Earlier I was looking at a few old Ideal Reloading Guides. I knew most of the powders used in the recipes. All but one that is. Around 1951 there was a popular home reloading powder called (Lightning) Does anyone know? or have any information their willing to share concerning the powder called...

In killing time while in her SUV today. I being her driver while she was returning a couple Christmas presents for the need of a bigger size for me or a smaller size or color for her. I thought back to a time when I first started deer hunting and those first deer rifles I was loaned. But since...

Looking for a bit of info on Marlins X7 series. Don't know of anyone who has one but as read in Marlins advertizements. It sounds like a pretty nice rifle. {lots of nice things already done to it by its factory personnel} Thinking of ordering one in 270 or perhaps a 308 maybe. {Their X7 model.}...

Every year same Ol' same Ol'. Salt, fold & bag that furry deer hide up in the Bone Castle's garage. Tote it 250 plus miles back to the 'Ole Homestead. Next day drop it off at a local gas station for a free pair of buckskin gloves that hardly ever fit. Maybe a few suggestions here would help...

I commented on this thread (just behind) the fellow who makes these homemade bullets. How do you fellows suppose He goes about doing that with 45 ACP brass?_:confused: {I know He said swagging but I wonder if this could be done on a single stage press?} I also wonder if He were to anneal first...

I'm so use to trailing deer after daylight hours with a flashlight its almost second nature to me after all these years. Let me be clear on this activity. "The deer are hardly, if ever mine." Neighbors sometimes need help. Thus a call on their cell gets my attention as I'm always willing to...

There sure is a bunch of handy dandy cutlery sold these days. Swing blade ones. Interchangeable razor blade type gismo's. And gosh a ton of custom one of a kind made one's too. But as things are until I find something better. I'm still using my old chrome plated Wyoming knife and a EKA wooden...

I took a ride up to my hunting shack a couple weeks ago. Just to see how thing are. Just a yearly check of the usual since deer season is almost here. I wanted to see if my LP gas tank is still there and didn't develop legs since last hunting season {and simply walk away.} And the absolute need...

FWIW. When at the Bench Rest area of my Club Range. Just tinkering with my 30-30 a couple days ago. I met a couple nice fellows enjoying their day like I was. Occasionally we three would get to talk'en while walking down range to change out our targets. And again on our coffee breaks. One fellow...

Went to the Range yesterday. Since I have a traveling bag I can reload right on the spot. (<That helps) Had some IMR 4198-- A-A-2230 & A-2400 along and a fair amount 311041s G/C in a baggie resized/lubed to .311 and a mitt full of old Win 170 gr. coveted Silver Points. My plan was to build...

Got a 54 T/C renegade here. I notice it has a overly tight ram rod channel. Or perhaps a little warp'ness or something going on in there. Just how do you fellows go about resolving that kind of circumstance?

My football team lost their game. After watching the team players leave the field for the last time. I was reeling with displeasure. What a bunch of BUMS!! I needed a pick-me-up gents. And quick!! Somehow yesterday I couldn't think of anything else that could do it for me other than. Yes Sir I...

I've read overtime here and there on different web sites that a few fellows had used buffing/grinding compound to de-burr their B/P rifles bore with. I assume doing so helped its accuracy or perhaps the barrels reload-ability. For those in the know would/could you recommend doing that too all...

When reading my local paper this AM. I took notice of an article. In 2001 there were approximately 30 High School young adults throughout this State that belonged to their schools sponsored Trap League. In 2013 there are now 3400 High School young adults belonging to their High Schools sponsored...

Again I had to much time on my hands. Being retired that happens allot. I was sitting in my recliner looking out (my) window at my vast 75' wide estate and daydreaming about Shotgun Chokes of all things. Question: Could something as small in length like a {Rifled} Interchangeable Choke have...

While at work or at home we usually stay focused on what's happening around us. But there are times we just need to tune everything out. How many times a day do you fine yourself Thinking or day-dreaming about. >Being in the woods, field, or blinds, including unusual events that took place...

Curious. I wonder. Has anyone tried to glass bed a inline style of rifle? 2. If so who's brand of rifle/model did you do it too? 3. Any tricks of the trade you could share? 4. When completed was there an improvement in its overall accuracy seen? 5. Are there any Web Links available for...

I know my area during B/P deer season is aflood with inline usage. Its a good thing as those inline hunters move the deer around for everyone. There are no draw backs as of yet. All of us no matter what we carry through the woods now for the time being have to use open barrel sights in this...
