Its funny. Sounds like we are ALL experiencing some degree of cabin fever. We FINALLY got above freezing, after about 3 1/2 weeks! I just HAD to get the famliy out in the sticks. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q180/rugerdogdog/0128071230c.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q180/rugerdogdog/0...

gunsaregood (who started this thread) must think you ALL are drunk! Did he get his ?s answered? :lmao: Rick, is your bench guaranteed to hold me steady at 186mph?!?! contender, I think the real question is how much wind drift does the 39gr have in a 186mph cross wind? One of my favorite sayings use...

Wow now I feel like a terrorist! I dont remember a hijacking ever going so well! LOL Rick, I would never give you grief over the cars you own. It is a fact that the Germans build better over-all packages. There are American cars that are FAST or luxurious or have style or handle well but when you wa...

Thats awsome! I'm more of a Mopar man. More like a Mopar Nut! But I do love what Cheby has done with the Vette, and FoMoCo with the 'Stang/Cobra/Shelby. I wish I thought someday I could swing a purchase on a Hennessy Venom 660! COME ON Rick , whatcha got there??? Oh ya.....reloading,.....bullets,......

WT, Are you sure it was 1975? They have a jug of it over at the Ace Hardware that looks like its been there a while but not THAT long. You like it for the .45acp? I believe it says shotshell powder on it so I havent really considered it. I'd go snatch it up if its good in the slabsides though.

No hijack intended---But 688HP Skipper???!!! HOO-RAH!!! Rick why are you afraid of retribution? I bet most of us "gun-nuts" are "gearheads" too. Is it because its not American built? I understand, but what is it??? Most folks know that THE BEST cars are sadly not built in this co...

My gun weighs almost 12lbs and I carry it all day. Im not bragging because I'm a 33 yr oldguy whos slightly small in stature. I dont have a problem carrying the weight so Im guessing that a younger guy wouldnt either. Its good advice to go handle all of them. That just might make your mind up for yo...

God Bless the U.S.!!! And I wish I was made of money!!!

HOLY CRAP MAN!!! That is impressive. I guess I have to start believing some guys claims of 10+ yotes in a day. Like the late, great Johnny Cash said, " Its been proved to you." Seriously, Hotrod, What load were you shooting? That will go a loooong way to quieting the folks that say the .20...

Thanks all for the info!!! Soon I will be reloading my 1st lot, the second time so I will measure them for trimming. I still havent decided which route to go. It still depends on the funds available at purchase time, ya, know?

When you get to trimming in a trimming die, you dont ever take material off the die ? Even with a flat file? And it doesnt deform the case mouth? I've heard of it before but never understood how it would work well. $22 bucks sounds purdy though.

JD, Ya kinda got me with that one. Heres where I confess, I'm no AR expert either. But I believe the major components will interchange. If its already semi-auto only then there is the biggest difference. I know the AR is designed so that it cannot be easily converted to full-auto. As I said, IF it ...

Thanks for the info guys. Glen its funny you post that pic! I do in fact have that very caliper. I really miss Harbor Freight since moving out to the sticks. The spare battery is nice but how long has everybodys 1st batt. lasted? I've had mine not quite a year and the 1st batt. is dieing. I probably...

:help: Here's my dilemma. I have been using the Lee 4 piece case length gauge dealy-o. I've always liked it because its cheap and easy. About $7 for any new caliber.But apparently they dont have one for.204. The website says while there is no caliber too big for them to make, .22 is the smallest. I ...

Thanks guys! I love it. It is almost exactly what I wanted (DPMS couldnt tell me how long to wait for a left-hander but they did say it would be at LEAST 5-6 mos.) but when I saw the picture I just HAD to have it. JD I did forget to mention, when I when to my local FFL to pick it up, he told me that...
