You know, you can buy the ammo already made. It ain't cheap - $70 for 20 - but it is available. https://www.wisconsincartridge.com/product/30-remington-150-gr-sp-2200-fps-20-rounds/ https://www.wisconsincartridge.com/product/32-rem-170-gr-sp-2150-fps-20-roundsnew/

Just verify. Pull a bullet, dump the powder. Get a piece of steel and sand it, so there's absolutely no coating on it. Bare steel. From about an inch away, shoot this piece of steel with that primed case. Now go clean your gun with water like you knew it was corrosive primed, and wait a couple of days. Go look at the piece of steel. Is there a great big rusty spot where you shot the primer at? Corrosive primer. No rusty spot? Non corrosive. Simple

This is funny. I stopped the show, and started this thread. And then I did some other stuff. And I just started the episode back, and Superman has flown back to Kansas to discuss this with his parents. About how all these people were hurt and almost killed because of him. And his mother tells him that it's not his fault. Lex luthor did it. And he says, "but I can't prove that. And I can't just throw him off a building." Nice to know that me and him had the same thought, even though he didn't carry it out.

I have the wrong attitude. Remember Lois and Clark? It's just been released on Blu-ray and I'm watching it. Third episode, and evil villain Mastermind lex luthor is testing Superman. See how fast he is, see how powerful he is. Supes knows that Luther is doing this, and he goes to seemSEE HIM. Says, "you want to haveKNOW HOW strong I am?", and takes a broad sword off the wall - Luther has a weapons collection displayed in his living room - and he bends it into the shape of one of them little ribbons you pin on your lapel to show that you're a wonderful person. He says, "you want to know how fast I am?", and he picks up a pistol and shoots at Luther, then runs across the room and catches the bullet. Says, "the tests stop now". And Luther says, "but if they don't? I'm not admitting anything, but the tests will probably continue. As long as you're in Metropolis, people will die. You need to think about that." And I thought - reach over and grab him by the lapels and throw him out the window. You're in the penthouse of an 80 story building. Problem solved. But of course, Superman couldn't do that because he's a good guy, and that would be bad. I've thought, many times while watching a TV show or a movie, that the simple solution to the problem is just kill that guy. That guy right over there. Kill him dead, and then there won't be any more bank robberies or there won't be any more murders. But they can't ever do that because they're the good guys. The best they could do is arrest him, and then he will usually get out because of lack of evidence.

Just remember, until proven differently, presume that all foreign ammunition is corrosive primed. Especially Chinese.

Sometime that empty can mess you up. 50 or so years ago the MYF went to the turkey shoot. Jainie had never shot a shotgun, so elder brudder let her use his 1100, because it kicked less than most of the other shotguns there. And as a just in case he stood behind her, in case even that puny little recoil knocked her backwards. When she fired and it threw the empty shell out, that startled her so much that she jumped and flung both arms open and threw his shotgun. Being an intelligent and astute young man, he let her go where she wanted to and concentrated on catching his gun as it flew through the air. Which he did. Taking that to heart, whenever I teach a newbie how to shoot any kind of an automatic, I tell them that it's going to fling an empty shell when it fires. Don't want anybody to throw one of my guns.

Dave, you misunderstood my statement. I was not questioning how you can insert a loaded magazine into the gun with only one working hand. I was questioning how you can insert ammunition into the magazine with only one working hand. How you load the magazine. Not how you load the gun - how you load the magazine.

That's puzzling. The guy doing the cooking is wearing a Walmart vest. I was in a Walmart up in Atlanta, and they had a McDonald's in the store. But the people working there were not Walmart employees. They were McDonald's employees. They wore McDonald's uniforms. That guy should be wearing a vertically striped shirt, not a blue vest.

They have multicolored potatoes nowadays, but I've never tried any. Not because of "potatoes ain't supposed to be purple - yuck!" Actually it's because of "they want how much for a purple potato?!??"

That first video - either me or them can't count. They said multiple times that it had an eight round magazine. Then they would pick up the gun rack the slide and fire nine rounds. I can see if they had one in the chamber and put in an eight round magazine, firing 9 rounds. But they rack the slide before firing, which means the chamber was empty (because nothing came out when they racked the slide), and they fired nine rounds so it must be a 9-round magazine. And I like that you could rack the slide without having a second hand. That is cool. But how do you load the magazine without having a second hand? I can load a hand ejector type revolver with one hand. Open the cylinder, stick the muzzle of the gun in your waistband, and load the cylinder, close the cylinder and then pull the gun out from your waistband. You're ready. But to load the magazine you have to hold the magazine in one hand and insert the cartridges with the other. I don't believe it's possible to load a magazine one-handed.

Now that's a thought. Daddy retired as a Senior Chief.

Probably did not sell because cola is supposed to be brown. I remember reading some science fiction story one time where milk with blue. I don't think I'd be happy with a glass of blue milk. Or green eggs. Or purple bread. People are weird. Some things are supposed to be a specific color. And if they ain't that color, people don't trust it.

Where your daddy from?

Yes, I am aware that they are calling grocer because they buy stuff by the gross. Or possibly the dozen dozen is called a gross because that's the amount that grocers buy. Regardless, I think it is probably a regional term. My in-laws would red off the table. Both of them would say that, so my wife said that, so my daughter says that. I know what it means, but they were the only ones I'd ever heard used the term. I bet Pat Riot knows what it means. Then one day I'm watching a Quantum Leap episode. The man who Sam had left into had a Pennsylvania Dutch housekeeper. And a couple times in that show she said something about "red off the table". My in-laws came from Indiana, Pennsylvania. So I have decided that that is a regional Pennsylvania term. (I just looked it up.https://grammarphobia.com/blog/2007/12/reddy-or-not.html Apparently it should be spelled with 2 Ds.) Like some state in the upper Midwest does not have water fountains or drinking fountains. They have bubblers. Nobody else has bubblers - just the people that live in this state. Regional term. (I just looked that up too. Wisconsin https://www.jsonline.com/story/life/green-sheet/2020/02/25/why-bubbler-what-water-drinking-fountain-called-wisconsin-milwaukee/4793730002/ ) Daddy grew up in Macon, so I'm thinking it's a South Georgia term.

I learned this term from my father. But I've noticed that no one else seems to say it. Everyone I talk to seems to only use the word "groceries" to refer to the stuff at the store, or possibly in the bags in your car on the way home. Daddy used the term for all food. If it was suppertime - "come on boy, let's go get some groceries". When I speak of food on the table, if I'm being specific about the meal I will either call it breakfast or lunch or supper or dinner, but if I'm just referring to something to eat, I call it groceries.
