As many times as I have hiked in and camped in “condor territory” I have never seen one.
I knew there weren't many in the wild, so I checked Google and it says 345, spread out across California, the Baja peninsula, Arizona, and Utah. Less than half are in California, so 150 or so...?

Here is what RCBS Recommends for 50 https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/new-electric-bandage-accelerates-healing-of-chronic-wounds-animal-study-5701525?ea_src=frontpage&&ea_med=top-news-top-stories-0-title-6
I have done large big game 416 Rigby and 45-70 on the standard Rockchucker with no problems.
They recommend a space-age "electric bandage"...?

If the press held up to the pressure... maybe, but it would be a bit of a pain in the arse. Here is a loaded .50 BMG sitting on the ram of my Rockchucker with no shell holder - the Ammomaster shell holder isn't compatible with the Rock Chucker. Even with no shell holder, the mouth of the case is well into the press frame at the top. The tip of the loaded bullet is visible sticking out of the hole. If the press held up, and you figured out a way to prime the cases (the Ammomaster priming ram isn't compatible with the Rock Chucker), I suppose the case could be angled up through the hole, the shell holder simultaneously slid onto the rim and into the ram, the bullet placed in the shell from the top, then the die screwed in - after removing the bushing, of course. It might take repeated steps of screwing the die and/or seating stem down to get the shell fully sized or the bullet fully seated, then the process would have to be reversed - unscrew the die, slide the shell holder out of the ram/off the case rim, then remove the finished round from the press.
When I bought my AR50 22+ years ago, it came with an RCBS Ammomaster press, dies, trim die, priming arm, shell holder, etc. I also use it to load .45-120.

The Harris/Walz administration will push legislation to chip *everyone - problem solved!

Might want to double check the above math.
400 / 5 = 80
I get $80 per pound………Sam Sackett
Five pounds = 80 ounces. $400 divided 80 times = $5 per ounce. $5 per ounce times 9 ounces equates to $45 per bottle.
4 hours ago, Blackwater 53393 said:I guess the question here is does the five pound jug really have five pounds in it, or is it the equivalent of five of the smaller bottles??
If the five pound jug holds an actual five pounds and the smaller bottles hold nine ounces, the five pound jug equals almost nine of the smaller bottle!
The five and two pound jugs say 5 pounds and 2 pounds, respectively. The small bottles are marked 9 ounces.

9 oz in the "1 lb cans", which at $400/5 pounds would equate to $45 ea. Considering how much I've seen some of this stuff go for since it was discontinued in 2018, that isn't all that bad of a price.

I really like that 7"er!
A few years ago, I had someone here tell me my 7" long Ruana wasn't a legal accouterment for Classic Cowboy because it wasn't big enough... I asked how big it needs to be, he said he knew the right size knife for CC when he saw it, "and that ain't it".

I shoot maybe 15,000 rounds a year for CAS, and that's not all that much to process. About once a month, I tumble the sorted brass in two vibratory and one rotary tumbler, size and bell it, and stack it on shelves in plastic bins - because of the volume, .38's go in a storage tote on the floor. I've heard of a few high-volume shooters or used brass vendors who use mortar mixers or cement mixers to tumble tens of thousands at a time.

Howdy!
for those who reload,
how much inventory to you stock up on?
projectiles - tens of thousands, and several hundred pounds of lead on hand - two to three thousand pounds.
primers - several tens of thousands
brass - several tens of thousands
propellant ... yes...
how may loaded rounds do you have ready to shoot?enough for 1 match, 10 matches, armageddon? - I'll go with "Armageddon". On the flip side, I have a shooting buddy who loads for one match at a time.
I am asking to determine how to setup a training program for new reloaders.
Thanks!

Depends on your category and the size of the match. I'm aware of one "state or higher" match this year that was so poorly attended, there were actually more SASS categories listed in the Shooter's Manual than shooters.

Well yeah... Clays IS a shotgun powder. What are you referencing when you say "shotgun powder"?
Clays isn't particularly hard to find, ya just gotta have deep pockets.
Red Dot is probably the next "fluffiest"/least dense powder after Clays. Clay Dot is a good choice for that big case too. I picked up an 8 pounder of Red dot six weeks ago for $367.98, shipped, from Midsouth - $46/pound... none of it is cheap anymore.

Mind boggling.
It's really not that much of a long and complicated trial - cameras mysteriously non-functional, a couple cell doors left unlocked...

Wallet, keys, phone, wristwatch, Olight S1A Baton, Ruger LCP Max .380 in a Vedder Pocket Locker, and meds if I'm going to be off the place for more than 12 hours.

I'm afraid of the shoulder on the Lee swc. The Accurate 105 looks good as well. Tom seems to have designed a number of molds that would/could/should work.
That's why I use the Accurate mold for my rifle.
Another problem with the Single Six .32's is the base pin hole is either very slightly undersize or the base pins are very slightly oversize, and the teeniest bit of fouling makes it very difficult to get the base pins out. It seems to be a common problem, but it's a quick easy fix.

High 90's/low 100's for two weeks now, and no end in sight. Maybe the worst hot spell I can remember here. It's been hitting 90 inside by mid-afternoon every day. 20+ mph wind today too - all summer, I live in constant fear of a fire coming up the hill below my house. I've lived in this house for 24 years, but I'm six months away from my 70th year, I'm ready for the safety/security/comfort of a small 2 bedroom house in a little Mayberry town with a Super Walmart and a VA hospital not too far away. Hire the kid down the street to mow the lawn, walk to the coffee klatch every morning for coffee & a piece of pie with the other old farts, sleep late on the weekends, and watch The Weather Channel.

For CAS, I'm really liking these birdshead Vaquero .45 acp's.
The Russians are a hoot too, albeit a bit clumsy to shoot - .44 Russian, of course.

In my .32 H&R Single Sixes and Uberti .32-20's, I use the Lee TL314-90-SWC. I've been using the Accurate 31-105C in my .32-20 Marlin, but if I were to buy one mold for all of them, it would probably be the Accurate mold you're looking at.

Maybe there's still hope...

Call it a 1911, a Sony, a Glock, a Datsun, whatever, it was a good deal. All gone now.

I've always wondered if "MUST BE REASONABLE" or "limited budget" has ever actually worked.
If you think $80/1000 is a big price jump, CCI-35 .50 BMG primers are commonly $1.00 - $1.50 APIECE now.

I found this one on eBay a few years back - sheath is my own creation with a hardwood welt liner inside along the cutting edge.
