  1. I don't have any of that nasty black powder stuff you use. I like to keep my guns shinny cause shinny guns shoot better.
  2. Try to find the 99% isopropyl alcohol. The 90% contains 10% water and that is something you don't want in your cases. The alcohol is just used to dilute the liquid lanolin and flashes off very quickly after sprayed on the cases I had to order the 99% Isopropyl off Amazon because the local drug stores don't carry it. I put about 150-200 empty 38 cases inside a gallon freezer bag and spray into the bag. Then mix the cases up inside the plastic bag and maybe spray once more. It keeps the lanolin inside the plastic freezer bag and not all over my workbench.
  3. I'd loan you my knife but I left it in a friend.
  4. I agree. While I normally buy primers or bullets 10,000 at a time, this might be too much for a new shooter to accept. Don't want to scare them off. Get them started and they will figure out their inventory needs like the rest of us.
  5. Hornady One Shot is good stuff and I've used it before. Being cheap, I mix my own spray case lubricant with lanolin and 99% Isopropyl alcohol. Mix it 12-1 and put it in a spray bottle. It's like an action job for your press.
  6. My stockpile of components fluctuates with the market. When things are plentiful, I buy and stock up. When the inevitable panic sets in and prices soar, I sit back and work off my stockpile. I have 4-5 years stocked up at the moment. I keep between 1600-2400 rounds of 38 spl loaded and ready to go. That's 3 ammo cans when all are loaded. I have 2-3 flats of shotgun shells reloaded and plenty of components to make more. Stock up when things are calm and plentiful so you don't have to pay stupid prices later.
  7. Midsouth is playing the same inflated price/free shipping game that Amazon plays. They bake the free hazmat into the price. Midsouth Federal Small pistol primers $99.99/1000 + free hazmat Natchez Federal Small pistol primers $69.99/1000
  8. I don't fear being invaded by some foreign power. We have the most advance military in the world and we have more guns in civilian hands than we have civilians. My fear is a nuclear weapon being smuggled into this country and being set off. Pick your scenario, Super Bowl, State of the Union, Olympic Games opening ceremony. The more 3rd world countries that get the nuclear bomb (Iran, North Korea, India, Pakistan), the higher the chance that one of those things will get turned over to a terrorist group.
  9. Component collector with a dash of prepper thrown in. My reloading bench is usually very organized with everything in it's place.
  10. Since they forced Biden to drop out of the race, he has no further reason to keep gas prices low by draining the strategic national reserves.
  11. I have several monthly bills set up with auto pay through a Visa card that pays me 2% cash back. Nothing is auto paid from my checking account. If something goes wrong with auto pay, I have chargeback options with a Visa. I'm a Boomer and I use this new fangled computer stuff, but I don't necessarily trust it.
  12. So now, if somebody beats him up, pours bleach on him and tells him it's because he's a black homosexual democrat, you think he's going to report it?
  13. I remember people saying the same thing about Wild Bunch. PCC has been shot at some state matches around the southeast for at least the past 5-6 years. It's just a side match shot with semi auto, magazine rifles. Usually 9 mm AR-15 type platforms. It's a stand alone side match like Wild Bunch, Rimfire or the Black Powder match.
  14. Capture the ground hog, build him a nice pen and make him forecast the weather. Historically speaking, you could use some help with the weather.
  15. I've never bought any 38 spl brass. I was donated a lifetime supply of 38 spl. brass about 20 years ago when I started CAS so I'm unable to calculate a cost for brass at anything but $0. My 38/125 bullets are 6 cents each and primers are 8.5 cents each. The powder is 1.1 cents per round. The total excluding brass is 15.6 cents per round for 38/125 uncoated lead bullets. This is almost double the cost of 2019 cartridges.
  16. I already pay all my bills electronically through USAA. Paying the bill costs me nothing. If the power company and water department want to send me an email bill and save the cost of printing and postage, then they should at least split the cost savings with me. Otherwise, I'll be waiting for my paper bill in the mailbox.
  17. The bank and utility companies want me to agree to go paperless so they can save money. What's in it for me? .....Silence.
  18. We have private trash haulers in my area. It runs $25/month and I pay them for 6 months at a time. The internet, cell phones, Netflix and Direct TV are all auto pay via credit card because the price doesn't fluctuate. Everything else is paper bill and gets paid with electronic bill pay. The only time I write a check anymore is for taxes and state match application fees.
  19. I'm not aware of anyone interested in paying a premium for SxS SKB shotguns outside of the Cowboy Action community. Before Cowboys discovered the SKB, they were just another $400-$500 imported shotgun. The value is in the new condition of the shotgun, not in the box and paperwork. The only people who will pay current prices ($1,200+) for this gun will probably hack off the barrel, slick up the action and bang it up in a gun cart.
  20. I ran into a few of these sovereign citizens. Most of them are just spouting U.S. Maritime Laws and Coast Guard regulations that have nothing to do with driving a car. The ones claiming to belong to the Morish nation are usually black and have suspended licenses and probably no insurance. These people are idiots. They are often involved in credit card fraud and other scams. The white sovereign citizens are much more dangerous. They may be involved in militia white supremist type organizations. They have been known to be heavily armed and willing to shoot it out with police officers, often ambushing them before other officers can arrive to assist.
  21. I just bought a nice one at a pawn shop for $800. They are out there. They just don't last long.
  22. If you want current production, I'm guessing the CZ Sharptail is a good choice. However, I'd still keep an eye out for SKB 100's in 12 gauge at local pawn shops for less than $1,000.
  23. The best speculation I heard is that the White House and DNC powerbrokers have known that Biden has mentally declined to a point that he can't do the job. Biden has refused to accept this and step aside. Waiting for a September debate would have been catastrophic. So, Biden's staff agreed to the terms of the debate; June debate, no audience, no notes, no consulting with advisors during commercials, 90 minutes, live television etc. They sent Biden to the slaughter, in hopes of driving a nail in his candidacy. The very next day, all the Democrats are calling for Biden to step aside. I don't know who they have in the wings but they wanted time, June-November, to get a campaign going.
