rusty flint, you going to the NMLRA Spring Shoot next week? I'll buy them from you there.

Eh I wouldn't get upset with a loved one over tossing some lead. Everyone makes mistakes, and lead is cheap. Perhaps the guy just doesn't love his wife, in which case it's time to be honest with her.

Welcome, from the base of the middle finger

Speaking of ticks... This morning I grabbed my rifle, walked out onto the lawn to start shooting, and I felt something on the back of my neck. It was a tick crawling up my neck. I have no idea where it came from.

Can't stop laughing "Am ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

If I go bushwhacking on my land, I'll return home with 30 ticks on my clothes. If I spray down with DEET before the walk, I'll have 0 ticks.

I put a couple hundred balls down the muzzle of my barrel. The Hickory stem is definitely hard, but I can see that eventually it will wear out. So I am going to add a brass tip.

That is one gorgeous stock

Quality stitching job

Love the handle!

Cast 650 round balls

I find really cheap compressed air cans at discount stores like Gabe's, Ollie's, etc.

The most effective anti-rust agent is Fluid Film, available at your local auto parts store. Proven better than all other gun oils.

He makes them in my size, 490! Thanks for the tip!!

Update So, yes, the Lyman molds are cut deeper in the block, so the sprues are longer. I did some grinding on the top of my Lyman mold so that the "throat" is now negligible. I am going to do just a tad bit more grinding with sandpaper and a sanding block. Today I cast 650 balls, and here are...
