Ah, yes looked it up.  Another manufacturer, not the company Tannerite.  It is said that mixture is even more unstable and can cause fires, I guess they had to make it so, so a .22 could set it off.

Could be many things, info not released, media spin (bb guns don't get ratings), or simply reported way too soon before all facts were known.  That is why I wait for a bit before really getting into a story, its way too easy to get worked up about something when a little time can clarify everything, well most everything. 

I pay no more than about $1 a lb for lead, many on the Castboolits site sell it off and on and there are steady supplies at or around that price, here is one for about $1.07 a lb for range lead: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?303176-range-lead-for-sale   I have also found locals selling lead from boat keels, got free lead from tire shops etc, so scrounging can definitely bring some of the costs down.  The most expensive thing this and reloading takes is time, you have to commit yourself to learning all the ins and outs of casting and reloading for cast or you will just frustrate the living snot out of yourself, or worse injure yourself.   But what I like is that I can experiment with different weights, shapes and coatings to see exactly what my guns like, and most of the equipment has resale value if you decide its just not for you.  

Doesn't surprise me, once they snap everyone they know says "he was the nicest guy", " I never thought he was capable" etc.  Unfortunately, sometimes the only thing that separates these folks is the act itself.

Saving money by casting is the same as saving money by reloading.  You can go cheap, such as using a homemade lead melting setup and use a laddle to pour your molds to start, Lee molds etc but soon you will be looking to upgrade.  Then you will need to get something to size and lube your bullets, collect or purchase lead which can be anywhere from $1 to $2.50 lb for wheel weight ingots.  So short answer is no, not much savings but you will shoot more, learn a skill and as Dolo said, you can shoot no matter what the market does.

Got this from another site, of course there the sky is falling.  To me it looks like someone may of come across a training exercise, our guys, but nowadays who knows: https://www.superstation95.com/index.php/world/1086

Maybe a .17 or other higher velocity RF but I don't think a .22 LR has enough energy to make it go off, reliably at least.  Are there any other brands or just tannerite?  I haven't seen tannerite marketed for RF, I was looking at it once to see if a hand gun could set it off but unless it's a new product they only recommended rifles to set them off.

Strike three I guess.  Seems he was given the benefit of a doubt a time or two, don't know if it was because of the fact that he was a pastor, wealthy, or simply didn't do anything bad enough to incarcerate him, but he slid by.  Bad mental health is a B, could almost be disguised as activism by the looks of it.

+1 for the 5.11, and they are not too expensive to boot.

I'm thinking he shot Daryl's ear off, as payback.

The ones I have, have a couple of plastic plates that keep it from torquing the upper, like this, which do help.

I got these, so far so good:

This was announced quite a bit ago, a year or two?, it effected many of the Freedom Group companies such as AAC, and DPMS and Bushmaster.  So they can make all the excuses they want, and they are true, but it's all about money.  Remington has made many unwise decisions IMHO, such as introducing a cheap source of 300 BLK ammo, then pulling it due to "QC" issues.  I, and others feel it was a bait and switch to get people into the caliber.  No, these companies are being run by a business doing things against the brand, which sucks because I have a few of their products.

Clarksville used to be like that, now you hear about shootings and other crimes left and right.  Maybe those crimes just didn't make the news?  Those guns had to come from somewhere.

With 9mm there is a slight taper, but even so I never heard any issues with thickness or too much expansion with any brass cases.  Check your die for buildup, then lube the cases a bit if needed afterward.

I respectfully disagree, I have seen people post worse about many a business, especially the ones that post "no guns", and a few theaters etc.  And while this particular thread may of been a bad place to make that comment, it should not of been attacked like that.

I don't know about that, I seem to recall a lion, or pair, that killed just for S&G; I think they even made a movie about it.

Well, I'm out.  But the whole don't talk about sponsors thing concerns me a bit. First let me state that I have no issues, as of yet, with any sponsor, so not directed at any of them.   I understand not trashing them for some perceived slight or an issue not addressed by management first, but even sponsors should be able to be reviewed IMO.  Just because they buy advertising space should not afford them protection from someone posting their experience with them if negative.  This is the second time I've seen posters get trashed for simply posting their opinion, and not too bad a comment if you ask me.  

But did you pay attention?  He may of been trying to communicate and it just slipped your attention.  No, no I meant snake, otherwise it wouldn't fit the whole all animals are " good" analogy.

So the snake didn't play a part in humanities fall?  

Ah, and here I thought that maybe the PC police had made them change it in the TV showings.

They sort of shoot themselves in the foot regarding these opinions though.  On one hand they treat these as law, while totally disregarding others, such as the whole Guns in Parks opinion.  

I believe I read that he had a pellet gun he used in his pest control business.  I don't know the exact circumstances, but there were a few officers and other witnesses present, so there are a few differing stories coming out, of course.

For the most part that's correct, they all have to meet minimum standards.  On my Sequoia, I replaced the windshield twice, the first time I got a non OEM glass, all they had at the time.  It looked the same except the black mask near the rearview mirror, on the OEM it's raised like, while non OEM wasn't.  The tint was also different, not as good, less sun block.  I asked for OEM on the next one and they ordered it, no price difference, both through Safelite and USAA.

I am wondering if this home owner has anything to worry about? http://fox59.com/2016/03/24/homeowner-shoots-intruder-during-attempted-home-invasion/
