    tick treatment

    We try to tuck in our pants and use deet spray. It works pretty good here. Or take your better half; and like the song says " I'd like to check you for ticks!!" Lol.

    Storing black powder in a shed

    By the by, I've Never had any of my powder, black or smokeless, go bad in the dry climate. I think a higher humidity may cause problems. It's worth noting, 50 odd years ago, at the old Du Pont plant, a cigar box was found in an office with powder rolled in newspapers. The powder was tested...

    Storing black powder in a shed

    My Surplus powder lives in the garage, non temp controlled. It's dry, and some had been there over 20 years. I keep a pound of ffg and fffg in the house for filling my horns.

    Casting Help!

    I've use soot from candle, lighter, etc. I recently bought an Accurate Mold, oh my goodness what quality. The boolits fall from the Mold, or can be flicked with a gloved finger. By far the best mold I've ever owned or used.

    Casting Help!

    The Gunsmith who ordered my first mold, a .440, was also lefthanded. He gave me that dipper in 1980. I tried the conventional dippers sold; all pretty much useless left handed. I gave them away and have only used the homemade one. I have tried the gravy ladle, cooking spoon, etc., but they...

    Casting Help!

    All of the above... and wear long pants and no crocs. My friend can tell you why. Be careful of sweat, if you're warm wear a cap or headband, I'm telling you one drop of sweat can blow molten lead everywhere. Same for putting damp lead in a hot pot. If you have damp lead, and feel lucky...

    Casting Help!

    I found my original casting equipment last weekend. A small cast iron skillet, a piece of mop handle as a striker, a home made left hand dipper. I started with a white gas Coleman stove, stood under the floodlight at the ranch. You don't need much. I saw a guy cast bullets over a campfire...
