This is from another posting over at the TFL archives, regarding Texas' right to secede from the Union. ------------------------------- Harvard Prof. William Gienapp uses Texas as why the CW wasn't about slavery. A lot of the "educated" slavery argument goes that there weren't going to be...

Hey gang, This is a partial posting from the archives of The Firing Line, nearly 8 years ago. ---------------------- Item: In Fort Collins Colorado, the Million Mom Marchers advertised in the local newspaper a meeting of theirs to take place in a Church featuring a speech given by Tom...

I just found out earlier today that the shells I made up in the last few days won't cycle through my pump shotgun. I load up the magazine tube, and then I unlock it to run the first round into the chamber, only to have the shell get stuck while going into the chamber. It gets stuck just before...

Okay, I'm delivering as promised! This was out at the range yesterday. I shot my NEF Pardner Pump (HD shotgun), and it was about 65 degrees in the beginning and had dropped down to about 50 or so by the time I did the triple-aught shots. The range is 25 YARDS, as we were at a public range...

I'm copying this post from another thread, and hopefully, someone will read this and be able to help me out. I'm not sure it's going to happen at all... AT ALL! I just discovered tonight that the load data at Hodgdon's web site appears to be wrong regarding wad usage. You cannot use this load...

I have been in the process of reloading those Win AA hulls, which call for Winchester W209 primers. Since I've found out that the STS hulls would be a better way to go, I checked the Hodgon data center to work up a different load. It called for CCI primers, which I have not been able to find...

Hello! I did some research on Remington hulls and found that Wal Mart has the shells I can reload. The question is, can I simply decrimp the new shells, dump the shot out, stack the buckshot and recrimp it without changing anything? 1-1/8 oz shot is about 492 grains, whereas buckshot is...

I'd like to see what the typical experience is for buying once-fired hulls. I just started reloading, and I chose to go the route of buying the Win AA-HS hulls, once-fired. It appears that a lot of these hulls are actually multi-fired hulls, complete with pin holes in the crimp lines, even...

I finally got down to the bushing that underthrows the charge range I need to load a specific shell. The problem is, I do not have a bushing that throws a charge that is somewhere within the range, nor is there one available that will do so. For instance, on the Lee Load-All II bushing system...

Hey everyone, Last night, I finally set down to find out the relative, average charge weight in grains of each bushing for the Lee Load-All II loader for a given powder. After two bushings, I got tired of taking the press handle off the hopper base, carefully sliding off the assembly, and...

Hey everyone! I have the Lee Load-All II, and I'm curious about how I'm going to be able to get a powder weight thrown, and being able to adjust by .1 grains without having to weigh and trickle every charge because the closest bushing may not come close enough. I look at the bushing capacity...

Hello everyone! I'm just starting to get into reloading. Also, I'm trying to understand how you're supposed to us this charge bar in tandem with the Pro Auto Disk measure on the Lee Classic Turret press. Initially, I looked at the "standard photo" of this charge bar and wondered HNH you...

Hello All! I'm about to get involved in reloading for shotshells. I'm interested in loading buckshot loads (#4 buckshot) in 2-3/4" 12 gauge shells. I already have "The ABC's of Reloading" (which doesn't cover shotshell reloading - that's for .308 reloading when I get to it later next year)...

Hi everyone! Has anyone seen or handled the Taurus M111 9mm pistol yet? That is a special made pistol for a distributor(s) that some online and a few local shops get their guns from. This is the one with the tan body and black slide. I was told that this gun combines the some of the...

On the way home from the range, I stopped in at Walmart, and the ammo guy happened to be there. I told him I was getting prices on shotgun ammo and that I was interested in comparing prices on buckshot ammo. He asked me what I was going to use it for. Home defense, no more than 30 feet, in an...

I was on my way home from the range when I stopped at Academy. I looked at their Maverick 88 and Mossberg 500 shotguns. I asked for comparisons between these two when the salesman told me about the HR Pardner Pump (which I have had for several months). Curious, I asked him why he brought it...
