  1. Nope, not even if it was free. I maintain a low profile.
  2. The primer will fire - water and Tide won't hurt it. The powder may not burn if it's wet. I'd pitch it.
  3. Nope! Welcome! Hope you stick around for 30 + 50.
  4. The odds of survival for everyone is zero. Nobody's going to survive the last 30 years of their life.
  5. I wish the government would stop helping me so much - I can't afford all the help. Health insurance is one of the biggest scams going. I didn't have any health insurance until I got my first job at age 23. It's a miracle I survived 23 years without it.
  6. We won't have any trick-or-treaters so, if we dress up, it'll be only to amuse the dogs. Or we could dress up the dogs to amuse us. I'm leaning towards the latter. I'm very tempted by a set of costumes I saw in a catalog - Darth Vader (for the Brittany) and Princess Leia (for the Jack Russell).
  7. 12 gauge slugs in the prone position when I was having the bent barrel on my Ithaca pump straightened. Those suckers moved me backwards in the dirt.
  8. I have NO complaints about my RCBS equipment. It's done everything I've wanted it to do for the last 25 years or so.
  9. My Speer manual doesn't have a load for a 250 gr SWC in 45 ACP. It does have a load for that bullet in .45 Auto Rim though, but not using AA5.
  10. A sewing machine repairman would probably buy a 30 year old all-metal machine.
  11. I started reloading when I got a Swede and nearly had a coronary at the price of ammo, then available only from Norma. Reloading is an end in itself - you can't justify it from a cost basis, but it's fun, you can re-create expensive and hard-to-find ammo, and you can lie to yourself that you're only paying 25 cents a round for those .222 mags. When you're done reloading, if ever, you can sell the equipment and recoup most of your cost. It's a trivial investment when you consider that you'll be using the equipment for decades. i bought my Rockchucker press in 1982 and I'm still using it. If your cousin wants his son to shoot deer with that rifle, he should put the money into reloading equipment instead of into a couple of boxes of ammo. Just my humble opinion. ps - I wouldn't shoot someone else's reloads in a borrowed rifle, let alone my rifle.
  12. 95% of the time, S&W 638, Remington +P 158gr SWCHP. Load picked for penetration and expansion. The other 5% - SIG 239, .40 Remington Golden Sabres or a S&W M65 3" .357 with Federal 125gr HP's. Loads picked for the same reason. No pics available.

    ENFIELD rifles? . . . never heard of 'em.
  14. If the kiln manufacturer recommends a 20 amp breaker, that's telling you that your kiln draws over 15 amps and you need a 20 amp circuit, at least, to run it. I'd have a new, separate circuit installed with 12 gauge wire and a 20 amp breaker. The voltage drop you're seeing is from trying to draw more current from the circuit than it's capable of providing at 120 volts. You shouldn't see more than a 2% drop under load. The wire size used in the circuit dictates how big the breaker should be. A 12 gauge circuit can safely have no larger than a 20 amp breaker installed. Circuit breakers keep your house from burning down. Don't EVER install a bigger breaker in place of a smaller one.
  15. I'm where I want to be. After retirement my wife and I travelled a lot and we picked east Tennessee. Arizona came in second.
  16. They are comfortable.
  17. Has he considered reloading?
  18. "Ah gots to know!"
  19. Cabela's Serengeti Safari shirts make great cover garments and you can get them in short sleeves for fall and spring.
  20. Howdy from Athens, and welcome!
  21. He wants to install both XP and Ubuntu on the same drive. I'm sure he'd like to have some room left for applications, files and swap space.
  22. That one's dead!!
  23. Get the biggest drive you can afford. I've had Seagate, Western Digital and Maxtor drives and I prefer the Maxtor. I've had early failures with Seagate & WD. YMMV.

    Which one?

    Personally, I'd go with the Marlin.
  25. Isn't the Spartan a Baikal?
