To all:___________ Lots of times when you (...reloaders or manufacturers...) dont crimp loads heavy enough (...especially the lead bullet loads...), you will get the problem of "dirty ignition". When you buy lead ammo (..and when you reload it, too...), make sure the bullet crimp is good and heavy. Lots of folks wont crimp 'low power" loads. That is a bad idea. All powders burn better and more completely when they have a heavy bullet pull (...or crimp...). You also get this with a poor crimp: Hope this helps. Kind regards, Leroy

I understand. I grew up on the knox county/sevier county line. Sevier county has experienced a population explosion in the last 30 or so years. Lots of good people come down to east tennessee, fall in love with the area (...and the people...), and move here. I'ts a good thing!! Again, Glad to have ya. Kind regards Leroy

Cant let this one pass: With all due respect. I believe that you cannot paint Republicans as "wanting to take money from the middle class and give to the higher class." This one is a stretch and is right out of the ole Demorat playbook. I will concede that all politicians to some degree will reach into everyone’s pockets. The fact is that these statements are naive at best. I would opine that you need to remember several things about politics and the creation of wealth. First of all, politics: · Politics is a "winner takes all" sport. There is no power sharing in politics at the national level. The majority party calls the shots. The demorats are calling the shots now. Their agenda is one of headlong charge into real socialism. The demorats are, in fact taking money from the about 1/2 the population and giving it to the other 1/2 who don’t work. I don’t like that and neither should anyone else. I say, let everyone pay his fair share. · I do not see the Republicans backing Orwellian ideas like national healthcare, the fat tax, and lots of other idiotic, nanny state bunk. I do see the demorats actively pursuing that exact agenda. Re: The creation of wealth. · No matter what you prefer to believe about the rich; they are the guys who make jobs in this country. Not the government, not the poor, not anyone else. Only the folks with money create jobs. The demorats have used the mantra of soak the rich while soaking everyone else for as long as I can remember (...and that is a pretty long time...). · The current demorat administration is the most anti capitalist bunch that have been in office in my lifetime (...and, most likely, everyone else’s' too...). · Government spending using dollars confiscated thru taxes create temporary jobs; not permanent ones for the most part. You cannot tax yourselves into economic prosperity. I do not believe in the "lets all get along" philosophy and back both parties idea. It simply won’t work in the atmosphere we find ourselves in at this juncture in history. No one is going to change the demorat party and bring it back to the old time fifties philosophy. The republicans are in danger of being morphed into the demorat party if they don’t straighten up and go back to the concepts of limited government, lower taxes, and constitutional government. I like the idea of a third party throwing all these bums out; but I doubt it can be done. Our only hope is that the republicans embrace what lots of the third party guys are saying. Food for thought.

Stranger:_________ RE: This question: Depending on your address, your rep is either TN8 or TN12. Go to this link to see who is running: Tennessee Secretary of State: 2010 Candidates For the TN8 race; . The sitting reps bio is here: Representatives - TN General Assembly. I dem running. See advice re TN 12 below (..sorry, cant read today...). TNH08DemocratMarvin Pratt472 Norton Creek Rd., Gatlinburg 37738SEVIER For the TN12 race; i like Montgomery (...bio here: Representatives - TN General Assembly If you live in the TN12 district; there is a choice of Republican or Democrat. My advice, go with Montgomery. I never like to see Democrats come from the Gatlinburg Area (...no indigenous natives up there are dems...). Gary T. Eichmann (...at risk of being accused of profiling; I would opine that "Eichmann" aint a genuine East Tennessee Scotch-Irish name...) is a genuine transplant from the outside (... you get lots of that in Gatlinburg, northern folks coming down, buying property, and bringing their voting habits with them...). Eichmann is running as a Democrat. I'm biased; I never vote for a Democrat no matter how high minded and upright the rhetoric and firm the handshake; but that is just me. Hopefully, others can post more information based on actual performance. RE: Unhappiness with alexander. I agree.

Dear Stranger45:___________ To understand TN politics you need to understand that TN is basically divided into three separate and distinct regions (...people and territory--almost like different states...) as follows: East Tennessee-- From the Tennessee River east (...really about the Cumberland Plateau east...) is republican territory; and always has been since the Civil War. Middle Tennessee (...runs from the Cumberland Plateau about to Camden, TN, where the Tennessee River flows north toward the Ohio...) is a mix; with (...in the old days, a distinct Demorat flavor...). Luckily, that is changing due to the buildup of folks in the Williamson Co area (...and other areas im sure...) who are actually trying to better themselves and are capitalists at heart...). The rural areas appear to be a mix of old time "New Deal" Democrats who are slowly finding out the "New Demorats" are selling them into slavery. Notable exceptions to this are the inner city areas of Nashville and the other usual places where folks are "on the dole"; plus the usual boschelvic trash around the colleges. West Tennessee is dominated by the Memphis metro area which is clearly Demorat. To summarize; the further west you go and the closer to the large metro areas such as Nashville; the more Demorat things become. Having said that, there are lots of good folks living in all those areas that are waking up to what the current crop of Demorats stand for. In modern times, Tennessee has tussled back and forth between "Blue Dog" Democrats and Republicans on the national scene. But the current trend (...since about 1970, i think...) has been that it is becoming more and more Republican at the Federal level. At the state level, things are also turning more and more Republican. The current governor (...Bredesen---) is a Demorat thru and thru, but he won on the heels of a RINO Republican (...Sundquist...) that was a dufus for sure. Bretesen is, for the most part, a pretty good fiscal policy governor; but he is a Liberal Ideologue thru and thru. He is, however, smart enough to keep quiet about it. Now, regarding your questions: · Governor --- I like Wamp. He is currently a republican congressman who is for the most part fiscally conservative, pro states rights and progun. I DO NOT LIKE HALSAM. SEARCH THE POSTS ON THIS FORUM FOR THE WHYS. · Senate--- Hot topic here. Our present Senator is Lamar Alexander. He is a blue nose Republican with overbearing tendencies; but, overall, he is a rabidly partisan Republican. SEARCH THE POSTS ON THIS FORUM FOR SOME INFO AND GOUSING ABOUT HIM. · Representatives -- The Sevierville area is in the territory of Jummy Duncan. A staunch Republican and fiscal conservative. He is a great friend to gun owners. I'm sure others will have additional information and opinions as well. This should get you (...and them...) started. Glad to have ya! Kind regards, Leroy

The holster looks great. I like the 238 too. Keep up the good work. Leroy

Thanks to all who have provided input; especially Froggy. Have done business with our buddies at Predator Custom Shop. Will get them to assemble whatever i can come up with. Again, many thanks and kind regards to all, Leroy

Dear fellow gun aficionados:____________ I believe that the overwhelming reason that revolvers have been pushed to the background in the "main stream" of new gun sales is as follows: Revolvers have been cast on the scrap heap of the police and military sector. For the military; since about 1911 and for the police since the 9 mm revolution of the early eighties. The gun press has spilled tank cars of ink telling folks that they need a pistol that shoots a gigillion times at all times. A revolver shoots 5 or 6 times. The big hitter: CNC machining technology has improved the manufacturing processes for all small parts to the extent that semi auto pistols that used to cost several thousands of dollars from custom gunsmiths who were relatively few in number, can be bought in today’s market at about $800 to whatever you are willing to pay, and are off the shelf items. Makers like Glock did something that no one had thought of before. They made a pistol with a frame made out of used plastic coke bottles that was ultra reliable and cheap. This is a great technological break thru and a revolutionary concept. For the most part, the big names in revolver making were traditionally headquartered in the North East. That means the union has had them organized for years. Union labor contributes to the cost of production. If it weren't for government contracts (...which give incentives for union labor, and punishments for foreign production, by the way...). Colt and S & W would already be dead. Nobody wants to give $1000 for a revolver that ought to cost $500. Now, having said all these heinous things about the poor revolver, i want to say some good things: I_Like_Pie hit the nail square on the head here; and summarized the whole issue as well as it could be said: Revolvers are dead reliable for several lifetimes if taken care of. Revolvers are as quick as anything out there if they are shot double action. A revolver will be in a dead heat for shooting with any semi auto IF the revolver man knows how to shoot double action. Every real student of handguns should own a revolver or two so he can really appreciate how well they work. Every student of history should own a revolver because they are a genuine part of American history. I say: "Collect 'em all"! Thus endeth the dissertation. Kind regards, Leroy

More interesting reading from "The Hill" blog (...link here:Mack ® compares Ariz. law to Nazi Germany - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room...). Spoken by US Congressman Connie Mack, Jr, Story here (...note the "money" sentence in red in the article...): Mack is the sitting Republican Congressman from Florida's Fourteenth district. West coast of Florida. Naples to Port Charlotte. A couple of things about this "opposition" interest me about his outraged pronouncements: 1. He aint got the problem that the folks in AZ have; yet he is "outraged" by their solution. There aint a common border between Florida and Mexico. Why is it that as smart as Congressman Mack is, he hasn’t thought of or supported the idea of enforcement of border security at the Federal Level? We used to do that (...years ago, of course...). I suspect that Congressman Mack is aware of that. 2. Plenty of yards to mow, beds to make, retirement cottages (...and palaces...) to build in his district --- you get the picture. Recon where that labor comes from? My take is Connie Mack Jr. could care less about anything other than cheap labor and Hispanic votes. Pandering, pure and simple. Notice Rubio's objection ---He is a Republican from Miami. He needs votes too. Interesting isn’t it. It appears to me that both Mack and Rubio are guilty of shameless pandering. I also find Mr. Mack's "Nazi" comments offensive. I suspect that the real residents of his district will too, if they get widely reported, that is. How about you? Food for thought. Leroy

I think this is a great truth; but I believe there is another component of this issue that has not been discussed nor reported much. I believe that one of the greatest factors in this move is that AZ got tired of their citizens being murdered and pushed around in ranches along the border by the Mexican Drug Cartel and other Mexican trash that own the border now and continue to operate with impunity (...and seeming immunity... from being punished. Remember, there are still two Border Patrol officers sitting in jail over this --- it happened on the Bush watch---he refused to pardon them----they were jailed by justice department bureaucrats….). The Federal Government has continued to refuse to do anything about it. This whole issue is being perpetuated to large extent by a political class that does not have any problems on their borders (...read that all the states that don’t border Mexico who have foolish representation, both Republican and Demorat, who are courting the Latino vote with an eye toward politics...). The fact is that an overwhelming majority of the citizens of this country DO NOT WANT AN OPEN BORDER BETWEEN MEXICO AND THE USA; but the political class has allowed a "shadow" open border thru refusal to act and orders to the bureaucracy. The current administration certainly doesn’t want to close the border because of the obvious pandering to the illegal Latino community with the goal of adding more serfs to govern to increase the voting base. An important, but secondary, effect of it is the reduction in illegal labor in the construction, yard mowing, and other such industries. I firmly believe that it is a start in the right direction for individual states that are much closer to the voters of the state than the federal government is. This issue aint about putting illegal day workers out of a job; as some would have you believe. It is about a combination of the abuse of federal power by individuals in both political parties and the use of federal authority and power to punish any within government who would presume to actually enforce the laws of this country. It is about the will of the individual people in individual states to feel secure in their own property. Food for thought. Keep up the good work, Leroy

I like it!!! It is, in fact, a "proscecution for profit" scheme. Leroy

I like the glocks to carry. Any of the 1911's to shoot and look at. Kind regards, Leroy

Dear fellow shooters:___________ I have decided to build a long range precision AR. I will be shooting from 68 to 80 grain pills thru this one. I am seeking your opinions on barrel length, twist, barrel manufacturer, ect, ect, and good loads for this combination. This rifle will be a flat top with a 6 power or above scope. I would like to see a .5 to .75 moa rifle at 300 + yards. Please provide your opinions on these weighty questions. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Leroy

Amen brother!! What a truth. I (...and many others, im sure...) are joining you in lining up to pee on this piece of trash's grave. His legacy shows what a public relations makeover can do. He has been rescued from: Murder or at least criminally neglegent homicide. Treason Extreme debauchery The upside is that he is finally gone. Good riddance. Leroy

Thanks for the post. I saw the article the other day on Drudge. Didn't think to post it. Kind regards, Leroy

Amen brother!! I heartily agree. Maybe we should start on the Great Danes now. I vote for the size of the Great Dane and the disposition (...toward aliens...) of the great German Shepherd (...the nuclear guard dog type...). Keep watching the skies!! Kind regards, "Tinfoil" Leroy

Greg:___________ I bought too many too!! Sixty eight grainers and seventy fives. Thanks for the "heads up". Kind regards, Leroy

Sad story about the "killing" of police dog. Link here: No charges in stabbing death of police dog Text here: On a more sober note, this is a sad story. I am a great fan of the fearless police dog. He will readily give his all to defend his master and eat up bad guys. It is a sad day when they get out of their pens and eat up the neighbors (...which appears to be what happened here...). It is sad, indeed. Yoris -- Rest in Peace Leroy

Emily:____________ I would let it soak until all the buildup is soft and can be wiped or swabbed away easily. The Hoppes will not hurt anything like the blueing or parkerizing. Hope this helps. Kind regrds, Leroy
