The brass can be used almost indefinitely. You can also cut costs by reloading lead bullets instead of jacketed ones, more if you cast your own. Picking up brass at the range is cheaper than buying it. If you buy it, once fired is much cheaper than new. Short of that, it isn't that much cheaper....especially if you count your time. The main reason I reload is to get loads I can't buy already loaded.

Birchwood Casey makes a metal finish called Plum Brown. I used it on a pepperbox replica, and was quite pleased with the antiue look of it.

I'd challenge you to dispute anything he said.

Typical Tennessee State Trooper attitude in my experience.

You could head east on i-40 and get off at the Mt Juliet exit. Turn left at the light. After you cross the Interstate, The Reloader's Bench will be on your right. He should be able to accomodate you.

Academy Sports in Rivergate did as well.

Tennessee Conservation Elk tag-First elk hunt 150 yrs! - eBay (item 200360985418 end time Jul-26-09 19:00:00 PDT) Found it!!! Looks like $17,700. Boy was I off on my estimate!

So, what did it bring? Anyone got a link. I never could find it.

Disclaimer: This is my own personal experience and should not be construed as advice to follow my lead. I have fired 32 acp ammunition in a 32 short revolver with no ill effects.

texts from last night My newest favorite website! Thanks for sharing, JasonGar8.

Also have the best slaw ever!!!

I would think that most any tool and die shop could make that happen for a nominal fee, as most aren't all that busy currently.

They're what life's all about! Enjoy them before they grow up and leave.

He didn't even ask you to pull his finger frist? How rude!!!

Just a short drive north of the great state of Tennessee via 31-E lies the small town of Scottsville Kentucky. Scottsville is home to what I believe is the world's greatest catfish restuarant. It's a bit off the main road, but anyone within 100 miles of there will gladly point you in the right direction. If you've never tried it, it will surely be worth your drive. Don't waste the effort of dressing up, as this isn't a very fancy place, but I go to eat great food and not to bask in ambiance. I'm in no way affialiated with this restuarant, but I thought you'd like to try it. I'm sure others here can vouch for it's fine cuisine as well.

Some handguns, by design, aren't safe to carry with a round in the chamber. Those belong in a museum. A modern revolver or 1911 style pistol should be carried with the chamber loaded.

I went to the Academy Sports in Rivergate tonight, and they were fairly well stocked with ammo.

Sounds good for the barrel. Strike two.

Strike one.

Are match heads corrosive? Has anyone tested any of these loads with a strain guage or other device to determine the pressures they create? What is the shelf life of one of these reloaded primers? How consistant are the velocities of rounds oladed with these? This Jeff Foxworthy method of loading ammunition should not be advocated and should be left to people who have access to a ballistics lab and the knowledge to read and interpret the results of extensive tests. In a self defense situation, I'd rather be armed with a knife, bow, or hammer than some homemade might work ammo.

I would not be too leery of buying a carry revolver used, as they are usually not shot that much. If the gun looks good and locks up tight, I'd say you're good to go. To test the lock up, pull the hammer all the way back while simultaniously pulling the trigger. While holding the gun in this position, try turning the cylinder with your other hand. It should have very little if any play. Next, look at the screws. Be leery of one if the heads are buggered up. That is a telltale sign of an amateur gunsmith. If the finish looks good, and these areas are good, and assuming it indexes correctly, it should be good.

I didn't realize it was possible.

Anything less than 1" at 100 yards.....however, I'm more of a rifle guy.

"Primers" Ahh the good old days. I kind of remember what they looked like sitting on the shelves.
