To the reloader it's pretty obvious ;)

Here are the grips DonD is talking about. Apparently our hands are similar because I love these grips. They change the axis of my grip and also allow more room for my middle finger. To me they are more comfortable than the factory rubbers and less punishing. 50 rounds in one shooting session was...

Steve your post just made me get up and look out the window to say "hi mom" to a rose bush planted beside my garage where I can see it everyday. I lost both of my parents in the last 5 years. Before we sold the house I transplanted one of my mothers rose bushes as a reminder of my mother, she...

Yes you're an old man but just play along and add some curb feelers. That should really get her going! :)

Back in the early 80's while walking around a gun show I saw a Century Arms 45-70 some guy was walking around with (just for show) and I was hooked. A few years later I bought a JD Jones 45-70 barrel for my Contender collection and it was a beast! It had no comp and Pach's were a must if you...

Thief, thief! ..............now where's this guy live? ;) jk, very nice find!

I have to agree. Somewhere around 40 my arms started to get shorter and I couldn't even read the news paper. I started with wallyworld reading glasses and things seemed ok, I could read again. But with everything I was into I found out they didn't always work since I was farsighted and things...

Drew, it's always a pleasure seeing your collection! Bobthegod, over the years I've seen some Very impressive collections posted and as Drew stated, Yes, there are members here that can call your wager and raise you to the likes you've never seen. These guys and gals aren't playing dollar a...

By the looks of the picture they are one in the same.

I just opened up a spread sheet I use to calculate load cost and based on what I bought my components for years ago I load each round for 18 cents. That's not taking into account the initial cost of 1k rounds of brass or the free 1 ton of wheel weights. For many many years I bought all of my...

Don't forget yard sales and work. Most of my best buys came from work. If you buy them, they will come :)

I wouldn't get hung up on finding "special" brass for the 500. You'll have an even tougher time finding much loading data, the cartridge can easily be down loaded. If you're intent on loading to special length simply cut down full length brass. I don't know what the length should be though. I...

You didn't say if you wanted to machine wood or metal so I assume metal. I myself own a 3 axis wood cnc router which I'm in the process of converting to a 4 axis. I initially wanted to buy a metal machine but decided wood was more of what I'm interested in, and what I can produce is only limited...

Finally! I know where the origin of the saying comes from......."dumber than a rock."

Do you have a 45 Colt or a Colt 45? ;) To some they are two completely different guns.
