    Free bullet molds

    Heart trouble runs in my fathers family as well. He complained that they cut him open to work on his heart so many times they should have put in a zipper! Still outmanovers me in the woods while hunting even though he's 87years old LOL.

    Loading Flat Bottom Bullets in .223 Cases

    I have a VLD expander that I use after I ream the inside of the neck. I open it just enough that the bullet will enter the mouth. Then I set the seater so that it removes any mouth expantion when seating the bullet. I feel doing it that way makes the bullet more concentric when seating flat...

    Free bullet molds

    Good on you gunny. I have several friends that I swap goodies with. Seem we all take turns on both ends and enjoy this immensely. Trouble is that the friend circle is getting smaller as I age!

    wood soaked on shotgun?

    I had a .22 that had been water soaked. Took the stock off and hung it upside down buy a buttplate screw in my boiler room above my boiler. My boiler runs 24/7 to heat my water. Left it there for a couple months and it came out OK. Had to refinish it but that's expected.

    Bulge in Browning SA22 Barrel

    I also have an old Savage bolt .22 that has a bulge about mid length on the barrel. It still shoots as accurate as my other .22 rifles. Got it used for next to nothing because of the bulge but previous owner had no idea how it happened.

    38-55 question

    Buy the rifle. Buy a couple boxes of the expensive ammo and shoot a box of it up. Then for the cost of a battel swap go buy a standard pre 64 origional in 30-30. Then find a new set of furnature to use in it if yours does not pass muster. So now you have a pair of collectable old winchesters. I...

    Huge Plastic Jugs

    Trouble is only a couple pounds left.:( I have seen none on the shelves since early 2018 or so and conserving like crazy. Got that and 2 jugs of Promo just literally weeks before the world went nuts. That and the last 3K primers Natchez had in stock then. I was just lucky.

    Tipping. What's your method and gear?

    Well my ammo shoots better without mangled bullets. They start out looking better so I KNOW they shoot better just because!!!

    Huge Plastic Jugs

    They also are conductive so no sparks. unlike the pictured Corn oil jug. Special purpose containers. I have an 8 pounder of Trail Boss. Three containers of 4064 will fit inside it, with room to spare LOL. As others have said, be happy you can even purchase many different propellants these...

    Tipping. What's your method and gear?

    The furthest I ever shoot is 500 YDS and as long as the bullet tips are not mangled the rifle can shoot better than I can. I have followed some of the posts myself and while some of the posters absoutly believe it helps I would be skeptical until I shot some good amount of standard ammo for...

    Load nodes question

    Well I test my loads for nodes both in hot and cold weather as well as for 68*-72*. Some propellants require seperate loads when shooting at extremes. Load center of node for what you expect the temp to be when shooting. It all gets down to how much effort you are willing to exert before...

    Ouch....lb of AA 4350

    Look around on line at say Powder Valley, or Natchez Shooters Supplies. An 8 pounder with HazMat and shipping should be less than buying at the LGS. In the past I always tried to maximize the 45 LB weight with propellant and primers, about 4 times a year. Now it looks like I stop at a grand a...

    RMR smiley recovered hard target.

    I have had many phone calls from my local post office asking me to stop at their loading dock to pick up some heavy boxes LOL. The postmistress is a shooting buddy of mine.

    RMR smiley recovered hard target.

    For what its worth this thread put a smile on MY face too. I plan on purchasing some of these as soon as I run out of my current stock.

    I don't understand Shotgun reloading recipes

    The above posters have covered things well. I am new to shotshell reloading as well. Been reloading metalic since 1968 or so. I have some brass 410 as well as several types of plastic hulls. They are indeed all made differently. I cut one of each down the middle and compared the internal volume/...
