  • Posted in thread: Marlin model 60 love or hate on 02/04/2012 at 11:15AM
    I like my Model 60SB - but I have other .22 rifles I like more.

  • Posted in thread: All About Hi-Point Firearms on 01/29/2012 at 8:52AM
    Yep, beats spending hours of Google-fu! I have one Hi-Point - the M995 Carbine, and really like it.Thanks
    for the info - added it to my Favorites list. :cool:

  • Posted in thread: noob question on 01/19/2012 at 5:39AM
    My opinion is to NEVER try to ammortise the cost of the gear into your ammo costs. Once you add another
    caliber or three, it gets skewed off. Just call it an upfront equipment cost and leave it at tha...

  • Posted in thread: Reloading SKS? on 01/19/2012 at 5:32AM
    Far better, IMHO, to trade or sell the Berdan primers and get the boxer cases. I reload the Remington and
    Winchester commercial brass, and my SKS's like the 150 grain SP loads.

    We will miss those extra F-22 Raptors when the Chinese get bolder and start attacking our interests and
    allies.The F-35 is a boondoggle waiting to fail. Another Senate-approved committee-designed comp...

  • Posted in thread: What is the greatest LEO movies.. on 01/15/2012 at 12:11PM
    I rather liked "Electraglide in Blue" with Robert Blake (pre-Beretta).Billy Green Bush as his partner who
    goes bad.Sad ending though........ "Blue Thunder" with Roy Sheider was a fun romp. Think they ...

    The goobs just can't understand - forcing unproven and quirky 'High Tech' on people does NOT work. Let
    the market drive it, not LAWS.Reminds me of Gov. Jeb Bush and his much-vaunted "ASPIRE" Floridawi...

  • Posted in thread: 45 cal issue. on 01/15/2012 at 11:58AM
    Yep, reminds me of some .45ACP I bought from a reloader buddy years ago, before I began loading. He
    didn't trim the lead at the case mouth, and it was 'messy'. I had to trim the lead from it before it...

  • Posted in thread: Non-loader's Guide to Policing Brass? on 01/15/2012 at 11:55AM
    Cull the brass into two basic piles - look in the case to see if it has two small holes (NOT reloadable)
    or one larger hole (reloadable). Once you divvy out the calibers, you may have something a relo...

  • Posted in thread: Primer Pocket Cleaner on 01/15/2012 at 11:49AM
    I use both handheld pocket cleaners, and the Lyman Case Prep tool (a glorified cordless screwdriver with
    gun-specific bits). If doing a big lot of brass, the Lyman gets the job.There are a lot of pock...
