OK, here's my rant for the day,--if anyone cares.:rolleyes: On one of Midway's TV commercials and now on the front of their master catalog, they show Larry Potterfield charging powder from a RCBS Uniflow, into a loading block full of cases. He is holding the entire block full of cases under...

When he said that, I assumed the lid would be replaced when he put it away. Let's hope. Here's a few of my old powders that are doing just fine. jd

When testing a new handgun or new hand-loads, I like to shoot a 25 yard group from a rest to see how things are doing. It would be nice to take as much human error out of the equation as possible, but I don't have a Ransom Rest. My method of rest is usually with wrists and hands bedded on...

[/ATTACH] Here is my old sweetheart.:) jd:)

Just wondering if anyone has used the RCBS tool called the Pow'r Punch, and how well it works. After another session on my old Piggy-back 2 progressive, I remain frustrated at how often a decapped primer hangs up and is reseated. I have developed a few techniques to spot and usually prevent...

There is a thread that has been started by a fella that wants to start loading without breaking the bank, and I thought I'd start another titled more to that effect. I happen to be assembling a low-budget and beginner-safe outfit for a buddy, consisting of odds and ends that I have acquired...

I've got a 686-6, serial #CJT65XX. After shooting it today, and cleaning it, I noticed something that may be a flaw or mechanical problem. I'd appreciate any help from someone more knowledgeable than myself. Without knowing the proper names of the parts in question, I'll try to make myself...

Well, I just received my new Lee double cav, 158 gr., 358 dia. bullet mold! It's my first time with one of these aluminum types, and I have high hopes of success with un-sized plinkers. I've already converted some wheel-weights into a couple hundred bullets, and the Alox Lube is drying on them...

Has anyone out there heard of a 24 ga. shotgun? A guy was telling me about a SxS he has. I'd never heard of such. jd

Has anyone used cast bullets without running them through the sizer? I've been thinking of trying it if I can find a mold -probably Lee- to drop the correct diameter. This would be for 38/357. Anyone out there feel lazy like me?:rolleyes: jd

Does anyone happen to have information ranking Trailboss Powder burn rate in order with other common pistol powders such as Bullseye, Red Dot, etc.? jd

About a week ago, my old PC suffered a permanant FTF. I've been bumming computer time on Mrs. jd's Mac, and catching hell for it, so today we went to town to fix me up with a new laptop. Well we found one that's good enough for me, and wouldn't ya know, it cost just about what a new S&W would -...

Merry Christmas to my fellows! Does anyone else out there have a Christmas rifle (or other firearm) story that perhaps made you the gun nut that you are today? Mine happened at the age of twelve, almost the same as the Christmas Story movie, which revolved around the Red Ryder BB gun. On that...

Thought I'd see if anyone could give me a date on our old family rifle. As the title says, it's a Winchester 94. Barrel is stamped MODEL 94-WINCHESTER-NICLEL STEEL-30 WCF. Serial # on botom of receiver is 10028XX. It has a steel square topped butt-plate. Saddle ring has been removed -with a...

Since I know that there are so many Jennings lovers out there,:rolleyes: I thought I'd give a progress report on how my new J-22 is doing. I'm about healed up from the last round of criticism ya'all dished me. So, I headed up to my gravel pit range with a target board and the 14" gong and my two...

Anybody out there still using a Piggy-back progressive, or am I the only dinosaur? I'm thinkin of starting a 12 step group if anyone is interested.:rolleyes: jd

I went to the local gun show today and came home with a like new "better than no gun at all gun"; the rare and sought after Jennings J-22.:rolleyes: A real collectors item. They aint making no more of em. :) Ninety US dollars put this bad boy into my pocket, and the seller paid the background...
