Re: Coping with Quarantine
<r>As for working out, here is my home exercise equipment. Oh and if others can claim lifting a beer multiple times as exercise I can include my Rock Chucker Bullet Swaging Jr press handle as well. <br /><br />Those jugs are filled with sand which is 56% heavier than water - tried water first but on...

Re: Question on powder
Yes, 30-40 brass is impossible to find around here. The last 100 cases I got were ordered by a fella from another state that works with my son. I keep a supply of 303's in case it ever gets to that point to convert them.

Re: Question on powder
That's good to know as a last resort with the extra cost involved. When this first went into effect a couple of the then smaller sources still shipped and then no one did and I never looked into it again.

Re: Question on powder
KC, thanks for the tip about the run on reloading supplies. I'm retiring the end of this month and looking forward to reloading and casting as relaxing hobbies rather than just supplying the other hobby for the past 45 years. Will have to check a couple gun stores on the way to the cabin this weeken...

Re: Museum Items Worth Seeing ....
<r>Every once in a while when on one of these excursions you bump into an unexpected gem. Although not gun or military related, this is one of those. In 2016 I took my grandson to the St Johnsbury(VT) Anthenaeum which is a combination public library and art museum built and donated by the Fairbanks ...

So how do you pronounce the good Colonel's last name and the cartridge named after him?

Re: Question on powder
Hercules became Alliant Powder in 1995 so it is at least 25 yrs old. Is there a date on the can? I have a 5lb plastic jug of Alliant Unique someone gave me already opened quite a while ago I'm still using that is production dated Jun 29 1995 and appears to be still good. I would think an unopened ca...

Re: I blame Whig!
That's nice. I like short barrels. It would have made a nice scout rifle. And how old is that ammo at that price? Never thought I'd see gas below $2.00 again....I know ammo at that cost is not coming back.
