    Hat destroyed this afternoon.

    Great feeling, isn't it? Same one as when they clip the tail off your shirt when you fly solo for the first time. Congrats!

    Is this true at your local ranges.????

    Yes - at my range too. I haven't done any quantitative analysis - just gut feel from what I see. Most of the AR shooters don't appear to be interested in developing real marksmanship skills either. Shooting at 25 yards, seeing how fast they can empty a magazine, etc. Sure, I joined the AR...

    recommend a rifle for a recoil-phile

    A milsurp M95 Steyr-Mannlicher carbine. Hardest kicking milsurp I own, and I have plenty Moisin-Nagants in various lengths. I'm a big guy and I'd rather shoot my 9.3x62 all day that that M95. For added fun shoot 1930's vintage ammo that will have frequent hang-fires. Pull trigger, wait a...

    How many powders in your inventory???

    I have my go-to powders, then seem to end up with drip and drabs of stuff I was tinkering with. Some I know has been there a while, when I see a price tag of "$11.45" from a shop long out of business on a bottle. Stuff I use a lot: HP-38 H-110 WSF TiteGroup TiteWad Unique H-335 CFE-223 R-19...

    Walmarts that carry gunpowder/other reloading components

    The Wal-Mart in north Scottsdale, AZ used to carry a small amount of reloading stuff, but stopped that several years ago. Dillon HQ and retail store is right around the corner anyways.

    Whats your caliber footprint?

    I see you just joined THR. Welcome, Shaky Hands! Lots of good experience, lore, knowledge (and a bit of ole-fashioned BS) here.

    Whats your caliber footprint?

    <<How do you store and organize ammo for all these calibers? >> I reload all those except the .22lr/wmr I put the cartridges in 4x6 4mil poly bags that I seal with a bag sealer. Those bags are then put into ammo cans. .30-cal cans for rifle, .50-cal cans for pistol rounds. The cans are...

    How far do you drive to shoot if at all?

    15 miles to great club with a 48 bench covered range out to 300 yards, an excellent sporting clays course and several specialty ranges for those involved with specific competitive shooting disciplines. Only $100 a year. There's a relatively new indoor range 4 miles from work that I joined last...

    My last milsurp before 2014 is.......

    Nice. I have several of the 36's and a 49/56. The French guns are always in such good condition - only dropped once. ;-) (Sorry - but you knew someone would say it.)

    Where the heck is all the brass?

    I bought from here http://www.topbrass-inc.com/reloading-supplies/index.php It took 12 weeks to get it, but I got 1000 .357 cases in June this year.

    What's your favorite shotgun?

    +1 on the Beretta AL 391 Urika 12ga. Perfect fit, never lets me down.

    What caliber to build? Savage Short action.

    How about a 250 Savage? Very narrow gap to fill. Second choice, I'd back what Elkins45 said - .358 Win. Great round.

    Poll: In past year did you take new shooter to the range? comment if you did.

    I've taken about 12 this year. I coach high school debate on the side and I've taken a number of the kids (and sometimes parents too) to the range, but only after they listen to a safety lecture and pass a safety test. After they learn the concept with a .22, I let them shoot an old war relic...

    .204 Accuracy?

    I have a Savage 25 in the .204 and it's easily my most accurate smallbore. It likes H335 (mag primer) behind Hornady 32 VMax, but almost every powder I tried gave respectable accuracy. Now a Marlin XL7 in .25-06 is another story. I'm about to give up on. Very inconsistent.

    Dillon Primer pickup tubes

    I had the same problem with a couple. I took a case mouth deburring tool and gave it a very light twist on the metal to make sure there weren't any burrs snaging the primers. Next, make sure the plastic cap is on as far as it can go. If there is any gap between the inside of the plastic cap...

    CZ-550 9.3x62

    @I6Turbo - I got the 550 American. I was tempted by the FS model but finally settled on the American. Good thing I am out of town this week so I don't sit around waiting for a call from my FFL. Pics and Range Report will be posted.
