    Firearm laws you do support....

    Let's be careful out there I support a law to prohibiting foreign born fascist persons from having security details carrying loaded weapons after they are elected president of the United States of America. Clearly, these weapons should be stored, firing pins removed, in locked gun cabinets in...

    There are an estimated 875 million firearms in global circulation.

    If we ALL go out and buy another rig this weekend, we can kick that 300,000,000 number up a notch. :)

    Has anyone ever tried a 110gr bullet in a magnum?

    110 grain in .357 mag with a good dose of H110 yields Uber flash. It'll keep you warm on cold days. :)

    Hardening cast lead bullets

    Water Dropping - Increased BHN at no cost I water drop out of convenience. I have always done it that way. I get remarkable BHN #s out of water dropped WW alloy I drop into a cheap SS mixing bowl and I drain on an old towel afterward. Most of my projectiles are for .357 mag, 38 super, 40...

    Whats the deal with these hazmat charges?

    +1 on Powder Valley. I have been happy with their service and they are prompt and shipping charges are reasonable. I think UPS doesn't want to ship reloading components and the hazmat is a way to make money off of us. Remember, they are the ones who require you to use 2nd day air for...

    helpful reloading hint

    A similar scenario occurs as you're swinging a hammer and look down and think that your thumb is too close to the nail head. Studies show that your initial assessment is typically 90% accurate. rob

    12 Grit or 24 Grit Walnut?

    Uflyer, I bought the 12 grit at harbor freight. It is the same size as the stuff I had been getting at shows. It's a good value at $1/lb. rob

    What is Sierra (bullets) thinking? Their prices are ridiculous and I've had enough!!

    The way is it supposed to work in an economy that doesn't have a ministry of mortgages and ministry of autos is: when the price becomes too high for a company to sell goods based on people's ability or inclination to buy, then sales decrease and the company makes prices adjustments, accepts...

    "I'll never reload cuz I've seen to many guns blow up"

    I have never seen a gun blown up in person, I have been to the range a lot in the last 25 years and have discharged pretty near 100,000 reloaded rounds. I have had a few misfires, but none were damaging to me or my hardware, because I had my thinking cap on when they happened. I did see an...

    Caliber war if you were limited

    I'd choose the 45 ACP in model 1911. Ammo, magazines, and parts are available. It has good stopping power in a self defense situation. Need more if you are around bears or other large aminals and... It can be silenced in a doomsday scenario. :rolleyes:

    The Election is over! November 4th Happened! Get Over it!!

    So far, BHO has has not shown us his fast ball. He's throwing sliders and off speed stuff down the middle and and middle away. I think everybody is on edge from his far left agenda, as evidenced by his speech, interviews, and voting record. He has clearly stated that he wants to ban certain...

    1911 for around $800, thinking about Taurus

    I agree with the Springfield, Colt, Para, and S/W 1911 suggestions. I chose a S/W DK 1911 over a Kimber for several reasons. The S/W reviews I read were very good and Sportsman Warehouse near my house was running a great price on it. The S/W is pure 1911 except for the external extractor. My...

    one rifle only poll

    .30-06 does have more muzzle energy than .308, but I understand that most championship shooters in .30 cal are using .308 Win. I think the best advice would be to own both. I agree with other posters and don't own them, but I understand from other hunter buddies that 25-06, and .270 are...

    Bullet Alloy Recipe

    I think the data shows that the vast majority of hardening is achieved with the Sb and trace As. Tin is expensive and concentrations greater than 2% don't do much for your alloy. Tin lowers the melting point of the alloy and help improve bullet fillout. I use WW, range scrap, and linotype...

    Wolf 223 primers

    I have used the Wolf Small (normal) pistol primers. My groups are a little larger with pistol, but not significantly so. I typically use Fed or Win primers and have worked up loads with Wolf primers that group well. I did have 1 primer out of 1000 so far that didn't fire. I did not examine...

    Treated corn cob media ???

    Nu-Finish in the orange bottle is a good case cleaner also. You can get walnut media at Harbor freight also. It's about $1/lb. in 25# box. I mix a little Nu-Finish with Midway case cleaner and get very good results

    so, say that our nightmares come true and....

    I agree. The polls are cooked. The mainstream media is setting up a scenario where polls show obiden ahead and then McCain/Palin win. This of course will give people the right to riot and claim the election was stolen, thereby giving the race baiters like Jesse, Al, and company a few more...
