Re: Dump it or keep it?

I loaded some 12ga from an unopened can of Unique from the early 70’s. Was just fine.

Re: Guns and mj cards

It’ll be interesting to see what happens when MJ becomes legal on the federal level. It’s only a matter of time. Doesn’t seem to be a priority now, but I’d guess in the next 5-10 years it’ll go through.

Re: Filled Wall for Protection?

There was an episode of Doomsday Preppers where some guy did this with his master bedroom suite in the walls of his 2nd floor. The problem became weight. The walls became so massively heavy, the construction was unsafe and the upper floor was at risk of collapsing onto the bottom floor. That was my...

Re: Block19

No, I don’t need a law to prevent me from doing or owning something. My children are prepared and well versed in firearms. I’m not infringing on your right to own anything. I’m fact, I think it is a cool idea. I’ve won Lego building contests as a kid. But do I want to own it? Not really. Enough idio...

Re: Block19

Someone is going to end up in court over this someday. If they sell enough, the laws of statistics will take over.

If you’re a parent of small children, why would you want this in your house?

Re: What Did You Do in the Reloading Room Today?

Tumbled a batch of 9mm and a batch of .223 in the garage while cleaning out the work truck. Received Lee 9mm dies yesterday from Midway. I’d been watching for them for a while, they popped up, I bought. My son is having some buddies over tonight for an end-of-school year celebration. Perfect time to...

Re: holster recommendations

Another +1 for T-Rex. Ever since I got it for my G43, I haven’t carried anything else.

Re: Looking for input, re: liquidation of an ammo fort

No. No one is plopping down $23k for ammo, or even close to that amount. Piecemeal it out at 70% of those prices, and you’ll get it sold, but it’ll take time.

Re: Powder alternative to Longshot for .40

Autocomp is almost always available. You can run it up pretty good, but it is a tad dirty.

Re: 1st Pistol

Take the CCW class if you plan on carrying. Yes, we know you don’t need the permit to carry. It’s about arming yourself with information. Shoot as many pistols as you can until you find the one that you are the most comfortable with. Then become very proficient with it.

Re: HONEST question

Agree with the rest of these guys. As confident and comfortable as I am with my own reloads, I cringe at the idea of loading anything up for someone else. But if they're a good friend and they want to, they're always welcome to come use my equipment while I supervise. 100%. Hell, I’ve borrowed guns...

Re: HONEST question

I personally wouldn’t, from a liability standpoint. You accidentally doublecharge, it blows up his gun, or worse.
