this one dos. she loves magnums and has 3 M29s during a lull in conversation, she asks me when are we going shooting again.. this is the girl that reloads her own signed: happy old gun owner

2.8 grains of Bullseye has been THE load for lots of decades. as many lot numbers have gone by, i would use that for a starter load. as a rule of thumb, vertical stringing is an indicator of too much of a load as horiaontal stringing is of a weak lopad. some of this could be attributed to...

fine w/me

after a report like this one, the need for a separator is getting strong. however, most of my reloading is of big straightwall pistol rounds and i just get a few from the media and shake them a little. i size and deprime before cleaning, checking the primer hole before putting them in the...

i keep at least 200 rds of everything i shoot on hand, so far, that seems enough, but, diff ppl have diff needs. you will just have to do a little record keeping, but, keep enough backup for "emergencies". to each his own.

what can we say but: seeya later at that happy shooting range in the sky

did you make a buy - yep. is it a good investment - yep. it is already worth way more than you paid. every day that passes, the value goes up. in a decade, yours will be the only one for sale in the box and in that condition. then in another year, you will be kicking yourself as look what...

i was in San Antonio in the 60s for a pistol tournament. i asked a local where the Alamo was. go to this street and turn left. k, i did that and drove to the edge of town. no alamo. i stopped at a gas station and asked. i went back the way i came, watching on my right and there it was. i...

my big, and old, Dillon case cleaner was hammering away like a semi on jake brake one afternoon and i was thumbing through Cabela's shooting and reloading catalog, i saw the RCBS case cleaner was on sale for fifty bucks with a twenty buck coupon. that made it cheap indeed. what really grabbed...

Why Bother

i have managed a few overuns and the brass is super cleab and shiny, sometimes too slick to pick up. but, it sure is nice

i too would reccomend the AMU publication. AMU has produced more top shooters than the rest combined. after reading everything there is, you will realize that the underlying factor is the same in them. it all comes down to grip, stance, sight picture and trigger control. of these, trigger...
