    22 ammo sticker shock

    Ouch. Same supplier and same ammo I bought 6 months ago and it has more than doubled. Almost as bad as a Big Mac in California. Ouch.

    Ruger Mark ll mag loader

    I bought my Mark ll in the early 80's but never shot it that much. Retired and shooting more now and that mag button gets hard on my wimpy thumb. I have Uplula's for my 1911's but have not clue on where to start to find a good mag loader for the Mark ll.

    PCPS priming die

    This came in the mail today. Although I don't have a lot of brass available to prime right now (caught up) I found a couple of cases to play with. Machining and fit on this tool is excellent. Ginex LR primers don't have a chance against a T7 with this die. Seating effort is effortless and smooth...

    New base for my Wilson trimmer.

    Went from this: To this I got today: Giant Creedmore label aside and the price it's well worth the money. Heavy duty enough that it doesn't need clamping to a table.

    New at annealing question

    I have never annealed and just ordered my first annealer. The annealer has a timer for the the length time heat is applied to each case. How do I determine the length of time. Do I need to order temp sticks?

    Hornady Head Space Comparater

    Trying to figure out if I need one or not. Never used one. If my cases pass a case gauge and chamber easily why would one be needed?

    Metric primers?

    Every now and then I will run across reloading information talking about metric primers. I am trying to figure out if there is any difference between metric and standard primers.

    Cheap Hobby lathe

    I have been looking at them for help with reloading and polishing. Not for chasing threads, turning tapers or anything that sophisticated. Under $200.00. And understand very well that may not be possible.

    Sharped some kitchen knives today

    Kitchen knives needed touched up. I never realize how dull they are until I use them the first time after sharpening. They are VG-10 and hold an edge for a while.

    Sheridan Blue Streak

    I have had a Sheridan Blue Streak for decades. Tack driver for sure in it's time. It is old enough now that it won't hold pressure when pumped. Are there rebuild kits available for it?

    Cotton gun cleaning clothe

    A few years ago I bought a couple of yards of cotton lint free clothe from an online fabric store for gun cleaning that I really liked. About out now. Like a dummy I don't remember the source. Any suggestions would be welcome.

    CCI 22LR Poly-Coated bullets

    While looking around for something else I came across these 22 LR LR shells with a Poly coated bullet. Has anyone tried these? Are they worthwhile? https://www.cci-ammunition.com/rimfire/cci/clean-22/6-934CC.html

    New grips for my K22

    I have large hands and the OEM grips (top photo) were simply too small. Gun flopped around in my hands. Got some new grips (bottom photo) from Altamount today and these fit my hands much better. Feels like a different gun altogether. Hopefully this weather breaks soon and I can try them out.

    S&W K22 Masterpiece maintenance

    May late father-in-law gave me this pistol decades ago and I have kept it stored. Being retired now I want bring it out of storage and start shooting it. It needs a good cleaning. I am having a hard time finding any information on disassembly for cleaning and am looking for any books or links...

    Getting a beam scale at eye level

    I have two reloading stations. One is a 600 pound bench with my Dillon 550 on it and the other, for my precision rifle reloading. is a heavy wooden desk. For decades I have used a beam scale on a desk hunkering down to get eye level with the scale pointer. Tried web cams and IPhone magnifiers...

    Tuning a RCBS 10-10 scale

    I like balance beam scales. To be more specific I like RCBS 10-10 scales. There is a gentleman in the reloading circles that will tune a RCBS 10-10 balance beam to read within (1) kernel of powder for a fee. He will not tune a 10-10 that's not made in the USA. I sent him photos of my 10-10 and...

    Reorganizing my reloading stuff

    I have been reloading for 50+ years, moved (4) times, and never really organized my stuff. Basically worked out of boxes more or less all these years. Lot of stuff. And yes I do have (2) of some things. So I retired this spring and one of my goals was to have an organized reloading area. I...

    Dream Knife

    Not a huge knife fan but do appreciate good knives. My dream knife would be a Bob Loveless. Looking at the prices it wouldn't be hard to understand. Decades ago I could have bought one for about $400. 00 but $400.00 was a lot of money back then. It would have been cheaper than the 2.5K they are...

    Powder, primers, and FedEx rant

    Just a small rant. FedEx requires a signature for powder and/or primers whereas UPS does not. I got burned on this once. Waited for FedEx on the promised delivery date and at the last minute they postponed delivery until the next day. So I waited by the front door the second day and while...
