    What have you done in the reloading room today

    Wiring. Technically it was in the man room. The man room is essentially a bonus room accessed through a small closet, and the wiring was for the den which is underneath the man room. Luckily though, I have a few circuits of 120v ac power that WERE in the den but I removed the wall that they were...

    Let’s see an odd item that you use in your reloading process.

    I have heard of all kinds of things being used to make a powder drop flow better by using vibration. A washer and dryer set is a bit far out on that particular limb but I guess it ought to do the trick.

    What was your first marksmanship badge of honor? .....

    I think I was 12 when I went to Camp Curry for a week in the summer. I shot well enough without practice to earn the marksmanship badge. Probably from all of the BB gun escapades in the back yard for as long as I can remember. Many many sparrows fell victim to a Daisy lever carbine BB gun...

    Unwelcome visitor

    Buzzworms are not friendly. How big was it? I saw the first copperhead of the year on Wednesday, so they are awake and probably hungry.

    Nickel plated brass question

    I get excited for finding nickle brass in any caliber. I use nickel for hotter loads or special loads. It’s an easy and quick distinction that allows for more positive identification of loads if something crazy happens like the bottom blow out of a box while moving and your containers get mixed...

    16ga ???

    That’s one of the ones I will buy if I ever stumble across it. Those old winchesters are unbelievable in the way they fit me.

    16ga ???

    I really like 16ga. I like 20 as well, and truthfully they are pretty close in most aspects. Seems in the late 70s and 80s things started swinging towards everything had to be magnum and more power to be enjoyable. We know that’s a load of bull, but we got 3” 12 and 20, then eventually 3-1/2”...

    Has anyone gone to the Sonoran Desert Institute?

    I have seen a lot of their ads on Fat Electrician YouTube videos. I looked at the syllabus and whatnot that is available online. I then read some reviews about their educational content. Essentially what I gathered out of that 2 hours worth of reading is that SDI is not a great school but it is...

    How To Dispose Of Out Of Date Pepper Spray

    22 target. Nice poof when you get a hit. Wind at your back and 50 yards is about optimal.

    What is the most recent knife you bought?

    Kobalt folder that takes razor blade inserts. I go through them quick. I will trash this knife probably sometime in April. I have drywall, electrical, building, and painting projects all right around the corner on top of everyday work. I break the mechanism in these knives, good thing they come...

    New 357 Lever Action

    Unless they fall absolutely flat on their face, in which case you either have a paperweight or a highly sought after collectors item. Just think what the Hudson H9 did. Also the USFA zip.

    Yesterday in the barn, AKA: melting stuff is fun!

    I need to clean up and cast some. I have roughly 100 pounds worth that I will be melting at some point. Just gotta find time. Now it’s time to mow already and I have winter projects still needing finished. I’ll get it soon enough. I’m turning 40 this year, there’s a 50-50 shot it’s done by the...

    New 357 Lever Action

    I jumped back to GB to verify Rossi pricing is still about the same as I last looked. Of course the laminate and stainless r92 was front and center. The stock photos don’t have great looking wood, but the examples I have seen in person are very pretty for a person who likes laminate stocks. At...

    New 357 Lever Action

    700 bucks on Gunbroker. They have multiple variants including a tactical with skeleton stock and AR type handguard. Also available in .410. For what it’s worth I think I would go Rossi as a known decent gun for similar money. This is interesting though. The stainless looks nice. The faux case...

    A trip to BPS Ill.

    Even if not in one of the more restrictive states there are small jurisdictions around the country with some restrictive laws that make no sense. Add to that all of the corporate BS that gets passed down through the chain of command. Add again a general lack of understanding of all of this...

    Let's go magnet fishing!

    European laws regarding antiquities are very different than ours. Even if it’s on your property and you find it doing normal stuff you can get in trouble for not reporting and giving the govt full access to your property to destroy at their leisure. Even things as simple as a single coin or...

    Can't think of where else to put this, so...

    I have 3 hooties. Ages are 13, 11, and 3-1/2, all female. Things disappear and then reappear in their rooms. Especially small screwdrivers and tape measures, but anything is liable to vanish, and nobody ever did it.

    How Cheap Can It Be?

    Some of the most accurate pistol rounds use some of the cheapest bullets. Wadcutters, FMJ, LRN, all cheap and easy to find. Can you make great ammo on the cheap, yes. Caliber plays a factor in how good and how cheap because economy of scale begins to play a factor so the big sellers start to win...

    These cartridges would not fire.

    Did you just run the cylinder a second round or did you unload and reload the rounds. If the former then there was no chance to hit a fresh spot on the primer to ignite a partial dud, and it may be at least in part an ammo issue. If the latter then you may have ammo with totally dud primers but...
