I wonder how many folks here really know what "draw filing" is all about.

One reason I use wheel weights for bullet material is the antimony in them. That makes them harder than just a lead/tin mix. The wheel weights may have a trace amount of arsenic in them, though. Read this web page on cast bullet alloys for more in-depth information. You could use the alloy...

What sort of alloy were you using? You definitely need an alloy that is significantly harder than pure lead and thus it would be lighter than pure lead. To directly answer the question, the little bit of difference between 158 grains and 162.2 grains won't make much difference in the chamber...

Anything that can absorb moisture (ordinary cloth, paper, etc.) could potentially be a bad thing for wrapping around or using as a pad for storing things which can rust on. Y'all need to realize that a desiccant (such as silica gel, dry rice, etc.) cannot do what you hope for it to do unless it...

We're all still in the background hoping and praying for the best for both of you (and the rest of your families, of course).

If you were REALLY concerned about rust and other corrosion caused by airborne stuff, you could always package your stored firearm(s) in vacuum bags. The systems (machines and bags) by Foodsaver which we use for foods we are going to freeze would be perfect for most handguns, rifles, and...

The way I see things, the heel of the 7-round magazine is at least a full inch longer longer than the one with five sight holes. That could easily upset the ability to fully conceal the pistol in some situations. Which magazine is standard for the pistol?

You are quite correct that flooding a generator would put it out of commission. That's why folks who are thinking ahead might mount it in a higher location if their property is in a low-lying area. I have a lot of downhill around me so I'm fortunate in that I don't need to worry about that...

I help manage a forum about Generac standby generators (the kind that start up by themselves and automatically switch the home to the generator). Several folks on the forum who live in the Northeast were frantically trying to either finish an installation or get their older generators back into...

That's pretty close to their generic estimate of 60 days. Thanks.

You got that right, Ray.

That looks really good....

Those are interesting, but probably wouldn't do much for my reloading style. I use an old Texan 7-station turret press which is purely manual - no automatic advancing of the turret position. I do a whole batch of cases one step at a time. In other words, I size the whole batch, prime the...

What Hornady and RCBS products are you referring to? I don't understand what you're asking about.

I found good news today. Florida has cashed my check and Utah has charged my credit card. This means both have the paperwork and I'm hoping to see more from them soon.

I have never once thought to apply that comparison to shooting anything and that includes shooting a bolt-action 50 BMG rifle a few years ago. ;D

I do not recommend this sort of brass for serious reloading. The problem is that you have no clue as to what you'd be getting and the probability is that there's a huge mix of brands, case wall thicknesses, case capacities, etc. This would make it nearly impossible to get good uniform results...

Which caliber is that Barret rifle - .50 BMG or .416 Barrett? I'd love to get my hands on one, but Mama would make me sorry if I bought one. :P

I, too, am quite curious about this one.....

I do think, though, that we need to teach family members and other people to not shoot someone through a door, wall, or other surface that they cannot see through. Identification of the target is critically important to avoid a mistake that would be regretted for the rest of the shooter's life.
