  1. Fantastic day at TUSCO!! Warm, DRY, nice breeze to carry the smoke away and the Black Berry Cobbler was (YUM YUM) superb!! Forgot to mention: The stages were fun and very shootable!! Even if I did loose count and mess one up.
  2. Wal-Mart just plain SUCKS!! I won't set foot in one.
  3. I don't mean to be Snarky (yes I do). Butt, what exactly is a "deep cleaning" as opposed to regularly cleaning after use??
  4. Sure. 15.5 MacBook Air. Problem Solved.
  5. OOPS!! I was just reminded, I did leave powder in a Dillon measure once a long while ago. I have a really well stained hopper because of that little oopsie. Not gonna happen again. Should have remembered sooner. Will call Dillon and replace it.
  6. PLUS ONE for Pettifogger you betcha In my sordid past, when I had my shingle out, my "go-to" Colt pattern Main Spring was (and still is) the Lee's Gunsmithing Gunfighter spring kit. I have recently found Pietta's recent lighter Main Spring to be comparable to the Lee's.
  7. I haven't personally played Cody Dixon. I have, however, in my sordid past, been known to play Planesman. My fav rifle was a Handi in 38-55. My preferred sight is/was a Smith Enterprises Ladder Sight. Regardless of your rear sight, you are going to have to change that front sight to prevent "plowing the Fields."
  8. I personally have no clue. I get my fav coffee by the bag at Starbucks, have them grind it, pay for it with rewards, bring it home and use refillable K-Kups with a cute little paper filter for each cup. At no point do I pay the slightest bit of attention to the actual "cost." It simply doesn't matter. I also don't care what my fav Grande Mocha costs at the Starbucks Drive Thru. That simply doesn't matter either. The simple pleasures in life aren't measured in dollars and cents.
  9. Ecco ecco ecco That holster be SAWEEEET fer sure!!
  10. OK. Some folks have never had a problem. I don't want a problem, so I empty the powder measure immediately after every session, even if I'm going to be loading again the next day. Just seems to make good sense to me.
  11. Aw Cummon Warden ๐Ÿคช Live LARGE!! My main shooting partner and I have both shot Josey Wales with Cap Guns!! FIVE Cap Guns, (Josey didn't have a shotgun). It is CAPITOL FUN!! I will admit however, ye be busier-n a three legged kitty inna sand box loading between stages, but still way FUN. I personally shot four three-n-half inch barrel SNUBBIES and a seven-n-half inch for the shotgun. Those shooting pistols for the shotgun didn't have to knock down the poppers, just hit 'em. All targets were at common distance for CAS.
  12. Renegade, Just an aside or FYI, APP doesn't like to be compressed. I suspect this will be no help, but I load Magtech All Brass hulls using Ballistic Products "Spitfire" wads for a One ounce payload and 40Gr APP 2F. Were I loading 3F I'd probably drop back to 35Gr.
  13. That stupid tree was followed by Iguanas and Pythons. We can thank Idiot Pet Store proprietors and stupid parents for those.
  14. I really didn't want to relate, but since Three Foot brought it up, I gotta agree wid Three Foot. I read it as someone loading 50-70 into shot shells and wondered "Really? ?" - - "Why??"
  15. Yepper!! Big PLUS ONE fer Pettifogger you betcha. There's three folks in the background let ya know when ya screw it up. Simpler.
  16. PLUS ONE fer Snake Eye!! Amazed at the number of folks that . . . . . . . Wow. Just Wow. Glad I scoop Powder and Shot separately ๐Ÿ˜œ
  17. My preference for Coleslaw, is Angel Hair and I make a "sweet/sour" dressing. Yum Yum Yum. Oh, yea, it's Vegetable.
  18. Just 'cause. "Dates" didn't have much to do with clothing and accouterments, however location did. Townie?? Cowboy (very few), Mountain Man (even fewer), City Dweller (lots of those). Hat styles migrated everywhere. Best of Luck.
  19. PLUS ONE fer Rye Miles you betcha!! I too are a Cattle Baron and comfort is VERY important.
  20. I'd be in for the JB Weld Marine Weld (Weld) weld in white. Clean the broken surface with a little Denatured Alcohol first.
  21. If a knockdown target has not been reset, who was the idiot who hit the buzzer without checking the targets?? If the shooter is started without a reset, restart. If a target falls during the stage, shoot where it were and keep trucking. If a Pop Up fails to launch, shoot where it were just like A fallen target. There is however, some common sense required. If it happens the shooter gets through the Rifle and The Pistols and THEN discovers the shotgun poppers weren't reset, reshooting the stage is an option. Also, shooting "where they waz" is also reasonable. Not enough time difference to spit at.
  22. Hy Ya JB!! What a Bummer. Murphy was lurking on yer block fer sure. I like Pioneer Gunworks Firing Pin and Cowboys and Indian Store. I don't know what C&I is up these days though and I have zero experience with Boogie's Firing Pin. I will however say ALL the goodies I have sen from Boogie have been top notch and super well made. I also maintain a nice selection of Firing Pins in my boxes of goodies.
  23. H.K., That random thought just had to be some PAINFUL ๐Ÿ™ƒ
  24. Sheriff Dill. Since you acquired your press second hand, I firmly suggest you call Dillon and arrange to have them go through your machine. It'll run you about a Hundred and a quarter +/- and well worth the time. I had them rebuild my very tired and abused 650 and it now runs like a brand new machine. If the previous owner was running 38/357 without a conversion, you're going to have all sort of Fitz trying run the opposite primers. As mentioned above, call Dillon. Talk to them. Dillon has the customer support bar none.
  25. PLUS ONE for Gateway Kid. I run two Dillon 650s. One is set up for small primers and the other for large primers and I have 6 different tool heads. Each tool head has a Powder Check for that caliber. The "Annoying" chirp of the Dillon is to audibly alert you if you have a "lite" or empty case and if you have an over charge. I have never had the Powder Check get "out of adjustment" nor the powder measures. This is after several hundred thousand of rounds loaded.
