thanks for the suggestions fellas . neatsfoot oil is what I had thought of , but wasn't sure. I think I have some of it . I use the liquid Murphys oil soap to bath my dog , so I have this . the wallet is not as thick as it feels . I think it will be good once it gets some curve in it...

I know a couple of fellas on here do leather work . would you guys tell me , what I could use to soften a leather wallet ? years ago , my Dad had one made and could not get used to carrying it in his rear pants pocket . recently Mom gave the wallet to me . I can't use it , it's like...

I had great results using the 6mm , 100gr partition . it's a solid deer killer .

most reloading lubes are primer / powder friendly . it says on the spray can ; one shot case lube will not contaminate powder or primers I'd load some up and see what happens . primers are tougher than a guy would think .

I've done this, too . I had an old can of IMR4064 . it had a price on it of $10 or $12 . I didn't know what to expect . I loaded a few up with the old powder , and loaded up a few with a new pound of powder . shot them over my labradar , there was no difference . components last a long ...

you can call me cheap , I reused them at $9 per thousand . :)

175 LBS , dressed weight is very impressive . congrats again , you guys sure had a good season .

** always remove live primers before annealing ** I remove the decapping pin in instances that I forgot to resize the brass . if I have to remove a live primer , I push it out slow and steady . I've never had one go off . I keep my pushed out primers , and reuse them . never had a...

when the bullet gets stuck in the seating die , it's caused from the seating stem not matching the bullet profile . some die makers offer different seating stems to match other bullets profiles . you might want to give your die maker a call and see if they offer one to match the RDF profile ...

I did find this . since I'm a print subscriber , I can only get the first paragraph on the online articles . thank you !

17.9 grains is at 103.9 % case fill . this is nothing to worry about . are you using a drop tube funnel ? the drop tube funnel should settle the powder enough that seating the bullet at 2.260 " would be no problem . 17.9 grains at 2.260" gives 43115 PSI which is a mild load. 19.1 grains...

I get the print version of , " Pennsylvania outdoor news " . there was an article by Tom Venesky in the Sept 25 issue I'd like to read again , but I must have thrown it away . I read them , and toss them , so they don't pile up . if anyone has access to it , I'd sure appreciate your...

60.4 - 61.2 looks like a nice wide node . I'd start working at the 60.8 gr and try working seating depth for better accuracy .

I was under the impression that small game fit in the game pouch of your coat or vest . I've carried many a cottontail rabbit , grey and red squirrel , ruffed grouse in my game pouch .
