    Should kids be shooting at human silhouette targets?

    A lesson everyone should learn: There is a difference between fantasy and reality. All of us over a certain age played Army, Wild West, or some such across neighborhood back yards. Some of us were lucky enough at 8-years-old to shoot .22 rifles at targets in the basement. Never did I confuse...

    First try at wet tumbling, how do I store my pins?

    I leave 'em in the bottom of my spinner, first draining out most of the fouled water into a bucket. Then let the pins dry. Some get stuck to the side. I use an empty case to jiggle them loose when I put them back in the tumbler for the next round. No rust. No problem. No work.

    Thoughts on people who claim "Only people who are formally trained should be able to own a firearm"?

    Bah! — It’s an excuse to control. The dangers of those who would credential are far more difficult recover from than those caused by naive neophyte gun owners.

    Ever been attacked by something when hunting?

    Used to carry a 9MM auto in a shoulder holster under the jacket while hunting but, after having a wolf pass by 30 feet away while sitting on watch, decided that I needed an easily accessible holster on the outside in case I could not get the .308 turned around in time.

    any problems loading 9mm blue bullets?

    Tried a couple Blue Bullets of 115 gr but settled on 126gr because of the greater accuracy with TightGroup in my CZ75. I have found no problem with seat and crimp with my Hornady dies. The bullet feeder? Well, that is another matter. Finicky. I several bullets in my hand for when the feeder...

    Getting started, what equipment do I need?

    A spiral bound notebook to record each new load and record the results of bench-testing each one. You'll need to go back to find the best ones because, well, you get old and forget.

    Reloaded shells are more black...normal?

    Final piece of advice. Whenever you stop, or whenever you are interrupted, remove every case from the turret, dump any powder in any cases and start fresh. Too easy to think you are paying attention when you are not. P.S. You seem to be having fun and paying attention to detail. Yay! That and a...

    What was the first cartridge/gun you ever fired?

    Either a .22 CB Cap or a .22 BB Cap — can't recall which was first — in a bolt action Remington target rifle, resting on a ladder in the basement because it was too heavy to hold up at about 8 yrs old. They were smaller than a .22 short. From Wikipedia: The .22 CB Cap (Conical Breech Cap) is a...

    Your ammo cache in a safe or not

    Safe it under lock and key where youngsters might get curious. They want to pull bullets in a vise. They want to hit primers with a nail. Don't ask how I know.
