    A question about reloading benches

    Echo Rangers comment on light, the more the better. I’m now on my *fourth* loading bench, No’s 1-3 were all combinations of dimensional lumber with a plywood top at 42” off the floor. They were all built to fit inside a closet and No3 was literally 2x4s bolted to the walls and a double 3/4ply...

    Fluke Finds

    Re: Flike Finds I’m not sure if one would say I found it so much as took advantage of a sucker. My Brother in Law, Mr. Get Rich Quick, dreamed up his latest instant million dollar scheme some years back and let slip he was selling off a list of firearms to finance it. I immediately sent him...

    Pink Pistols

    I’m not just a member, I chair the Portland Chapter. We have a great bunch of people in the group and I’m pleased to say that several of them are my best friends. The organization is open to all, I don’t even ask about orientation when people want to join; I do love the expression on their...

    ages?

    Okay, I'm 52. Judging by the poll, my guns and reloading equipment are older than about half the members here. The youngsters posting indicate more like a two-thirds of the members are younger than my hardware. Hardtarget is right. The kids are the future of our shooting rights. It's good...

    Problem loading Rainier bullets in 45acp brass

    Hi Chief My RCBS Piggyback II would need to have a sixth station to apply the taper crimp, so I do it manually with a Lee hand press and factory crimp dies. I know, it doesn’t mesh with a progressive loader but I can’t upgrade to the Dillon unit just now. I ran a box of my friend’s bullets...

    Problem loading Rainier bullets in 45acp brass

    I had the same problem trying to load plated slugs from West Coast Bullets. The bullets were either shaved with the plating piled up in wrinkles ahead of the case, or the case was crushed. I flared the cases until they barely fit into the seating die, adjusted the seating die to apply no...

    Is it worth saving brass?

    Re: Is it worth saving brass. Good question. I started shooting and handloading simultaneously; the cost differential was significant at the time. I have been a compulsive brass picker ever since and even justified, to my self, the purchase of a Beretta 92s when I noticed a thousand empties...

    Good day at the range!

    Re--Good day at the range! Actually, I just had a good day at the range myself. My club just hosted an open shoot and one member invited everyone at work, I thought we left the rendezvous point with five cars and eight arrived. Only one newbie, with a very devoted Dad to keep an eye on her...

    DI P-380 Question.

    After reading this thread. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=227104&highlight=P-380 I still have a question someone might be able to answer. Is the stainless P-380 still pot-metal or is it good quality steel? Any advice would be appreciated. Mike }:)>

    H110 is messy in my Pro-Auto Disk, is Win 296 better?

    This is all very interesting. I’ve been using H110 for about thirty years, mostly to load the US GI .30carbine with some used in full power .357 and .44mag. WW powders were supposedly dirty so I used the Hodgdon product with no problems concerning powder fouling of the gas system. My Speer...

    Should VT Pres. and Blacksburg Police Chief Be Fired?

    Rem700SD is absolutely right. I started to skim past and then I saw this, “CRIMINALLY prosecuted”. I agree completely with that! This dumbA$$ was contacted by campus police about a double murder in a dorm (including an employee of the college), the city police had to be notified as there is...

    Non-shooting Sports Fans?

    I’m not a sports fan in the least. Gun ranges are somewhere between deserted and sparsely populated during major sporting events; the more ding-a-lings watching a children’s game on TV the better. I have spent many a “Stupor Bowl Sunday” all alone at a range and loving the solitude. }:)>

    Updated: So much fun, they are illegal

    The jacket seems all right, maybe change the pants to something more upscale to match it. Question. If she’s on the firing line, why isn’t she wearing the eye protection and earmuffs? }:)>

    Ever let someone borrow a firearm?

    I did so once and will not do so again. My friend was trustworthy enough but it took four requests to retrieve it. He had no idea where he had hidden it to keep it safe and spent an hour trying to find it on the fourth visit. This was supposed to be a gun to protect himself and family from a...

    What should a non-gun owner know about guns?

    Abby hit the Eddie Eagle program this morning but redneckrepairs hit the nail on the head. Telling someone to “not touch it and find someone who knows what to do with it” is the lowest common denominator of the three questions posed in your post this morning. Any number of scenarios can be...
