I bought the complete Brownells set, along with a nice oak wood block storage. Using the wrong driver is a great way to bugger up the screws on a nice firearm. I don't need them real often, but they fit perfect and they don't slip. I kept having screws loosen on my Navy .36 till I got the...

I was just mostly offended by the _attitude_ I encountered, by even contemplating changing the combination, when conversely this was touted as an advantage and/or great idea of the electronic locks. Me: "Say, where is the change key for the lock that comes with the safe?" "We don't let...

Well I saw that. The upgrade, but still looking at different brands and setups. It's confusing a little bit. " Wellll... Jus' gimme sumthin' I'm used to... " Kempfs is a neat website. Oh. We're in Ioway, North east part, sorry about that. Lots of whitetails, pheasant, turkey, etc. good...

Ok, thanks everyone, esp. the press info. They all look pretty much the same to me right now. The Redding stuff was at least *triple* in price. Ouch. I'll have to check Scheels in town, they might have some of this stuff for sure. Not sure about CAS, the only reason I chose .357 to...

Hm, I glanced over at midway for powders. Looking pretty slim for what I want. W231, 4756, 5744, etc. All out. And then they have a hazmat fee of 20 bucks, plus another 10 bucks on top of that. Crikey. I might try to buy local for the powder and primer if possible to avoid this...

OK. I spent some time, and Midway has a turret kit for $110.00, and a 4 set carbide die for $37.00 The part number for the kit is 622290; the 4 set carbide dies part number 309802; the kit is short a couple items I'm unclear on, but how are these two items for a start?

My whole life, the "experts" have reported how rare it is for ______ to attack humans. That notion is getting a bit long in the tooth by now. The only reason ______ attacks are "rare" is because most of the wild critters other than squirrels and rabbits were extirpated a long time ago, and for...

Ok, thanks everyone, got some homework to do. Need to order some stuff from Brownells anyway, they should have the manuals I need. Btw, have always been a bit leery of reloading, had a roomate in college who reloaded in our dorm room. Great guy and all, had lots of nice guns to shoot at the...

Yeah, a kit sounds the way to go, mostly. Can see this could get more complicated than I want, because a rifle is going to want different bullet weights and charges than a pistol. Is it possible to standardize my rounds with commonality of specific powder, primers, and brass, at least?

Well it looks like that handloader would be more my speed - only 30 bucks or so! I guess I would need a decapper, too. I saved the brass from the last time at the range, but I didn't decap them. I washed 'em in soap and hot water, will it hurt anything to keep the caps in the brass for a...

OK. I see they have a "kit" available too. Now, does that include the die? Or are they standardized across brand names, can install a die from many makers? Would a Redding die (heard they were good) fit in that, or that's where it gets fuzzy. Now figure that I might not want a wall full of...

Wait a minute. Golf balls aren' shot through a rifled barrel either, but I think they have a lot of spin, depending. So, what might happen if, or maybe it might be interesting with the old smoothbore cannon ball. They were always round, right? Maybe rough castings, don't know. I bet it was...

Howdy folks, Have found this great forum and been reading for some time. Would like to understand how to get started in re-loading. Don't have any experience in this, but just want something to get me going. Have been a blackpowder shooter more than anything else for quite a few years...

I tried to obtain a change key for a LaGard mechanical from a locksmith and they would not provide one, acting squirrely. I suppose it's to protect their business revenue, understandable, but it ain't rocket science. ***? Oh well, instead I bought a vintage NOS S&G Group II lock, to replace...

Try Ballistol Sportsmans Oil mixed 50/50 with water. (kidding.) That stuff is positively gawdawful! I just bought a can from Brownells a while back after reading some good reviews online for BP cleaning. Some folks said they didn't like it a whole lot. I started cleaning my Pietta .36...

I'm gonna say I don't like the electronic gunsafe locks for some reason. I have some experience with the lock type, I hope they are better than the one on my Sentry firesafe, I don't know. We keep the mortgage paperwork and other important documents inside. It can be opened quicker than a...

Linseed oil is great stuff! warning/achtung! lecture follows: But remember it's the stuff that makes for the "oily rags start fires" stories you may have heard about. Never seen it with motor oil rags, but just something to be aware of. 'Course, I bet any can of it these days has plenty...

Welp, this is as good a post as any to start a post on THR. Lurkin' for a long while. Aircraft are way loud. WAY loud, I was a UH60 Black Hawk crewchief and while it was loud it wasn't nothing like jet aircraft about the loudest thing I ever heard in my life was an F16 doing a static...
