    Sellier & Bellot .32 S&W 100gr Wadcutter

    I just got a flyer from Range USA and they this on closeout. $29.99/50. Don't see that often. If you have one of their ranges near you they will ship-to-store for free. I know there's a lot of .32's around here, and not everybody reloads.

    Walmart observations

    After waiting 15 minutes for a manager to come sell me ammo, they informed me they could only sell me two boxes of .22. It's not 2021 anymore Walmart. I can buy as much as I want online. I told her nevermind. I won't bother with them anymore. In other news, they were wiped out of Modelo and...

    Model 27 at the LGS

    My LGS has a 5" Model 27, serial S 270XXX, non-matching Magnas with a chip in one side at the butt. Actually I didn't check for a serial number but they didn't look right to me. There is some sparse light freckling on the right side of the frame only. It's there but it's minor and I didn't even...

    TGI Fridays files for Chapter 11

    That's kind of sad. I took my now-wife on our first date there. In 1980 it was the happening place. We now live two miles from where it was. Funny. The date was a disaster. We had just gotten our food and a Mom and her little boy were rushing by the table (later I figured out she was trying to...

    The Dessert Warrior.

    Nope, not a typo. Dessert as in cake not desert as in sand. They've got a whole line of items dressed up like this. Even Swiss Army knives. Well, that's ... different ... "The Elementum II joins the DESSERT WARRIOR family! Collectors will love the Elementum's delectable icing-blue blade, the...

    How times have changed....

    I'm home alone today. My days of getting into trouble at times like this are long past. Let's see what's on the tube. I fire up Pluto and start scrolling. I like Pluto. It's owned by Paramount and there's a boatload of content. Today's find: Sea Hunt. Yeah, kind of a favorite as a kid but I was...

    Bingo....$50 small pistol primers.

    I did some cipherin' and figured that with inflation since the pandemic that primers should be about $50. OK they're the Argentine brand but I've been using them. I've had a few ignition problems but only in one gun that may have had some spring "adjustment" for trigger pull. I've used about...

    FOUND

    Anybody have a reasonably good condition K-frame, .500 width, "Full Target", hammer with the center-fire firing pin in the hammer? Years ago I put a .500 Target trigger in my Model 66-2 but I cheaped out and left the original hammer. I've always regretted that. It looks a little weird. It's...

    Sub $50 primers...

    Norma USA sent out an email flyer for the Argentina Servicios y Aventuras primers at $49.99/m. At the least, it's the competition gaining market share over the domestic producers. Someday they'll want us back.

    What looked to be a legit shooting...

    certainly was, but it turned out to be oh, so much more... "The northwest Houston robbery that preceded a fatal gas station shooting in January was staged, according to police." Ella Boulevard robbery suspect, '''victims''' staged crime to obtain U visas before bystander stepped in, Houston...

    Remarkable gunfight photo 1905

    This popped up in my Facebook feed, posted in a Texas Historical Photo thread. Sure looks like he caught the detective in recoil. Must be black powder. There's another officer across the street. They both have bicycles! Which actually makes sense for the time frame. The caption on the back...

    How did I miss this movie for 50 years?

    Hickey & Boggs (1972) Beats me. Never saw it before. Currently available streaming for free on Tubi. It has an amazing cast of characters from other 70's and later classics. Leading men: Robert Culp Bill Cosby We know who they are. "I Spy" was canceled by this time so I guess they are trying...

    I never got the memo from Lee Precision...

    I ordered a spare 9mm Luger Powder-through-expander die. Sometimes I load on the Dillon, sometimes I don't. I'd like to be able to use the Lee Auto Disks I have off-Dillon. OK they aren't the greatest measure but they are accurate in my experience and they are the only automatically actuated...

    A Great White Shark is just a tasty snack...

    I did not know they could do that so easily hunting alone. I guess we know who's the boss now. Where was he taking the liver?

    Dillon 450/550 .44 shellplate

    I have a used Dillon #4 shellplate with (3) #4 locator buttons that I have no need for. For the .44 Magnum/.44 Special. I do not have the powder funnel. No box. Not in new condition, it's been used. But it's not like you could break one of these. If you did Dillon would give you a new one...

    Ran into a little piece of history...

    I was reorganizing some stuff and ran into this business card. I knew I had it. I wasn't sure where it was. Anybody want to venture a guess before someone with google figures out its rather sad significance?

    2,000 Fulminates UPDATE: FAIL! post #12

    Powder Valley had a Black Friday free hazmat so I thought I'd try some of their Argentine primers they had marked down to "only" $54.99. With shipping it came to $68.15/m delivered. Not exactly retro pricing. I didn't need them too bad but I thought I'd try them. I primed 100 cases with them...
