Thanks everyone, what really sucks is that I just bought a custom made Rolling Block in 45-70 and can't shoot it for a week or two!!!!!

I have been having trouble with the nerves that run between my right thumb and trigger finger and also a popping in the joints of my right hand trigger finger. Last week I went to see a hand surgeon and she said I have Dupuytrens disease which is generally genetic and from people of norther...

My wife bought me one for last Christmas and I love it. It has the laser grips and does have a great trigger feel.

Since I have been shooting again after many years of inactivity my favorite handgun has become my model 327-TRR8 which is one of those neat alloy 8 shooters. I usually take it with me whenever I do range officer duty and try to burn through a couple hundred wadcutters. A month or so ago one of...

A couple of the old time reloaders in the San Diego area told me that the ones on the left are from too much interference when seating the bullets possibly due to the OD of the bullet just a tad too big. They said it is normal for cast bullets like wadcutters (I load) as they need more...

ALL HP computers and printers have software modules installed that periodically will hop onto the internet and go to HP's site to check for updates and download software and who knows what. I teach my students how to turn that off but it is a tad too complicated to try to do here. I would guess...

I read your message and there should be a small window of a different color pop up when you click the right mouse button. Inside that window will be a properties selection. You might have to scroll around the screen to find the window. The suggestion by Phil will also work if you can see the...

You did not mention what type or brand of computer so I am giving advice for a PC. When you say "larger" I think you mean that all the little icons that used to fit on the desktop are now huge and take up all the space and that the background image is either super fuzzy or a solid color? If this...

I shot DEWCs in 38 special cases for about a year or so with 3.3gr of W231 powder and a mix of primers which seemed not to have much affect. Out to 25 yds they worked well except for some leading. I started using 357 cases this year and bumped the load of powder to 3.6gr and they seem a bit more...

As several folks noted, I also started out with the Lee liquid lube for a couple of reasons, first was Lee seems to know what they are doing and they said it was a lot easier and they were spot on with that comment. Also they said it was cleaner and that seems to be true also with much less...

Well I have been reloading for about 2 years and decided to try making my own cast DEWC bullets as my supply from Missouri Bullet Co was down to about a thousand or so. I looked around and found Cast Boolits - Dedicated To The World Of Cast Bullets! and it is most informative website and one...

I applied on line in Jan, of 2009 and about a week after I applied I got an email asking to see my DD214 where I was retired with disability (30%) and I took it in and was only there for about 15 minutes as they had a couple of windows just for document turn in. I was the ONLY white guy there...

Well I am about ready to try casting my own bullets and plan to make some 148gr DEWCs similar to the ones I have been using from Missouri Bullet Co. I bought 6000 a couple years ago and are starting to run out.....Theirs have two large lube grooves and the mold I have is a Lee with multiple...

I had this problem with 357 brass cases loading DEWC bullets and bought the Lee factory sizer/crimper die and it smooths out the slight bump quite well.

I have shot nearly 3000 of the Missouri Bullet .357 DEWC in both 38 special and 357 magnum cases and they have performed great. I was getting the slight bulge in the 357 cases so I started using the Lee factory sizer/crimper die and that cured the problem very well. I do seat mine a slight bit...
