I was debating with "young" Smith. He's still around

Well said David. I'm especially glad you made it outa there with your skin.

And, a defense for possessing a gun while drunk.

I just saw that. this horse was kilt long ago.

Are you saying that if I decide to tear into a bottle of whiskey at home, that I need to carry my safe to the neighbor's house first?

It's one of those good ones. I'm keepin' it.

I'll be getting some more if my old shoulder holds up. I have enough stuff to load 400 or so.

Bag-o-truth . David had a gazillion of them in a big bin. No fancy red box, but a real good price.

I got mine from David too. Haven't loaded any yet. Probably tomorrow. The charge ladder will be 37gr to 39gr of RL-7 BTW... I'll also be loading Lehigh 300gr brass bullets. I did TTSX, Rem 300gr, and Hornady 300gr on Sunday.

They'll just wash back up on the new shorline. They're all full of bubbles from colonic irrigation.

If we get to hook up on Friday, I'll load some good 'uns for you.

I was pushing 300 grain bullets between 1800 and 1900 fps on Sunday. That's a lot of smack. The 1900 loads got serious recoil. It was kicking harder than the 12ga buckshot we were shooting.

Yep. And, when you slap something, it stays down :-)

A buddy and me were well on the way to doing a counter top whiskey still until I found out there's no way to sell it legally. That's why i know so much about the process. Add prepackaged raw materials and water, and hit the button. A couple weeks later... spirits. All controlled by an 8051 microcontroller. Even had a code guy lined up. We would have made a fortune. Damn revenuers!

Yep. Already got a Magpul logo permanently stamped into my shoulder

Hornady 325 gr FTX. Fixin' to sling some.

There are some stupid, unfair laws that cater to special interests. Pot laws fall into that category. Not one documented death, which makes it safer than a Wendy's double cheeseburger. RIP Dave.

Yep.

There ARE skilled practitioners. Most of the horror stories didn't come from the folks in the mountains. They came from the days of prohibition. Folks adding wood alcohol, distilling in car radiators, etc. Everything I've tasted was well crafted stuff. It was just right out of the spigot without any aging. They still knew better than to use the wrong metals (like lead solder). It ain't rocket science. Make the mash, let it ferment, and cook it off. Same basic process the big boys use.

Still different. Watching the Billy Ray piece about the origin of moonshiners, I sided with the moonshiners. It was more in the spirit of the Tea party than trying to build an illegal industry.

Politics is about hiding the truth, not bringing it to light.

Ain't the same thing. Not even close.

Everybody needs the watch the documentary on the History Channel (I think) before they form a complete opinion about moonshiners. It's the one with Billy Ray. Yep, it's raw, unaged corn whiskey. i don't like it either. You also have the "charred" version, which kinda gets a few days of the aging process. I'm ok with apple pie, but it still has that moonshine whang.

Agree.
