Just turned 54 and started shooting at 5. Built my first muzzleloader at 16 and been casting boolits since 14.

I get the same thing 6pt is getting.

We have a May/June season here in Kentucky. I usually don't have time to go and hate the ticks this time of year. Looks like the rifle done well.

I prefer the aluminum blocks because they won't warp. The first mold I bought from him was brass and I ended up warping it from over heating. I have two bullet designs from Accurate for the 32 WS and one is a clone of the rcbs bullet that drops at 180 grs. and the other is like an old Lyman bullet b...

I ordered an Accurate mold about a week ago for a .430 240 grain bullet and a .460 305 grain bullet for 44mag and 45-60 lever guns. The site said three week turn around but it arrived today. I was excited and opened the package right away. To my disappointment it only had the .429 bullet cut into th...

Nice looking set of wheels. You done a really nice job fixing her up. I wish I could find a 66 chevy pickup that I could afford.

hondo1892

Nice pile of lumber. Do you have a bandsaw or a large circle blade mill?

hondo1892

Wonder what Yosemite Sam looks like in this reboot. I'm sure the hole thing is lame with all the pc garbage.

hondo1892

Nice looking Winchester and glad you had a good day shooting.

hondo1892

Yes it has an Ed Rayle swamped barrel on it.

hondo1892

It's built after the early Reading school rifles. It shoots pretty good with the load I've been using. It may shoot better if I ever get out and try some different things.

Been working on this rifle for three years now. It's one I started for myself so I only work on it when I have time. I drew the carving on last spring and carved it this past winter and this week I stained the stock. Maybe it will get finished up this year. I let my son-in-law hunt with it last fall...

Neat pistol Rube. I always liked the looks of the 71 open top Colt's. Is it one that came from the factory in the conversion style or was it converted by a smith later.

hondo1892

I can get maple all kinds of dark. However each piece is different and I always keep scraps from my stock blanks to do a trial run to keep from messing up hours of hard work. Aqua fortis is great stuff for maple as a stain, it won't fade from sun light and it will get darker over time. I love aqua f...

He got two bottom teeth real early but the upper have been stubborn. He's been drooling like some teeth are wanting to break through but nothing yet. Must be rough but I don't remember that period in my life lol.

hondo1892

Looks like you did a really nice job on the ammo. I really like the ammo containers too.

I became a granddad last November and my daughter ask me to make a custom crib for Duke. She gave me a photo of one she liked and this is what I came up with. Took me forever to find some wood thick enough for the post and finished the bed just in time. He was just about to big for his bassinet he h...

Go over to youtube and look up Jim Kibler video's. He shows how he stains his maple gun stocks and makes the curl pop more. He makes muzzleloading rifle kits.

I try to ball my .357 brass as little as possible. The last time I loaded up some rounds, probably sixty I had six or seven pieces that cracked. I have not had the problem with .38 spl cases. I also thought that maybe the pressure that the .357 is loaded to may have some effect also.

hondo1892

I like how nickel brass stays shiny and doesn't get tarnished. However when reloading nickel cartridges I tend to have quite a bit of mouth cracking when I bell them. Is there any way to keep the cracking to a minimum? I've never heard of annealing nickel like brass can be done. I've been staying aw...

hondo1892

I was going to say something but decided it's better that I don't.

hondo1892

Never shot one of their 22/45 pistols but I love my MKII bull barrel. It's probably the most accurate 22 handgun I've owned. Have fun with it when it gets over the carona virus.

hondo1892

Thanks tycer I didn't know that the lighter bullets would do that. I usually load 158 lead swc at lower levels and shoot hot loads once in awhile.

hondo1892

I've been shot a few times by the concealed carry guys. The open carry fellows I never let get that close.

hondo1892

I owned two Marlins in 45/70. Back when I was around twenty I stoked up the loads to shoot through my first one and was that ever a mistake. The rifle was so light and I was about 120 pounds soaking wet so I had no natural padding back then. I quickly picked up the bad habit of flinching when I pull...

My dad surgery yesterday and I wasn't aloud in the hospital until he was sent to a room. So I was making the rounds to gun stores and when I went into one of my regular shops a guy had four revolvers and two auto's he wanted to put up on consignment. I happened to walk by and seen a Smith that I tho...

hondo1892

Nice rifle Rube.

hondo1892

You could check out cast boolit forum also. Tons of cast boolit loads on that site.

I took my dad for a pre-op today so he could get a stress test and I had to chuckle. We went in to register and the seats were six feet apart but no one cleaned the seats after someone was setting in them. They didn't clean the desk with disinfectant while we were there. I seen restaurants clean mor...

I have a Winchester 94 carbine made in the 20's in .32 Special. Yes I like it very much but I like odd caliber guns. I have the RCBS mold for it and I have another by Accurate that has two different bullets for the .32, a twin of the RCBS design and the other is a 165 grain bullet. The lighter one d...

hondo1892

My favorite is a combat commander Colt. I made a set of ivory grips for it but those bone grips you have are really nice.

hondo1892

Thanks guys. I was cleaning my garage today and found a box that was from a bowl for a tumbler. I remember now buying it because my old bowl needed replacing. So I have two tumblers but one has been lost in our move. I went through almost everything in the garage and haven't found it yet so I may ha...

hondo1892

Welcome to the crowd. I live and hunt in Casey county and a hundred yard shot is long distance shooting for me. I usually use a lever rifle for my hunting or a muzzleloader because of short distance. I find that lever rifle are just plain fun to shoot compared to bolts or semiauto rifles. Used to ow...

hondo1892

Wiish I could have got by making a rocking cradle. My daughter wanted a full size crib. Nice looking cradles.

hondo1892

I've been thinking about getting a new tumbler for cleaning my brass. My old Lyman is about forty years old and the media just doesn't clean like the stainless pins do. Midway has a Frankford Arsenal tumbler kit on sale right now for $160 something. Does anyone here have one or what brand would you ...

hondo1892

Congratulations on the new little one. Being a grandparent is great stuff.

hondo1892

Very nice looking grips. I've always liked stag grips over ivory or mother of pearl. I want to get a set for a USFA rodeo that I have but find other things I want more when I have the cash.

hondo1892

Does the letter say what caliber it was when it left the warehouse. Sometimes they had barrel swaps done at the factory before they were shipped and sometimes an owner sent them back to get a new barrel put on them. Then there is the possibility that some one bought the rifle but the barrel was real...

hondo1892

I don't have any advise but nice looking rifle you have there.

hondo1892

Cute little buggers.

hondo1892

Thanks YK it's good to hear from someone that has one.

Had a .44 magnum don't care to have another. I enjoy shooting but not interested in hunting with one so the special is plenty for me.

hondo1892

Thanks everyone. I'm not without a pooch right now. I have been taking care of my daughter and son-in-laws dog most of his life. For some reason he refuses to behave at their house but is fine for me.

hondo1892

Hondo was my mountain cur buddy for almost twelve years. I have followed Hondo up and down hills chasing squirrels most of his life. He started having problems and was walking like he was drunk. A trip to the vet and she gave us bad news and said he probably had a liver tumor. We came home with some...

hondo1892

Pitchy do you have a milk man or a milk cow. Hard to think about nine months without milk.

hondo1892

Thanks for sharing your really cool rifle. I'm surprised that you didn't cut the gopher in two.

hondo1892

There are a few protesting but they are made out like they are bafoons and don't care about their fellow man. I have seen post on fb from people that know history and still are upset by the protesters. I'm with you marlin on people wanting to be told what to do by the government. I afraid my new gra...

hondo1892

Thanks guys. Didn't think about the Ruger forum, I'll give it a look.

hondo1892

I'm about to blow my stack. I try not to listen to or watch the daily updates about the virus(my wife has to watch every day). The news people ask some of the dumbest questions and some of the "experts" burn me up with some of their stuff. Our great governor here in Kentucky was threatenin...

hondo1892

Anyone here own one of the Ruger GP100s in .44 special? I owned one of the three inch .357's but didn't care for it that much. The 44 special might be another thing though. I watched some youtube reviews of the three inch and five inch versions and people seem to like them. I've never seen one in pe...

hondo1892

Shot a glock for the first time a couple weeks back. I was impressed with the accuracy of it but they just don't float my boat.
