    WTB .577/455 Martini/Henry 3 Die Set

    Reloading for the 577-450 is an expensive proposition, check Ebay for dies, probably gonna set ya back a hundo or so, couple guys on Gunbroker sell bullets the proper size, lots of the brass is berdan primed, no good options for repriming that now. Good luck, they're a blast to shoot !
  2. Get a packet of good 'ol koolaid, any flavor will do but orange seems to work best, dissolve it in a pint or so of water, put your brass in a suitable container (plastic) and cover with the koolaid you can add a little more water if need be, it will safely take the tarnish off, soak longer if need be ...rinse an dry. been using this method for cleaning range brass for 30 years or better...

    Stuck Case Puller

    You can make one pretty easy, you need a nut or a spacer that will fit over the case head (1/2") will work usually and give you a little space above the cartridge head, a 1/4-20 grade 8 bolt about 1" long with threads the whole length. a nice thick 1/4" washer , and a 1/4-20 tap and the appropriate drill (.200 ish). pull the decap rod back into the case as far as you can, run the drill through the primer pocket carefully so you don't hit the decap rod, run the tap through carefully, brass threads easy though. place the nut over the end of the case , then the washer and your bolt , hold the die an tighten the bolt, case should pop right out. enjoy
  14. Isn't it though, had no idea there was such a thing.

    Best AZ cartridge for AZ

    As others have said it's more about the shooter and shot placement than actual caliber or cartridge. You can kill an elephant with a .22 and an elk shot bad with a supermagnum cannon is still going to run off !! my dad has always said beware of a man with only a few tools, like as not he knows how to use them. Sounds corny but spend your money on practice, in the long run that's where it's at!

    Bear spray advice

    If you are in Alaska and you find a big pile of bear poop how do you tell if it's from a black bear or a grizzly ? Black bear poop will be full of ants, yellow jackets, berries & grass...Grizzly bear poop will have shoestrings in it and smell like pepper spray ! 12ga & brenneke slugs, it's what works every time.

    Elk tags

    The tags are yours even if they don't show up in the mail, had the same thing happen with my brother who lives out of state a few years ago. He just stopped into the office and they printed new ones, cost $3-4 no big deal as hard as it is to get drawn.

    ATV vs UTV vs 4Runner/Samuri/Etc

    Samurai all the way ! We have a couple of them, they are amazingly durable if you stay within the limits ( read as 31" inch tires etc.) mine goes any where I point it and it has a heater and roll up windows ! I think if you are a little handy with the tools you can have a really nice one for around $4000 and there is huge aftermarket support for them. I'm on my second set of all terrains and I usually around 22-23mpg in the dirt at 7000'

    AR fun?

    Sloppy fit or wiggle between the upper an lower will cause this, Ive also seen the bolt catch get worn enough to cause it, some parts are not hard enough to last.

    Tire change Improve towing?

    I think I'd probably check to see what gears are in the diffs. these trucks can have 3.25 to 4.10 gears that alone with the bigger tires can make a huge difference. Also some programmers will let will let you change the tire dia which will change transmission strategy in the computer. These motors are factory tuned for emissions 1st which leaves horse power and mileage on the table for a legitimate tuner. There probably is a combination of things that you could do to help the towing performance for reasonable $$.
