Reminds me of the Colt Museum that used to be in Gettysburg. People were told they were buying blank-firing replicas. They came to Reddings to purchase the "blanks." The only trouble was that they had bought a replica alright, with a percussion cap, powder and ball they had a live pistol...

Here in Gettysburg we used to have the Colt Museum. They were selling repro black powder guns to the tourists as "blank" guns. The museum has been closed for years now.

Exactly what is referred to as "OCD?" :confused:

I hope you don't get in trouble at work!! :eek: I got a three-day supension when doing that!

You get what you pay for!! :eek:

I certainly like the .25-06. I have mine in a single-shot Remington 40XB Rangemaster.

You can never go wrong with a good (Victornox) Swiss Army Knife! :) I've carried one for at least thirty or forty years! :what:

For a typical .38 Special revolver, you don't have to worry so much about seating depth. It only has to be seated flush for the semi-automatic pistols chambered for this round, like the Smith & Wesson Model 52. Just load them and shoot them! :)

It may not be such a good thing if the people buying all these guns haven't a clue about how to use them and refuse to learn! Then that would be an accident just waiting to happen! :eek:

Unless you buy a full-fledged machine rest, anything you use will have to be moved back into position for the next shot! That's just a fact of life.

I found the case separators to be dusty too. I just fish out the cases with my hand. No dust!

Did you ever think of buying two (or more) loading manuals? Speer does list loads for the .357 Magnum and the hollow base wadcutters. You shouldn't depend on the web (except maybe for the bullet and/or powder manufacturers web sites) for loading data. Too many of us with bad memories and even...

Good luck on your trip. Leave the guns home and you won't have to worry! :D

The Smith and Wesson semi-automatic is the Model 52. I know, I have one!! :D

The basketball dream team is made up of professional players! I don't know if that restriction is worth much these days! By the way, does anyone remember that the late actor Robert Stack was an olympic shotgunner?
