GONE Deviating from this thread a bit as I am not willing to ship this ammo, but I felt my offering fit best in this pay it forward thread rather than starting a new thread. So, without further delay, I offer 50 rounds of 7.62x54R FTF in Franklin (just south of Nashville). PM if interested. TC

Age certainly helps red wine (as well as whites and blushes within reason). Back on topic, though. Stock what you eat; eat what you stock.   TC

Yep. They played college ball together at UGA.   TC

I have all the ecomics as well, but I'm holding off reading them so as not to spoil the tv series. :O   Yes, it's that good!   TC

Don't forget that raw sugar also counts toward the alcohol tax.   I did not mean to imply having a still near homebrew is a good idea; I was simply pointing out that fermenting any must (in my last post, the must happened to be corn mash) is legal. I cannot imagine corn wine would taste very good; so, good luck convincing the law that was your intention (I do confess to never having tried it though). I do not own a still; I do homebrew (primarily fruit wine) and stay under the legal gallon limit for my household.   I absolutely agree that, if someone is actively distilling, talking about it drastically increases their chances of being caught. That is really what surprises me most about the shiners in the show Moonshiners.   TC

If 30% of Americans are firearm owners, imagine if this had been an SHTF scenario where 100% of the populace was scrounging for food. As difficult as you think finding pmags, 5.56/.223, or .22lr is, just imagine looking for staple foods where over three times the people are out for the same things. Stock up now; prepare for the worst; rotate your stock; and live ready.   TC

To add to the completely correct statement here. Mash is completely legal just like homebrewing anything else. Distillation of the homebrew is where things get complicated (legally speaking).   TC

A little birdie told me that running around 180F is ideal. Nice little trickle.   I wish I did. The startup costs of a distillery are prohibitive to getting into the business. I have a passion for homebrewing but do not distill for legal reasons.   TC

Thanks for the reply, musicman.   I'm looking to reload 9mm mainly, but I also shoot .45 and .223/5.56. I have a little exposure to reloading; my wife's uncle showed me around his bench explaining the differences between single stage and progressive presses among other things. We talked for some time. Unfortunately, he lives in Arkansas, and we do not get over there often.   I am more than willing to read anything you recommend, but I would rather not purchase any equipment until I have a better understanding of the process. I'll track down the Lee book and be in touch over TGO messaging.   Thanks,   TC

I realize that I am new here and hope this isn't out of line, but I am looking for a reloader in middle TN that I can shadow to learn the craft. I offer my hands for your knowledge and patience. Anyone in the area want to take on an apprentice? I live in Franklin.   TC

  Absolutely agree! Homebrew is better than store bought. I have friends with tannin allergies, and they are able to drink homebrew wine.   Tom
