    Have you ever had a bad day while hunting?

    Most every day I hunt for deer and/or black bear when the temperatures are well below freezing, and don't see one thing the entire day are bad days for me. The first (and last) buck I bagged was the last-century (early 80's or so). Same holds true for the black bear I bagged within a...

    How do you gentlemen reset your rifle dies?

    Do you trim your brass on a regular basis? I'm anal about trimming my brass, my brass in every caliber for which I reload. I want the bullet seated and crimped just right and the easiest way I have found to make consistent loads without adjusting anything is to cull the brass using a dial...

    How old were you when you first started going into gunstores by yourself?

    11 y.o. I was about 11 years old when I was frequenting gun stores without an adult, one, or both of my parents may have been waiting outside in the car for me as I went in to buy .22 rimfire bullets as I did a lot of competition shooting at the NRA local indoor range which was in the local...

    Saboteur operating on armslist?

    There necessarily would not be powder burns on the bottom of a squib bullet. I fired some .380 Auto factory ammo a couple years ago that burned so cleanly, the insides of the fired-cases appeared shiny and good-as-new, save for a fired-primer. The insides of the cases were unbelievably-clean...

    Do you remove the case lube after ammo completion?

    I had a box of new factory pistol cartridges given to me from a friend who is essentially a chain-smoker and smokes in their house. The new box of cartridges were about 15 years old and stunk like stale cigarettes. All the new, OEM factory brass cartridge casings had brass which was...

    Who "needs" 30 round Magazines?

    I have a 15# Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher in my garage entrance. Why do I have such a large extinguisher when I could have one of those little First-Alert hand-held units worth a fraction of what I spent on the large one. I'm not planning on having a fire in my garage, I'm not planning on...

    Rude jerk at the range today

    Weren't his shoes on the ground? You could have asked him to give you his shoes in exchange for the few pieces of brass he could scrounge.

    I'm tired of gun shows...

    I've only been to several in my life and that was what kept me from going back year after year. The place is generally such a mob-scene that there isn't even elbow room. Everyone is standing around to the point where you need to say "excuse me" about a thousand times in two hours, finally...

    Rude jerk at the range today

    As Yo Mama said I have found, in life in general, what goes around eventually comes around. You probably won't get to see the results of his being an a$$, but know that eventually he will "get-his" in return for that.

    Store ammo bullet up or down?

    Both ways, doesn't matter to me. Whichever way the plastic box holds the ammo the best yet is the easiest to remove said ammo from said box.

    Is this typical?

    depends..... How much was the scope worth? If it is some Chinese $8.99 special, what do you expect? Now, if it is a Leupold, Vari-X-IV, that's a whole different ball-game!:cuss: I saw a Chinese .22 rimfire scope that sold for $4.99 Try putting that on an '06 and see how far it flies!

    How necessary are scopes for medium/big game hunting?

    The main considerations are distance, distance and distance from the shooter to the target. If all your hunting shots are, say, within 60 yards, who needs a scope?

    Chris kyle shot dead

    I know of several people who suddenly died. They each had someone out to get them. It made me wonder, did they really die, or did they change their identity to start a new life? I'm sure it's no fun going around looking over your shoulder everywhere you go. Not saying this didn't happen...

    Used tumbler for the first time, what a pain!

    Lyman Turbo Media Sifter I dump mine into a Lyman Turbo Media Sifter. This item can be found at www.MidwayUSA.com right now, the price on this item is $9.99 and is currently available. I have reloaded over 30 years. The 'trick' is to not only shake the cases/media but to have a large-enough...

    Does repeated dry firing damage the gun?

    My .22 Ruger Mark II has a crosspin in the bolt that prevents the firing pin point from hitting the chamber. If I were to accidentally leave that pin out then dry-fire my gun, one shot would most likely ruin the firing pin and possibly the outer edge of the chamber as well.

    Does repeated dry firing damage the gun?

    As in most things, it all depends on what you mean by "repeated." If you mean dry-firing the cylinder holes once a week, more than likely no problem. Most likely, even once a day, no problem. If you mean doing it 1,000 times a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, then, yes, there will...
