Re: The Dr. Fauci Coronavirus?

I have been reading a book titled "The Real Anthony Fauci" by RFK Jr.
Written several years ago, heavily cross-referenced and foot-noted.
When I say this, I mean that I could probably spend the rest of my life reading all of the material that is referenced in this book.
An eye-opener, to say the ...

CLOSE, PLEASE Anyone shoot or reload .25acp?

If so, I have a favor to ask.
If you have between two and four empty cases you could spare, I have a use for them.
I have "squib rods" for .44/45 and 9mm/.38. Now I want to make one (or two) for my .32s.
I will pay for postage to my home address.
Please post here or pm me if you can help.
Thank ...

Redding Titanium/Carbide "Pro Series" dies for .40/10mm, MAKE OFFER Dillon 550 caliber conversion

I recently sold my 10mm Dan Wesson CBOB.
If you would like to reload 10mm or .40 S&W, these titanium/carbide Pro Series dies are the best available.
Used to load about 250 rounds over the last 15 years.
Also includes a Dillon seat/crimp die, so you can seat at one station and crimp at the next ...

Hodgdon Trail Boss powder for sale or trade--Lewisville

I received this as part of a package deal. Never used any of it; I have other powders for the chamberings I load for.
The bottle has been opened and approx 2 oz was used (from the original 9 oz weight).
These days, a full 9 oz bottle goes between $95 and $125 (check GunBroker sold items).
I am ...

Re: Some peoples reloading math is retarded

I have never heard any reloader claim they could reload for infinity.
Same here, so I don't understand the premise of the post.
I had a friend who got me interested in handloading because he did it, and I saw that it wasn't difficult. I actually started picking up my brass and buying the ...

Re: Which is easier to Maintain, a Mini-14 or an AR15

I have owned and enjoyed multiple examples of each since around 1983 (AR) and 1985 (Mini).
I think an AR is marginally easier to disassemble, but due to the DI system, the AR needs more frequent disassembly and cleaning.
The Mini does not require removal of the bolt for normal cleaning. Couple ...

Re: You get a 5am alarm alert this morning

Yeah, my wife has one, but audible alerts are turned off.
If she wants to view them when she wakes up, great.
No need to turn anything "on" or "off" daily, hourly, etc.

If the world comes to an end and I'm somehow the last to know...my bad.
Not something I lose sleep over.

Re: YOU got a 5am alarm alert this morning--I didn't.

Just another of the many reasons I have not owned a cell phone since 2004.
No plans on changing that.

Re: DELETED FROM TEXAS GUN TALK

I joined up there a year or so ago. Honestly, didn't see a whole lot of benefit to being a member...quit hanging out there pretty quickly.
If they were to ban me I probably wouldn't notice.

Bottom line--Dr. Carlson, you keep doing you--you are just fine.
It's their loss. Plenty of us are happy to ...

But, I still have:
