There’s a butt for every seat. Not my thing visually but that’s a heck of a gun. Good combination of all the things. Right caliber, right barrel length, right everything, I’m just not sold on the two-tone thing for revolvers. If it came from the factory that way I would bet it has notable...

Yes. Not depriming, but trying to hold flat based bullets square enough to seat them. The pinch hard and fast.

That whole product line with the open top slides are great guns. Generally pretty soft shooting unless you’re getting into the tiniest of them and even then they are soft compared to similarly sized pistols of the same chambering. The one I want I haven’t seen in person for about a decade, and...

I do, but they just aren’t nearly as accurate. Accurate is fun. The fact that I’m loading less accurate rounds intentionally just doesn’t interest me and it’s just like loading cheap 9mm blasting ammo. Just not a whole lot of fun to load it.

No, single. The long pointy bullets don’t want to get along with the feeding mechanism in my rifle and it tends to hang up. I can use light for caliber pointy bullets, but I can’t use anything heavier than about 150gr without it causing issues. I havent taken the feeding contraption apart yet...

I load 30-30, but shooting it in a marlin takes a lot of fun out of the loading. Can’t use most bullets unless you load them into the chamber by hand making the rifle essentially a single shot. Seems I just load 3030 like I load 9mm, cheap blasting fodder.

I don’t understand the o/u setup. It’s a shotgun classic from far enough back, but in rifles it seems more modern, and if a person is going more modern it seems like a bolt rifle makes more sense in all ways.

What you got against ol Ching Lee? The Fat Electrician did a feature on him and it sounded like the dude did a lot of good but even for TFE the story seemed a bit over the top.

I have used it for years. When my current can is gone though, I’m changing. The rem-oil is too light of an oil and seems to just disappear into thin air. I want something that’s a little better at staying where I put it.

With the volume of scams both buying and selling these days it’s hard not to be nervous about an online deal. I haven’t bought online in a long while, and when I do I only do so when I can find the seller in multiple ways… brick and mortar gun shop is my preferred way, even if I’m buying through...

Wow. There’s a lot to take in here. I’m going to have to look into pretty much all of what you’re saying. As for lube, what I started with was One-Shot which I found when I moved. I know people have had stickers with it so I applied a bit heavily. What I ended with was Pam cooking spray. I...

After cleaning and trying again I still had some very sticky cases. I changed lube and it went smooth from that point on. I ended up throwing the old can away and raided the kitchen cabinet for Pam like I normally use. I’ll tumble everything today to clean it up and hopefully load tonight.

I had an itch to do some competition type shooting a while back. Totally informal, and not competitively, just similar to how competitive matches have people shoot. So I put a dot on top of an old raggedy model 10-6 and it was really really nice. I never finished doing that one right, but I...

Cases are trying to stick. Even with lube. I’m going to break everything down and get it squeaky clean and start over.

No, right shell holder. Another #3 has it rolling again. I have so many old die sets though that there’s really no telling where this one was or what abuse it has had imparted on it over the years. It’s not cut like a Lee shell holder so maybe it’s one of my really old Lyman ones.

I have never had this happen. I don’t remember ever hearing of this happening. This was the 2nd case. First one did exactly as it should have. Yes the brass was lubed. Not it wasn’t hard to size. No real force on it when it blew out, just normal pressure. Just not my day to load I guess. 7.5x55...

Cheapo safe with a golden rod. Discussion over. Secure, dry, protected. Even the cheapo $200 “safe” at rural king would hold a LOT of handguns and then a goldenrod dehumidifier is cheap. Just make sure you have a place to plug in. Put it in a closet, basement, garage… still not thinking barn is...

Shotshell loaders just seem to be spendy in general. I have recently looked at a tooling kit for my Ponsness Warren duomatic and was hoping to buy the tooling for 16ga but A. It’s not available and B. If it was available just a box of tools would be $400 or more. I could probably make most of...

Kinda, as in is it useful to a knife maker. I have no use for it and want to send it somewhere that it would be useful and appreciated.

I have some d2 (written on billet in sharpie) that I found and I’m trying to figure out what to do with it. I was hoping to use it in my baby lathe but A. My machine can’t handle a piece this size, and B. I’m not skilled enough yet to work with a metal like this. Would this be useful to knife...
