    Reloading Oopsie...

    Thank goodness. I can’t say that I’ve ever seen or heard of 8mm Luger pistol cartridge.

    Reloading Oopsie...

    Question to the OP …. does that brass actually say ‘8mm Luger’ on the base or are my eyes playing tricks here?

    Most embarrassing moments at the range

    Not me shooting, was at the indoor range and it was almost full of pistol shooters. As things are going along one fellow a couple of positions down from me lets loose with god knows what. Louder than heck and a big ball of fire. He manages to hit one of the overhead fire sprinkler system...

    Is there such a thing...

    Many of the items noted above could be covered by a “drop cloth” arrangement and kept in plain sight.

    Ammo Hunt, FMJ v.s. TMJ

    Cast lead 45 cal ammo (45 ACP) would be ‘softball’. Just lead with no jacket allows for bullet expansion and less penetration while jacketed 45 ACP (hardball) does not expand and pretty much punches right through with heavy penetration.

    Kimber TLE II loss of accuracy

    Have you changed your shooting routine over the last month or so? If you’re shooting a .357 magnum before your shoot the Kimber maybe you picked up a very slight twitch anticipating the recoil. Wouldn’t take much to be off the slight amount that you are seeing.

    Is it possible to put 2 primers in a pocket?

    What primer seating tool were you using? Some that use a tray (such as Lee) will at times not access the last one or two primers in the feed slot.

    Mom finally is beginning to see the need for a firearm...

    A 10/22 loaded with 25 rounds and a backup 25 rounder is plenty potent at self-defense distance. Would easily poke a 5” hole pattern in most anybody.

    Lethality of 9mm FMJ at very low velocity?

    I would imagine that the parameters of the original post could prove deadly if the impact point were the neck, inner thigh, or inner arm and struck/severed a main artery. Victim could bleed-out in a very short time. Impact at the correct angle into the eye socket may cause critical brain damage...

    Storing guns in the attic

    If you go the store in attic route, put the hanguns in zip-lock style bags just to keep dust and bugs off. You might also consider placing them in clothes dryer or washer, maybe even a dishwasher. Not many crooks would look in those places.

    Bump stocks and Gunbroker

    Listing a bump stock would allow those who might be inclined (government maybe) to know of your possession for whatever reason/use.

    Would you ever donate a firearm?

    Yes, I would donate a firearm no strings attached for a worthy cause. Too many guns that don’t get used anymore. Sort of donating to our church or Goodwill.

    Cartridge display ideas?

    How about using nails or welding rod mounted vertical in the display boards. Punch out the primers in the cases and insert the rounds down onto the “nail/post”.

    The shop gremlin struck again

    Instances such as these is about the only reason I go to a gun show anymore. Search around enough and you may find zip-loc bags of springs, roll pins or gun/scope screws. Then stop for some jerky or brisket to celebrate

    How to determine age of ammunition ?

    Do a web search on “winchester ammo lot number” and you’ll get a lot of hits. Read through some of those posts to see if any data fits. Apparently Winchester lot numbers varied throughout the years depending on when the ammo was made. I check on a few of the posts but did not find your exact...

    Crosshair Alignment

    Level the rifle how ever you want. Then use a plumb-bob (heavy bolt/washer on a string) and align the vertical crosshair with the string.

    Wearing gloves while cleaning guns

    I use nitrile gloves when cleaning or working on guns. Mainly since I’m lazy and hate to wash my hands when I break for lunch. Just peel of the gloves and throw away. No oils/grease on the hands so no smells as you’re eating. I get mine at Harbor Freight but Home Depot, Publix grocery stores...

    Cold Weather Shooting Gloves?

    The OP was looking for gloves to be able to handle speedloaders and a revolver. No mention of hunting. Besides, if you’ re sitting in a blind hunting you can put your hands in your pockets or use hand warmers until a likely opportunity presents itself.

    Cold Weather Shooting Gloves?

    Do a search on biathlon gloves and look for Roeckl (sp?) brand. Since they can cross-country ski and then stop to shot very small targets they may be what you’re looking for.
