metastatic prostate cancer Recent problems with my lower spine led me to get a MRI of that region. It showed several spots where metastatic bone cancer had started to grow. It interfered with my natural ability to control my bowel. Metastatic prostate cancer is what happens when the prostate...

After much belt tightening, cost savings, and selling a few things, I can stay connected to the internet. Dropped home delivery of the local newspaper, Schawns, and cut the digital phone, and TV from the time warner cable. Advice is coming out of the woodwork, most is good ideas. I don't...

Sever financial troubles has led to a need to cancel time Warner cable "bundle" (or should I say BUNGLE. So I'll be gone for a while, until I can get some badly overdue bills caught up. My apologies to a couple of guys I promised some .458 bullets to on the PIF thread, just no $$ for...

I have this old rifle---so goes the old saying. I've done searches 'til I'm about to go cross eyed. Here's some pics,,--HELP! Bore is horrible. It chambers a 8X57 Mauser shell. It looks like the fore end wood has been cut off at some time or another. Evidence of...

After my tests of the Berry's HHP, dudedog PM'd me about could I test some RMR 124 jacketed HP's? I jumped at the chance I love to test just about anything. Along come a SFRB that when I picked it up felt like a lot more than a few 9mm bullets. 25 RMR 124's, 5 Montana gold 124 HP, 10 Nosler 124...

I've been testing different .223 bullets that are made with deer sized game in mind. Some are heavy-for-caliber, others bonded copper jacketed lead, and even solid copper expanding. My test media is the now defunct bullet test tube heavy wax media. It is supposed to come close to muscle...

A friend has a mystery. He has an unopened tin of rifle ammo that for some reason he can't/won't open. Here's a couple of px of the markings on the outside of the can; Left end of above picture; Right end; What's your best guess as to what's inside there. Some guess are...

A couple of weeks ago I tested some factory speer gold dots in the test tube expansion media. Take a look at some pics; Viewed from the back of the bullet, just above where it came to rest. I cut in from the backside to remove the bullet. Entire wound path with the bullet resting...

Last month a thread was started about deep curl bullets. I said I'd try some in my expansion testing tubes. Well here's the first one, a 308 caliber 165 grain from a 30-06. Rifle used is older than I am,(66 in jan), a 03-A3 springfield. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=608729...

Okay, what are these? Other than the obvious answer "45 auto ammo"! What is that cap inserted in the HP of the bullet. I have a suspicion they're some sort of explosive, that cap is just that, a percussion cap. Got these from my nephew that was helping clean out a garage. He...

I'm extremely reluctant to post this thread. I know I'll get a bunch of flack, no one can say anything I haven't already said to myself. My leg is sore from trying to kick my own butt. First a few pics; The last group the 44 shot. Last it will EVER SHOOT. Load data is, LEE 310 grain...

It finally came! Well worth the wait, the precision is amazing. There's just something about these brass molds, they just look like they WANT to make boolits. They drop right at 200 gr. measure .4545 with this range scrap lead, size to .4525 in a RCBS .452 die. Lubed...

I can find more ways to screw up! What's happened to this load of brass in my HF sonic cleaner? I was running some mildly corroded LC brass,(new,never fired), through to remove the water caused corrosion. I had already done 3 batches with no problems. Using the new Hornady one shot...

I GOT MINE! This is a group buy from over on castboolits.com. It comes from Miha Prevec who lives and works in Slovenija. If you've never seen one of his molds, you're missing how nice they look. That's if you don't mind waiting for over a year, it started on 01-19-2010! What a fine piece...

I love it when a plan works out! Ruger 44 mag. SBH, 10.5", distance 50 ft., boolit lee C430-310-RF GC, Blu dot @11.7 grains. Winchester brass, WWLRP, lee dies with a redding profile crimper. Lyman claims this load should push their 300 grainer @ 895. Can't wait for summer to run it over...

I don't suppose anybody missed me, but I had a Davinci robotic prostatectomy to remove my cancerous prostate two weeks ago Monday. Recovery is slow, mainly because I'm 64, and I'm also diabetic. The main reason I'm posting this is---to urge everybody to get yourself checked out. Have regular...

There should be some guidelines for asking loading questions here on THR, handloading and reloading. Many times, I see questions asked about problems loading something, without any specifics. There should be as much information included that the person asking has at his/her disposal. Make and...

This may be a bit deep for new reloaders, but it should be read by everybody. Here's the scenario; I was loading for a new-to-me 300 win mag. In fact I had never loaded for a win mag before. I was supplied with the rifle, brass fired in that rifle and new dimension Hornady dies. Also a lee...
