Alliant Red Dot .38spl 125gr load for around pistol 800fps
Buckshot Bear replied to Buckshot Bear's topic in SASS Wire
Thanks Larsen, I know its sounds like a lot but divided up between myself, my wife, two sons, two daughter in laws, grandson and soon to be shooting granddaughter.....its not as much as I would have liked to get. But I have also been able to get quite a good stash of VHN320 as well so like @Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 mentioned I won't be needing to break down 12g shells. That was quite a drought, so many folks down here were downright worried about dwindling powder stocks and primer supplies and many had resorted to breaking down shotgun shells. Now its still not completely over and ADI are stating that they will be shortly resupplying Trail Boss (though newly single based and NOT double based) and have started letting out ADI APS 950 we aren't completely out of the woods yet. What has been good for Aussie reloaders is that with the ADI drought others stepped into the breach and imported tonnes of Vihtvouri, Alliant, Vectan and Lovex (Clean Shot) powders plus a whole host of primers from different manufacturers until the massive shipment from Federal just arrived. So most Aussie reloaders should by now have groaning shelves in their reloading cupboards. -

Just landed 32lbs of Alliant Red Dot, looking for a .38spl 125gr load for around pistol 800fps. The Alliant loading site only list 'maximum' charges. -

The Women's Suffrage League was formed in Adelaide 20 July 1888 - a powerful political force that helped South Australia become the first in the world to grant women the vote AND the right to stand for Parliament in 1894.

DUFFY - GALLIPOLI -1915 NAA60 This photograph shows Private John Simpson Kirkpatrick โ better known as John Simpson โ leading a donkey carrying a wounded soldier through Shrapnel Gully, Gallipoli, during World War I. Nicknamed the โman with the donkeyโ, Simpson has become an iconic figure of the Gallipoli campaign, and is perhaps the best known Anzac. The โman with the donkeyโ John Simpson was a stretcher-bearer in the 3rd Australian Field Ambulance. He came ashore during the Anzac landing of 25 April 1915 and was killed less than 3 weeks later. Simpson used donkeys to transport wounded men from the fighting in Monash Valley down to the dressing (first-aid) station at Anzac Cove. He was probably the first stretcher-bearer on Gallipoli to use a donkey to transport wounded men. The donkey used by Simpson was landed on the first day of the Gallipoli campaign, one of a number brought ashore to carry water. Simpson later used a second donkey. It is believed that Simpson called the donkey in this photograph โDuffyโ โ although other records indicate that either this or the other donkey was known as โAbdulโ or โMurphyโ.

A FIELD OF SPIDER WEBS In the Australian countryside, a phenomenon known as โspider rainโ has been taking place for quite some time. The first recorded event was back in 1914, and was originally known as "angel hair" and was believed to be connected to aliens or beings from mythology. Retiree Keith Basterfield of South Australia has been studying this bizarre event for over 15-years and has noted that spider rain happens in May or August, on clear, slightly windy days just after heavy rainfall. Itโs caused by baby spiders migrating for foodโฆ. So basically, when all the mosquitoes show up after a heavy rain, these little guys want to crash their party and gobble them all up. As Basterfield explains it, "They throw out a protein-based thread of spider's web from their body, they extend it into the air, the wind catches it and they take off and use it as a parachute." Basterfield added, "The web, as a protein-based thread just dissolves over time, over the next day or so. The next morning you will go out and see absolutely nothing."

I do look forward to these segments as well as our own homegrown Lefty exposures that they do.
