Hunting locally, my rifle 3 rounds of ammo, hunting knife with 4" drop point blade, compass in the flat woods, binocular, water bottle, snake leggin's before the first heavy frost, cell phones and GPS's seldom get a signal in the heavy hardwoods around here, so I elect to leave them home, PB&J...

One of the best deer calibers out there, I had one in the Remington classics and like a fool, sold it I later bought a Remington custom shop .260, poor accuracy, even after several trips back to the custom shop, no'mo .260s for this old man, but I do have a like new set of RCBS .260 dies I could...

Everyone has their own regiment, I clean mine after each range trip, whether I shot 10 or 110 rounds. It'd be kinda like putting a baby to bed with a dirty diaper to not clean after use.:D

xring44, thats a beautiful rifle, more pics? Yep, a couple:D Oops, wrong rifle, later

I built that, its two pieces of 6" channel fitted to form a box, the angles were to allow clearance, for the ram stroke, inside is a small plastic box that catches the spent primers. I built the bench also as a island affair, it permits working all the way around it, consolidates alot of...

Hummm, Rifle Sorry guys, no shotgun pics.:neener:

Here's a couple of shots of my loading room

Some good advise offered here, I agree completely, especially with the one powder only on the bench at all times. You're lesson cost you far less than mine. I once mixed a full hopper of reloader 19 with a 8 pound jug of Varget, stupid:( I was going to pour up the reloader 19, and fill the...

I could go if I wanted too:what: of course I'd have to sell my house, my truck and my dog, I AIN'T selling my dog!::fire:

Extractor rod is coming unscrewed. Pull the hammer back to where the cylinder will turn, then turn it backward while trying to hold pressure against the side of the ejector rod. What you need to do is screw it back in far enough to allow the cylinder latch to push the locking pins in all...

It is truely amazing, this web site I mean. I can't imagine how much easier learning to load would have been if I had had access to this much knowledge when I started loading in the 60s.

I was once just like you, the only experience I had had with the 1911 was in basic training in the military. The ones I shot there were mostly worn out and rattled when shook, but they did go bang every time you pulled the trigger. My days in Law Enforcement saw only revolvers, model 27s, model...

You're going to love the ,45 ACP revolver, I have a S&W 25-2 that is superbly accurate, it can be fired without the moon clips, I lighten up on the crimp a tad and normally the emptys will fall out. I also have a .45 ACP in a Ruger Blackhawk, its also very accurate and requires little to no...

By far the finest recoil operated semi-auto shotgun ever produced IMO I got my first one in the late 50s, it was a sweetie, like an idiot, I sold it, lifes been downhill since then!::(

I have the .45 ACP/.45 Colt Ruger Blackhawk. If self defense is not on the menu for the pistol/revolver, I'd highly reccomend this single action revolver. Mine has the 7 1/2" barrel, ajustable sights and is extremely accurate. If it came with better sights it would be awesome. Fun gun to shoot!!!
