With respect to a bunch of "new" legislation likely to be crammed down our throats, how many different things can we already identify at the Federal, State, or local level regarding firearms that is redundant, absurd, impractical, and really serves no realistic purpose? Think as if you are...

It's been quite a while since I brought the little bugger out to play--so it was overdue. Heavy-barrelled .223 NEF Handi with a survivor stock and a Versi-pod bipod. One stupid flyer opened the group up almost double (operator error), but it's nice to see this thing shoots as well as I...

Here is what I wrote this morning and have sent to all my representatives here in Colorado. For those who would like to, please feel free to copy this, personalize it as you see fit, and send it to our Representatives (and yours as well!!!) under your own name...

Anyone know where to find magazines for the original Israeli .40 Desert Eagle or what mag is compatible? The Magnum Research ones are NOT--need the originals. Any and all options are needed. It's an H3

Had a little "experiment" go really well. I was recently loading for my neighbor's 5.7x28 in return for a bunch of roofing he's supplied me with (among other things). After a lot of very careful work on the project, we decided to scrap it before finishing with a $1200 hand grenade. So I have all...

Not sure how many could see it or did, but where we were it was amazing. I managed to get a couple photos through my welding hood, so for those that missed it---Here ya go!

As a few here know, I just can't leave well enough alone with a new mold. I recently traded off a mold that was collecting dust for one I've been itching to play with---the Lee 148gr WC for .357 Mag... Wad Cutters are fun. Wad Cutters are great target bullets. Wad Cutters have a massive meplat...

:p Can't wait to see how well it de-loads some of my 158gr. SWC's! :D

So I've been playing with some different powders again, and found a load that my .40 HP (one of my personal mold mods) REEEALLY likes... With 50/50 alloy finishing right at 165gr and loaded over 9.4gr 2400 and set at OAL 1.135 and fired at 10yds. into water jugs... THIS happens:

Well, I couldn't leave it sitting on the bench any longer without doing something about it... Especially since so many others have been receiving special attention! That AK mold was just calling to me to make one cavity do something different... :D Lee TL 312-160-2R With a GC the original...

So I've been playing with PP'ing for my .32 Winchester for a while now and am really impressed with what has turned out with it. Accuracy is fantastic--it's well within minute-of-heart-shot on a deer at 100 yds, so it's back to being a superb brush gun that it was originally intended to be. I...

I posted this over on Cast Boolits, but since I frequent both there and here, I thought I'd share on both so those who aren't there get the benefit as well. Over the past year or so, I've been refining a process of Hollow-Pointing my own molds. Being a family man with kids, my shooting budget...

So yesterday I did the modification on my 93gr. Lee for my .32 Auto that shortened it and lightened to 80gr. Today I couldn't leave well enough alone. I HP'd one cavity. I ended up with a RN FP that is HP'd to the base of the nose. With 50/50 WW/Dead-Soft, it drops at a perfect 71gr. With 1.6gr...

Well, I FINALLY got around to modifying my Lee 93gr. mold for my .32 Auto. It really ran nice, but was a serious pain in the back-side to load due to how deep the bullet had to be seated to chamber correctly. It typically caused a bulge that had to be ironed out prior to the crimp. This is...

So there I was, minding my own business, thinking about ballistics, penetration, expansion, etc... :D I've been playing with my BP and muzzle-stuffers a bit more again, and was curious as to the penetration and expansion factors on my 1851 Navy. So in true red-neck fashion, I headed out to the...

One reason I reload... Went out last week to check the zero on the rifle my son wanted to use for elk this year. While we were there, I decided to take my NEF .223 to sight in since I changed scopes on it. I had a box of .223 40gr. varmint loads I got at Wally-World last year, and didn't have...

Got a couple buggered up molds in a trade for the purpose of "project molds". Both had really bad tooling chatter marks--.429 SWC and a .358 SWC. I lapped out the .358 to polish the chatter out, and bored one cavity for a HP pin. And here are the results now that I'm done playing! Hope they...

It's taken a while, but I've finally gotten my dad interested in the world of shiny molten metal. He'd like to start out with something for his GP100 in 6" and is looking for something similar to what a friend cast and loaded up for him years ago. They were RN in the lighter gr. range (115's or...

I love my mosin--it's just a load of fun to shoot. But, like so many others have noted, that damn bolt sticking straight out annoyed me, and I hated it snapping straight up when open... So I'd contemplated a little over the past year or so about changing to the bent bolt. Options are there---buy...

Not sure if anyone is using the 93gr lee mold for 32 Auto, but I picked one up (hesitantly) for the purpose. I'll be honest in saying I'm a little nervous about the higher grain bullet than what is listed and such limited case volume. My first thought was to drill and pin it as a hollow-point...
