    Inspect every round you load

    If the manufacturers are interested, that's enough for me to send it to them along with the empty box for them to inspect. Free stuff is a nice bonus if it happens, but I'm happy just to help out. I'm convinced. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Inspect every round you load

    You're far braver than I am. I don't reload any rifle so I think I'll pull it and let the brass go. Not sure exactly how I'll de-prime it unless I do it the fun way. Most of the apparent corrosion is the poor lighting from my cell phone photo, the orange/red streak is a reflection. The rest...

    Inspect every round you load

    I noticed this last night before loading it into the magazine when it felt wrong in my fingers, so I didn't need the reminder this time, but it did remind me I don't remember carefully inspecting each round in the last few magazines I loaded from this lot and set aside. From a sealed...

    -shotgun: Winchester Ranger 1300 (bought the day after moving into a new house in the woods and having a black bear stare into our window that night) -autoloader: S&W Sigma SW40C (I did not know any better, but that nasty trigger was good discipline for everything that came later) -revolver: S&W...

    Who here has received their Federal ammo rebate?

    I submitted three rebates on March 25th, one approved the next day, with the other two approved over the next couple weeks. I received a rebate card today for the rimfire rebate, still awaiting the other two. Card requires activation.

    Oldest Shotgun you Own

    Iver Johnson Champion, .410 bore break action, likely produced between 1915 and 1919. Decades of dead ants poured from every last part when I disassembled it for cleaning upon inheriting it.

    What was the first gun you ever bought for yourself?

    A Smith and Wesson original Sigma SW40C in .40S&W. To avoid saying anything bad about it, I'll say the trigger pull trained me well for the 637 I bought next and actually carry.

    Federal CCI Rebate

    When I ordered ammo eligible for this promo online, I received a receipt by email minutes after submitting my order. The packing slips that arrived in the boxes with the merchandise listed the contents, but did not list the price I paid. Maybe I am reading too much into it based on the receipt...

    Federal CCI Rebate

    I have dealt with, forgotten about, and allowed to expire, a lot of shoddy rebates in my life, but this one doesn't upset me. I submitted about $100 worth of rebates for Federal and Speer ammo with this current round of rebates. I can see the reasoning behind the extra photos of UPCs and...
