Never had a a request to do a grip tape job yet. Don't think I ever will actually. Have had a few come in that had pressure switches. They used electric tape on them. What is the right way to tape on a switch? Gotta be something better then electric! The automotive Dept. At Walmart seems...

Had a guy drop one off for repair. It's missing the cylinder rod. If anyone has one, can you shoot me a pic of it along with dimensions? Going to have to turn one down on the lathe.

I have an H&R Pardner (modern topper) Chambered in a 10 gauge. Great turkey gun. Big question is what is the choke thread pattern that I want with this gun? I called the factory and they told me they only make the one choke for it. I know I am going to have to go to online to buy one but I...

I have two 5 lbs jugs of this. The jugs look like they have been out in someones garage for many years. But the labels are still legible. But I can't seem to find ANY info on this powder and what it is used for. EXCEPT FOR: On the jug, it says "Smokeless Rifle Powder" Oh and it says (the...

I have spent about 2 hours looking for good things to print off the net to hang up in the reloading room... I.E... Master chart of Shell plate sizes (So I don't need a microscope) And any other info that would look good on the wall and perhaps come in handy a time a two... So, Does...

Yup, Deformed. These are some old projectiles that I got from a guy about a year ago. They are/were .356.5 HP jacketed. I sent them through my brass polisher to see if I could clean them up a bit. They came out looking OK. (they were covered in oil and dirt) Now that they are out, they...

I cant seem to adjust this thing right. On the final crimp it deeps crushing the shell.... How on earth do you make it not do that?

I was just thinking about going out and buying a 357 mag. I have a whole bunch of ammo for both cal. I know that you can shoot the 38's out of the 357 but just wondering if ITS possible to load a full 357 charge in a 38 case? Would this be dangerous? I haven't done any looking into this...

Well, I am biting the bullet again.. lol... and am now going to start making gas checks. I have read that pop cans seem to work well. So the big question is::::::::::::::: What one do I buy? Where can I get it? and how much is a good amount on one?

A friend of myne's father passed away a few months ago... And the friend asked if I wanted some odd and ends reloading items that were laying about. "Sure" In this mess of items, was a whole bunch of 30-06 loaded rounds... They were very beat up and dirty. So i figured I would pull the rounds...

I have posted a while ago that I picked up a Hornady Pro 7. When I call Hornady and ask them about this press, they know nothing. And according to them there are no parts for this press.... It looks to me that this press is in full working order. But I need to find a powder dispenser that is...

How do you guys put big pictures right HERE without having to add an attachment?

I do believe that I need to buy a Lee Lube and Sizing kit for the 9mm and 30-06 (30-06 will have gas checks). Why is it so hard to pick out what one I want? They have a bunch but they aren't listed in 9mm/38 or .30 cals.. So for a plain jane 9mm Beretta/Taurus don't I just want to buy...

I am looking for a "CHEAP" way to HP... I am tempted to buy a 44 mag HP mold but then again, I don't want all of them to HP! So I thinking of buying a plain mold for 44 and "Drill" out to make them HP's. Does anyone do this? I see there was a few things like this on the market but I haven't...
