      Are there many bullet casters here?

      I use almost exclusively the 6-cavity moulds. The above posters are correct; the sprue plate is considerably better designed for speedier production. I've tried the 2-cavity, and it's good...and the 6-cavity is the even better design. My Lee 358-105-SWC mould has over 100,000 boolits on its...

      Factory Seconds Bullets

      Not sure what those are, but they look like standard JHP's, so I'd just go ahead and load 'em with 230gr bullet info and have fun. I like MidwayUSA factory seconds, too. You can get some good deals on 'em. Sometimes they're MatchKings, sometimes they're Hornady SST's, sometimes they're...

      Cabela's used guns

      Security-Sixes are very good revolvers, no question. It looks like that guy on RugerForum did OK. Just took a look at Cabela's used gun Web page that Michigander08 posted. Wow, are they overpriced! No, thanks.

      Virginia Ready Reserve

      Here's the problem I see with this group. "Traditional Judeo-Christian values".... I have seen that time and again to attempt to legislate Christianity onto the populace. Without exception, the people I've met who say this also say, "we're a CHREEESCH-CHUN nation!", and they want to...

      Manchin says "due process is what's killing us right now"

      Just watched the video (the article links to a YouTube video of Sen. Manchin speaking on this subject). After that, I'm quite ready to lash him to an electoral stake, and I hope the voters of West Virginia are as well. I'm afraid he's quite well convicted himself on this one. There's nothing...

      Lyin' Katie Couric Wants To Know What You're Afraid Of

      How ironic that Katie herself has admitted ON TAPE that she would prefer a bodyguard with a gun vs. one with, say, a billy-club. Yes, a VCDL member got her to admit this! Here's the proof. The moment happens at 1 hour, 21 minutes, 50 seconds into the full, unedited audio. She qualifies...

      VCDL deceived by Katie Couric

      Here's how she would answer. She'd answer the same way she answered me when she brought up the subject of guns in homes with children. I described just such a situation and then posed a pointed question to her about it. Listen to what she does when *she* gets asked something she doesn't...

      Best powders for 7.62x54R and 174gr SMKs

      BL-C(2), and its WC846 military equivalent, are also good choices for this application. It seems to behave in similar fashion as it does in the .308 Win.

      McAuliffe Signs Executive Order on Gun Control Measures

      You all think McAwful wants to stop there? 99% chance he's going to try to follow in Warner's and Kaine's steps and run for Senator. Or he's buckin' to be Hillary Rotten Clinton's running mate.

      McAuliffe Signs Executive Order on Gun Control Measures

      If only McAwful actually were a Liberal, like me, then he wouldn't be doing this nonsense. Unfortunately, he's a Democrat, so he does it. Yes, we are. Any time our 2A rights are threatened in Virginia, we are there. That's our job. Hillary Rotten Clinton would love nothing more than...

      Berger 7mm VLD 180gr - 48% off at Midway

      They're back! As of 6:00am this morning.

      Berger *Hybrid* VLD's, 180gr, 7mm, 47% off

      Yeah, I was wondering that, too. Apparently these 180-grainers need a pretty fast twist rate, at least 1:9". I've also heard that 1:8" can work even better in some rifles. Winchester M70's have a 1:9.5" twist rate. Rem 700's have a 1:9". My guess is that most people shooting the really...

      Berger *Hybrid* VLD's, 180gr, 7mm, 47% off

      Just took a look. Hmm...yeah, they did go up, didn't they? Still not bad at 29%, but not quite 47% anymore. So, how do I find these prices? Here's how. I've learned that MidwayUSA does their weekly clearance markdowns every Friday morning. By about 7:30am EST, they finish their...

      Berger *Hybrid* VLD's, 180gr, 7mm, 47% off

      I just can't believe these clearance sales of late.... http://www.midwayusa.com/product/833731/berger-hybrid-target-bullets-284-caliber-7mm-284-diameter-180-grain-hollow-point-boat-tail This is that new Hybrid VLD, the one with the mostly secant ogive, going to tangent right where the...

      Which lever gun

      Gotta go for the Rossi 92 in .38/357 in this case. I also have a Ruger 96/44 in .44 Magnum, but to feed that thing and not go broke, you've got to either reload or be a politician. Fortunately, I do reload, so this is not a problem. But not everyone does. With a .38/357 levergun, you can...
