7mm TCU and a Contender...

If it is dead soft lead the ball it will fit. Place it on the muzzle and start giving it light taps with a small hammer. It will go in. When it is almost flush with the barrel you can even take...

This is the thermoworks probe I use the most. While their basic Dot probe is cheaper this one reads to 0.1 so it is easier to see when the temperature is changing, has a built in timer, and shows...

Looks like you now have a nice stack of semi disposable dishrags. Cut it up.

I remember reading a warning on one of the bullet mold manufacturers sites that said brass molds can warp if heated too hot. Has anyone else heard this or had any problems?

This. There are many cheap and accurate digital thermometers out there so just throw away those notoriously inaccurate bimetal ones.

Thermoworks makes the best and the difference in my probe and...

Brownells has TCM powder that is specifically made for that cartridge at the bargain price of ~$25 a pound (+ hazmat). While there are a few loads for 44 mag and hot 45 Colts there are not that...

Hornady also has Garand loads on their reloading page. Under rifle data scroll thru the list and under 30-06 there is 30-06 service rifle.

There is another post on garand loads yesterday that...

Would this idea work to clear a jammed cylinder from a loose primer pocket? Put an appropriate sized rod down the barrel till it hits the bottom of the case then give it some taps with a hammer? ...

Garands were originally loaded with H4895 in WWII and are happiest with burn rates from BLC (2) to IMR-4064. H335 should work but a better option would be Accurate 2520. It is known as Camp Perry...

Good eye. I thought the handle looked intact so disregard my comment. Except for the part about round stacked leather being a pain to get right.

Who made the blade and what are the markings? Vintage knives are highly collectible so unless the grips are cracked or missing I would just clean up the blade and enjoy it. Besides, I like the...

The gas plug vents some of the gas but the bolt still comes back hard when firing a grenade. There is no way I know of to lock the action shut. The newer gas plug with the poppet valve had a...

The Lee 405 is a good bullet and I shot a lot of them in an original trapdoor and a long barreled Handi rifle. I never used pure lead but have no problems with a BHN ~10 bullet, sized, and with a...

Generally if you have a newer frame you want barrels that have the split locking lug. The solid ones can give you problems opening.

The best place to determine values is looking at Ebay sold...

No. And don't. 2400 is now a precious powder that hasn't been available for years so save it for something more appropriate like high end pistols or 22 hornets. Use the rifle powders with the...
