I concur, sounds like either the wrong powder or not enough powder. If the bullets are hard cast, put a heavier crimp on it, there shouldn't be any setback.

It is bow season, that will keep the one's you kill out.

Good deal, kill all you can and maybe they won't take over the world!!!

Guys I had to share this here. A buddy just sent this link to me. It is pretty funny. If you don't have any redneck in you, you will still find it funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzQ9KFClq0o&feature=emb_logo

Evidently there aren't any? Heck it is hard to get anyone to do anything anymore.

Sorry I meant not affordable, or more than I would be willing to pay!

Or a sharp axe handy!!

Sorry I don't want Alexa or any of the "robots" taking care of my weapons access!! Call me old school if you want. I also don't want my "smart" refrigerator or T.V. or my Onstar listening in on my conversations!!! That's what he calls lots of guns??

Please Delete, given away. Guys going thru reloading brass and I have about 25-30 .357 Sig brass and about that many maybe a few more of 9x21 brass. If you want it let me know. I can give you a count if you want. Mac

Looking for advice as I know there is a lot lurking here. My pastor asked me about going to the gunshow in Cookeville this weekend and I told him if they had anything we wouldn't be able to buy it. What are ya'll's thoughts??

That sho is purdy rat thar!! Missed a great one a few years ago a 20 gauge for $3200 and had the money on me. I try not to think of that mistake too often.

I am no expert on this subject, but do we know positively that a Sat phone will work in a SHTF?? Even Hams may not work if an emp caused the shtf and the radio equip weren't protected. Just my $0.02

Ok Alleycat, no-one else asked, can I come hunt from your driveway?? Good pic

RED those will look real good with some potatoes and carrots!! Nice when protein is delivered to your door. LOL

Hey Greg you can bring your crew and fix my road anytime you want, day or night. I will serve cold water, drinks, iced tea and maybe a sandwich. We have been here for 8 years nothing done except a very few shovels of cold patch. This is a county road btw, but if you need something for the gang to do come on over.

Hlb 14, depends on how far you are towing. Are you making a 400 mile roundtrip each day or 50 miles. I know for a fact that diesels will tow the load, but if they break, they will break your pocketbook. Put the pencil to it. To change oil & filter on a gas burner $50, diesel $150. A good diesel pickup mechanic is difficult to find and expensive when you find him. I had a dually F-350 diesel and it was great old powerstroke. You couldn't give me a new one, they have so many sensors and junk plus the def fluid. I put the pencil to it and you had to keep it and drive 300,000 miles before it was cheaper to own the diesel.

Thank everyone for your help. I will start low and look at brass and watch the chrono. I know I can't reach the optimum with this fast powder, but I don't load as many shotgun shells as I once did. Guess I need to shoot more sporting clays. Thanks again guys!!

That is a fine specimen of John Browning's art!!

Hey Erich, don't beat yourself up. Hindsight is 20/20. It sure is easy to see what we could've and should've done when we look to the past. But if it will make you feel any better, bend over and will all put a boot in your rear end.

When I shot USPSA matches about 15,000 a year, now closer to 1,500.

I guess I will start pretty low and make a couple of each load by 0.2 gr. or so. Thanks I thought somebody may have access to data I didn't.

Darned good question. To me that is 7 times too many. In some foreign countries, he would have been hung. I'm thinking they may have the right idea.

Hi all, I have 3 reloading manuals, but they all are Speer and I have seen where sometimes Speer data is too hot. I have a lot of Green Dot powder and I know I can use it up in .38 special and 9mm, but would like to see if anyone has data other than from Speer. My book shows 158gr JHP 7.0 gr. start with 7.5 max. I plan on using this loading in a Marlin 1894C but love my gun and don't want to mangle it or me up. Any constructive information would be appreciated. Not the usual, go buy another load book. There isn't much data to begin with and most is pretty old. Thanks Mac

Well not cheap, but my LGS had limited amount of 9mm 115 gr. for $15.95. Better than I have seen elsewhere in awhile.

Morning all, I am asking this question because I hear this repeatedly. Do you know people that think their firearms are "registered" because they filled out a 4473 form? It seems like so many people are confused by this. Thanks
