My son called last night. Since the latest market crash he is convinced that Armageddon is just around the corner. He is buying sacks of rice and beans and of course another assault rifle with a 50 round mag which he may need to protect his rice and beans. It did get me to thinking though. What...

My granddad chased Pancho Villa around Mexico which was a military exercise in preparation for WWI. Both horses and mechanized vehicles were used. There were dead horses all over the place because the mechanized supply vehicles carrying the feed couldn't keep up. The whole thing was pretty much...

A new Sportsman's Warehouse opened here in April. They had two pallets of 22 LR. None since. It has been scarcer than Sasquatch. The question I keep asking is how can you hoard something that the retailers are not receiving at least in any quantity? How often do the gun and sports stores like...

I have a CC permit that I seldom use. it seems to me that my risks of carrying out weigh the need. if I was carrying in my car and get pulled over in a school zone I could be looking at years in prison. Things like that. I read posts about those who carry in their own home. if my neighborhood...

Ha ha. You name it I had it, almost. When I first got my driver's license there were Model A's with for sale signs on street corners for $75. My first car was a 49 ford. Over the years I drove a 49 Chev P.U., 55 chev P.U. 58 and 59 Ford P.U.'s Triumph TRIII. 59 0lds sedan. 66 Mustang...

Red Dot and Promo are the the same except for the price. Promo doesn't have the red dots in it. I bought an eight pound jug for under $20 a lb. Data for promo should be the same.

I have a Model 66 no dash. It misfired when I bought it and had a light trigger. I ordered a Wolf factory mainspring and installed it. The new one is twice as thick as the old one. When I went to put the side plate back on it won't seat. There is a high spot right in the middle about where the...

I'm posting this to make you jealous. Last week I bought this model 66 no dash that was manufactured in 1972 according to the #. Stainless sights and in great condition. I didn't know what I was buying and my friend didn't know what he was selling. It was misfiring on every other shot. I took...

Recovered 357 The good news is you got your gun back after 30 years. Is the bad news that you are too old to shoot it?

I'm trying out a S&W 586 that I can get for a good price. It seems to be in exceptional condition except that it misfires more than it doesn't when firing 38's. It seems to be ok with 357 mags but I only had a handful to shoot. To me it practically has a hair trigger in single action and a...

i've been reloading for only five or six months. I started using a Dillon 550 that my son bought. I've got to say I don't think it's a safe machine for a beginner. I kept having trouble with the primer feed for whatever reason. It would work good for awhile and then not. I got pretty good at...

I just bought a 360 count box of Rem 22 lr hollow point from Cabelas with free shipping using their 4 Winter shipping code. The order went through.

Thanks everybody. I was casting bullets and then ingots when I got tired of doing bullets. The bullets were beautiful and the ingots nice and shiny so I guess I didn't get any zinc in the pot. Boy, those were some ugly ingots in that video. That shiny skim on top must have been alloy. I have...

Why buy a single stage Why buy a single stage press when he can buy a Lee Classic Turret for under a hundred dollars new that he won't out grow in a few months? Add the dies, a manual, digital scale and calipers and you are ready to go for under $200. Of course, then there is the powder...
