You say that like it's a bad thing. I thought it would work with copper fouling if left to soak, but I don't shoot much copper.

This pewter tray would not melt for me. I put a lot of heat to it. I even torched it directly and it would not melt. Any idea why?

Being reptiles, I would think they are hard to kill. Seems you'd want something like a Stinger out of a 22 in order to anchor them. Unless you didn't mind if they ran off and died under your shed...

I like being higher in the tree than the deer is from the base when I plug 'em. It's rare I don't see where they land.;)

I buy those tubes of basil paste at Aldi's then I freeze them. They don't freeze solid. I'm able to slice off what the recipe needs.
If you don't freeze them you have to use them up in a couple...

Thought I was the only one who used the 311284 in a 30-30. I've only used it unmodified. It does ok out of my TC rifle barrel. Haven't tried it powder coated yet. Just lubed and gas checked. ...

Something that has made a noticeable improvement with my Rossi 357 is to size my powder coated boolits upside-down so the base enters the Lee push die first. Doing them nose first left a thin skirt...

I've got a Rossi, too.
You almost have to expect to do some work on them. But yes, it's my most fun rifle.

Can you quickly grind the rice in a coffee grinder to get smaller particles that would act like grits?
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Same here. Steel 6's will go right through a dove. I don't like biting down on shot. Steel 6's have become my preferred dove load. For squirrel I like an ounce of #4 steel in a 20 gauge.

You guys that size before and after: Do you have any die leading problems when sizing uncoated bullets?

Thanks for sharing the link. This is not far from where I live. I wonder if there is some way to take a tour. My niece and her husband live in Herculaneum.

What are you suppose to squirrel hunt with?
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Only about 95% of the time. And I don't tumble. If it's really bad it gets the warm water, lemon juice, salt, and Dawn treatment.

My first gun was a Savage 24, 22/410. Still have it and use it. IDK how many times I meant for one barrel to go off and the other one does. Operator error.

Same here, but I also have the RN but it is a 2 cavity. It performs just as well and I really like it, too.

I've done this for years, but added salt, also. It works instantly. Is there a reason people don't use salt?
