For anyone that has a poly 1911, wouldn't the reduced weight in the lower half change the recoil characteristics that make the 1911 so desirable to shoot. JTM Sent from my iPhone

I agree with the suicide thing. When clean my guns, I usually check my guns 2 or 3 times while cleaning. Lay gun down go get a glass of tea come back check gun. Drink tea check gun. Come on guys. This ain't rocket science. I vote suicide. JTM Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The only problem that have with casting an storing is storing. I really struggle with saving ammo. Lol JTM Sent from my iPhone

That is true about having boolits already cast. Just as easy to store. JTM Sent from my iPhone

There are many uses for copper if you are building things to help you survive. In my mind, end of the world situations include being creative in surviving and making your life better and better for the ones that you love. My prepping partner and I just made a trade deal for a 1000 lbs of lead blocks that are not for sale caster they are strictly for a rainy day. I plan on starting to cast bullets in the future just for the training and ability. But won't touch my rainy day stash for that. In all reality the most valuable thing I think will be plantable seed. Most seed, to my understanding, is hybrid and the product of that seed is not good for replanting. No one can save enough food to last forever. Those who have the knowledge to produce food will survive. It won't be easy but you won't die. No one knows what will be valuable in a EOTWAWKI situation. A prime example is Spots on here and his primitive black smithing hobby. I have been meaning to take some time off work to go to one of his classes. This is a skill that will be very valuable in any situation. To me, prepping is not about acquiring items but knowledge. Do I have things put back to get by until crops can be raised and camp can be set up yes, but am I totally dependent on these things, no. JTM Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My father-law-law sent me to a article on metal values and just want to get a feel for what people are saving. I know lead is going to be number on. I do not cast bullets yet, but am saving lead and playing with casting ingots. Here is the article let me. Now what you think. James Wesley: I read with interest your article on saving nickels. My question to you is why are nickels better than quarters? Is it not easier to store a larger sum of funds in the same physical space with quarters than nickels? If they do devalue the [printed] US Dollar by a factor of 10, then a nickel will [effectively] be worth 50 cents but a quarter will be worth $2.50. Regards, - Richard F. JWR Replies: As a hedge against a zero (or two) being dropped from the paper Dollar, nickels (the U.S. five cent piece) and clad quarters are indeed comparable. But from the perspective of base metal content value, consider: A debased clad quarter (91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel) is actually worth $0.0516021. That base metal is only 20.64% of the coin's face value. In contrast, a nickel (75% copper and 25% nickel) is actually worth $0.0536129. That base metal is 107.22% of the coin's face value. So, by their base metal content, each nickel is worth slightly more than a quarter! (Reference: Coinflation.com. Access date: 22 September, 2012.) In summary, the U.S. Nickel is the ONLY instantly-recognizable coin in common circulation that is worth more than its face value. Granted, the pre-1981 U.S. pennies are presently worth 248% of their face value, but those require sorting--either time-consuming sorting by eye or electronically with a $500 Ryedale coin sorting machine. Though I stocked up substantially in 2006 and 2007, I still ask for a $20 tray of nickels each time that I visit the bank. Someday my children will thank me for that. Back in 1963, you could walk into a bank and walk out with all the 90% silver quarters you could carry. Each silver quarter is now worth $6.24. That is 2,496.42% of face value. (Again, according to Coinflation.com.) I see nickels as a similar opportunity for our generation. The composition of the U.S. nickel has been the same since 1946. But once it is inevitably debased (most likely to a stainless steel slug with a base metal value of less than 1/10th of a cent), our window of opportunity will close. Stock up!

This was a neat experiment. Five gallon bucket about 16" of sand fill bucket with water. Three rounds but bucket didn't make it. If you want to save the sand or take you time shooting use two buckets. Sand stopped bullets but pressure blew the sides out of bucket. JTM Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

She just needs 1 caliber for now I expect more later. She needs them Monday. Will get a list together when she gets home cause I am sure there will be more later. Thanks for the offer. JTM Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. Water and newspaper will be my route. I have plenty of both. JTM Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Cool. Did water make the rounds expand. I think she has to do some comparison between jhp and fmj cause she asked for both. Not really sure but will try that. JTM Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This is ridiculous. I used to live next door to a lowlife that let her toddlers stay outside all the time and no one said a word because they stayed in their yard and outside of being loud didn't hurt anyone. JTM Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Does anyone know if a jhp bullet will expand when shooting into loose sand? My daughter needs some expanded hp bullets and fired shell casings for her criminal justice class in college and I have never intentionally tried to expand a jhp bullet before. If not does anyone have a good media that will stop a bullet that can be made at home that will expand a jhp round. Using white box winchester 230 gr jhp 45acp. JTM Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
