      Reloading Manuals

      The Lyman Pistol & Revolver Handbook would be a good place to start, street price is about $20. Since Lyman is independent, their manuals have a variety of powder and bullet manufacturers listed, along with a number of lead bullets.

      Scope Imperfections?

      Small specks like that are sometimes paint flecks that are separating from the internal black paint.

      I need well pump help

      It's been a while since I worked on a well pump... I recall there was a pressure switch that closed when the tank was empty (low pressure) and opened when the tank was full (high pressure). You should be able to temporarily jump across that switch/close the circuit to start the pump.

      Just flew over my house!

      It's the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Ford Tri motor tour. More information here. They were in Columbus in 2021 and we took our grandson and his mom for his first ever airplane flight. :)

      Recommended places to stay in Traverse City Michigan on the water?

      Traverse City has a nice website where you can search for lodging. The last time we stayed in Traverse City, we used a motel that was well off the water, so no help there. If they don't have to stay in Traverse City but can stay anywhere on Grand Traverse Bay, there are more options for lodging...

      Bird Seed

      Our birds like the black oil sunflower seeds; that is typically all we use. I no longer buy any seeds blends since the birds usually go for the sunflower seeds and the rest of the blend ends up on the ground. ;) If you have a finch feeder with the small feeding holes you can fill those with...

      Ever file the burrs off the headstamp?

      During one of the previous reloading supply shortages I bought some Jamison .357 Magnum brass. That brass would hang up on the recoil shield of my Ruger Blackhawk, to the point that the cylinder was hard to rotate. It appeared to be caused by a slight burr around the primer pocket, so a very...

      Removing decal adhesive

      When I replaced decals on a boat, the graphics supplier had a product called Rapid Remover. Works very well to remove adhesive residue. It's available at Amazon. Alternately you can ask at an auto parts store what they have for removing adhesive, 3M has several products that should do the job...

      ordered from ebay

      Yes, I've purchased from a vendor that shipped from Amazon. Apparently some sellers have accounts on both ebay and Amazon, when they receive payment from ebay they ship from their Amazon account.

      Old school Mag Light LED upgrades?

      A great, but high dollar, solution is Malkoff Devices. I have their conversion for a Surefire 6P and it is a simple and effective upgrade to the standard bulb.

      IMR SR 4756 in 10mm-OLA moves

      Maybe you could replace the seating stem with a flat plug that would seat the bullet by the nose, not the ogive. That would tighten up the OAL length variation, given that the XTPs are of uniform length.

      DC: City government want victims of carjacking to pay traffic fines carjacker racked up after he stole their car

      They will also want gun owners and gun manufacturers to pay for the damage caused by criminal use of stolen or otherwise illegally obtained firearms.... so this isn't at all surprising.

      IMR SR 4756 in 10mm-OLA moves

      When you say the OAL varies as much as .050 inch, is that +/- 0.050 (OAL of 1.200 to 1.300) or a total of 0.050 inch (OAL of 1.225 to 1.275)? As you probably know the seating stem contacts the bullet on the ogive, not the end, so the OAL length will vary based on the consistentcy of the shape of...

      What replacement foam for hard case?

      If I have to store a firearm in a foam case, I place it into a VCI gun storage bag like these from Zerust. No worries about corrosion.

      What replacement foam for hard case?

      I've been recommended The Foam Factory for foam. They can cut custom foam, or supply egg crate sets and the ubiquitous pick and pull foam.
