  Odd. The .doc works for me. Perhaps it is because I saved it using Word 2013? That's why I included the .pdf, I figured it would offer less hassle.

So, since it is so frigid outside, I decided to kick myself into gear for reloading again. Part of the joy of reloading is the organization aspect of it. Now, I think know that I am probably more "OCD" than most on here regarding the storage of this stuff. So I am in the process of really revamping my setup!   So, I put together the following "sheet" of labels (uses Avery 5366 at ~$.02 a label):   the .doc can be edited by you, I created the .pdf for those that may not have Microsoft Word installed. These cover the common calibers that I collect, I am providing them just as a starting point for you!   Labels .doc Labels .pdf   Now, in my "preparation" process I have three steps:   1) Sorting 2) Depriming (using Lee Precision Decapping Die) 3) Tumbling   Thus, my label use order obviously is "Unprocessed", "De-primed", and then "Tumbled". Depending on your order, I could see how some of you would instead go "Unprocessed", "Tumbled", and then "De-primed".   Now, I am considering purchasing something like Brother PC Connectable Labeling System (PT2730). However, I don't really even know if that would be worth it other than possibly more durable labels. So that is on the last of the list as a possibility. I will probably end up sticking with the Avery 5366 until I have a reason to purchase a label maker.   Now, I have various little bins and bags for sorting and processing the brass. What I'm interested in are methods for bulk storing large amounts of brass long term.   My current thoughts are to either buy a vacuum sealer or possibly just a bag sealer like this one:   8" (200mm) Impulse Manual Bag Sealer Heat Seal Closer + Free KIT   You can buy different size bags and then use that sealer to heat seal the open edge. Or I may just go with Ziploc bags. But the idea of heat sealing them sounds fun! This would also double as an excellent way (I presume) to store loaded ammo in little bags of 100.   After they are bagged I'm thinking of putting them into some sort of cardboard boxes. That's something that is stackable easily and can be easily sealed (with packaging tape) and then labeled accordingly (example: 9mm NATO, 5000 pieces). All of the brass that goes into this form of storage will be ready to be loaded.   Now, some of this is mainly for brass that I plan on reloading someday but have no use for currently. I guess to a certain extent I just wanted to create an interesting project to go along with reloading/storage. Of course I already have some of the cheap $.79 containers from target that I use for sorting/processing, but they spill when you drop them and the lid pops off. That's why I am considering something a bit more robust and flexible.   I could skip the process of bagging the brass for storage if the consensus is that the possibility of the cardboard absorbing moisture and then tarnishing the brass long term is not an issue. Here I am talking about possibly years worth of storage until I buy a firearm of that caliber.   (as a sidenote, if the "JUNK NOBODY USES" label insults you because you may use a caliber that is not on my sheet, please understand that I created that label because of people like you that use .32 S&W L or something like that. Yes, I will pick your brass up at the range, decap it, and then store/sell it, but I just cannot bring myself to throw it away. Thus, I needed a label.)   (as a sidenote II, "SCRAP BRASS" is primarily .22lr and then casings that are damaged. I don't yet know whether it will actually even be worth the time, but currently I am taking any brass casings that I nor anyone else can reload and sticking them in here. Theoretically someday I will take them to be scrapped. Research shows it should bring $.80+ a pound. So if I save up 50lbs of it, I could get $40 for it. Guess I prefer this to just trashing it since it takes equal amount of time to place it in the "SCRAP BRASS" container as it is to trash it.)   So, what are your thoughts and ideas?    

  I would think so, but how would you propose to go about legally videotaping someone on their own property without trespassing? If they are not visible from public areas, I think it would almost be a wash.

  Talk to Voldmort...if he can even still own a gun or carry one. I'm sure he'd love to give it a try!

  Well that is dissapointing.

Great! Might I add, SOG was great for me a month ago. I had an old knife I didn't use. The pocket clip had literally bent part of the knife handle. I sent it to them via whatever shipping method I wanted. Two weeks later I had a new knife.   They even honored my request of replacing the serrated blade with a plain edge.   Now, Benchmade is an American made company, but I was every bit as happy that SOG honored their "warranty" for such an old knife.

Kindle Vigor...   Or at least that's what I'm calling it. I have finally put my thoughts on paper (well, digital paper) of what I would like to see from Amazon in the form of a Kindle.   http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle/ref=cm_cd_et_up_redir?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1D7SY3BVSESG&cdPage=1&cdThread=Tx3O4L20LH2AASA&newContentID=Mx39N0EABH1GUIA#Mx39N0EABH1GUIA   I'd just like to see something like this or better manufactured. Was hoping for some input/support from others that would like to see a durable Kindle added to the mix.   Feel free to chime in!

  Yeah, I've been thinking about this one all day. There are quite a few different videos of some guy holding a camera to record "something". The chances of people randomly sticking cameras that direction at the right time starting and starting the recording before it happened?   Slim   What I figured happened was shelling/rockets (as reported by some) were going on. Loud noises in that direction were being heard so many pulled out their phones in hopes of catching something. They got more than they hoped for when one of the shells/rockets hit that plant. Just my take on it. Maybe there are more facts that suggest something else.

Does anyone else recall a week or two ago about the story of the Russian spies that were found "manipulating and possibly attempting to crash the American economy"?   http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21641284-how-fbi-claims-have-caught-putins-spooks-new-york-unearthing-moscows-moles   EDIT: Just going by what I heard off the radio when the story "broke".

As if it were actually a dropped cigarette anyone would be around to tell us about it?

This is as close as I could find: https://lightontruth.wordpress.com/2015/02/09/obama-fed-reserve-backing-ex-jpmorgan-executive-start-a-new-digital-currency-in-america/ https://www.circle.com/en Circle, from what I can tell, is just another Bitcoin trading system. OR https://www.stellar.org/ That may be what you are talking about.

Ok, so I don't know what it was, but it does appear believable as candle tanterns to me. I think it was last year I walked outside just at dusk and saw these very bright lights in the sky. They were moving very, very quickly at a very high altitutde. They were also They were moving and swaying in their path, appearing as if they could had a mind of their own. I jumped in the car and followed them to their source, sure enough, they were the candle lanterns. Candle lanterns can last a very long time and at night be seen for many, many miles.

P-01 or PCR (both 75 based) are great for carry. I carried the P-01 for over a year as my first carry gun before I chickened out and went Glock-side on everyone. I still miss that firearm. It was very, very nice. I still think that the CZ-75 is the best looking and nicest 9mm handgun on the market. That being said, I like Glocks for the following reasons: Ease of parts replacement Parts availibility Accessories/Holsters availibility Cost Weight Magazine design/capacity/availibilty/cost That being said, the CZ's are typically just as realiable (truthfully, my CZ P-01 never malfuncitoned, not once. I have had several different Glocks give me an issue here or there. I consider them equal in reliablity. I used to always like the 92fs. I owned one and then decided to sell it and buy the P-01 for carry. It was great. Sold it for the Glock 19. That being said, I have never missed a firearm as much as the P-01. I still get butterflies in my stomach when thinking about the CZ-75 stainless limited: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/02/elijah-savage/gun-review-cz-75b-limited-edition/ Personally, I like the decocker models although you can carry the safety models with the hammer down. It's the part about letting the hammer down on a loaded chamber that made me appreciate and go with the decocker model. Buy one. If you don't like it, I'll give you 75% of your cashback for it;)

      Were you trying to sell German guns again? :rofl:

So...one group of people are deadset on saying that we never went to the moon...and there is another that is deadset on saying that not only did we go to the moon but that we also have people living on the moon and mars and use teleportation technology to get there.   http://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/   :screwy:        

See, I used to have would told you that Google Now Launcher was the way to go. Yesterday I was convinced by a buddy to seriously give Nova Launcher a try. I liked it so much I bought the Pro version for $4.00. I also just rooted and flash CM12 nightly. Figured it is always a few CLI commands to go back 100% stock if I so desire. Just now booting up the device. WooHoo!

Just an update asking if anyone is running any of the CM 12 nightlies (particularly on a Nexus 5). I'm so close to installing it today but want to avoid any trouble if there is something to know of.

  :yuck: 100 TIMES!?!?   I thought just once looked like it would hurt, but 100 times? :rofl:

Right now, yes. If you want I can try and get you and the author in touch. He of course has a few paper copies on hand. PM me if you want one.

So, a buddy of mine has been writing for a number of years now. He recently decided to start selling one of his books on Amazon to see how it goes. I told him that I would try and help him promote it a bit. It may catch some of your interest since he is a local writer and this story takes place in the surrounding area. http://www.bradleycannon.com/ Links to the Amazon E-Book and Physical Book

  Bbbbbbuuuuuuttttt....the powder WAS black.

Well I could. But I have the 50mm 1.4 that I am keeping as well as the 430 EX II external flash. I like Canon so I figure I will just stay with them unless someone can prove to me that it would be beneficial to switch to Nixon.

  I may look into it. Upgrading to the 6D or better? Something I really want to research is whether the "bottom of the line full-frame" is worth it? I'm assuming yes, but that's a lot of money to spend. I just hope quality is there.

  1D $6,799 5D $3,099 6D $1,799   I think that's a good place to start.

  What he is really trying to say is that someone driving a maroon Chevy truck with a TGO on the back window made him very irrate and now he is trying to figure out who it was.   :waiting:
