After reading a few threads here and there. I've notice those who prefer a inline. Many say its their preference and/or their manufactures advice to use pre-measured compressed powder pellets in their rifle. Along with a suggested bullet. Which is fine and dandy. But those others who have...

Nothing to do so I and the 54 hawken took a ride this afternoon. We did a pretty good job of scenting the still air around us. Ran out of 2-FF in my Day Horn but luck as have it. I had a half can of Gorex 3-FFF under the front seat. Back in business so I thought. I poured the metered measure to...

You know how it goes fellows you dig thru your stash of "This and That stuff" looking for something. And end up having something else catch you eye. Well that's exactly what happen here yesterday. I found some 300 Savage brass. Nice new brass I didn't know I had squirreled away. Headstamp said...

Going to tool up for Spring here. Thinking of casting maybe 200ct 30 cal tips for the old (94) 30-30. I have the ability to G/check and a nice new .311 lube/sizer die required for the bore. Lyman is my first choice for molds. I know there are two bullet molds that Lyman sell primarily for the...

After 3-4 years. I decided it was time to look at my long term stored molds today. Glad I did. Most were dry of the Break Free Clp I liberally soaked them with and wrapped in Saran wrap. Outside of putting a mold or two in a jar full of oil. What is the best way you've found to prep your...

Quickie question tonight. Been doing a little reloading tonight to kill the evening. I have a RCBS 505 beam scale. Have had it quite a few years. And I've never cleaned its balance supports points. I just took notice the scales balance beam is getting sticky upon measuring level. Question: Just...

Since B/P Big Game hunting has been getting more & more popular every year in this State as may be happening in your State also. Especially so in the last 10 years. I've come to realize the season offers a few advantages over the Big Game modern gun season here in Minnesota. Snow cover is one...

Hello all: I have a question or three to ask if y'all don't mind. While the wife was browsing in a GoodWill Store lately. I usually just mope around here and there. This last time our adventure together included my finding a couple picture frames made of pewter. I've been told some time back...

Hello to all: Got nothing but time on my hands this winter. I've been casting for years so I kind'a know what I'm doing. But as I late I've been casting & G/checking for a 32 Special with and old Lyman 321297 mold I pick-up years ago second hand. Cheap compared to today's prices. After a...

I've always been interested just where different cartridge cases originated from. (i.e. what other calibers share/use the same basic cartridge case.) Curious. Is or has there ever been a Parent Cartridge Listing posted here or on the net.? Example: 38-40--44-40--45-Colt being the parent of...

Can you holster and un-holster your Peacemaker like the State Trooper (Alex Green) did in the movie 3000 Miles to Graceland? I'll have to admit that was near the edge of perfection and a pleasure to watch. Anything additional known about Alex Green's life/history you could share would be...

Talk from other web sites. It appears for the time being Remington is slimming the ranks of their brass and bullet components offered in their catalog. (35 Rem Brass is history according to Natchez) Been also mention by a few other gentleman Remington is getting out of the component business...

Hey!! who's all headed out for a B/P hunt this year? What' cha taken along for a "Smoke pole?" Does the Mrs. or Ms. also hunt along side you? or perhaps a Son or Daughter? Again this is the time of year many of us fellers wait for. Time to "make Meat." as those Old Timers use to say.

I'm curious. While sitting enjoying the Sportsman Channel here last night. I tallied my usual expenses plus the land tax on my property. After all said and done. I figured on one medium size deer harvested off that property I maybe clear 75-80 pounds of meat after its butchering. I then divided...

Since the camera missed its head. What do you suppose this healthy looking carnivore is? Coyote or Gray wolf. (Pix was taken in Northern MN.)

http://i1059.photobucket.com/albums/t433/SureShotMcGee/deerbythestand_zpsf7e6b8cb.jpg What's the count? I've never seen quite so many antlered Bucks in one place at one time. And their all big Bucks. Has anyone encountered this type of deer behavior before?

Getting ready for the Fall here and hoping to see a couple of those big flag'en white tails again back in the woods along with their unusual way of getting your immediate attention. (snort/whistle)_:eek: I'm going to have to rely on your experience and/or knowledge concerning musket caps...
