That's amazing. My guess is that they also vote democrat.

A few minutes ago, I got the following email from a hotmail account from bross6mm: "Hi there, I really hope that you've had a good 2021 so far and that things are going well for you! Can I ask you for a quick favor? Thanks Buddy" I've known Buddy for years to the point we'll say hi when we...

Yeah? Well, here in NW Florida, it got chilly enough for me to put on a long sleeved tee shirt and socks.

$70/lb is a penny per grain or close to $.30/round in powder for a PPC round. I think primers are running pretty close to $.30 too and bullets pushing $.30? That $.30 price is coming up too often for coincidence. Add a little bit for brass costs and the tab is getting close to $1.00/round. Not...

From the article: "Our sources say Tessica's hired an attorney and is weighing her legal options against Gorilla Glue. We're told the label on the product she used says do not use on eyes, skin or clothing ... with no mention of hair, which Tessica feels is misleading." I notice that Gorilla...

In other news, woman thinks Gorilla Glue has to be hair gel for black women and sues manufacturer after 22 hours in emergency room. This isn't gun related but it's so funny I couldn't help myself. https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/08/gorilla-glue-girl-unable-remove-glue-lawsuit-legal-action-sue-tiktok

No, that honor belongs to the brilliant Hank Johnston of Atlanta. You have to really hand it to the Navy Admiral he was talking to when Hank suggested the possibility that the island could flip over under the weight of Navy and Marine personnel. If it was me that Hank was talking to, I would...

Don't know about the 50's but in the late 70's when I started loading, I was paying $1/hundred, which would be $10/thousand. Stands to reason that a case of 5000 would have been cheaper but I bought my 1st case in the early 90's.

This isn't a popular viewpoint but I believe in greatly increased prices in the face of extreme shortages. Here's a quick personal story to explain why. Sometime in the middle of the last primer shortage, somewhere around 2009-2010 I think. I was visiting someone (a br shooter) in the Mobile...

From my point of view, darkness does seem to be descending. Straight pull and roller locked like a H&K too. Pretty sure Savage decided that they've got keeping the barrel in place covered. Wonder how many people will just snug them up, get distracted and launch the barrel? Anyway, that's as...

How are you handling the shortages at the competitions? I know a lot, probably most of you, keep enough in stock to float over a little multi-year extreme shortage without noticing it. Even me for the rounds I've been shooting for years but I was thinking about a 6.5 Creedmore barrel for one of...

I use flickr but same thing. Sony A7RII by Tom, on Flickr

The first image is hosted offsite on flickr.com. I used their embed code. The 2nd (small image) is on my computer but it's way downsized from the original 25+ meg file. This site won't take images with too large a file size. I entered the image by using the "insert image" button. It inserts...

Testing So long and thanks for all the fish! by Tom, on Flickr That worked, I'll try another way

My precious, my precious---

For the several decades I've been reloading there have been a number of shortages for this component or that. Trying to remember how many primer shortages now. I know several BR guys who are sitting on enough primers to provide the Normandy Landings. I'm not at that level but would imagine that...

I'd think that some Walmarts are more susceptible than others. Also, doesn't Walmart try to some extent to tailor their inventory to their location? In my rural county, the Walmart sporting goods gun selection tends to hunting rifles whereas a Walmart in East St Louis would carry mostly cheap...

But unfortunately, the ultimate conclusion of "economies of scale driven consolidations" tends to monopolistic practices.

Seems to me that it would be pretty simple to whip up a excel based VFS score spreadsheet.

I've read that Hodgdon's acquired IMR a few years ago and, as of the beginning of October this year, acquired Western, Ramshot and Accurate. To give a graphic idea of what level of market dominance this means, below is a Sierra reloading chart for a random round, 6.5 Grendel. Of all the powders...
