In light of the other thread about the price of lead I am wondering if you can smelt the lead plates from car batteries and cast them into ingots. The ingots would be easier and safer to store than car batteries and easier to use for casting. Are the plates of a decent hardness for bullets...

I am about out of WLR (Winchester Large Rifle) Primers. I have a 1000 Winchester Magnum Rifle Primers. Is it acceptable/safe to use Magnum primers in regular loads (IMR4895/.30-06 and IMR3031/.45-70)? I understand that If I try this I need to start at the bottom powder weight and work up...

I am ready to start working up loads for my 7-30 Waters Contender. The Speer Book 13th Ed. states the C.O.L. should be 2.550. What do you guys use for C.O.L? I think that I should be able to use a longer length. Using Hornady 120 grn .284 HPs I set the length to 2.55" and it looked odd...

I have recently joined the ranks of the Evil Black Rifle owners and I can see a need to start reloading .223 in bulk. What type of lube do you use for doing .223 in a progressive (RL-550b)? Normally I reload on a single stage for rifle calibers and my steps are: Tumble Check case length...

I have a Colt pre-Woodsman and a Colt Huntsman that I inherited from my father. The Hunstman is pretty dirty and I would like to at least field strip it and clean it. I don't know how :( Does anybody have links to instructions or manuals for them? Or is there a simple procedure for field...

I am looking for pistol instruction in the Central AL area. I would like to start with a basic defense class and work up to more comprehensive classes. This state does not require a CCW class for your permit so there are not as many classes here. I have not found any local yet. I would also...

I got to shoot a friends 625 the other day and loved it! Are all 625's chambered for 45 LC and 45 ACP? Are they all stainless? Is there a standard barrel lenght? What will a used one run me? I don't have a DA wheel gun right now and this might just be the Gun! I would love a 625 in...

I have used Pyrodex RS and P for years. What is the difference between The subs and Pyrodex? Which is easier to clean up? (when I shoot both pistols with 4 cylinders it takes me about 2 hours to clean up after using pyrodex. 30 min or so with a rifle) How do the subs smoke compared to...

I was playing with my C&B pistols today. :D I was having trouble with getting the caps to stay on and it was taking forever to get the pistols capped. :banghead: My inline Cabela's capper won't fit the cylinders to cap so I am having to do each cap one at a time. :( My pistols are...

I have a circa 1998 Kimber 1911 officers model that I want new sights for. What sights are compatible with the Kimber rear sight dovetail? What sights are worth the money? Thanks in advance,

What oil or lube should I use for my C&B's? I have used wonder lube over the cylinders but I am wondering about preserving them between shootings. I am also wondering about keeping them running during a day at the range. As I understand it petroleum based oils create deposits and gum the...

I have an older Kimber officers model (~1998). It groups low and to the left either from a rest or off hand. It does this with winchester JHP and handloads of varying charges. My friends also shoot low and left with this pistol. It has fixed night sights installed on it from Kimber. I want to...
