I got my equipment and supplies from my dad. 7 truck loads from his house to mine and still boxes of lead ingots to haul this way. By his notes and invoices I have 3 cases of small pistol magnum primers and 1 case of small rifle magnum primers. Probable twice that much powder. He was big in shooting 38spl, 357, 9mm, 380 auto, 40sw, .223, 30car. and 7.62X39.

I got to meet another TGO member today and had a very nice visit and completed a transaction in the process. Got to me AJ (Gotthegoods) and he is a great guy to talk with and do business with. I will let him tell you about our transaction if he chooses to but that will be up to him. If you have not met him and get the chance too don't pass it up. Bersaguy aka Doug

Or they could get display cases like Royal Range. The front of the cases are like a roll top desk. At night the just roll the cover down and lock it. Anything can be broken into given time but this sure stops the smash and grabs.

You might be a prepper if . . . You have a plan for raiding the local elementary school cafeteria and hauling off a heavy load of their industrial sized cans of green beans and chocolate pudding.

Looks like it is going to be mild and windy before the bad weather moves in during the afternoon. Sunday morning should a good morning, cold and calm. Wear your orange and be safe.

Wife just had shoulder surgery this afternoon so I won’t be out tomorrow. Weather makes it not be that big of a deal anyway. I’ll be out Sunday Lord willing(and my wife too) and it looks too be a good day! Good news is wife’s surgery went good even though she doesn’t feel too hot right now. So thanks to the Big Man upstairs for a quick recovery for her. Y’all be careful tomorrow and good luck #wearyourharness

Good luck! I think I'll sleep in after looking at the weather forecast.

Was going to respond exactly this. Get ourself the Wild Turkey Decades, should be about $150 +/- $10. Beautiful bottle, great presentation and the bourbon is absolutely exceptional.

We have some bureaucrats making new laws to direct other bureaucrats to update systems run by bureaucrats that have failed to keep updated in the name of bureaucracy. To allow us to exercise our rights. To not be infringed, except by the bureaucracy that is as efficient as the development of designing the space pen when we could have simply used a pencil. Why do we have to ask for permission with a fee every time we want to purchase a firearm? Bureaucracy! That's why. Why wasn't the Texas shooter in prison for attempted murder for cracking the skull of the kid he beat? How about instead of providing incentives and penalties against bureaucracies, we hold individuals accountable? Both criminal behavior and the actions or lack of actions by, dare I say, bureaucrats?

The background check system costs ~500 million per year, adding about $100 per firearm on average. In 2009, one of the last years we have stats for, ~6 million background checks were performed. The FBI denied a little over 72,000 of those background checks, and referred most of them to the ATF, where the vast majority of them are deemed to be false positives. In the end the ATF found 62 cases that they thought were criminal violations, and the vast majority of those weren't good enough for the DOJ to prosecute. So we have a system that costs lots of money, where 98.8% of purchases go through with no problem, of the remain purchases only 4700 are investigated the rest are false positives. And then when those 4,700 are looked at only 62 meet the criminal statues to be prosecuted under federal law. 62 out of 6+ million background checks! 99.99+% of purchases aren't criminal, yet we have to waste 500 million a year on the background check system, and all of the expense complying with it. What other right protected in the Bill of Rights can the government take away from us? Require us to ask for permission every time we want to make a purchase? None! And yes, I see no reason to keep the NFA at all, rifles aren't be used to commit crimes, if we repealed the NFA tomorrow, machine guns wouldn't be used to commit crimes in any great number. There were ~11,000 people killed by firearms in 2010, the vast majority with a pistol. Less than 2% (way less) were killed in a mass shooting... ~12% killed by police officers (somewhere between 1100 and 1500 per year)... These are all sad numbers but are footnotes to the real problem.... The failed war on drugs, the VAST majority of gun violence in this country is drug related, make drugs legal, and allow the market to set their price, and the rate of crime including gun violence would drop drastically. But with all of that said, crime is down to 1950's levels even without getting rid of the war on drugs... even with all these crazy mass shootings. Almost half of what it was in 1992... Starting in 1992 shall issue gun permits started to become the law of the land, and access to carry firearms by law abiding citizens increased, crime has decreased. Most mass shootings take place in gun free zones, and the vast majority of mass shootings are stopped by a 'good guy' with a gun. We should be making it easier for 'good guys' those law abiding citizens to have access at all times to firearms, not figure out more ways to waste tax payer money on programs that don't stop crime, only make us 'feel good' that we're doing something to stop it.

Correct. But we are stuck with it unless you can figure out a way to chase all the liberals out of the country. If you do, holler. I'm going with you

Where ya gonna pick them up, Einstein?

You might be a prepper if... Whenever you try a new canned or shelf stable item you reflexively consider 1. How well it would work as part of your food stores, 2. How economical it would be for stocking vs other options, 3. How easily it could be heated/prepared without access to electricity, 4. How 'edible' it would be if there were no option for preparing/heating it, at all. 5. Rather than stocking up on dog food you evaluate these things partly based on the ability to share them with the dog (and you have made the decision ahead of time that not only will you not eat your dog but you will shoot anyone else who attempts to do so - and if things are really dire consider eating THEM, and sharing with the dog, to be a possibility. 6. Part of the evaluation is also very much how the product impacts your digestive system because toilet paper stocks are limited, not to mention that potable water might be at a premium, intestinal upset can cause dehydration and dehydration kills so you don't want to stock anything that will cause intestinal upset. You might be a prepper if... Rather than throwing away that can of food you find on the back of your shelf that has a 'best by' date of two years ago you inspect and then eat it - again, so you will know what impact (if any) it has on you that 'in date' cans do not. After all, even if you are the type that is more concerned with prepping for possible, short term situations if there were a long term event eventually ALL of your cans would be out of date. Might as well get confident in eating them after the date, now.

No. Not for that brand or from that seller. SGAmmo never does free shipping but they’re one of the best outfits to buy from.

I had the same mentality, eventually I had to switch to "if he dies it won't be because I killed him." I know a lot of people around here shoot whatever, and my camera footage shows it. I'm on 42 acres in Wilson County surrounded by farms and Corp of Engineer land. Ran cameras all summer, I have two 4 pointers and two spikes running around here, a couple of lone does, and a bunch of fawns. There is a bruiser I've seen across the road and I found I couple big rubs in a thicket. I'll leave the little ones alone and maybe they will stay here where they are safe for now.

Some good ryes there. You might also want to add Pikesville Rye to your list. A good premium rye without the premium price. For a budget rye, give Dickel Rye a shot. For very little money, it's one of my budget friendly favorites. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just a caution: If any of the powder is older, especially if it has been opened, always smell it before use. If it stinks or has a funny smell, discard it.......do not use it. Old loading books have a ton of info. New powders are simply that, new. Don't use old books (data) for new powders. New books have a lot of info also. Be safe, read a lot, then read a lot. Welcome, and since the first round is on you, I'll have a .327 federal......thank you.

Welcome in, pull up a chair, stay a bit. Reloading is a good hobby to get into. Read the books, than read some more. First round on the new guy, make mine a 7.62x51.

Dang, that sight tool instead of the Phillips on the regular model adds 30 clams to price! - OS
