    Bleaching caribou horns

    I bagged a 'bou last month in the velvet, and I want to bleach his horns. I am guessing that a flat white paint would do the trick, but :confused: is there a "right "way to do this? Also, I found a shed (hooked in a tree) that I brought home for my boys' room decoration. It has been...

    last night I had a bunch of trouble with the sizing die. I disassembled and cleaned it, but that was no help at all. Cases keep getting stuck, and the case mouth is not belled enough to get the trimmer inside. What would cause this to happen?

    lee scale problems

    I noticed that my Lee scale is "hanging" at the indicator point. As it swings by, it hesitates, and then continues on. With the same weight, it will stop just above the "point"...or sometimes just below. I didn't do this before, so I am concerned. I have weighed some "known" quantities. The...
