I'll 2nd the Pig Iron targets. You'll find his targets at clubs all over the southeast. Our club has 40 of them.

For many years, it wasn't worth my time to reload shotgun shells. I always bought new by the case. Since the shortages and price increases blamed on the pandemic, it has become worth my time. I now reload shotgun shells for about 1/2 what the cost of new is.

Now they have to reprint all that stationary....again.

I'm pretty sure that putting a 7 year old in a dragster that will go 85 mph is a bad idea.

I spent 35 years, 3 weeks and 2 days as a sworn law enforcement officer. I worked all hours in all weather conditions with below market pay. I worked a lot of part time security jobs to make ends meet and I had to be a financial wizard to provide for my family and send 2 kids through college with no student loans. I was able to retire at age 55 with a pretty good pension and I don't feel guilty at all about it. Over the years, I've been to more than a few funerals of friends that weren't so lucky.

I have 3 of the 100's. Whenever I find one at a pawn shop or gun store for less than $1,000, I buy it. Getting hard to find but they do show up from time to time.

Georgia Arms sells 38 special, 125 or 158 gr, for $25.00/50 rounds. They are lead only bullets, not polycoated. They go to a lot of gun shows around the Georgia area.

There's not enough room on the pocket card for every exception. Sometimes you have to consult the experts or break out the book.

The only thing i know about the wife’s purse is that it’s important for the purse and wallet to match. Some things you just don’t question, I’m told.

See. I told you it was an expensive slippery slope. Choose wisely.

While every one of my match guns have been gunsmithed, I caution you on spending a lot of money on action work before you have some experience shooting matches. it's a costly slippery slope and only time will tell what guns you will settle on. Shoot what you have for now and see what other shooters are using. You may decide you want to get a whole different set of guns or calibers.

I don't think I've ever even seen a snow blower for sale. We get a little snow every once in a while but it's usually gone by lunch time.

We use the Federal Senior Golden Age pass as often as we can. 1/2 price at all Federal campgrounds including Corp of Engineer parks and free admission into Federal parks. We usually stay at a COE park or state park when possible.

I actually have a pair of Ruger Blackhawks that came with the 9 mm cylinders in addition to the .357 mag. cylinders. One of the many things I have collected, just because... I've considered shooting 9 mm during a monthly match but since I shoot Gunfighter, the adjustable sighted Blackhawks are illegal for my category. They would be acceptable is most of the standard categories. Wrangler, 49er, Senior etc. You would need a lead only .356 diameter bullet somewhere in the 115-125 gr range. I load all my pistol rounds with Titegroup but there are many powders that would work. All 9 mm use the small pistol primer.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I understand how dogs weave their way into your life. It's happened to me. It's always hard to loose a member of the family.

If you're wanting to upgrade your loading bench, I'd recommend looking at some of the press mounting options from In-line Fabrication. Nice stuff and very sturdy. https://inlinefabrication.com/pages/dedicated-page

While it sounds like a cool idea, I'd be afraid that the tracks won't be strong enough to withstand the torquing of a reloading press. Attaching the T-track to the workbench top with long enough screws that fit flush in the base of the T-track will also be a challenge. You'll have to slide the bolts to the end of the T-track to get them out. Is there really a need to move the machine around to different locations on the workbench? I've used t-tracks on table saw sleds and miter stations but never to hold something like a reloading press.

I live in Georgia and we don't have any state restrictions on buying firearms or ammo. If you have a Georgia conceal carry permit, you don't even have to go through the background check to buy a gun. Just fill out the 4473, pay and take your gun home. However, the gun shows still suck. Just a waste of $10.00. Nothing but over priced plastic guns, Chinese optics and AR-15 accessories. I do better at local gun stores and the occasional pawn shop.

Are there really that many people that would be willing to go through the hassle and expense of applying for a California carry permit if they don't even live in that state? They would be better off waiting for a national reciprocity law.

Find something comparable that is currently being sold. Most insurance companies are not going to fight you over the small stuff. Especially if it is reasonable. Their big worry is in medical/disability claims. Not in the cost of a laptop computer.

I don't blame them for wanting to get out of the ammunition business. The supply chain for the components is just too volatile and unpredictable. Ammunition is also tied to the political winds and that pendulum has been swinging pretty violently the last 10-12 years.

I'd love to have a bullet feeder that works with lead 38 caliber bullets. I don't want to spend an extra $20-$30/k on coated bullets just so I can use a bullet feeder. I have two Dillon SL650's sitting on my reloading bench so I'm well familiar with Dillon quality. However, I think I'll let some of you guys buy it first and tell me how it's working before I go sending them a bunch of Bob bucks.

Blood is organic and decomposes rather quickly. There would be no blood DNA useful on her clothing after 18 years in the ground. You might get DNA from the bones to prove identity.

If you've got a personal preference for the larger calibers, go for it. However, the vast majority of Cowboy shooters are using 38 special rounds because they are relatively easy to reload and the components are less expensive than the larger calibers. More bang for your buck. If shooting the larger, more expensive calibers is what you like, then that is perfectly acceptable, but you don't get extra credit for it. Precision accuracy is not really an issue at the ranges we shoot at.

I just signed up. Looking forward to getting the shooting season started.
