Hey there RR7 - I don't have an answer, but I see cow pies turned over, as in flipped, on my place. I've been wondering what was doing that too. It'll be interesting to see what turns up at your place. Best regards. Wind

Wind

Hey there Joe - What took ya so long?? Yep the RCBS expander die also flares. Use the least amount of flare you can get by with. It will increase the longevity of your cases. I'll also second that 10 grains of Unique under a 170 grain (gas checked) bullet load recommendation, but don't tell anyone I...

Hey there bsaride - Would you want to part with one of the eye cups? Genuine Lyman? Best regards. Wind

Hey there T B - I left there to get here!! It's too close to all the congestion. It's being swallowed up with new ding-bat housing, but the roads can't keep up. There are traffic jams just getting out of housing developments. They've had to reduce the speed limit on the freeway (the cities western b...

Hey there bsaride - Check out this guys web site. I've talked to him and he seems to have a pretty good handle on it. do you have the box? Best regards. Wind

Hey all - I was responding to a thread on another forum and thought I'd get in my over-achiever mode and pass the information along here too. I’m a Range Officer for several different shooting venues. Last year I witnessed THREE negligent discharges at different events. One bullet entered the unload...

Hey there T B Good - Never thought I'd be giving geography advice!! Anywhere NORTH of Everett is good. The Everett area, the Interstate 5 corridor from Everett to Tacoma (south) is awful. Once you get north of Everett you're in Skagit County. Mostly rural and small towns like Mount Vernon, Sedro Woo...

Yeah wm - I so totally share your pain dude! Then you see some innocent like 76/444 coming down the path and get that crooked little grin and say "hey there buddy - need a case trimmer?" Wind

Wind

Hey there Haycock - One thing about this forum is that there is plenty of free advice, with a wide variety of opinions. Having started on old Belding & Mull inline equipment, Lee mallet stuff, multiple RCBS (Jr.'s and Rockchuckers) and Dillon's, I'd say go with the Dillon 550B. I have never had ...

Hey there thornblom - At the risk of sounding like some old crank, I never saw the need to quit using Unique. It's been working well for a long time in a lot of configurations. Sorry I can't help much with your question!! Best regards. Wind

Wind

Yeah Hobie - I hate those peanuts. Even when I unpack something directly over the garbage can they still come adrift. Best regards. Wind

Wind

Hey ya’ll - I’m in the process of moving into the new digs. It’s still a construction zone, but way more comfortable. I’ve been dusting off box after box down on the shop floor, and moving them upstairs. Got to looking more closely at this one and it dawned on me that it was built and used before I ...

Hey there Kim - I have both a Brownell's interchangeable set and a Grace "fixed" set. The Brownell's cover most of the needs, but I do grind the Grace drivers to fit specific needs. Usually just a touch to the stone to make the adjustment. The Grace set is easier to hold and grind. They ha...

Hey there Windjammer - You might try poking around this site. Plenty of information available here. Of course pictures will help make the information that much more accurate. Hope this helps. Wind

Hey there Alnitak - I'm of the frame of mind that particle board has the structural integrity of wet Hostess Twinkies. Orientated Strand Board (OSB) also falls in this category. Some of the cheaper plywood is suspect. It may have voids in the inner plies that can be a problem, say for example one sh...

Wind

Hey there Alnitak – Trying to describe how to build your bench would be like trying to answer the question “How big is a dog”. I would be willing to pitch in some suggestions. I’ll throw in some pictures of mine to maybe help illustrate what I’m talking about. I have been using this bench for thirty...

Hey there Jason - This whole duck and goose hunting thing is a matter of elevating your learning curve. There has been a tremendous amount of good advice given in the previous responses. I've got hours of squatting in a muddy blind, wading around in water over my waders trying to recover decoys, lay...

Hey there Chuck - Here is some information out of the Laser-Cast loading handbook. Hope it helps. Best regards. Wind

Kim - Whit sent me that picture too. I think it was the Sunday after the match in Riverside. There's a cougar killing cattle across the highway from me. Would love to get a pix of him. He can apparently jump a barbed wire fence with a yearling in his mouth. Let's be careful out there... Wind

Wind

Hey there TedH - I would suspect you've got a good case of copper fouling. I have a .257 Ackley Improved that whistles an 87 grain bullet out there right now!! After three shots the accuracy goes from 1/2 Minute of Angle at 300 yards to 4 to 6 inches. I have been using a product available from Midwa...

Wind

Hey there flounderjig - I'm a huge fan of the Laser-Cast 158 grain round nose flat point bullet. They are pretty much my all around .357 bullet and I've shot them by the tens of thousands. When I lived in Seattle, I would really pee the UPS guy off cuz he would have to pack 5,000 to 10,000 up the st...

Wind

Hey everyone - Not only did Whit get his limit of turkeys (10 for 10) with his Marlin Mountie, he turned right around and did it AGAIN with his Marlin '94 in 45 colt. Very impressive shooting. There was no shortage of grins. Kim shot very well also. He of course is a responsible adult with a job tha...

Hey there 1988rrc - Washington state has a well deserved reputation for being wet, especially during hunting season(s). I've worn a pair of Beans upland game type chaps for wildrose and other nasty vegetation protection for 30+ years. Wearing them outside the boots has also kept me dry through tall ...

Wind

Hey there Shawn - There is a little spring loaded lever IN the pin that pushed through and allows you to uncrew the magazine tube. It has a hook in the end that prevents the pin from coming out. It may be hard to see, but by pushing it in with a small screwdriver will allow the pin removal. Then the...

Hey there jnyork - I too have a Toyota pick up. 231,000+ miles and have replaced a starter motor and just recently the water pump. It's fifteen years old. Maybe an alternative would be to get the wife a new rig and keep yours. Have a few essential spare parts on hand and let'r rip. Getting caught wi...

Wind

Hey there Ben - I'd forget about the rifle and try and get a bale of whatever they're smoking. Asking $4000 with no barrel or forearm??? It's gotta be good stuff. Just Wind launching an opinion. Best regards.

Wind

Hey there AmBraCol - I certainly do appreciate the time you guys put into the forum. Thanks. Things on my end have been seeing some improvement. I'm not sure if I've been able to work around some of the issues of the past, or if the "software" has changed some. I'm not back to 100% but han...

Hey there COSteve - I don't think you can have to many rifles, just to few racks or safes. Nice solution. Best regards. Wind

Wind

Hey Kid - Here's some of the six pounders I had on a schooner I skippered back in the 90's. They work great on those pesky jet skiers. You'll need to increase your powder budget too (providing getting a cannon doesn't result in a divorce!!). Hopefully more help (enabling), Wind

Wind

Hey there Kid - This is a site I've been drooling over for years. I think it's in your neck of the woods too. If you've got a few extra bucks would you get me the smaller Parrott gun. I'll let you shoot it!! Hope this helps (one step closer to a divorce??). Best regards. Wind http://www.steencannons...

BlaineG and Grizz - It would be good to see ya!! I've got 1200 yards at MY place. I only use the gun club for trap and silhouette. Makes it alot less complicated that way with regards to other shooters. We shoot the distances we want to, and then wander out to see how we did. The only thing I ask is...

Wind

Hey there Grizz AND BlaineG - Yes indeedy!! I know it can be done and admire those individuals just bent enough always seeing "how far...". If there was a How Far City, I'd be the Mayor!! Come on over, we'll shoot the match, load up on pizza, and come on up here an take a run at the 300 ya...

Wind

Hey there BlaineG - The basic premise is iron sights, no optics. The rear sight can be a barrel mounted leaf, receiver mounted, or tang sight. The front sight must be a post/bead design. It can be an insert in a globe type front sight. As far as a .22 revolver, at the ram distance of a 100 yards, I'...

Hey there Whit - Hunting season opened on match day last year. That's why there was no match in October. This year it opens the weekend after (the third Saturday) so we'll be having a match on the second Saturday (the 10th). It will be the last .22 and pistol caliber match. Actually really looking f...

Wind

Hey there Grizz - For the .22 match, any tube fed rifle is OK. We see mostly levers, alot of pumps, a few auto loaders, and I believe there are a few tube fed bolt guns out there. Standard velocity ammunition should be fine, although I use a "standard plus" variety. Bring a couple boxes an...

Wind

Whit (and anyone wanting to try silhouette) - The globe front sight IS legal. It just needs to have a post type insert. I had been experimenting with sight pictures relating to odd shaped targets (boys and girls - how do we spell silhouette??) and left it inserted. I'm also a big fan of flat topped ...

Wind

Vall - Haven't seen Geoff for several months. I've been driving my '76 Land Cruiser so there will be at least one red rig at the range!! Kim - It sure would be good to have you back up again. October will be the last double match. .22 and pistol caliber. It would be great if you could make it. I've ...

Wind

Hey Whit - It's always a pleasure to shoot with you, even when you're a little gimpy. The pistol caliber match went well too. The only real glitch was that you were feeling so poorly that we couldn't stop for pizza after the match. Oh, and the circle insert in the Redfield is totally illegal!! It mu...

Hey there shaneroyce - I'm gonna stay sitting on the fence with regards to the Marlin or Winchester choices. I would suggest getting a laser etching on the stock or forearm of the rifle you choose. Something specific to each child. Name and birth date or something like that. You can ship the stock(s...

Wind

Hey there redbeardinntx - As well as checking out all the above, another thing you can do to increase your magazine capacity is to shorten the magazine spring. I try to order in a replacement, save the original, and then nip a few coils off the replacement. Trial and error 'til you like it. Dependin...

Hey doc - Is Wildblue (or any satellite company) your Internet Service Provider? These are basically similar to the issues I've been having for awhile and we are still trying to figure the (common link) cause. People I've had try posting etc. on this forum, using Wildblue as an ISP, WILL have these ...

Hey (what's up) Doc!! - Good idea and nice job. If you do get a wild hair and want to do several sight "adjustments", aluminum works just like wood in certain respects. With a jig, and holder for the sight base, you can run them through a router with a "core box" cutter and accom...

Hey there Nath - I've got a Remington Model 17 which was produced from about 1920-1 to 1934. Remington didn't sell them by the truck loads, so sold the rights to Ithaca in 1934. Ithaca changed the name to the Model 37 and sold them by the kazillions. Maybe different marketing (?). They are a light a...

Hey there sore shoulder - The other thing you can do is cut a shim and put under the sight dovetail base. Get a chunk of soda can (aluminum) and cut a wedge shaped piece just smaller than the dovetail and twice as long (wide). Start your shim in the dovetail, and start the sight dovetail in on top o...

Hey there casastahle - Seems to me there are two options. Shoot it or not. I won't shoot other peoples reloads as a matter of principle. Some of the older stuff I'd be inclined to pull, save the brass, and roll your own. If some of it can be ruled "factory" it's either collectible (?) or a...

Hey there KirkD - I don't know if you intend to use smokeless or black powder, so I won't comment on lube. I had a 32-40 show up on my doorstep recently and shooting a hard cast plain base bullet sized to .322 was a dismal failure. The bore is questionable, no MAJOR pitting, a little rough and gray,...

Hey there Sixgun - Bummer on the rain dude!! Here in Washington State we wear these nifty "umbrella hats" when shooting in the rain. Very stylish!! If it's raining and windy, you risk ending up on your back. Think muzzle control as you are going over... Silhouette shooting is certainly a c...

Hobie - Yep, still plenty of issues. Sometimes a dozen attempts to get a post to "take". Pictures are a real problem, either posting or seeing them again after posting. Heeelllppp!! Best regards, Wind
