Sounds interesting if not appetizing. (We have everyone up here and fusion cuisine is a real crap shoot.). But anyway one of my sons dated a Salvadoran girl in high school and told her mom I liked tamales. I got more than you could shake a stick at but I never knew what was really inside. They quit dating when she found out I had firearms—still terrified of MS-13 from back home I guess.
Yeah, sadly, there's a certain cross-section of central Americans who still harbor old prejudices against El Diablos Blanco. Men with guns and up to no good in that region in the 80's and 90's contributed greatly to that distrust.
I never find anything useful like that. But, a couple years ago I stumbled upon my old work ID (with embedded chip) in a dresser drawer. I retired way back in 2006 and they still sent someone to the house to retrieve it. That chip must’ve been made of brass!I can tell you what NOT to do: don't do what I do. I have ziploc baggies of brass in boxes in a storeroom attached to the house. Also have brass in unmarked boxes, snack jugs, carboard mailing boxes, used ammo boxes, new ammo boxes, 30/50cal ammo cans, oyster buckets, and every once in a while I'll find loose, mixed brass in sandwich baggies in an old range bag. It's like a never-ending Easter egg hunt of miscellaneous shooting items. I found a plastic shopping bag from a pawn shop I used to haunt decades ago with four sleeves of Winchester LPP in it. It was wadded up in an old NRA range bag I used before Y2K. The price tags said 5/$20 - $4/each - and there were only 4 in it so... Not sure how much I paid, if anything (Rich used to just wave his hand and say, "I'll get you next time..." when I picked up sale stuff) or when I got them. Some day I'm going to go nuts and all of these little surprises will be like Christmas every day.
Yup. Only, way I do things, it's 100/500. 5 "boxes" of rifle brass - reloadable and in good shape, Boxer primed - and you're kind of obligated to get something to shoot them out of. That's also how I ended up with a .221Fireball barrel for the T/C. I ended up selling the barrel before I shot all the loads I made. PIF'd the bullets and cases just recently, used the powder to make sparklers.
Check your IM.
Does this statute apply if you make the brass? I'd really like to make some 7mm Mauser brass and I think I have enough .30-60 to exceed your stated threshold.
In my case I've been pondering a firearm purchase for nearly a decade. Accidently bought 4 boxes of 38 Super, not realizing, at the time, that 38 Super even existed. I was trying to order 38 Special. Everytime I look at that ammo I think...hmm, wonder if I can find am economical 1911 in 38 Super? Then the wife says..."just give someone the ammo". Thankfully, I don't know anyone that shoots 38 Super, so my future 1911 dream remains in place.
LOL! I traded some .223 ammo for reloading supplies and ended up with several thousand rounds of primed .38 and .357, which caused me to buy a new revolver.
Whenever I ate that kind of thing around the world, I always convinced myself the meat was either pork, lamb, or goat. Never wanted to think about it being dog or monkey or some such stuff..LOL!
You know ever since this pandemic I’ve become Howard Hughes-like and don’t want anyone but my wife getting anywhere near my food and even that’s for short periods under close supervision. (Last part isn’t true)
I grew up in the swamps. I eat things happily that make most folks queasy. I won't say what (cause I don't want to offend and we are getting off topic) but let's just say hunting in the Florida swamps prepared me for eating native in central America. Sometimes yummy stuff sounds horrible, looks worse, and smells like a hyena's breath, but it darn sure do taste good!
me too ... lol
You can have my share too!
