I like the Lee Hand Press, it was the first thing I bought (I wanted to understand the process better before choosing a press). Someday it will be my only press, when I no longer have the space for a full setup. One thing I have been thinking about, but haven't done yet; if you mount it on the wall ...

I got a bunch of taps from Midway after the last gunsmith debacle, so at least I'll be prepared.

El Chivo

I only worry when I see flakes on the cleaning patch.

El Chivo

Mine are more accurate than 30-30.

El Chivo

I have one that won't stay in.

Wanna swap?

I'm totally serious. Maybe they will both be a perfect fit.

The cost goes away, and the knife is yours. For me, no, the job can be done with another knife. I like my K-bar hunting knives with leather wrapped handles, $25-35.00. BUT if I were really into knives, if it was my "thing", and my identity was wrapped up in it, it would not be too much. If...

John, are you saying a revolver can only take 15,000 psi? Ok, what is that in copper units, 16,000? It seems to me that factory ammo, ok for either rifles of handguns, would be in the 30,000 range, maybe 40,000. I have a hard time even finding a load in a book that's under 20,000. Am I missing somet...

if you want to talk detonation, how about the guy who didn't know how to read his scale, and loaded 38 special cases with 30 grains of Bullseye (compressed) instead of 3.0 grains? --------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm reading up on this on the Internet, and some a...

Well, I'm ecstatic; I have been meaning to get out of the stock market for the year, so I did - on Tuesday. Now stocks are plunging and for once I'm not getting hurt. Earned myself a nice levergun in two days!

El Chivo

If U can take the Lever out surely U can replace the cartridge stop or repair as neccessary. Just My 2 cents, didn't cost nobody nuthin but could save some money. Perry I agree with Perry, just order the part and replace it, I think it's $15.00. I've had mine out and worked on it, if yours is worn ...

Any powder that fails to fill the case properly runs the risk of positional-powder-high-pressure.......Remote possibility that that is..... I have read and heard that that's BS. Tell me how 2.5 grains of Bullseye fills the case? The Lee Manual will tell you that loads leaving more space in the case...

I wouldn't worry about it too much; sometimes things can just get away from you. The last time I got drunk was about six years ago, I was at home, watching Gettysburg on the 4th of July weekend. It was a nice night, screen doors were open, I was playing along with the soundtrack, and swilling beers....

a friend bought primers yesterday for $37.73 with discount.

I had a recent experience with Midway, which worked out in my favor. I ordered a scope and rings, the scope was "free shipping", and the rings went along in the box without a shipping charge. I didn't like the color match and returned the scope, and they didn't have a suitable replacement....

paper patching seems like a nice idea, but it sounds pretty labor intensive.

El Chivo

Paco had an article with something interesting. I think it was a 30-30 trick. You want hard cast for your barrel and soft cast for game. So you cast your own bullets, and when they are hot you quench them in cold water. This hardens them. But, you quench only the base, and you don't quench the tips....

El Chivo

Not a Hobie gun without an FP.

El Chivo

deform how? Do you mean deforming the base to seal the bore at the moment of ignition? Or do you mean expanding in game? The first issue is why you can get leading with hard cast that is pushed too slow. That's what I got with Lasercast and 10 gr 2400. I increased it to a max load of 13 gr 4227 (whi...

El Chivo

and I thought this was another for the tribute forum

El Chivo

I use Lasercast 180's in that same rifle, and no leading. The max load gives you about 1300 fps I think. The Lasercast is hard lead; if you push them too slow they DO lead the bore. About the paper gas checks, couldn't hurt. I've been thinking about trying flame-retardant paint, just paint on gas ch...

The distance from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Paris, Kentucky is approximately 203.6 miles (327.7 km).

Joe, I guess for you it ought to have a spell-checker built right in with it.

El Chivo

I thought somebody on the internet ought to have the mileage between cities, well, they do: http://www.symsys.com/mileage/index.php Handy and cool, might be nice for planning hunting trips, too. I'll have to see how small a city has to be before it's not listed. Here's one I tried: The distance from...

Well, I may go back home to be closer to family. They're all in Cincinnati, but Indiana would be close enough, and might have more employment opportunities for me. About the latter, Evansville seemed to have a lot of places I could work, Indianapolis also. Northern Kentucky is also a possibility. I'...

there's a lot going on for the hunter at the moment of the shot, they may just miss the noise while concentrating on other things. I have a little ringing on one side, because I fired when I was in a stone canyon. Even though I was "outside", I might as well have been in a small room as fa...

if I were you I'd get one with an adjustable objective so you can focus on something other than 100 yards away. Recently I was offered my friend's Contender with a scope racked up to 9x and at 200m the rams were blurry. If zooming up the power, it will be nice be able to focus in sharply, and it wil...

El Chivo

Those loads sound a little hot for best accuracy. I got very good accuracy in the same rifle with 10 grains of 2400.

I switched to IMR 4227. With 158's, 12.5 grains is the most accurate. My best loads are well under the max. I figure, if I need velocity, use a rifle cartridge.

El Chivo

Well, the bullets in question are jacketed, they are the 35 Rem 200 grain jacketed, with the long blunt nose. Still it sounds like I'm ok, as I'm about 3 grains under the max, that's almost ten percent. If the extra space in the case is considered, there's even more room to play with. Also consider ...

El Chivo

I'd take a gander at it

El Chivo

35 Rem loads have always worked pretty well for me, Remington factory and my own with Sierra bullets were accurate. I tried the Hornady bullets and noticed they sit farther forward than the Sierras if I crimp to the mark. This increases the overall length, leaving more room in the case and also the ...

El Chivo

sure, if you can count on your target to be 150 yards or closer; those bolt guns ventilate targets at 300-400 yards.

El Chivo

See better - shoot better. I shoot about the same sized groups with scope or iron sights, BUT that assumes optimum conditions. Scopes are better for low light and that's what I use them for. I was offered a friend's rifle to shoot a few, and he had a scope set to 9x and the target range 200 meters....

El Chivo

Funny but I've never thought of a 38-55 as having a long barrel. Seems like it should be a carbine length thing.

It might be that Leverguns is just more stubborn than other sites; it takes making an effort to get through sometimes.

shooting with a camera, it adjusts the exposure, so whatever scope you have it will create the same brightness for the pic. It can also make moonlight look like high noon. You can also take this pic and make it as bright as you want with software. If you shoot two pictures with the same exposure set...

First, I want to re-iterate that I had this idea a long time ago, and although I have had no contact with the inventors, the idea is completely and entirely mine. That being said, small handy spotting scopes that fit in a sock will never be obsolete - the demise of good optics, film cameras, monocul...

Yes, you can. Try an inconspicuous spot first, though. "Synthetic" ivory varies considerably in composition, some is more "chippy" and fragile, some is softer, some harder, and so forth. As has been alluded to, some melts more readily. Most of the stuff I've used takes a nice po...

Have you consulted your dermatologist? Seriously, I would try smoke - it would expose any other holes, and suffocate them. Water would just soak in to the earth and create larger tunnels and mud. You'd have to come up with a way to make smoke and pump it in there though. You know what might be inter...

Thanks, that's a good idea. I have problems with dust at work and have been coughing a lot, even at home. It could be that whatever dust I have in my carpet is exacerbating the condition; this might be worth a try.
