    38 special, is .2 grains difference in the load from the powder drop a problem

    sounds like maybe a problem caused by the powder settling in the hopper ? some powder measures have a baffle available , to keep the weight up off the measuring cylinder . maybe you could make some type of a baffle , to see if it helps .

    handy tip of the day

    this roll might be melted a little more than necessary . I had my grandson for a week , and he was my helper . if you do this , and it's not enough , you can always melt it more .

    talking about the enduron powders , I don't think it's a matter of "IF" it goes bad , it's more a matter of "WHEN" it goes bad . my opinion is , it should have been all recalled . it's got to be a bad chemistry issue . too many guys having this problem . a problem never seen before ...

    handy tip of the day

    I'd have never thought of this , if I didn't need to fix up a new roll of tape . funny how we just do things , without much thought .

    22in barrel 1in12 twist bullet weights ?

    I'm not sure if they wear out ? I'd guess it would really be a high mileage one , if it was worn out .

    Enduron Powder suspected issue

    my guess is chemistry issue . if it was improper storage , the enduron line would still be in production .

    Antelope mount

    If a guy did many skulls , the beetles would be the good way to go . I'm not sure how you keep beetles alive during the off season . or how much the cost would be to get started with beetles . you did a nice job , I'm glad your daughter likes it .

    handy tip of the day

    it's flagging tape season . I needed a new roll of flagging tape , and I thought I'd pass along a tip for keeping a roll of flagging tape from unwinding . I clamp a nail in my vice . heat it up with a propane torch until it's plenty hot . press the roll of tape against the hot nail ...
