    If you could have only one pistol?

    I have an 1858 pietta with an 8" barrel and a 45LC conversion cylinder. Not a concealed gun, but I can stay on a pie plate at 40 yards and could probably still hit anything at 60 yards. We have two Glocks and a p365 and I no where near have the confidence shooting them as I do with the single...

The cheaper one is $219 I use the #12 because I wanted the mixer and added an fine grind plate for making venison bacon and fine grind make better ground jerky. I don't partial freeze unless...

    I am in my office and have 6 in here with me. Someone was talking about Americans owning more than one gun on teams call. They said they own one, two or three and I was like, I got more in this room with me that y'all own! :p I don't worry about locking most up as I am almost always home, work...

    Cast bullet lube?

    I will not shake and bake powder coat unless the humidity is under 40%. Static is not generated in high humidity. I have also had some powders fail and I am not sure if they were packaged in high humidity or not. I bought Eastwood lime green and works great. Bought Grape and I can't get it to...

    Build a AR?

    I had purchased two PSA Uppers and they work, but I have had trouble with both. First one was 556 and had some jamming occasionally. Second one was 6.8 SPC and that one would not cycle anything. Took it to an Armorer I know and the Carrier Key on the BCG was out of spec and accepted the Red key...

    Powder coating - A list of good and bad powders

    Did you all get some powder that just will not work, or stick? I got Eastwood Hotcoat Lime green that works great. Grape would not stick. Don't know if its the powder, they got moisture in it. I am on cast boolits, I just don't post over there much. Might ask there, or search. I have had zero...

    Powder coating - A list of good and bad powders

    Does anyone maintain a list of powders that work for shake and bake coatings? I pretty much only try to coat bullets when it is 40% humidity or less in the house. I have Orient Red from powder by the pound and that works. Eastwood Hotcoat Lime Green and that works great. I bought Hotcoat...

    Lyman brass dryer

    I got an old Wesco dehydrator that I upgraded to a Meat one for jerky and still don't use it like this. The pins get "washed" every time I wash some cases. Little soap and a little lemon powder. Fluffed on a drying towel and laid on another get the water spots off the cases. That the worst...

    Lyman brass dryer

    I just roll them around on a towel and dump them on a towel in the family basement floor to air dry. Works great with wood stove or air conditioning running. I would use the linked hydrator and not use it for food also. Also, y'all dry your pins also? I leave the lid off my tumbler and let them...

    Mtm Table “quiver”

    I have been thinking about something like this also. I could make a table top like this. Make with with plywood and weld 1 1/2" EMT conduit to plates to attach to the table and use 1 1/4" EMT to slide into that and be the legs. I have been using fold up tables and lead sled or not, you just move...

    Shooting pure lead powder coated

    I have a supply on the shelf running out, but I plan on mixing the first one when I can get some tin. I saved the below info and made a Excel sheet calculator to do the math. 91% pure lead, 9% tin leaves you with 10.5 bhn and water quenched maybe 14 or better. (to make 20# use 18.2# of lead and...

    Shooting pure lead powder coated

    In a higher hardness maybe, but pure lead no. I have powder coated pure lead 155 grain 9mm bullets and they expand great, but are flyer past 10 yards and rifle would be worse. Maybe water quenched WW lead and a 1:12 twist barrel and smaller bullets like 55 grains. I have seen people doing that...

    Win Deer Season XP - thoughts and initial performance

    Nice deer you got there. FWIW, do you butcher yourself or drop them off to some one? I self butcher and stopped using any bullet that uses "rapid expansion" in its selling lines. I have thrown away a lot of meat where they got into the shoulders. Quartering away in the far shoulder and...

    I Saved Some of my Rabbits

    Yeah, rabbits don't stand a chance any more. Hawks have rebounded heavily in 20 - 30 years. People don't trap foxes like they used too. Early winter we have plenty, then spring time I wonder if any are left to repopulate, but they do. I tried planting hazel hunt trees for the deer herd. Put in...
