    Doctor's Inquiry Re Gun Ownership

    I was asked this by a Dr. at a DOT physical 15 or 20 years ago. I asked him what this had to do with my physical, and he said he was just curious. I told him it was none of his business. When I mentioned this to our Human Resources person they started using a different Dr.

    Do you haggle with gun stores?

    I tried to haggle with a local gunstore over a Winchester model 12. They wouldn't even consider it. The gun has been sitting in the rack for 5 or 6 years.

    What are the odds?

    I've seen the miniballs that are smashed together at Gettysburg. They aren't fused, just sort of wrapped around each other.

    An essay: Progressive Press Takes the Fun Out of Reloading

    I love sizing 100 cases I love belling 100 cases I love priming 100 cases I love charging 100 cases I love seating bullets in 100 cases What I really love is reloading 100 rounds on my 550 in 35 minutes and than shooting them.

    Can aluminum shell cases be reloaded?

    I did it once just to see if it could be done. It was a 45 acp. It worked fine. Don't know how many reloads I could have gotten out of it. I also reloaded a steel 9mm case once. It also worked fine.

    Tons and tons of brass at the range. I think I have ten 5 gallon buckets in my shed. More than I can ever reload.
