For a 'Western' thread, we'd need some rules.
For example, 'No Country for Old Men' and 'Hell and High Water' are not Westerns.
Neither is "Brokeback Mountain".
I'd say anything set any later than the 1930s, (that way many Roy Rogers and Gene Autry movies qualify) don't count. Neither do things like "Yellowstone", "Longmire", or "Justified".

I know that this might be better suited on the main Wire, but since I spend more time here, I'm asking here.
I don't reload, and I'm probably not going to. BUT, I have been saving brass for years because there used to be a place in town I could have it reloaded for a decent price. I recently contacted them about doing so, and their cost was as much to reload MY brass than the cost of buying from several online places including shipping.
My question is this: Is there someplace that WILL reload or trade my brass that will significantly save me money?

Tom Selleck tries for a lot of authenticity in his westerns. Saddles, firearms, etc. But he admitted that the one area they were more lax in was with the hats.
To be fair, from what I've read, most cowboys wore either Bowlers or "Boss of the Plains" hats, neither of which have much style, and would bore the audience.
When Costner did "Wyatt Earp", it seemed like everybody was wearing brown. BORING.

I believe they can do pretty much anything they want to on television.
That right there is absolutely the RIGHTEST thing you've ever said.

Films have a costume director per what I see. So a film set in the 1870s should not have actors? wearing 1970s hats etc.
I seriously doubt that Hollywierd costume directors know or care about period correct clothing any more than they know or care about period correct guns. The costumer is going to dress their actors in whatever the movie director wants or can afford, or both.
If it's a Western, they're just going to say "Cowboy hat" and let it go at that.

When I was still working, my work truck, (tractor-trailer), had a backup camera on it. The trailer has a liftgate also. What I did to make it work best for me was to set the liftgate on the ground so that I could see it in the camera. Then I took a marker and drew an outline of the liftgate on the screen of the system. That way, I could put the liftgate within inches of where I wanted it when backing.
The camera on my pickup is in the license plate frame, set so that the bottom of the screen is where the tailgate sets when down. If I needed to hitch a trailer to it, I would probably draw a vertical line showing where the hitch is and use that to line up on the trailer.
If my camera was on the tailgate though, I'd use your idea.

I watched that yesterday. I kinda questioned the one gal's choice of attire, but otherwise a good video that shows what happens to most Antis when you actually get them to the range.

It appears my mother-in-law must have commissioned a sculpture of herself at some point. I guess the artist ran out of resources.
Maybe he just wanted to get her best side.

I had something like this one in my Jeep YJ back in the '80s. I managed to separate the top from the base, and inserted a green LED into it, spliced into the instrument gauge light wiring. It was liquid filled, so when lighted, the whole thing glowed green.

Why is the first picture reversed? Is this also something new for the Marines?
Not reversed. He's a Southpaw. Look at the side of the receiver. If the picture was reversed, the ejection port would be there.

I used to tell people that as long as I could say "inebriated", I wasn't.

I was impressed with the way OJ devoted the rest of his life to looking for the real killer on golf courses.
Don't forget that he even went as far as to go to jail to look.

Big Wheels hadn't been invented when I was that age, so for me, it was a Schwinn Tornado bicycle and a Mattel Shootin Shell revolver.

My '87 Jeep YJ had the fiberglass hardtop on it. To mount a cell phone antenna, I used contact cement to fasten a fender washer to it. A little spray paint and you'd never notice it.

She was definitely pickin’
When I started that video I thought “Holy Cow she has had to have lots of cosmetic surgery to look that good at 78…”
She absolutely has had a lot of cosmetic surgery. Two quotes of hers I like are,
"If I see something saggin', baggin' or dragggin I have it snipped, clipped, or tucked", and "It costs a whole lot to look this cheap."
She long said that she took inspiration for her look from the town prostitute where she grew up.

Actually, MA has a "right to shelter" law; we (MA taxpayers) are picking up about $1B in illegal alien expenses each year because they are guaranteed decent housing and other benefits. Like everyone else in the country, we are trying to do the right thing, but the burdens are starting to really wear on our backs. Oh - I'm not responsible for the attitudes or behavior of anyone named Kerry or Kennedy; if you have an issue with them, why don't you give them a call; I'm sure they'd love to talk with you about it.
LL
Didn't know that. Back when I was there, ('86-'88), it never came up. I was just thinking about how fast they got the illegals OUT of Cape Cod.
As for Kennedy, Kerry, or the Obama's, I serious doubt that they would want to hear what I think.
They don't even seem to like it when one of their own strays from the Party Line.

I'm not sure they have homeless up there. Remember what Happened when Gov. Abbott of Texas shipped a bunch of illegals up there, they turned right around and shipped them somewhere else! The Kennedy's and Obama's don't WANT the poor anywhere NEAR them.

"A mind is a terrible thing to waste." I sometimes wonder why it has been so often wasted in TV and radio pukes....and politicians....and newspaper columnists...and too many teachers and professors.
Mine wasn't wasted. It just faded away.
I don't think yours was wasted, more likely you wore it out.

There was one boy in my grade who was born December 25th. Talk about getting short changed. “Here Freddy, your Christmas and Birthday present (singular) are in this box.”

That's part of the premise of my book "Bucksnort". My co author and best friend of 50 years was a Christmas baby, and he got that EVERY year. The kicker was that his brother, a year and three months older, often as not got the same presents he did.

Nashville Tenn fedex
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted · Edited by Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770
There was a Fedex driver here that seemed to never be able to figure out that my house with the six inch high numbers on it was my address. He kept delivering my stuff next door to the house with no numbers.
Since some of these deliveries were from Amazon, I was able to complain through them. I was not polite about it. Lo and behold, I received an email from Fedex apologising for the problem, WITH contact info for the manager, and it hasn't happened since.
