    "No weapons or firearms allowed" sign

    I skimmed through this thread kinda fast looking for a particular response and didn't see it. You will note that the quote inside the quote above specifies that firearms are not permitted in a building open to the public where liquor, etc., is sold for consumption on the premises. That does not...

    Where are the savings in reloading?

    Ben Shepard: "There is no savings, because you just end up shooting more." Ben, I saw the smilie and I know what you mean. ;) The savings is in the cost per round. That's a decrease in cost per round, whether you shoot more or don't. At some point in reloading you could shoot more for less...

    Questions and Contributions Please! THR Library Update

    I love Merriam-Webster Online and use it all the time. Actually, I ran across a definition of point-blank range a few years back that makes all these only partial definitions. I am still looking for that source again, so as to not take credit for it. However, it goes something like this...

    Questions and Contributions Please! THR Library Update

    I just read through this thread quickly. 'Didn't see any explanation of "point blank". It's an often (almost always) misused term. Another clarification in usage needed is the use of "caliber" (calibre) in place of "chambering". Calibre is an expression of the bore diameter or, probably more...

    Time-lapse photo of AC130 gunship in action

    Here's a 105 crew at work. AC-130A AC-130H AC-130U The U model (or U-Boat, as it is affectionately called) was nicknamed "Spooky", in memory of the original AC-47 Spooky Gunship in Vietnam. The AC-130As did see action in Vietnam. There were also some C-119 Flying...

    To the young men and women of The High Road

    Well said, TBM. "... stay true to yourself ... to your beliefs ..." This little jewel is one that I'd recite to myself every morning on waking.

    I won't make any friends here with this, but here it is anyway...

    JFK understood "trickle down economics". It's an example of "cause & effect". "irrational exuberance" ... I thought that a Greenspan phrase. Lest we forget (from Merriam-Webster Online): Since this is a cut'n'paste quote, I resisted my own quotes around the word "equitably" Faith-based...

    Can you form 38-55 and 375 Win from 30-30?

    Glamdring, My opinion: the 30-30 brass is just too thin at the front of the case for that. I have an old H&R .357 Max rifle barrel that I rechambered with a 30-30 AI chamber reamer. The 30-30 brass is opened up to .357, for a long (untrimmed) version of the .357 Herrett, but that's as far as...

    Even In Scotland ?!?!?!?!?

    'Not surprising from Scotland. Anyone that watched the ceremony of establishment of the Scottish Parliament as an independent body (in June 2000, if I recall correctly) would have thought they were watching a May Day ceremony and parade in Beijing. Each province was represented by a parade of...

    What is your most reliable, accurate data manual? (with poll)

    As far as "load data" goes, they are all suspect and should be cross checked with each other, as C.R. Sam stated. But for the new handloader, (or the experienced handloader for that matter) the best explanations, with drawings/pictures of the firing cycle, the relationship between the brass and...
