    ADG vs Petersen Brass

    I don't remember seeing ADG seconds . they have polished and not polished . Peterson does sell cosmetic seconds fairly cheap . not sure if you can get them in Canada though . my Peterson seconds came in a bag , not in a nice plastic ammo box, like first quality are packed .

    Mini Kaboom

    wow , had to of touched both battery terminals . this could have been bad , happy to hear everyone's OK . brings to mind the Remington Etronx system . this is a good reminder to never store powder in a heavy duty , sealed , type of locker . for safety it needs a weak burst panel...
