Common powders - imr 4350, benchmark, varget, CFE 223 if you have it (haven't found any in months and been wanting to try it). Also some .224 bullets.

Got this from a friend off facebook BEWARE plastic bottles

Ah, drano and tin foil... Just saying, The Works works better than Drano... My knowledge is a couple years old though.. -
I would say every kid is going to be different, but I plan on starting my daughter around 5. I think I was 7 before I got to shoot, but I was shown how to be responsible and watched my dad clean them before.

It is better than any pork you will buy at a store IMO. But like any wild game is all in the preparation.
-
Will David or someone be there with reloading supplies? If so how does the stock look, I'm needing some common powders and stuff. Had plans to travel to Nashville and get stuff but the Borough is about the same distance away.
-
I haven't went in years, but we used to gig and shoot with a .22. Either way can be a challenge, we used to compete with the 22s to see who could make the furthest shot, etc.
-
Hmm, hadn't thought about reaching out to one of the local wardens to see if they had any leads. I may see if the guys here would have any contacts over to the east. I'm really only looking to shoot a couple for meat, but would certainly help try and control the local population.

Exactly the comparison I used. :-) I predicted a 60-0 win to my fiancee, they came up short at 45-0.

I was using Hornady One Shot, still have a full can plus of it and use sometimes. But I have switched over to using Dillon lube, which is based on the lanolin recipe. It works much better for larger/thicker brass.

I just paid attention today and having the same issue. I don't remember it before... I have a 46 inch wide screen and DirecTV standard def. I have adjusted every video setting on the receiver and my TV and still getting cut off. Hell I even set both device to full screen mode (4:3) where the display is just a square half the size of my screen and it cuts off.

I suppose I could make it a mini vacation and head somewhere... Thanks Dave, will check them out. Edit, I will have to call them. Google doesn't have a direct website, their Facebook hasn't been touched in 2 years, may not even be around anymore.

I know you don't like'em but ....
TNMTBik3r replied to Fourtyfive's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I wouldn't care if it was 9 cents a round, I would not buy from them. But to each his own, regardless I'm glad people who need ammo are able to get it. -
Yes...Orange and White Saturdays are back!!! Will be watching Vandy tonight, hell I watch every football game I can regardless of teams. Love college football.

I live south of Nashville, no wild hogs in the area that I am aware of yet. I know hogs are an issue just a couple hours away (Crossville area) but I don't know anyone in that area to try and hunt private land. I have never liked hunting public land so the WMA areas during deer season is not desired even though it is a possible option. What I am looking for is the chance to shoot a couple for meat. The outfitters in East TN specialize in trophy boar from what I see on their websites, and hunts are priced accordingly. Does anyone know of affordable opportunities to put some meat in the freezer? I have considered calling a couple of the outfitters to see about pricing for a couple of meat hogs, just haven't gotten around to it. I wouldn't mind making the two hour drive just for a day of hunting if I knew odds of success were high. Thanks for any info you might have.

I have never done that but know a couple people I work with have. It seems like s good idea if you have the account and funds in it.

I used CareCredit for my LASIK surgery... 2 years 0% and this way I can use my HSA to pay it off over the two years. No issues with it, but it is a credit card...
-
Agreed - die part number and pics of the brass will be beneficial to try and figure this out. I would be extremely shocked at two sets of defective dies from RCBS but less likely events have occurred before...

If you are wanting to shoot a reduced load, you first have to find what works and then slowly reduce powder in stages. I did this with my 9mm...started midrange with 4.2 grains of Titegroup, verified function and accuracy through 100 rounds and then slowly began reducing powder to get a reliable reduced recoil load. I found that 3.5 grains was the bare minimum for 90% reliability in MY pistol, so I went with 3.7 grains for 100% and a small margin of error with my powder measure or scale. In this case, it seems you started off on the low side to begin with. My method to find a starting load is look at my manuals and average the min/max loads for the bullet/powder combo between what is in the books (I use 2-5 resources to find the average). And remember every pistol is different so a minimum reliable load in one may not function in the second.

Interesting - and maybe the first sign of hope for ammo supplies
TNMTBik3r replied to JAB's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I saw some just over a month ago at A-H Reloading. Haven't been anywhere since but I have about 400 gold dots still to load in 9mm so I don't really watch for hollow points anyways. -
Trying to wait patiently... And yeah, the Opie events were difficult...

I haven't used it for an XP client, but hyper-v works great. The version with Windows 8/Server 2012 is simple to configure. VMware is the way to go though if you are looking to build a true virtual infrastructure, but Hyper-V is awesome for small offices or home use.
-
I use used ones and they work fine.
-
I dump mine out after each use, then use the shop vac to get any residue out. Works for me. and a dryer sheet rubbed in the hopper helps with powder clinging.

I have an original working NES. And a PS3. Hardly ever play them anymore though. When I play my ps3 it is call of duty, socom, or skyrim.
