  1. And probably the last. I have a Lyman lube/sizer but wanted a more black powder lube so I decided to try pan lube method. My lube is homemade 50/50 beeswax and tallow. The lube didn’t stay in the grooves. Now I have a mess. I can press the lube in with my fingers but what a messy and tedious job.
  2. Rob D'Graves
  3. Slim pickering this week. Here is something different. Old early talking picture that still used cards to tell the story. Get a load of those costumes. Huge chaps. Yakima Canutt is packing some kind of double action guns. Get the best look right at the end. Only 37 minutes long.
  4. Thanks. Reminds me of a guy had a concession stand somewhere in the north. He left the heat on so the pipes wouldn't freeze. He got broken into. What the theft got was trivial but he left the door open and the pipes all froze. They caught the kid but he swore he closed the door.
  5. I watched frame by frame with closed caption on and can't understand what he said.
  6. At 330 diameter, can it be used in a 32 cap gun?
  7. I've encountered people that were of the opinion people shouldn't own property. Telling me I was selfish for not sharing. They were often foreigners living in apartments.
  8. Here's a full act.
  9. Yes, Ed was must see TV at our house, as was Gunsmoke and Walter Cronkite. I was Dad's remote control for years.
  10. We're were we can watch the black angus cattle in our pasture below. They are very docile. But for some unknown reason, they will take of in a group and run to a spot in the field and bunch up. They mill around a bit then drift apart and do normal cow stuff. We never figure out what spooked them.
  11. I woke up deaming I was talking with an animated Italian mouse character named Topo Gigio. I started thinking about it. Was it just my dream state imagination? Or was there really a character named that? Googled it and got it right off. He/it did a puppit skit often on the Ed Sulliven show.
  12. This Colt double action 38 Colt was given to me by a friend. The forcing cone was cracked and the firing pin was ground off. I got a new barrel and hammer installed and sold it for $400.
  13. How did they protect their factories from sabotage? Or even their supply lines? There had to be train loads and many freight wagon loads moving all the time. It would be interesting to find a keg of power to compare with new powder.
  14. We've had some instances of trespassing. One-time a father and son cut a fence on my uncles property and cut a trail through our farm and through the next neighbors corn field, riding down corn for a half mile riding quad runners. I caught them cutting through my pasture an ran them down. Told them to stay off my property. I think the corn field neighbor shot over them. Then there was a trail riding groop that would fill their saddlebags with beer and ride through our farm along the creek. A couple times a year for a couple of years. Then there are always "just out riding" even though there is a sigh that says, privet property. I've had two trail cams stolen.
  15. Just read this somewhere. Short Answer: The confederacy made about 3 million tons of black powder during the war, and the Federals a little over 8 million tons. No campaign or major battle of the Civil War was lost due to a lack of gunpowder. And today we can't keep it in stock
  16. This one just fit my hand and didn't want to let go.
  17. Common knowledge for as long as I remember. Got one property line marked on our farm.
  18. Mary use to get ground pork (no seasining). I had my own recipe with no salt or sodium. We liked it but for some reasons only women can understand, she just quit buying it. Sometimes the butcher had to grind some.
  19. Had 5 of these fly over at tree top high about a week ago. They shake us out of our house!
  20. I've never worked with stag material. But I'd tape of the grip frame metal and get a new heavy bastard metal file and take off the majority of the bulge from the exterior.
  21. I've tried the Lee Factory Crimp die with 3 or 4 cartridges including the 44WCF. But got 0 results. I even modified the 44WCF die to get it to do something but it still didn't apply a crimp.
  22. Trimming to same length helps getting a uniform crimp. 44WCF needs a good crimp.
