I don't know that tannin is poisonous as much as nasty-tasting. I've never heard of poisonous acorns.

Fool me twice - shame on me. I got mine! Not a hoard, but enough to get by.

I've had zero primer problems with 2 gr of Bullseye, CCI small pistol primers in my .38 Special S&W Brazilian model. Sent from my MZ604 using Tapatalk

The bees are more wary this spring - it's like shooting doves. I have one kill out of 8 rounds so far but, man, did I splatter the one I got.

Be careful - BATFE Agent Smuckatelli reads this forum.

Sodium Hydroxide is not baking soda - it's lye. You really don't want to mix HCl and NaOH. I'm not a chemist, but I know that. You don't just get salt and water. You also get energy (heat). You get boiling salt water, steam, splashed acid and lye, chlorine gas. It's enough to seriously mess up your day.

I ALWAYS buy rifle ammo at Walmart -- .45 ACP rifle, .38 Special rifle, even .380 ACP rifle.

Accuracy is just a matter of sight adjustment. Precision is what puts all the bullets through one ragged hole, and is a function of the ammo, firearm and shooter.

I always take my AR on road trips (the only kind I take), cased & unloaded in the trunk plus several loaded 30 rd mags. You can't count on being at home when the SHTF.

Looks like a dremel tool and a dowel would make one in pretty short order.

A tactical bamboo back-scratcher and a jar of peppermints.

I checked my RCBS beam balance with check weights and found that it measured the 500 grain weight as 502 grains -- a .4% error at full scale. I trust it. When setting up the powder measure (for 5 grains, for example), I adjust it until it's pretty close to 5 grains per the balance, and then set the balance to weigh 10 charges (50 grains). I throw 10 consecutive charges into the pan, weigh it, and fine-adjust the powder measure so that it throws exactly 50 grains with 10 charges. Anal perhaps, but then I'm sure I'm throwing accurate charges.

Sen. Campfield, the SCHOLAR???? Whodathunkit?

Re-stamp it.

HF radio propagation wasn't that great BEFORE the CME.

From John Donelson's Journal (1780): "Proceeded on quietly until the 12th of April, at which time we came to the mouth of a little river running on the north side, by Moses Renfoe and his company called Red River, up which they intend to settle. Here they took leave of us. We proceeded up Cumberland, nothing happening material until the 23rd, when we reached the first settlement on north side of the river, one mile and a half below the Big Salt Lick and called Eaton's Station, after a man of that name, who with several other fami­lies, came through Kentucky and settled there." The TN historical marker for French Lick (Jefferson & 5th Avenue, Nashville) reads: ============== 3A 31 GREAT FRENCH LICK - In 1710, a French trader from New Orleans had a trading post near the salt and sulphur spring which attracted game of all kinds. His successor was Charles Charleville, who died here in 1780, aged 84. The spring was about 300 yards southwest; the trading post was on this spot.

Bring it!

In colonial times, salt was found at salt licks - natural outcroppings of salt which also attracted wild game, making a trip to the salt lick a good opportunity to hunt. Another source of salt was salt springs where salt could be obtained thru evaporation. Frontiersmen in western Pennsylvania and Virginia used to carry salt over the mountains to the coastal towns to trade for necessary items. Search an atlas or online for places near you with 'lick' or 'salt' in the place name and you'll probably find a source of salt. Sent from my MZ604 using Tapatalk

Don't know how to MAKE salt, but know how to grow salt crystals, from a super-saturated solution. Salt (NaCl) is one of the commonest minerals on earth - why would you want to make it?

I have nothing to suggest within your constraints, especially price.

As a reference point, my 30 year old, well-used RCBS press is still as tight as when it was new.

Welcome to the forums!

'Tain't so. I've been carrying for 11 years, have been to California, Michigan, WV, Florida, never was required to notify anyone of anything.

THAT will require the shedding of blood. Sent from my MZ604 using Tapatalk

My g-g-g-great grandfather immigrated to Virginia from Scotland in 1760 as an indentured servant. He worked for his master for 7 years to repay the cost of his passage. IIRC, The word 'slave' is derived from Slav. Sent from my MZ604 using Tapatalk
