Guess for some of you this might not be too out of the ordinary...but, it is in my neck of the woods. Back in September of '95, on first weekend of the fall Turkey season I was up and out early on an unusually warm early morning. As the sun rose over the horizon the temperature continued rising to w...

Any ideas gents??? I do not wear spandex or those goofy helmets. Wear the goofy helmet - We don't want to lose ya. Seriously. As for the spandex - there is a reason for it. But to each his own. You can find pretty much any kind of bike ever made on the net at auctions these days. But it sound to me...

Hey...my planned goal for this summer is to start using my bike. Not the one with the engine...the Schwinn High Plains. It is like new, but...can not keep the rims straight. Constantly breaks spokes too. So time for a new one. Do they make any like the old cruisers, only with multiple gears, a full ...

Waiting for one in the Special Sporting Rifle-short, they still do not offer it.

Six, tell your buddy I'll give a hundred bucks for it right Figure that and a couple of WIC checks should cover it. You got it Old Time! Knowing Tommy, he probably wants it as a Ben Franklin.

Most excellent! Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding, Thanks Pete!

Double check the twist rates though for the 44 Mag and 444 pertaining to the Winchester 94, believe they are not 1-38.

I drive with the goal to always have an escape route... I try to avoid packs of vehicles around me... I want as much room as possible, front, rear, and both sides! . "Always leave an out." This was preached when I took drivers training in the 70's. It was and is part of my driving strateg...

Well when I was a kid...a lot of the boys and a few of the girls would bring both toy and real rifles (most were decommissioned, no firing pins), along with military helmets, web belts, khakis, and such to play war during the lunch hour. Can't remember anyone getting in trouble, heck...one of the te...

Earl, found two cans of HiVel#2 unopened. Do you have any data on the stuff? Wow! 2 unopened cans! Some collector should take those off your hands. But yes I do have some data for HiVel#2, but only for cast bullets as it is in my Lyman "Handbook of Cast Bullets" dated 1958. It is very ver...

Absolutely correct! They might see your shadow, but try and imagine the stress the driver is going through.

Thanks for the picture Tutt, have always wanted to see the inside of the BLR. Just never got around to it.

My suspicions have been validated, it is a gear driven M95 Steyr bolt assembly.

I think that an increase in caliber to 6.5mm would be an excellent upgrade.

Hmmm...Swede's had it right all along.

I bought a pair of Sorel Caribou's (big heavy pac boots with a felt liner) Good boots...don't fit well in the modern snow shoes though.

I think the Savage M24 is a good choice. New ones like the one here look to be only available in .410 under 22lr or 22mag. https://s3.amazonaws.com/savagefiles/firearms/models/900/WC1cjTRpy_4t2fho1KW.png However, used guns are more caliber diverse. 22LR/20 Gauge (My choice) .22WMR/20 Gauge .22 Horn...

They are lovely to look at. But then, so are movie starletts... but from all indications, they require some pretty high maintenance.

Yep - give me a couple extra Octobers, then go right to January or February, and get some real cold, without the humidity and sleet.

This winter...and it is still dragging on...and on, and on, has really taken it's toll on me.

2400, Unique, H110, H4198, and H4895...primarily use the Unique, H4198, and the H4895 as I can load everything I have with those.

I must be letting them cool too long. When I try and pop them out of the cake, the lube flakes off the grooves leaving voids.

Do either of you warm the bullets up first? Friend says that is the key for him.

Lots of interesting rifles from CZ. I have a CZ 550 American that I just adore. What is unusual about the CZ rifles is the set trigger. Very nice triggers and excellent for target shooting. Check out this one as an example. Guaranteed MOA to 600 yards. http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/cz-ultimat...

Doc, got a twin to my Browning 1886, some day I will have time to shoot this one too...

Old Time Hunter

Anyone have a clean, easy way of pan lubing without making a mess and getting good coverage?

Especially with SPG, never seem to get it right. End up hand rubbing each bullet after the hardened SPG falls off as I pull them from the tray.

Is your final step running them through the sizer again?
