    Blowing down the barrel

    I blow down my barrel most of the time, but I'm one of the lucky ones born with enough common sense to recognize when my rifle goes off. If it doesn't go off, avoid the muzzle and keep it pointed in a safe direction. If you are one of the folks born without the common sense needed to recognize...

    How Far Can You Make Successful Kill Shots ?.

    Not much stalking deer goes on in my part of the country, stands or blinds for the most part. Being a bowhunter for years and hunting from stands most of my rifle shots were relatively close. I have killed several deer with my .50 GPR in the 75-100 yard range. These shots were supported in some...

    New to me casting equipment

    I'm afraid the pot is going to be unusable, it appears it was wired direct, bypassing the thermostat. Most of the insulation was burned off the wires, luckily, I didn't get shocked or trip a breaker. Lyman doesn't support this pot any longer and I understand. What surprised me was that they only...

    Square patches

    I thought that only worked in the southern hemisphere.

    Square patches

    Maybe that's my problem, I've been using right handed patches

    Square patches

    I don't.

    Square patches

    I cut my patches round because I have hole punch, in the future I'll probably cut them square, it'll take less time. The patches that I've cut at the muzzle are sort of square with rounded corners. Kind of a rounded square or a squared circle, depending on how you look at it. I don't think the...

    BEWARE OF FEDEX AND COLLECTING TEXAS.

    IMHO, if you're shipping a long rifle or a stock for one, follow Kiblers example. Package it like it has to pass through the gorilla cage at the zoo. It is also my opinion that all three shippers will gladly sell you insurance for your package, however they have no intention to pay when there...

    Went Hunting and Left my .54 loaded for 3 days

    Years ago, when I hunted with my Lyman percussion GPR I'd leave it loaded for months. I used store bought pre lubed patches, so I have no idea what was on them. 3-1 oil was used to wipe the barrel after hot water cleaning. Before it was loaded a dry patch was ran through the barrel and three...

    Grains by weight or volume???

    Only testing will tell.

    Grains by weight or volume???

    It would be an interesting to see how many competition shooters can shoot (offhand) the difference (if there is any) between weighed versus volume charges. Do a blind test, with one set weighed and the other by volume, the charges done by someone else with the shooter not knowing which charges...

    A little more shooting

    The note on the first two targets is wrong, the mix is 6/1 water/Ballistol, not Ballistol/water.

    A little more shooting

    Today was another unusually warm day with high humidity. After helping my boss (wife) with some honey do's (shampooing the carpet) I was free do as I pleased. A couple days ago I started a thread on my experiences shooting Schutzen 3F and Swiss 3F off handed. The rifle had been zeroed off a...
