    Chicken help

    I've always wanted to have chickens for laying so I was at Atwoods the other day and bought 6 chicks. 3 are black and 3 are yellow. I asked for help identifying what kind they were and no one could tell me. Had a tub of straight run which they said weren't sexed and could be male or female...

    What do you use to swage your military brass?

    Just wonder what everyone uses to swage crimped primer pockets? I have seen several different ones out there and wondered what is the easiest to use? A couple years ago I picked up a Dillion Super swage off ebay and used it for the first time the other day on some 5.56 brass. It worked...

    Dang the dangers!

    That is pretty decently priced ammo. I see why you buy it. I have a friend that shoots A 6.5 Swede also. Very accurate rifles. That's why I have been keeping an eye out for a decent rifle. According to him, the better ones are few and far between now days unless you want to pay an arm and a...

    69gr. Sierra MK HPBT

    Olyerrer....yes I am using a single stage press. I have 4-5 different powdersto load my 5.56 with. I will be using SMK 69gr.HPBT. I had decided to use Varget or CFE223. Will go with Varget. Starting load states 24.0 gn. For Varget. Should I start at 21.6 gn. Which is 10% lower since its LC...

    Dang the dangers!

    Just saw another gun accident video of a older rifle blowing up in a guys face. He was injured but survived. Makes me kinda nervous to think a simple reloading mistake Can really seriously injure or kill. I double check everything but you still need to make safety your number 1 priority...

    69gr. Sierra MK HPBT

    Done processing brass and trying to decide which powder to use with a 69 SMK HPBT. Heard Varget is accurate but long sticks don't meter well. I also have some CFE223 that I could try. Anyone have a favorite load to share as an idea for 69.SMK's? Will be shooting out of AR15. I also was...

    Great Depression Cooking - The Poorman's Meal

    Wow thanks for posting. We have made that for two nights in a row and love it! Only thing I changed was instead of hotdogs, I substituted smoked sausage. Clara has several videos and I plan on trying a few of her other recipes. She's a hoot, and I like listening to her funny stories of the...

    Crimping 5.56 x 45

    You all are correct. Forgive me for saying I roll crimped my pistol cases when I actually put a slight "taper crimp" on them. I use RCBS dies and the instructions clearly state that it is a taper crimp and not roll crimp as I mistakenly called it. So to correct myself as was pointed out, I...

    Long term storage of .22 ammo.........what's your method?

    Yep I've stored .22 ammo all sorts of ways and never had a problem with it. I will tell you that most of mine is just stored in original container in a safe except for a couple boxes of 550 rds. Of Rem. Golden bullet and 550 rd boxes of Federal. I put then in a metal 50 cal ammo box and stored...

    Crimping 5.56 x 45

    Dennis I should have been more specific. What I meant was I was wondering if using the Lee crimper messed up the brass any with its specific crimp technique. I have used a slight roll crimp on some of my pistol ammo. I usually don't crimp pistol ammo but have in the past put a slight roll...

    Crimping 5.56 x 45

    Thanks. That's what I thought. Siad if its an auto loader you should crimp and if its a single shot or bolt gun there wasn't really any need to crimp. Shopping for a Lee factory crimp die now.

    Crimping 5.56 x 45

    I'm just now starting to reload for 5.56 x 45 and am curious what crimp everyone prefers. During my research I found that it seems you can either put a slight roll crimp or use a Lee factory crimp. I am leaning towards using the Lee crimp but I was wondering if the crimp messes up your brass...

    FBI switching to 9mm

    Ebola Threat

    Pretty sure its a little more than breathless hand wringing. The numbers say it's so. Im certain its seems over exaggerated when there hasnt been cases here, but with a wide open border, who's says someone wont sneak in purposely and start a pandemic here? It' be too easy. Besides, it's showing...
