(you can Google it) It is a metal alloy that melts at about 160 degrees. You lightly oil the barrel, and plug it just ahead of the chamber with a cleaning patch. Not too tight. You pour the melted Cerrosafe right in the chamber, using a tube if needed. It cools very fast and can be tapped out. It…Read more

The higher power 4 x 16 will be better with long range shots and because it is larger, will let in more light. That helps in low light situations. But, it is likely larger overall and slightly heavier and you have to weigh that out (pun intended). For me, the lowest power scope I can use for the…Read more

Cut my TalonSS db rating in half! I say be patient as he has had to recently set aside production to focus on more important things. He has announced that he will soon be up and running again.

But, if it is primarily accuracy you are interested in I suggest you pick a fixed range that you are most likely to shoot. If paper targets that’s easy. If critters, get a sense of what range you will typically use. Then set up a target at that range and fill the bottle to 3000. Using sandbags or similar…Read more

I think Duct Seal has a high melt point. But, lead does not. Wondering if the lead can be melted out of it? I have a lead pot somewhere and can set up an experiment outside (fumes?).

BTW, most hemostats you get now are imported. Used to get US made ones from a surgical supply…Read more
