You pressure can carp at 11 pounds pressure for 1 hour and 40 minutes...
I "can" in pint jars.
Fillet the carp and soak in a salt water brine for 24 hours, then rinse the carp in cold clear water.
Sterilize the jars.
Put one tablespoon ketchup and one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in the...

I have used this method for the past 40 years.
Put a lead pot on the stove, open the kitchen window and set up a draw fan so you're not breathing the lead fumes.
Dip the case neck and shoulder into mica dust (motor mica) then gently holding the rim of the case with a pair of pliers, hold the...
I own 2 revolvers that I carry for self defense.
Smith and Wesson 686 with a 6" barrel length. This gun is always loaded with Remington's 158 gr. JHP ammunition...
Ruger GP-100 with a 6" barrel. This gun is always loaded with Remington's 125 gr. JHP ammunition...
Why revolvers? Accuracy is...
You want to drop the cases into a pan of cool water as soon as they come away from the heat, whether you anneal with an open flame or a lead pot like what I use.
The purpose of dropping the case into a pan of water, is to keep the annealing from getting to too close to the head and weakening...
I had looked at those AMP machines before, and like you, it's hard to justify the money for something like this!
I annealed 100 44 magnum cases this morning, that will be turned into a .224 Stark. This case will require two more annealing's, to keep the neck/shoulder from splitting...

Is there anyway you can put a set of sights on that 20 ga., either adjustable rifle type sights or a red dot?
Putting a red dot on my 12 ga., and depending on the barrel, load and choke, it allowed me to "accurately" and consistently increase my killing range from 70 yards out to 125 yards...
I look forward to your shooting report.
Too wet to get back to my shooting range, but will certainly do a posting as soon as the rains stop and it dries up some.
I have done velocity and pressure testing on my single round ball loads, and I'm looking forward to accuracy testing, when, you...
Got my 12 ga. .690 round ball and "pellet slug" mold out and loaded up a few for testing.
Round ball loads are just over 1,700 fps. and have provided best accuracy through a Hastings modified choke tube.
Pellet Slugs are in 5- round groups with velocity readings from 1,200...
