    16ga ???

    I have a love for the 16-gauge as well. It was my first gun as well, a Winchester Model 37 Steelbilt. I later added a Remington model 12. I need to get a MEC Jr. in 16-gauge and start shooting them more.

    I shot my 624 and my first had loads of 38 special

    Nice. .38 Special is a dream to handload for.

    I don't like snakes

    For such a dumb marketing ploy, they sure caught on and have a cult following. Everyone likes different things, and that's okay. Be a hell of a boring world if we all liked the same things.

    Ruger American Rimfire, Ammo Testing

    Very nice. The only .22 I have is an old Marlin 60 and I put 100 rounds or so through it the other day and forgot how fun plinking with a .22 really is. I need to get me a nicer bolt that's capable of some good accuracy.

    I’ve got 99 cases…

    I've been joking in the thread, but I'll say I am more picky about that stuff with hunting ammo than I am with range plinking ammo. I start out with a full box of ammo for deer rifles each year. I don't care about there being empty slots during deer season. However when season is over, the box...

    Some people just want to watch the world burn. LOL

    Six Cavity Molds for Sale-Elmer Keith #429421 and #358429

    I don't know who makes one, but I'll say if you get a 6 cavity it better be aluminum. I have a 4 cavity Lyman for .38 special and it will wear you out.

    44 special

    I use mostly 700X and Unique in .44 Special. I shoot them out of a .44 magnum Super Blackhawk and mostly I shoot the Skeeter load, which is 7.5 grains of Unique and a 245 grain SWC. That will be stout in that snubbie. Like others have said, consult a manual and use published data.

    Nickel plated brass question

    I have quite a bit of nickel plated brass for .357 mag and .38 Special. I've never lubed a single handgun round and I've loaded many thousands. I have no plans to start now. I also have a lot of .30-06 in nickel, but they all have to be lubed anyway. I don't really have a preference. The...

    I’ve got 99 cases…

    Different It's more about consistency for me. I don't get up in arms about headstamps. Everything I have is mixed and I pay no attention to it whatsoever. Everything gets loaded the same. You'll get some people talking about different headstamps have different internal...

    Can a Convicted Felon Go to a Firing Range Strictly as a Observer? No Handling or Firing.

    I don't practice in the federal system and admittedly don't know very much about it, so I won't weigh in on whether he could go or not. I will weigh in on one idea that must be kept in mind when talking about possession. There is actual possession, which is what we immediately think about when...

    Is it really “OCD”??

    I'm part OCD but I'm also part lazy. It's a bad combination. I like shiny brass. But I'm not going to the trouble of having to dry brass after cleaning. So, corncob and NuFinish it is for me.

    What have you done in the reloading room today

    Yeah, I had to get the needle nose pliers out and fish him out of there. lol

    What have you done in the reloading room today

    Had a casting session the other day and today after work, I'm getting them ready to load. A little pan lubing this evening.

    Is Taurus a Good Brand for Revolvers

    I'll rephrase. I won't pay the same, or even close to the same, for a Taurus as I would a Ruger. For that price, I would buy a Taurus. It's a very good value at that price point.

    Is Taurus a Good Brand for Revolvers

    That's exactly my point. I'm not paying $700 for a Taurus when I can get a Ruger for the same money. Again, not bashing Taurus, but they're not as good a gun as a Ruger.

    Is Taurus a Good Brand for Revolvers

    Well, they used to be. I have a Taurus revolver and it's fine. Like has been said above, it is not a shining example of flawless craftsmanship, but that's not what they were going for. Mine is a police trade in 4" .38 Special that I paid $200 for. For that gun at that price, it was worth it...

    Lost My Cool at Range Today

    And sadly procreate. Our range is very strict on this. Either the gun is racked, or it's left with action open and chamber flag in place. And it's not to be touched while folks are downrange. And giving someone your key will get you booted. Quickly.

    My Child Is Pretty Curious, Do You Lock Up Your Guns?

    If a kid is coming over and I don't know the parents that well, say for my kids birthday party or something like that, and they ask I would have no problem telling them that yes, they are all locked up.

    Brushing necks, what exactly do you mean.

    A case prep center is on my short list of tools to add to the bench. I use the Lee trimmers because I loathe having to make a dozen tiny adjustments when changing calibers that I'm trimming. The Lee system is so easy, just screw in the caliber specific rod and start trimming. Well now Lee makes...
