Thanks, picked up two more that are road island reds. They are the only two I know what they are. Lol
Oh and i didn't exxplain very well in my first post but i bought the chicks not in the straight run tub, but from the tub that was supposed to be all hens. They all had a band clipped to...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
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.
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...
Interesting ballistics article on 9mm vs. .40 &. .45 cal. And
why the FBI is switching out its agents .40's for 9mm's.

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...
Id tell my family to do what they had to do to,survive until I came back for them cause I,m fixing to go all
out Wyatt Earp on those lotters arses! I'm going after them and bringing hell with me until I personally kill
Every last one or die,in the process. After all, i travelled 150 miles with...
