When I was involved in casting bullets, we were not mindful of adequate ventilation...

I've heard this one from a friend who cranked out prodigious quantities of ammo. At least _his_ son has a clue how to use it! My own son isn't even interested enough to burn up 'free' ammo... raised in the worst part of California, that way, Berserkley.

While agreeing with what is said here, my own experience was mostly self teaching, with the casual help of others in conversation at rifle matches and hanging out in the range shack, later enormously augmented by NRA & other publications on Match rifle reloading and Precision Loading. It amazes...

Thanks for posting the interesting/informative Solar video-- 'we' spend so much on such an incredible variety of Bravo Sierra that this particular one doesn't raise my ire. There are plenty of 'em that do!

WW 748 for .223 using any Dillon is a winning combination, not to criticize others' choices. This is what I have experience with and NO complaints.

Just now I've finished up a couple hours of phone & online manuevering necessitated by PP caused problems; their customer service is, imo, not only more time consuming but also per se _worse_ than fleBay... Interaction with Synchrony Bank, or their asset PayPal, can result in some significant...

This is WAY beyond a sad state of affairs, it's past due for a TRO against the importer to enjoin any further sales of any of their dangerously bogus products, followed by whatever next appropriate action the "proper authorities" are inclined toward. That might be the ATF, not an outfit I'm...

thutty thutty and my rolling eyes are envisioning a steel buttplate M94 that inflicts useless pain to the shoulder. Yes, despite that being the pretty undisputed all time deer hunting champ?

One gun does not mean rifle, it doesn't say that. My own reluctant choice would be a shotgun: Mossberg 500ATP

Have to agree here... most bottom line keeper, though: Series 70 NM Gold Cup 1911, 5k+ rounds w no malfunction

This is _really_ good advice, on any public land North of SF, until November: After outdoor Fall harvest it should be safer. The drought conditions have probably made this more difficult/expensive for trespass growers; they also are present on large ranches. Remote areas, public or private, are...
