O you my friend have exquisite taste!
I can just hear your rifle now whispering to you, asking, does this scope make my telescoping butt look skinny or what! Hah! clearly I was wrong I said I thought it would look like a 55 gallon drum on top, nope more like a whiskey barrel! Hehehe
Looks like you have a thing for the 1911.
Do you inventory by the round or by the box? I just get more when I'm down to 4-5 boxes in a certain caliber.
As a reloader I typically no longer use boxs, instead I use stackable ammo cans. I put a duct tape label on the end with desc and count. Sonic subsonic fps recipe etc. For the most part I do pretty good at keeping up. In the case of 45-70 not so much! I get lazy there because I only shoot one version, one recipe!
Definately a thing for the model of 1911! I also have a thing for oddball cartridges, so I have a smattering of different ones like 6x45, 6.5 grendel, 50 beowulf, 38/40 wcf 32/20 wcf, 25/20 wcf, 5.7x28, 7.62x25, 350 legend, 38 super is one of my favs, as is the 10mm. one of my favorite carry guns is a North American Arms .32 acp! I don't know why but i really like it. I had a model 23 Glock with nite sites on it that was super accurate, but I traded it to a retired police officer in my town for a model 27. I dont like to carry or shoot that one at all. I reload for everything I shoot and then some that I don't even shoot anymore. I cast and powder coat all my bullets. I believe that I reload for approx. 40 different cartridges and have approx. 110 different bullet molds. It's an OBSESSION!
Well you reload out of necessity given your caliber fetish! Hah! Man you got an eclectic mix of hard to find ammo for sure. The 38 super is an oft overlooked caliber that is very accurate and just the right balance of weight speed and size. I compete with a 38/55 so reckon I can’t talk to much smack on ya! Not to stir up a pot of stuff but I am with you on the Glock thing. I have been Glock free for I think right at a year! Makes me quite unpopular in my circle! Plus side I provide plenty of material to the guys for heckling as a result. If I hear “don’t drop that thing or it will go off” one more time (Work gun is SIG) I will puke! Hah!
Sorry guys/gal wrong thread!
Whoops! looking good!!!
that is how wire strippers are created, but they tend to be wire gauge specific unless you are really careless.
I have red handled set of strippers that I think I was born with! I do like my Blue Point clamp style stripper. Push the wire in till it stops and squeeze. Makes romex and receptacles easy!that is how wire strippers are created, but they tend to be wire gauge specific unless you are really careless.
Been there done that.
I still have my red handled Klein's from Industrial Electronics tech school in 1985, and they still cut any wire and can strip 18, 14, and 12 ga.
You are hilarious SLO. My machinist friend kept track of a pound of powder and he said it came out perfect right down to the last grain.
Hah! 7000 grains equals a pound if you were curious!
she’s pretty John. I’m sure you will be on your A game as usual. My kids also are getting back into the season and warming up for it to start so they have been doing the same. Mounting their shotguns each night and heading out for a round on the weekend. They go back out again this weekend.
When I'm doing large lots of .223 or 45acp, I use the 100 count primer sleeves to break them into smaller lots if I have to as I empty them.
I use the little harbor freight cut off saw to make my 300 brass. I posted a picture of it and the jig I use a few pages back. Although yesterday I was scrounging for ammo box’s at Academy sports and found some 300blk in packages of 250 for sixty bucks. That is darn cheap and beats Midway. We all know how long it takes to make 250 rounds of 300blk. Took me about a heartbeat to purchase 250 of them. Best sixty bucks I have spent in a long time!
Could you post a picture of the 3D printed jig? I have a printer and would like to make one. It's a lot harder to get a suppressor here in the CommyWealth of Ma., I would not even bother, if I shoot subsonic ammo, it is pretty quiet anyhow.
It isn't here yet but this is the one I got.
That's a good price and definite time saver. I have a copy of the Giraurd trimmer that I made that makes short work of trimming, so with the saw and jig it shouldn't be too painful to blow through them. Keeps me out of the bars for a while too.
