EMB145

He just said we sell that.. I told him I'm only picking up mine and he walked off... I'm not a brass thief.

It seems the past few times I've gone there, someone on the staff makes it a point to come and educate me on something..   I'm done with it.  First, I was picking up MY BRASS and was tapped on the shoulder and informed that the range sells that.... Ok.   Today, I'm tapped on the shoulder and told not to make head shots as they might hit the plastic that we pin the targets too..   Their range, their rules I understand, but I think I will not renew my membership.   I might be complaining over nothing, but it just crosses me in a funny way. They can keep all the college kids and weekend Rambos as their customer base.I will find a place and shoot elsewhere.   Just ranting....

I don't think its a hack, Neil agreed to do the bit, and Jimmy does a great impression of him in his younger years, I think its great.   Tomorrow I'm showing up to work singing a Marty Robbins song. Look for another post or catch me being on the morning news being beaten by co workers.

I knew it was old, but a guy at my work just showed it to me the other day... I was singing this song at 0500 when I walked in and needless to say they, (the over night crew) did not want to hear me, so he pulled it up on a computer and told me to shut up..... smart man he is  :D

I've never really been a Jimmy Fallon fan, but this video shows his talent. I've always been a Neil Young fan and this video is just greatness of Jimmy's talent and Neil's good nature of doing it with him. If I wasn't watching it on video, I would never guess it was not Neil himself.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6otmy3DAK8  

  I get what your saying, but I shoot my carry pistol minimum 200 rounds a week. The oil wont stay Iong as I clean after every range session. I trust my life to this thing and do baby it, but I also realize that it is just a tool. Not really trying to save money, but just trying to keep it simple as I use motor oil to lube the rams on my reloading presses. I will do more research, but if it works, it works. No need to buy expensive brand name products if I don't need too.

I have not done a lot of research yet, but I'm thinking of just using regular synthetic engine oil. Just a quick search shows guys doing it and also guys using ATF. A quart of that stuff will go along way and if it is designed to work in a combustion engine, It will more than sit through a 200-400 round range session.

Check out elitereloading.com. I've used them for 380 ACP brass. Reasonable prices and quick shipping as they are located in Kentucky. I admit, I've only ordered from them once in the past, but I will be doing buisness with them again.

I've had a AD before and not ashamed to admit it. Polish P-64 pistol. I had to replace a tile in my kitchen floor because of it. Luckily the round hit the floor instead of going through my leg. I'm not ashamed of it and will gladly talk about it because we are all human. If my mistake / stupidity can help someone from doing the same thing, then its a win situation. I learn from others everyday if it be firearms or what temp to bake salmon, I learn everyday. I'm an expert at nothing and freely admit it.

I am in no way associated with this company, but Montana Gold Bullets has a good deal going. I in the past picked up 4,500 95gr 380 FMJ bullets for $395.00 with free shipping. I just ordered 18,000 more.    I did not check other caliber prices, but I did not have any problems with their service and really did not find anything more economical out there if you factor in shipping.    Again I am in no way associated with them, but wanted to spread the word on their prices and customer service.

Law is law. Regardless of how stupid it is. I think that is the problem though as long as we "follow the books" we are at no fault as individuals and people use that excuse everyday to remove responsibility from themselves.   We as a society have lost all thought as individuals and therefore become part of the growing problem. You read about kids being suspended from school for well, being kids. Drawing guns on paper, making a gun shape with their hand and so on. Zero tolerance they call it.   The adults that support this "I can't think for myself" logic are to blame and unfortunately that number seems to rise everyday.    I have said it before and will say it again. I had a platoon sergeant tell me years ago,"The world is full of idiots and probably always will be". Not sure if he was talking to me, or about me.   Common sense and individual thinking is long gone.

I wrote my essay in Texas. He never responded back.

I take fired brass, run them through a sizing die, decap. Then I run them through a bulge buster on on single stage press., Clean, sort by head stamp and load them up.    I'm probably doing to much work, as I again run them through a sizing die to prime them. I bulge bust on a single stage and reload on a turret. I never have to change dies, so seating and overall length stay consistent as I never have to adjust my dies.    Like Musicman said. Make small batches. When you find what works good for you and your gun. Leave it alone. Just crank out rounds, shoot, enjoy, repeat.

I have to say, I started reloading because of a S&W 500 magnum purchase. Then started reloading for my S&W 629. I have saved money in that part of it.   Now for the other part. I carry a Sig P238 and reload for it. I've made thousands of rounds and just saying the average box of 50 will be $15.00. I have saved money. Except for my shooting habits.  I shoot on average 200 rounds of 380 a week and sometimes up to 400 rounds. If I carry it, I want to train with it and fire it as much as I can.   Buying bullets in bulk and keeping a stock pile of primers, powder, I feel good about it. Again, I have not saved much,if anything, but I hit the range a whole lot more and my goal is to get the little Sig to be an extension of my hand. Nothing can do that but putting rounds down range. Reloading lets me afford to do that.

Juggling numbers to fit where they need them. No, no, you have to look at it from this side. If you look at it logically, it does not work for us.   Thank you Dane, I did not view it the way you did. Yes he can say it, but it is still BS and the sad part is, people will buy it.
