Annealing cast lead bullets in such a manor so's to create a bullet nose with less BHN than its body. Anyone else heard of this technique?

I myself have never done so in the past. Kind'a leery I was up until this Spring when this States hunting guidelines changed a little allowing its old timers to mount a scope over their muzzle loaders barrel. Who has considered such a hunting technique? Who do use their muzzle loader during...

Took a gander at my preferred reference tool (Castpics.) hoping to see cast lead use in the 7.62X39. No such column of recipes exists. Anyone have another web site I can check-out having such lead recipes available?__My Regards,

I'm curious. What was your very first reloading that got you hooked into wanting to Home Reload there after? Hopefully y'll have a story. I'd be Pleased Sir if you would comment those: Memory thoughts. Regards, S/S Mc G.

Moose population is down to 1/2 of what it was in 2008 in Northern Minnesota. And too Grey wolves have ate up all the deer and too many of those moose I suspect. Howling for Wolves was instrumental in having Grey wolves again placed of the Endangered Species Listing with some arm twisting in...

Have a Lyman 2/ cavity mold with a pain in the butt sticking cavity. I'm thinking of buffing that troublesome cavity with a dremel and some Fine grit waxy jewelers rouge. Funny thing. Right from the get go. (nib) Its always been like that. (having one sticking cavity.) Is doing so the...

Quickie questions. 1. When one seat a bullet as close as possible to the barrels rifling. Does doing so cause excessive (entrance) bore erosion? 2. If so. How much barrel life would be lost with a constant diet of that type of ammo? 3. Is there a powder reduction % factor to consider when...

A friend on mine bought a used Rem ADL 742 rifle. Really a nice clean looking rifle I have to admit. Little did he know at the time of purchase the rifles Bolt Rails were badly worn. He found that problem out upon his first outing with his new / (lightly) used rifle (first day of MN deer season...

After all the facts have been factored. All its advertizements longingly looked over. All those fellers. Yup! those (armchair experts on the subject) co-workers who have spoken their advice. Have you ever bought /traded for a new or used rifle that turned out to be marginal for its desired...

There's always been a big-to-do about lead fragmentation in big game animals. Since I'm a traditional ball shooter. I see no need to worry about such a problem. Or should I? :confused: On the other hand those who do use bullet or H/Base conical projectiles on big game. Should they be concerned...

(4 day Rule applied) Thank you, to those who commented

Can't seem to find the date on-line. Does anyone know the actual year or date when T/C introduced their QLA installed barrels? Which T/C model was first to have the QLA's? (Traditional or Inline) Thanks, for the refreshing of this old memory feller/s.

Here is something I come across quite often happening: Why is it some fellows Corn their powder and prefer to shoot corn'ed in their (Rifle.) The typical historic B/P recipe's calls for dampened green meal powder simply being screened to proper kernel size & dried for use in rife applications...

Quick couple question. Is the Winchester Triple 777 primer the same as a shot shell Magnum primer? What is the difference between a normal shot shells primer & a Triple 777s construction? thanks

Just got done installing a Mag Spark 209 A-dapter on my quick-twist G/M-LRH 45 cal Hawken barrel. Have a jug of Triple 777 (loose) I want to try with some PR brand sabot and 250 gr bullets. In the past I've tried H/Made 2-FF, Gorex 2-FF, and Pyrodex RS. None gave me the results I expected in my...

Being a long winter and having little to do and kind'a stuck indoors. I've been bumping around the web reading different Smoke Pole sites. One trivial item I noticed from site to site. So many fellows shooting Traditional style weapons leave me with the idea they feel it's necessary (for them)...

[/URL][/IMG] I thought we all could stand a pick-me-up pix of another's luck last year. (2013) Especially after those of late 2-snow storms that will surely delay my fishing seasons opener. This little spike was taken opening day-- opening morning by my son. Just before his morning stroll out...

Here's the deal. I enjoy some bench rest shooting occasionally. Just to get out and get some fresh air during the winter is always good. In the past I've bought a caldwell adjustable rest. Basicly all it does is lift the rifles stock to line of sight. Well gents I got tired of its slipping...

Something new to me that requires assistance from those in the know. Holidays are over. Now have a little spare time for a project I want to undertake. I have a Remington 700 wood stocked Mountain Rifle in 270 Win that I want to epoxy bed and mount a couple support pillars. I do have access to...
