    Is it bad I don't think I'd like a progressive press?

    I have been loading from the beginning from a standard old rock chucker press and still do so today. No turret or progressive anything on my bench. I enjoy it for how slow it is. I have found myself doing things the slow/old way in a lot of things because it's about the process and not about...

    Primers shipped without Hazmat tag!

    Mine came. Free shipping and no hazmat fee as well. Mine had the hazmat labeling on the box. But the primers were shipped in 100 count sleeves completely loose in the shipping box. This led to missing primers that escaped out of a hole in the box.

    Christmas haul

    This as well. After 20 years of marriage, my wife finally has gotten me exactly what I wanted. NOTHING!!! I enjoy watching my children be happy and that is all that matters to me. The things I need, I buy for myself throughout the year. I have almost become anti-materialistic. I do not want...

    350 Legend vs 300 BO

    I own all the above. When you ask the question of "which one," just get both. I hunt deer with both. Both perform perfectly fine at supersonic velocity.

    Reloads for CCW

    I shot some into water jugs. Some of them did not retain their weight and the petals broke off. Not saying that water is a suitable gauge for how they will do in human tissue. But if they couldn't stay together in that medium, it doesn't look good. I was able to score some HST in 9mm, 45...

    110 grain 300 BO

    1680 at 21.2 grains for 110 gr V-Max and Barnes 110 gr TAC-TX is my main load for 300 BLK This cycles my AR platform with a 16" Barrel and a carbine length gas tube. The Barnes bullet and this load has taken it's fair share deer as well.

    Background checks

    We find ourselves in a place where we can no longer lock crazy people up in the looney bins. Mental hospitals of the early 1800's/1900's up until about 1970 were horrible places. There's no doubt about that. But we threw the baby out with the bath water when all the mental asylums where...

    So do I really need a 45/70 Lever Gun to add to the stable?

    Bigger question is why you don't already have one? Everyone that is into firearms should have at least one! :) I know you said reloading is the devil to you. But 45-70 is one of those rounds that you can load mouse farts on the low end and also load it to knock your teeth out. And there's...

    Shotgun ammo for home defense

    12GA buckshot Aguila mini shells for me. I use them in a pump style gun with an adapter to have them feed perfect.

    Reloading bottlenecks, what's a good beginner's cartridge?

    30-06 is nice and easy to reload. You can't double charge most of the powders for it because a single charge typically fills the case with the slower burning powders etc... Brass is plentiful and can be reloaded numerous times.

    I thought Interest Balancing was out? - So much for in common use

    What is "gun violence"? Honest question! In my view, violence has risen. How and what is used during said violence is not a discussion point on the cause of said violence. If you want to address the rise in violence, you have to look much deeper than the object used in the violent acts.

    Dipping Toe Into Hunting

    I hunt to provide meat for my family of five. We do not buy beef. All of our red meat is deer. The rifle setup for hunting is such a small part of the whole hunting experience. But a few questions? 1. How do you intend to hunt? Spot and stalk? Climbing tree stand? 2. Private or public...

    A good powder/bullet for 308

    What ever your gun likes and you shoot well. Part of the fun is trying new loads out!

    Ever had problems with factory ammo?

    Let the manufacturer know. They usually are good about getting back with you and sending you new ammo to replace the bad ones. They will want to know the lot number and other stuff printed on the box. They do have mistakes when their tooling becomes out of tolerance for one thing or another...

    Canadian provinces refusing to confiscate banned rifles

    Most people that want control at the state levels hate the elected sheriffs of the states. They do not report to any state official other than the state constitution. They are locally elected people that report to the people that elect them. They are different than appointed police chiefs as...

    Bonded vs Cup-and-Core for deer?

    Cheap and plentiful have always done the job for me the last 30+ years. I have a stash of Core Lokt ammo and bullets that will last my lifetime. Find what your rifle likes and just go with it!

    New assault rifle being sold to civilians is twice as powerful as the AR15 and shoot thru body armor

    I guess my .308 AR or other calibers that are built around an AR platform are a figment of your imagination. Sometimes you have to wonder how people even breath if they are this dumb.

    Armed Citizen Stops "Crime Spree"

    It is self defense of another! I'll be blunt! Too many people are willing to sit on the sidelines and not help their fellow human for one reason or another!
