Still two boxes of bullets left. I guess this is like the "Last Call" before I close-down this offer. Still pretty good, seems a few of you are happy to get some of what was requested. I'm gonna' close the list on Wednesday afternoon. Getting lazy, so I'll only have to head to town once this...

Post 1540: Free Bullets, PIF I've listed thirteen offers in the above post, and the frenzy is getting confusing for me. I'm 'awarding' the requested items in a first-come order, with multiple item requests held (in order) pending clarification. As of now, there are only a handful of items...

Just found this thread, although I see it's over a year old. I've been involved in PIF threads from a couple other forums, and I believe them to be a wonderful resource for those of us in NEED. I've loaded many calibers throughout the last 40+ years, and there's an accumulation of stuff I no...

I believe we may all be over-thinking this whole topic. In the OP, it was asked if we could help justify a desire to buy another firearm. The simple answer is yes, without reservation. The debate begins with the discussion of which type of arm. Preference, preference, and preference should...

You folks have revived my almost-dormant intrest in these, as I had just about given up on finding any to handle. Having made a bunch of phone calls this morning, I found a dealer who placed an order while at SHOT last week. He won't give me an ETA, but will call me upon delivery. In...

I've been looking at these, too. I think it would be ideal for my young son, and my wife may enjoy it as well. Any chance an after-market set of sights would fit? Is the front sight staked in a slot, like the mil-spec 1911? Does the rear dovetail slot match any standare size? Is this...

Sounds about right to me, too. I'm betting that the brass has been work-hardened, and is now too brittle to 'scroll' out of the die. Unless you have a round-jawed plier, like a Jewler would have in his set. Something I picked up as part of a Sterrett set, many years ago. Seldom used, but...

Nuisance 'Coons Okay, I've been following this thread, waiting for all the helpful folks to start lynching those who hold a different outlook. Time to chime in. Somewhere around #50, someone suggested a slingshot. Think real hard about that, and if you haven't used an adult version in...

Mini-14 Cleaning This carbine was designed for people like you! No, that's not at all a negative comment, and it's also not an exaggeration. With nothing more that the Owner's Manual, some cleaning solvent, lube, and proper bore brush/rod combo, you can field strip (without tools, great...

Progress/Regress I once decided to shun the "too easy"" style modern rifles, and hunted with strictly handguns, for all except wing shooting. Even took my turkeys & rabbits that way. Decided that was too pedestrian, so went strictly with flintlocks. Even worked with wing shots. Very...

"Educated" Guess? Okay, looks like an interesting game, so let's play... On my monitor, your photo shows the projectile deformed & on a tape measure. Looks like it should straighten out to about 1 1/16 to 1 1/8 inch in length, as it appears to be an spitzer profiled soft point. Thats...

Pyrodex Ignition When I was helping my brother with load development, we tried Elephant Powder, GOEX, Pyrodex RS, and Pyrodex pellets. With a CLEAN and CLEAR touch hole, ignition wasn't a problem with anything but the pellets. We used only 4F ignition and 6F (yes, FFFFFF) FLASH powder in...

Load Rates When I first got my 550B in the 1980's, I was so impressed with the production rate that I actually timed myself. Using jacketed bullets (lead builds up lube/wax in the seater, so depth has to be watched very closely), I was putting out about 475 rounds per hour. Excellent quality...
