Consult a reloading manual.

I've got a Lyman Spartan that I got free at the transfer station. Also have a set of Lyman Tru-Line .30-30 dies, but no press that fits them.

On the edge of the topic I guess, but... I once spilled maybe a half ounce of Reloader #7 on my cluttered work bench. Lots of fine sawdust and steel filings for contaminants. Powder is too valuable to waste if it can be saved so I swept the mix into a small wooden box. then poured it into...

+1 !!!!!!!!!!!! Look at Craigslist. Ohio should be good used lathe country.

I shot a squirrel in a live catch trap with no damage to the trap. Wing shooting carpenter bees has been iffy for me from a rifle. Between the shot getting damaged by forcing the shell open and the rifling of the barrel opening the pattern, it's pretty random whether any connects with the bee...

I know I might as well be trying to communicate with the air, but shooters have created an exponential increase in the amount of powder and primers burned since the invasion of the AR platform. Tens of thousands of people who either had never shot before or only shot maybe 100 rounds per year...

Before I built two .25-10 rifles, I bought 50 new cases and a bullet mold. After I made the first rifle, a bolt action single shot, my cousin gave me a couple hundred .32-20 cases that I have been resizing to .25-20. I have a couple hundred .25 cal jacketed bullets and a five-gallon bucket of...

I had some .40g 222 dia. jacketed bullets a long time ago and nothing that needed them. Just for fun, I pulled a bullet from a .22LR case and poked one of the jacketed bullets into the breach of my Remington 510, followed by the loaded .22 LR case. It fired just fine, but I had no way to judge...

Yes, it means Jehovah. A clear example of using the name in vain. The cartridge is of no interest to me apart from the name.

I agree about heating it from the inside end. Then apply penetrating oil of choice and, when it is cooled, use a sharp prick punch to rotate the screw.

No matter what gun you use, it's not as important as shot placement. Any bullet in the right place will do the job. Any bullet in the wrong place is of much less value. And for those who plan to aim for center mass, it's worth noting that that's where people wear body armor.

I have never owned a digital or dial caliper. I'm 75 and still use my 52-year-old Mitutoyo 8" vernier. Never had a false reading, never had batteries go dead. I always keep the jaws touching when not in use and the stainless steel has never rusted. I'd take a digital as a gift, but wouldn't buy one.

Would not worry me. But, unrelated, I'm curious what that goobery gob on the screw in the first picture is?

+1! a5werkes, great compilation.

I voted no, but I'm going to toot my own horn here just for fun. Back in the 1980s, I wrote an article that was published in Guns Magazine (They misspelled my last name as "David" instead of Davis.) Scanners were just showing up in grocery stores and I talked to an industry research &...

I've got 10 rifles, on all of which I have done work to improve their usefulness and or appearance. Two of them I made from scratch. I'm 75 and am surveilling the grand kids to see if there is any interest in having one or more of grandpa's guns. I could easily get by with one of the rim fires...

I have one like the one on the left.

Or, because Mauser model of 1893 put a damper on all future production of the cartridge.

Thanks Otto. My primers are stored in a wooden tool box that also contains my bullets and dies. They are in there to keep things organized, not for some safety reason.

As a group, humans are always looking for faster, more powerful, more accurate, more efficient, shinier and newer. We are never content with what we have. As individuals, some of us have learned to be happy with what works. I have nine rifles. The newest caliber is .222 Rem. Next newest is...
