    Substitute for case lube?

    The case lube I use is a spray mix that has alcohol and lanilin in it. It comes in a push spray bottle and gpoes a long way. Got it at midway in a 10oz bottle. spray on in the loading blocks and it works great. Evaporates and is very dry in seconds.

    black powder substitute for 45 colt revolver

    Been shooting these now for a couple of weeks and the fun is absurd. I was usually at the range with the cap and ball crowd down there at the end channels making smoke and authoritative noise. Now I have joined them and really appreciate the slow push of black powder style ignitions and the...

    Would you trust your life to a .38 special?

    Having relied on a 38 to do the job once, I would do it again. What made the difference for me was that the 38 was loaded up to max .357 velocity and loaded with not one, but two 100 grain (stacked) wadcutters. It was the bear....or me....The bear LOST!

    saw the same "old coot" out at the range last night. You are right on your analysis. He and I went head to head and he consistently beat me on 50 yard pistol range. He kicked my ass. I even at one point asked if he wanted to shoot my handloads and he said sure. He then proceeded to rerally wipe...

    Does brass go bad?

    dozens of loads and only discard splits. Got a set of about 10000 45 cal ACP brass cases from a shooter that claimed he got them from his dad in 1940. Polish up a new batch for each season and shoot em till the neck slits force me to throw them away. The key thing is to always full length size...
