  1. Camping World has a horrible reputation in the RV community.   They are fine for buying sewer hoses and black tank treatment tablets but I would never consider buying an RV from them or taking my RV to them for service.   They are the modern version of a sneaky used car dealer.  You're much better off either doing your own maintenance/repairs or finding a mom and pop dealership you trust. 

     

    Camping World.  We're not happy till your not happy.

  2. If you can find Tite Group locally at a decent price, ($30/lb is a good price) then that's a great powder to use for all your pistol rounds.  You can even use Tite Group for loading 12 gauge shotgun shells.  For 125 gr. 38's, load 2.8 - 3.4 gr of Tite Group, depending on how wimpy or manly you want your rounds.  

     

    Tite Group is all I've used in pistols cartridges for 15 years.  Works great.  Hodgdon even has a recipe for loading .223 with Tite Group to get subsonic loads.

  3. Submitted my application to the mercy of my totally incompetent, but DEI qualified, mail lady yesterday.  Hopefully it will get to Dodge City Dixie in a timely manner.   We are shooting Mississippi the weekend before and just camp a few nights at a state park on the way to Tenn.  A shooting vacation/camping trip.

  4. We finally ditched the land line.  The only people who ever used it was Medicare Advantage sales people and Donald Trump.  Everybody else called us on our cell phones.  T mobile ran 5G home internet close to the house so I was able to ditch the DSL internet and go with T mobile.  20 megs vs. 300+ megs for less money.  I'm leaping into the 21st century.  

  5. Destabilize the country and start an internal civil war.  That will keep them busy for a while and seriously weaken their motivation to pick fights outside their borders.  Start with taking out their petroleum industry and then their power grid, water supply etc.  I'm sure there are some important bridges that need bombing.  Nothing like a hungry population with things deteriorating further to start the protests.  

  6. Thanks for the heads up Lumpy.  I don't do the book of faces thing.  

     

    I suppose if you have to have an appendix rupture, January is probably about as good a time as any.  After the holidays and before shooting season kicks off.  

     

    Prayers for a speedy recovery.

  7. Scrappy, welcome to the world of reloading.  I would highly recommend getting with a seasoned reloader that is local to you to show you the ropes.  There are a lot of things to learn and learning them the hard way is just..... well, hard.  The Hodgdon powder website has lots of loads.  You need to figure out what you want and then find a powder that will work.  Then you need to find the powder.  There are lots of powders that will work for shotgun shell.  Availability is the tricky part these days.

     

    Good luck.  

  8. Back in the dark ages when I was in High School, they had an attendance policy.  You could exempt your final exams and didn't have to come to school on final exam day if you had a good enough grade and no absences.  They also suspended kids for fighting, stealing, being disrespectful to teachers and staff.  Usually a 2nd serious infraction resulted in being told not to come back.  Most of the trash was weeded out during the 10th grade year.  They turned 16 and could legally quit school.

     

    Some parents paid/rewarded the kid for report card grades.  I don't have any data on that but I know I didn't get any.

      How would you feel about allowing any wood stocked pump action shotgun?  

    If they allowed that, then the Remington 870 with an extended mag tube would be the gun to get.   Getting a reliable shotgun would no longer be a challenge.  

  10. The tragedy will come when they try to confiscate an otherwise legally owned firearm and the owner refuses to turn it over and fights back.  Law Enforcement and the gun owner may be killed.  Then the civil suits will begin and it could get real expensive for the state of Illinois.  

     

    If an officer is killed trying to enforce a law that is eventually ruled unconstitutional, could the citizen be found guilty of murder for resisting an illegal seizure and a violation of his 2nd Amendment rights?   Lots of disasters waiting to happen and unfortunately, the idiot politicians who passed this law won't be the one's suffering the consequences.

  11. When I started CAS in 2004, I went to Walmart and ordered a Winchester 94 in .357.  It was the 20" 94AE Trails End with the tang safety.  I think the price was about $360.00.  Walmart had a really weird way of buying/ordering firearms but that's another story.  I shot the Winchester 94 for my first year and even had Joe West do an action job on it.  The action job helped, but it still had a built in governor.  I still have the gun, however it has been retired from CAS duty.

    Where are you finding that locally Bob? Do they have 8 lb jugs of Titewad?

    Alexanders store in Blairsville.  They have lots of powder and primers, dies.  All kinds of stuff.  It's worth a trip to the mountains.
