This. Any public place should be fine.

Being really into handguns, I quickly ran out of space with them lying flat. Different things work, but what I did was mak an L shaped wooden rack, drilled into it at the proper heights, and put in a short (1-2 inch) dowel rod stick. The guns now sit on their magazines with the barrel onto those dowel rods, saving much space! For the big ones (too tall, this is our competition guns with red dot sights on em) that must lay flat, we store those in plastic transportation style boxes. In those boxes, they can be stacked up 3-4 deep on a shelf to save space again. These space saver ideas should work no matter where you store them, mine just happen to be in a safe.

second rough literal translation 800 cartridges of ball ordinance (ammo) of 7.62 1950 for carbine something something 16 boxes of 50 etc.

pretty sure tula and wolf work together, but not 100% sure. Both have been around for a long time and have done well selling ammo to the USA. The worst thing I have seen from them (apart from the hard cases which can work over your mag lips and extractors) is they spark a bit out the barrel and some of these brands have bimetal jacket (copper over steel) which sparks downrange and makes some range officers upset. A few reports of getting like 1 .40 in a box of 9mm or other mixups. Have not heard of any kabooms.

I think midway has a nice blind for sale until the end of the month.

I can only imagine what body parts of who might have been on mr desk in the clinton era.

Its been done for decades. Long long ago we had a dumb terminal. They renamed this idea to "the cloud" and suddenly its new and cool and stuff. Spin doctors and wordsmiths can sell anything, I guess.

I would probably do the same, sometimes putting your feet up helps. If the thing is too valuable to use, get it out of there. If it is meant to be used, then use it. If it were me and someone told me to take care of it due to its age, I would send their butt down to walmart for one I could use and tell them to stow this one out of my way.

Brand and type matter for sure. I use levi's and can get my px4 in but its a tight fit in a holster and works better without a holster for that gun. My wife struggles with her p238 in most women's jeans -- women are expected to carry their stuff in a purse and pockets are tiny. Pockets vary so much that I would try the pants on with the gun before buying, if possible or with a block of wood or something of the same size if not allowed at your store. You can get a lot into a pocket if you buy the right clothing and gun combo but it takes a fair amount of work to get there.

Oh and I am not sure dell counts. They add a premium as well, for their service agreements and brand name, or used to (?). I won't buy from them, I didnt accept the apology where they refused to sell to a gun shop a few years back and only backed down when it became bad PR. As far as the IPOD goes... my creative labs mp3 player has worked for a decade now and I can copy files off and onto it without dealing with any sort of frustration, something the same generation of ipod would not allow due to apple's heavy handed software.

wow, they just told on the news, arsenic in apple juice

Im not sure that booze "killls" toxic chemistry. But it sounds like a good plan anyway! -
We have a VW bug police car (or did have?) -- if I remember it was in tiftonia, parked and unused (maybe a trainer or something??). Been a while since I last saw that one.

9mm is .36 caliber. The hoppes boresnake for example has this snake product ID for these rifle calibers: [TABLE=align: center] [TR] [TD]24018[/TD] [TD=align: left].35, .350, .357, .358, .375 caliber [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

Mac is overpriced and brings little to the table. Hard core fans are going to tell you their preferred system is better but every example of "better" is either a lie, a personal preference, a misunderstanding, or a small feature that actually is better but is countered by some feature on the other system type that is better. Both are fine for a typical user, able to do gaming, word processing, internet, and so on without much difficulty. But you wait for it, some mac user (sorry, but they do have a reputation for this) will get on here to talk about how a poorly maintained windows system crashes or how a $300 walmart system does not have good graphics (buy a graphics card if you want graphics, or not if you do not, its a choice) or how some doofus who has 100000 viruses and malwares running has an unstable or slow system. A windows system requires the user to maintain it, so does a unix or mac system. Take the above post... "blue screen of what" .... my pc has not bluescreen failed in years, has only crashed a time or two this year and without the bluescreen (from bad third party software including a beta game). Its a misrepresentation, macs do not blue screen, that is the window's approach, instead they have a different looking crash screen. Does the color of the screen *really* matter when the machine crashes?! Or note how its ok for mac to virutal machine to run software that is not available on a mac (this is a common problem...) but somehow a windows machine with a virutal unix box is no good or impossible?? Of course windows users can fire up a unix VM or use cygwin command line tools (or dual boot). And, cygwin is freeware, linux is freeware, but when a mac user has a VM system running the windows OS, well, a lot of them "forget" to pay for the copy of windows and the copy of the software being used..... Not all users, but many pirate the windows to use in a VM. Note I am not saying windows is better. Let me stress that both can make a good or a poor system depending on what is needed and what is bought. Neither one is better than the other overall, they are just very different. But you should beware folks in either camp that claim their snake oil is better.... no matter what you choose, educate yourself on how to maintain that system, both the hardware and the software and the OS, so you can enjoy your new computer at its best every day.

Lol back to their roots. The '66 I had was called... wait for it... the police interceptor model (galaxy series). Ford is in decent shape given that the demand for cars has to be down when things are so uncertain. They didnt take union bailout money from obama, which shows they are better managed than most. Sometimes, even when its an awesome design, the time comes to mix it up a little bit, guess they decided something new might pull in a few more buyers.

with the ability to shoot both calibers it will not be an issue even if 357 does someday go obsolete. The 357 and 40 calibers have a number of guns and barrel exchange setups and are in wide enough use that neither is in immediate danger even if they are pricy. Not sure about the 250, but I thought it was their lower end model, possibly less expensive to produce due to the simple action? Should be fine, they sell enough of them, but I have not shot this model.

Take a look at thektog.org -- they have a bunch of ways to customize the KT pistols and a forum full of owners who know them inside and out.

Bush did make a number of mistakes, and did a number of great things. So far Obama has only done one thing that I approved of and he was forced to do that or he would not have (did not create strict EPA regs on business). There is nothing wrong with green energy, but at some point the funding and research for it needs to go to some actual engineers who can produce actual results.... paying off activist "scientists" is epic fail, we end up with toxic compact lightbulbs instead of the better and obvious LED cluster bulbs, ethanol instead of propane conversion kits (which were invented decades ago), and a variety of very expensive ways to do very little such as 100 acers of windmills to produce a few megawatts if the wind happens to blow constantly. If they keep funding these algorite scientists, we will never have clean energy, period -- these folks do not understand that whatever they invent has to be practical and affordable, not just clean.

You can get the JSP from right at 200 grains up to a little over 300. Mine are 300. Its a fairly simple bullet design so I suspect one brand is much like another with minor differences in velocity and your choice of the weight.
-
you should be able to buy some online, try a google for magtech, one of the few brands that are easy to find.

New to reloading. Thoughts and opinions needed and welcomed.
Jonnin replied to IggyBcool's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Its really about the same for all calibers of pistols -- just go online and price the slugs you want to use. The rest of it is pretty close assuming you are a tightwad and use hot powders in your larger calibers. For example there are ultra hot powders like accurate #2 that just a few grains will load a .45, or there are weak powders that you need more than twice as much per shot. But if go you "tightwad" on us, assume about 3.5 grains average per shot, 1 primer, free brass, then you have some $30-40 per thousand + your bullet costs. To get the lower price means you bought bulk primers and powder, while higher assumes you bought a small amount per go on a budget. So that is $1.5 to $2 per box + your bullets. If you cast your own bullets from cheap lead, that could be a very low amount, and if you buy fancy competition target bullets with copper plating and so on it could be over $100 per thousand. The bullets are the real cost on anything bigger than 9mm, where the shipping for lead, amount of copper, and other issues begin to really crank up the price in a hurry. I think my last set of high quality large rifle bullets was $40 for 100 shots, and my last batch of medium quality 45s were right at $100 for 1000. -
That is where I was going too -- dies are 30-40 and press + shipping and whatever still under $100. By the time you locate and purchase a few boxes of ammo, you could have made 1000 rounds or more on this and more than broke even.

It is not about states rights at all. Permits and the concept of them is infringement of the second. State laws about gun ownership is infringement of the second. The feds simply need to uphold the constitution and let people own and carry weapons, and let that stand. The states truly have no right to do anything to limit who can and cannot own a weapon, the same as they may not limit who can vote or any of the others. Of course, they get away with it because our government has been filled with idiots for over 75 years, but that is another story. This bill is weaksauce, a wimpy attempt to do the right thing but it is bad because it accepts gun control as legal, and by accepting that, the feds pull their own teeth.

I think only lee has the lee loader. I know its pricy for one caliber but if you want to shoot a lot of the round, you can buy a press (cheap or used) and set of dies for about $100 total. You dont need a $800 rig for this, just a few simple items.

its totally unenforced then. I have a damascus steel ultra sharp, large size switchblade that I bought not too long ago, and at a gun show where nearly every knife vendor has a few of them. Most of them wouldnt stand up to "use" as a weapon, the handles are pretty sorry. But they sell the heck out of them.
