  1. See if I can get there and check them out. Checking map search they are 33.5 miles 42 minutes away. McIvor gun range at Sardis, MS is 45.9 miles, 47 miles away. Can shoot lead bullets.
  2. I change mine in the driveway using a floor jack. Frame changed the long filter to a short one, AC filter is short and a few dollars cheaper. Checked ratings it's the same as Frame. I get my oil at the auction house, usually $3 to $4 per quart might get a gallon for $15, 5 qt jug for $20. Last time in walmart a 5 qt jug was $30. Get the oil drain pan at Dollar Tree. If it gets trashed you're out $1.25. I use them as large flowerpot saucers. I use their fuel treatment, 2 bottles per tank every 4 to 6 months.

    The honey Stroopwafels are good the coffee leaves an after taste and heartburn like No-Doz. I was first at West clinic, finished sign in and called back for lab work. Return to waiting room and down with my son. Barely got my big A in the chair and called back to start Petz scan. Total time about 2 hours. Stopped for a breakfast biscuit before 10 am then headed to BPS to meet The Legend for a FTF deal.
  4. Double that price range and add more depending on the oil and filter used. Most places want to add an alignment or balance to tire rotation. Double or triple that price range. Some places have coupons that will save you a bit.
  5. Met The Legend today after Petz scan for a face to face deal. Now I'm ready to load a lot of 303 Britt brass to 410 brass.

    My youngest son will drive me to the midtown clinic Monday morning. Plan to meet The Legend at BPS east Memphis at 10 am. May try to shop at Ollies before leaving that section of Memphis. My wife is out of ginger honey crystals for her tea, searched 16 stores before finding it at India Farmers Market on Stateline Rd Southaven. Bought her a tin of Earls grey tea at Home Goods in Olive Branch, first time seeing one. Every store I searched at I looked for Stroopwafels, bought all they had. All I've seen has caramel filling, found some with coffee and honey filling for a change.

    Auction

    I watch an auction from Senatobia, MS on zoom instead of traveling in the dark. They do a live and zoom auction on Friday nights. May have one during the week. May travel to other auction houses and bring items back to their place for local pick up. They have a 10% buyers fee plus 7% tax. Both Thursday and Friday they had CCI Blazer brass 115 gr FMJ 9mm, sold for $25 per box. Buy a carton of 12 for $20 per box. I checked online at Sportsman's Warehouse and found them at $12.99 per box. Aguilla 22 LR 38 gr lead $6 per box, Hollow point 40 gr lead $6 per box, Subsonic 40 gr $8 per box. Checked again at SW, $3.99 and $4.99 per box. They don't have a license to sell firearm so the raffle them at $5 per ticket or 5 tickets for $20. Last night they had a 380, 22 LR rifle and 12 ga pump shotgun in black or stainless. The 380 and both shotguns were picked by online members. I bought the 5 for $20 deal, only money I spent.

  8. We were camped at Pickwick, below the dam. A couple pulled in with a teardrop, pulled a large bag from the truck then parked in the extra zone. Sat up a 12X20 portable carport then backed the camper under it. Added enclosers after sitting things up. They had taken the large outdoor rug or 2 and cut to fit around the camper, covering both doors and rear in a squared U shape. A large shower hut was placed at the tongue for clothes changing and potty room. Rain came through the next morning, they were able to do most things without getting wet. Teardrops are small, open the door and slide into the bed leaving shoes outside the door. Made for up to 2 people. Tires, They don't get used a lot on campers for the most part. A week or 2 before a trip I'd air up the tires, put a tiny mark on the tires or rims, jack it up and rotate each tire a quarter turn. Let them sit 24 to 48 hours on the new bottoms then rotate another quarter turn. Check air in tires before hatching. If they sit to long a flat spot forms on the bottom. Hatch up and leave the tires flops for miles until they balance out. If high speeds are reached soon the flop can cause a blowout. My parking spot at home had the door facing east. Tires got morning sun on one side and afternoon sun on the other. Weather cracks form faster on non used tires. At first I started getting blowout when tires were a bit over 4 years old. After first blowout all tires were replaced. Then I started replacing all 5 at 4 years, no blowouts after that. My truck has 17" wheels the trailer came with 13" wheels. I bought 15" wheels the second replacement. Couldn't find a wheel lock to fit after that, made my own.
  9. Got the hulls sorted by color, brass and aluminum bases. Lot of brands I've never heard of, mostly all 7 1/2 and 8 size shot, field loads. Light rain started as I finished. From another state's gun owners forum I found a new to me supply website that I posted in Where do you buy your reloading supplies?
  10. A new to me website popped up on another forum. CDVS.US Combat Disabled Veteran's Surplus. Magtech large pistol primers is what I was looking at. $280.70 per sleeve after shipping and hazmat added. I'd like to know their dimensions before ordering.
  11. Welcome from Horn Lake, MS
  12. Welcome from Horn Lake, MS. I'm on a few state forums under different names. Just to see how others reload.
  13. I'll sort by color then look at brands today. See if I can return Saturday.

    West clinic did a blood test Monday and a reply yesterday, all looks good. Got a call yesterday. West clinic midtown Memphis Monday 7:30 am for Petz scan. Haven't heard from a gastro doctor yet. West clinic Southaven doctor wants test results Tuesday. My oldest son has had back problems for a few years. He spent last night at the hospital with numb legs. Will meet with doctors next few days to see what needs to be done. He's my ride to most doctor/clinic visits and my fishing/kayaking/shooting partner.
  15. West clinic visit set for Monday 4/28 7:30 am. Don't know how long I'll be there. All my kids are tied up with work or something else. Looks like I'll be traveling alone. PM sent.
  16. On 4/15 the West Clinic Southaven doctor ordered a Petz scan to have results by 4/29. It will be done at the downtown clinic on Union Ave. I haven't got a call about it yet. Now when will it be? This will be the closest I'll be to you within 3 months.
  17. Wished I had carried more than 2 buckets or trash bags to the skeet range. 6 40 gallon trashcans almost full. Got mostly 12 ga and a few 20 ga hulls in plastic bushel boxes in the garage to keep dry, maybe dry some out a bit more. I'll sort them in a few days to a week. I may return on Saturday a little earlier for more since no one was there at 4 pm.

    With the sore belly I missed shopping Friday. Yesterday I felt a bit better and limited my shopping to 1 Kroger near me. Last week they had Claussen pickles on digital coupon. All they had were sliced, spears and Cajun spears. We like the baby and whole pickles, cut them as we wish when needed. The display yesterday wasn't any better for the Claussen products. I talked with the meat section manager, He checked inventory with his phone. Showed to have 15 to 19 jars of each, none could be found. He cleared the inventory and ordered more. Wish I could find Christian Brothers pickles. One restaurant had them and I'd buy extras when we ate there. Add them to dill pickle juice at home. Claussen sauerkraut was on clearance $1.75 instead of $4.99. We've had other canned brands but not as good as this. Not as good as grandma and oldest aunt made. I cooked it with different sausages and dogs. Had hamburgers in gravy too. Can't read exp date on jar, stop by for more later I found 3 ticks on my left arm Thursday night. It started itching, then the light was turned on to see them. Washed with alcohol and picked off. Still inching, more alcohol washings. Will call West in the morning. Got veggie seeds planted in the raised bed and flower seeds in the AC bed. Picked up twigs and limbs for the fire pit. Sat at the pit until 10:30 pm.
  19. Finished last night. Got 190 303 Britt brass ready to fire form. Still looking for a cheap 410 shotgun. Guess I'll order the Charles Daily 101 for $120 at Sportsman's Warehouse. Be my luck, order the gun then find one cheaper. I looked at a few Utube videos for reloading hulls without a press. No crimp, paper over card glued in place instead. Will look at more. I forgot today is Easter Sunday and the skeet range most likely will be closed. See if I can find the email and give them a call after lunch. Need to pick up hulls today, overnight rain is in the forecast.
  20. Wonder if it was Tennessee Ammo company? Their reloads could be found everywhere in the Memphis area years ago. Would see less of their products in other areas. They didn't have very good inspection of casings before loading. At one indoor range I returned 21 badly cracked 38spl casings from 3 boxes, my coworker returned 19. A few needed the primer struck a second time to fire. Alabama Ammo company was big in the Nashville area years ago too. Dad bought some from The Reloader's Bench, have never seen it in Memphis. I've seen ammo from another company from Georgia. Some gun show vendors are as bad as flea market vendors. They buy to resale and can't remember where the products came from.
  21. I ran out of grits last night, thought I bought a new bag the other day, can't find. I used Malt O meal instead. It doesn't pack down like the grits. Pretty much the level filled in a case is it's limit of packing. Makes finished rounds faster. Got 40 rounds to go. At an auction a vendor had Malt O Meal and I bought a case. I was given a case because the glued seals on the boxes weren't tight. We've ate all the good boxes, looking for more, they are hard to find. Have 7 of the bad boxes left. It's good for a soft scrub along with salt on enamel cookware too. Going to a local skeet range Sunday afternoon to pick up hulls. Hope to find some 410's in good shape. Ask about fire forming the brass at a later date.
  22. "The OP has not been back since this post." And only his first post.
  23. We use to buy a few reloading supplies from the Summer Ave store until the Southaven store opened. It's been closed for years. Thinking, the last time at the Summer location was about March '24 before my health issues gave me extra problems. Their inventory was small then.

    Headed to have infusion pump removed yesterday I saw a water puddle in the front yard. Looked closer, its water coming from the sewer service cap. Figure it's a tree roots that's blocking the pipe. A stop at Home Depot for a sewer auger rental. No help at home getting it from the truck so I worked it as well as I could from the bed. It broke through 2 root balls in 55 feet. best rental if you can work it. $100 on my card, got 33 cents on the return. Wonder what a plumber would have charged. I raked and bagged two 55 gallon trash bags of limbs, twigs and leaves from around the 2 trees. Planned to mow the front yard but got busy gardening in the back. Removed bed straw from a 3X20 raised bed, turned soil over with a shovel and added 12 buckets of kitchen waste/leaf compost, manure and cotton hull dirt to the bed. It was late so I went inside to cook dinner. My belly is super sore today. Yep, I should have stopped working after messing with the auger.
  25. Aged? How were they packed when bought? Have bought 38spl reloads that weren't stored in a good place. Ammo was standing bullets up and looked good. Weird smell when shot and lots of cracked casings. Figured powder had gone bad and ate the insides of casings. Some casings broke while pulling bullets.
