    Shooting into water barrel

    Idea is too recover bullets and inspect them after they have been shot. Have a bullet puller.

    What is the best sharpener for knives and scissors

    Arkansas double sided whetstone has worked fine for me for over 35 years on everything from chisels, plane knives, broadheads, pocket knives and hunting knives. It takes a bit to learn how to correctly use one but the satisfaction of a fine edge is well worth it. I used to be able to shave...

    Cycling issues with cast bullets

    The rounds seat in the chamber fine but some do not make it to the chamber. They do not seem to hit the "the ramp a running" and go into the chamber. It is almost as if the SWC geometry is hitting the ramp flat and causing it to go awry?

    Cycling issues with cast bullets

    I have done a lot of reloading but not with cast bullets. I am having cycling issues. I had been reloading Berry's 115 RN plated 9mm with Unique (ran out of and not available near me) and now with Bullseye OL is 1.158. Both ran fine no problems in Sig P226 and P250 and S&W mod. 59. I was...
