    Upgrading the Reloading Bench

    I missed out on going to Iran way back in the late 70's to do cable splicing. The contract was for 2 years at $80K a year with all living expenses paid living in a compound. But a couple of months before all the sh!7 hit the fan the company canceled all the contracts.

    When will Utah start charging cards?

    CC hits can happen from now until whenever. That is the problem with Utah's system, you don't know until you receive the email or see it on your CC. Which ever one comes first.

    Friday at 4:45 an old geezer walks into the jewelry store with a hot babe on his arm. The shopkeeper was going to close but figured the guy must be loaded so he’ll stay open. The old man is laying it on thick: “I want to see a ring that won’t look dull compared to my angel’s beautiful eyes.” The...

    Checking wind conditions before range session

    The problem with where I shoot is that the main valley runs north and south but the side canyon runs east and west. Even when the winds are blowing from the north or south in the main valley the winds are just swirling in the side canyon. I usually don't much attention to them unless I plan...

    Checking wind conditions before range session

    I wouldn't do me any good since the area that I go to shoot totally contradicts what is usually going on with the winds in my valley

    Upgrading the Reloading Bench

    Here is a case annealer that I was thinking of building, I still might. There are a few others that you just dump the cases into a hopper and they go through the process all by themselves. Granted you have to build them but you come out with something that works for a lot less money than a...

    When we are a homeowner, it seems as if we are always trying to come up with some new and interesting way to do things that may seem mundane. We may even try to upgrade our home in some way or another, and that is where the story comes in. We want to make sure that our home is protected and the...

    I have never had a problem with my lens fogging up. I have had a load of snow on the lens block my view a couple of times. A couple of ways to keep the lens from fogging up are, store your rifle is the same temperature as you plan on shooting it. Don't take it into the cabin or nice warm...

    I missed that annealer. There are plans on YouTube and other areas of the WWW where you can build your own. I still use the torch and cake pan of water.

    Upgrading the Reloading Bench

    I have looked at the new stuff but I still do it the old fashion way. But I did go high tech when I purchased a RCBS ChargeMaster scale and dispenser. I might have to look at the other accessories to use my birthday discount on this year.

    30-30 WIN iron sight adjustment

    That's where you have to go very gentle on it. A slight movement may put you off the same amount in the opposite direction. I haven't had to do that for many many years. The last rifle that I did it to was a 22 lever action clear back in 1969 or so. The two lever actions that I have now...
