.45 ACP small pistol primer pockets
Buckshot Bear replied to Cyrus Cassidy #45437's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
They bring my Dillon XL650 to a stop as Federal small pistol primers won't go in the primer pockets as they are so tight (.38spl brass) I get a lot of this brass as a lot of our new shooters who don't reload buy it from the club. I bought a Dillon primer pocket swager thinking that would be the answer......but I can't tell which S&B's have been swaged and which haven't. I toyed with the idea of grinding a mark on the base of the S&B's that have been swaged with a Dremel to be able to identify them. -

Fried eggs, scrambled eggs, poached eggs on toast.....YUM!!! Preferably thick cut sourdough with butter. I'm not big on baked beans but I do like mexican hot beans on toast! Now if the mince meat was between two slices of bread that would turn it into the iconic Australian sealed toasted sandwich called a Jaffle. Which can either be square or round (with the protruding crusts cut off that are sticking out of the jaffle maker).

Its shocking stuff isn't it! -
Yes that would have been a whole BBQ chicken. In the '60's chicken was expensive compared to beef and lamb which was plentiful and oversupplied, most chicken meals came from the backyard chook run. Took a while for Oz to get into intensive chicken farming.

When the kids were young, we used to hook up battery pack electric fence energisers to anything metal that we could hide the energiser leads to, they'd get me and I'd get them......in the end we were all too scared to touch anything metal without a checker.....it's been years now......hmmm I could get 'em good!!!!!

Flying P-Line steel barque Pekin, a sister to the Pamir.

‘PAMIR’ - Commercial Sailing Ship Master Mariners of Australia. Pamir was one of the last commercial sailing ships to transport cargo around Cape Horn. The Pamir, a famous German four-masted steel barque (1905–1957), was a renowned "Flying P-Liner" in the Australian grain trade. She had an overall length of 114.5 m (375 ft), a beam of about 14 m (46 ft) and a draught of 7.25 m (23.5 ft). Three masts stood 51.2 m (168 ft) above deck and the main yard was 28 m (92 ft) wide. She carried 3,800 m² (40,900 ft²) of sails and could reach a top speed of 16 knots (30 km/h). However, her regular cruise speed was around 8-9 knots. While mainly operating out of South Australia, the vessel is associated with Australian maritime history, including visits to Sydney and, via historical records/photo collections, Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century. Pamir, built in 1905, was famous for transporting goods such as wool and grain between Europe and South America. It was part of the German fleet known as the Flying P-Liners. On 21 September 1957, she was caught in Hurricane Carrie and sank off the Azores. A nine-day search for survivors was organized by the United States Coast Guard Cutter Absecon, but only four crewmen and two cadets were rescued alive, from two of the lifeboats. It was reported that many of the 86 men aboard had managed to reach the boats, but most died in the next three days. The sinking made headlines around the world; it was a national tragedy for Germany.
