Bummer - I have had the exact opposite experience with my Classic Bay 1200 Pellet Stove Insert which I bought in 2002 and is still going strong 22 years later. Of course everything needs maintenance and as expected I have replaced the igniter, fan & auger motors at least once. ...and I still can...
Congratulations on reaching 83 years old! I've been into reloading since about 16 years old & still going strong over 4 decades later.
Nice looking set of manuals ... matches mine as well!
No plans on selling mine but will probably pass mine down to the son-in-law or grand-kids when it's time.
It's a great decision!!
Saw a Meme... What I found amazing is that all the bump stocks that were lost in boating accidents back in 2017 miraculously washed on shore after the decision ....:unsure:
Personally do not have one but it would be fun to play with.
Same here ... I prefer having one from the original mfg's therefore opted for the Colt even though I own other brands as well. Carried my Colt 1911 for about 10 years before sending it off to Wilson Combat for a list of extensive work I wanted done. Carried it for another 20+years and still own...
Personally I would opt for the Colt. I have shot and carried a Colt 1911 for 30+ years and have never regretted one bit having owned it.
Nothing wrong with the Springfield - Don't own one but have seen them in the stores & they look nice.
Guy - I came to the same conclusion as your friend concerning Nosler Partitions ... I had too many hits result in core separation & switched to Ballistic Tips first then settled on Nosler's Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip's & never looked back.
Guess I'm late to the party ... just read this & Alliant Reloader 26 is out of stock .... :(
On the bright side I just saved between $69.99 - $421.99 😐
I feel the same way ... hopefully the rechargeable battery will be replaceable in the LabRadar ... right now the Garmin offers an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery that is non-replaceable. Maybe a newer version will offer one that is user replaceable.
I tend to keep my equipment for a...
Like others I have never had a problem nor heard others that have had problems with Shilen barrels... I had a platform built off of a Remington long action many years ago where I used a Shilen match barrel, either a heavy varmint or a heavy bull, can't recall right now, and could not have been...
I'd like to hear how it performs for you when you get it & would like to hear about it's long term battery performance.
I still have a Shooting Chrony Gamma Master with Printer that does everything I need it to do ... It won't turn any heads or get me any cool points; just works as it should. I...
Looks like you have a winning load!
I also have a 30 Nosler but have not used Retumbo because in my readings/research I have seen that some have had pressure spikes that vary with temperature ... have you experienced this at all?
Thanks.
I'm glad you posted the update ... I thought I was the only one who refuses to do business with Optics Planet after they pulled that stunt on me as well.
I agree ... I remember when Dicks got on the woke bandwagon & decided to stop selling guns .... I have not been in their store since & refuse to give them one cent!
