Thing is that guns aren't really popular around here. People keep their gun related hobby hush hush here.
Probably to keep them from being stolen LOL. Keep asking around and you should find some propellant and primers in the near future.
don’t be scared to be a gun advocate, I live in Seattle with 90% gun banners around. I drive a Prius and had long hippie hair. It’s all about education! Show and tell! y
Well, that’s not good but if that’s how it is, you’re welcome to come here for advice and inspiration - otherwise known as shameless enabling.
I’ll wager if I put an NRA sign in my front yard it would be defaced within a week. I stopped putting out campaign signs in 2000 when twice someone came into my yard and wrote “F…You” on my Bush sign.
I hope I get old enough to not care anymore, but, I’ve seen every flag here except the American flag (very rare). I’m more of a low key, let’s talk about facts and not feelings, kidda conversations. Show them recent attack videos here, and how QUICKLY a 2020 idiot riot can happen overnight. Not trying to convince them to own guns, but be situations aware and have escape plan. I don’t think everyone should have a gun, especially if they don’t know how to safely handle it or not willing to learn.
if you see primer SPP around $100, just get a case to get you through the reloading training.
You’re absolutely right—keep on topic.
You mentioned getting brass for free at ranges :nope.
We all got trials and tribulations and folks who make assumptions so I think the @gobsauce idea of using black in a Model 10 is not terrible and maybe instead of trying to steer to smokeless, try suggesting some good BP recipes and tips. Here's one: As was mentioned, when you go looking for primers, try to find either small rifle primers or magnum pistol primers. Black powder really performs better with higher brisance.
I like this post because it’s informative sure but also enough acronyms to qualify for government work
PUOA is SOP for times when you might have to BOHICA. Typically, total FUBAR SITCON. LMAO, L8R.I like this post because it’s informative sure but also enough acronyms to qualify for government work
I do this thing with my 1851 where I "season" the insides with crisco. Fouling hardly ever gets into the innards, but if it does it won't start destroying the components. That, and all i have to do is give it a nice rinse with hot water, dry it and back in business.PUOA is SOP for times when you might have to BOHICA. Typically, total FUBAR SITCON. LMAO, L8R.
Oh, just thought of something else I remembered about cartridge BP. Some of the CAS fellows posted a while back about how they pre-treat their guns with Ballistol and grease to fully enclose and protect the trigger group, hand, ejector and such. Supposed to make cleanup faster and prevent internal rust. Check on the cowboy boards about it, and ping @Jim Watson, I think he is one of the guys who does the whole-gun approach to BPC. I don't do that with my top-break IJ's, H&R's or Webley but, I also don't have a problem getting them cleaned up quick.
Not sure how a DA will respond to that but, WTH, give it a shot. Let us know if there's some DA/SA magic we need to add to the BPC spells book.
I have, the only people who legally carry reloading components are Cabela's and Academy. Can't find anything in either.
Well, it's just grease. The only difference is that it's not petroleum based.
Don Chuy retired when I was in highschool , and the exchange hasn't had any in a while. I hardly go there, they had $1k mosins before the pandemic. Very expensive place, but I'll admit that I completely forgot about it.
