It's usually a pretty good show, especially when judged by other middle Tennessee gun shows.

It isn't on the lake by chance? :hat:

What caused the primer to ignite if not the firing pin?

Rightwinger is correct. 20 minutes tops. I live just west of Lafayette, and con be at Hoganaese in about 30 minutes. (I drive through Westmoreland to get to Gallatin.) Be careful there! There have been several incidents resulting in injuries or deaths recently at that plant.

They make affordable yet quality shotgun shells. I didn't realize they were made in Tennessee until another fellow pointed it out to me. I thought they came from Spain.

If WalMart has it in stock, the 130 grain Remington 38 special is an economical and accurate load to shoot. For 357 mag, I actually like the Magtech stuff if you have any local dealers who carry it.   Better yet, reload.

:rofl: I had that one coming!   Not sure about real estate prices there, but the Cottontown area would be a good place to look as well in my opinion.

Sounds like a great choice for a first handgun. As others have said, 38 specials make for fun, inexpensive target plinking, while full power 357 rounds really feel powerful when you touch one off.

Castallian Springs or Bethpage would be great. Sorry Rightwinger, but I'd rather be in hell with a broke back than Westmoreland or Portland. Hartsville will afford you with access tot he river, as well as a lot of home for the dollar, but man, it's a weird place.

I've never done any long range shooting. About 400 yards is it for me. It looks like it would be interesting.

Maybe I missed it, but what is he shooting at? For all I know, it could be a sheet of steel the size of a car hood. Once a fella got his wind drift and bullet drop situated, I don't see any reason why he couldn't hit a reasonably sized target at a long distance with a good rifle.

Who says a 30-30 can't be an accurate rifle? I beg to differ.

My wife would probably like that. For my part, I'm more interested in the brass. Gold is too soft.

Yeah, I've seen those. Pretty neat.   In my yard, however, it would be full of chert rocks and walnuts.

I'd like one that'll work with brass.

You sound like one of those Dave Ramsey "beans and rice" sort of folks.

Babies have no respect! You spend that kind of dough for diapers, and they'll just poop and pee in them. :wall:

I used the brass in a pan of water method for annealing these old 303 Savage cases today. After doing so, I still lost 16 cases out of 98 to splits in the neck while sizing.   Each one that failed suffered a longitudinal crack in the neck, or neck/shoulder area. None extended all the way to the mouth of the case.   Does brass just get brittle with age? I don't know the history of this lot of brass, but to the eye, it appears to be in good condition. There's no ring around the case head like I'm accustomed to seeing with rifle brass near the end of it's life.

Oh, I've sold some I didn't like after I got them, but they've usually been replaced with two or three of something else in short order.

There's four of us, including a teenage boy, and another about to be teenage boy. I'd wager my grocery bill is more than the average house payment.

Buy the pin with the clip already installed.   Ask me how I know. :rofl:

I shot it this afternoon. The rifle is good to go. The promag magazine I got with it is junque, I still believe I prefer the regular sks or the AK47 over the AK-M.

I do not understand the concept of getting rid of guns.
