Does anybody know where dog hair falls on the burn chart? Asking for a friend.
We performed that ritual last April for a member of our desert racing club who passed suddenly of a heart attack. A plywood ship was constructed, his race jersey was the sail and all of his riding gear was sent to Valhalla.I prefer the Viking funeral in the cardboard boat. WHOooooffFFF!
I'm too cheap, I guess. I would have sifted it through two screens....one fine enough to drop only dirt.....and one course enough to drop the powder and hold on to the dog hair!......but then I don't have animals.....so maybe one screen would work.
That would take weeks of therapy for the average mortal. That you survived unscathed is a minor miracle!Don't feel bad. In the middle of the Obama component drought, I knocked over a 8lb keg of W231 !!
Depends on the breed, coat, and time of year... Collie tends to be spiky, a slow burner and a little cold sensitive; but, Jack Russell is temperature insensitive and always very energetic, for example.Does anybody know where dog hair falls on the burn chart? Asking for a friend.
I clean my loading area prior to loading. When I pulled a bonhead maneuver and poured powder in my charge master with the gate open, it was more of an annoyance than a loss. Powder dumped all over my just wiped and dried formica counter, and was put right back in the dispenser.
My dad had a reminder taped to the riser tube but I never use it. Most of my loads are in the 10 grain range and I try very hard to limit atmospheric exposure of powder... I may be over the top but it gets stupid humid here and I haven't had any problems so I'll take that as proof of procedure even if it's extreme.I know that sucks from personal experience. I now have a length of red "no fly" ribbon looped around the drain gate just so I will notice it. Gate closed, check. No fly ribbon removed and stored, check.
delete…. sorry broWe performed that ritual last April for a member of our desert racing club who passed suddenly of a heart attack. A plywood ship was constructed, his race jersey was the sail and all of his riding gear was sent to Valhalla.
His firearms (1911, 12 ga and a .22 rifle) went to his daughter & son in law for the grandkids.
when I was 10 or 11, we stole a bottle of powder from my friend’s dad powder refrigerator and lit it. We also, got an extension cored beating (yes, they beat us in the 80’s) I got 2 extension cord… one from his dad, one from my dadDon't feel bad.

I left my wallet in a bus stop in Australia. It was returned to me in the states, with all the cash and cards, by the bloke who found it. Talk about miraculous.Dropped my wallet from upper deck at RFK stadium at a Redskins game. I did get it back but it was empty of cash.
Your loss is worse.
Reminds me of a saying a friend of mine uses. Instead of saying we've "gotten into the weeds" he says we're "picking the fly poop out of the pepper."Then I poured a very little bit at a time on a clean, white paper plate and, using tweezers, proceeded (for 10 days; it was very tedious) to pick out all the dog/cat hair, dead spiders and any other little bits of debris out of it.

Anyway, sorry for your mishap. There are two kinds of reloaders in this world: those who have spilled powder and those who are going to spill powder. Maybe we should come up with some sort of ritual for when someone changes from the latter status to the former, kind of like when old-time mariners got their ear pierced to commemorate crossing the equator for the first time. Perhaps a tattoo of the powder type on the inside of the wrist. Most people would have no idea what "IMR 4350" or "Titegroup" on someone's forearm meant, but those in the "club" would give a knowing wink.
Only a belt in my house…can still hear the “snaps” of my Dad’s belt against his belt loops. It worked lije a charm.when I was 10 or 11, we stole a bottle of powder from my friend’s dad powder refrigerator and lit it.

My dad didn’t wear a belt. Lol.. if that happened these days. Prison timeOnly a belt in my house…can still hear the “snaps” of my Dad’s belt against his belt loops. It worked lije a charm.
You're absolutely right...empty the jails of true criminals to make room for the fathers that still dare to discipline their children. I remain thankful that I was unable to sit down a few times in my childhood. What I wouldn't give to have dad around to give me another lickin'!My dad didn’t wear a belt.

I got 2 boys now 2.5 & 4.5 I have to watch what I do with them in public. and I’m not just talking about a spanking, had to teach them not to say certain words in public; like Gun, Shoot, Pew Pew, kill… it’s that bad in Seattle.You're absolutely right...empty the jails of true criminals to make room for the fathers that still dare to discipline their children.

GASP!! You spilled the unobtanium Kraut space magic(with Retumbo being a good contender for that title as well) that is Blue Dot?? You should have your THR membership revoked! But for real, my deepest condolences for your loss... I wish I could find Blue Dot myself... I know if I were to spill my precious few pounds each of Retumbo and H1000 (that I paid wayyyyy to much for), I would literally not know what to do with myself, lol.I forgot to tighten the clamp on the powder measure on my Dillon Square Deal and the first pull of the handle it promptly lifted up off the die and hit the floor spilling ½-¾ lb of Blue Dot all over my floor.
I swept it up and put it back in the bottle.
Then I poured a very little bit at a time on a clean, white paper plate and, using tweezers, proceeded (for 10 days; it was very tedious) to pick out all the dog/cat hair, dead spiders and any other little bits of debris out of it.
After the 2nd day, I got pretty good
I just couldn't bring myself to throw it away.

...unobtanium Kraut space magic...
No, I can't say that I have. I have never ever had more than 1 powder on my loading bench.Have you guys ever accidentally mix 2 powders together? I dump a Green worth of Universal into Auto Comp. Lost about 1/4 or so pound. Now, only 1 bottle at a time will stay in my reloading room
