    Well, looks like I need another refresher in English grammar.

    Flying with Rifle and ammunition

    Last couple of times I flew, I had to have ammunition in a separate container, but firearm and ammo could be together. Each airline, unfortunately has their own peculiarities, unfortunately. Here is a link to Southwest's current ammunition policy...

    Do you wear latex gloves while reloading?

    I once met someone who got got poisoned by working around jets. POL soaked rags, hydraulic fluid, brakes, you name it. But it was the liquids on skin which apparently had the biggest impact; got absorbed through the skin. That's what gave me pause about the solvents.

    Any plans for a new rifle in 2025?

    It gets better. The LGS lost his new rifle after it came in to the store. Took them 2 days to magically find it after he called them. I suspect someone accidentally put it out on display and it took them that long to figure it out. Well, at least he has it. Now to see if we can both get...

    Do you wear latex gloves while reloading?

    Only if I don't want to leave prints. Ahem. I mean, er... no, I don't. To be honest, I would be much more worried about solvents which by their nature are designed to penetrate.

    Setting Up a Safe and Effective Home Target Practice Area?

    The absolute first question to ask is: Is this legal where I reside? For example, I live in an unincorporated township, so county law and rules apply. There is no restriction on shooting in your backyard, as long as your bullets stay on your property (or you have understanding neighbors)...

    Need a dedicated deer blind rifle - Update

    First, congratulations on having a crop of youngsters who enjoy the outdoors. As has been pointed out, either will work very well, thought the 6.5 will probably produce just a bit more recoil with the heavier load. In trying to read your post carefully, am I correct in expecting that this will...

    Any plans for a new rifle in 2025?

    Yeah, yeah, yuk it up. It's kind of a funny story. Brother and I are going bear hunting in a couple of weeks and so the Good Idea Fairy landed on me and I messaged him suggesting we both bring the same rifle, int he same chambering, using the same ammo, so if one of our rifles goes down, we...

    Lentil Soup And Grilled Cheese

    Heh - most people think this is a reloading forum; the real secret is it's all about the food! Love this!

    Down 65 lbs. goal reached

    I have done this before, and it was very effective. Thank you for mentioning water - you NEED to remain fully hydrated and if you are eating increased protein, you need the additional water for digestion. Congratulations! You've done very well, and I encourage you to keep it up.

    Polymer Sig Handguns?

    I got out before we switched to the 17/18(320), so I have no real-world experience. My opinion is that they look incredibly ugly, but I don't think that answers your question. I also like to avoid dropping guns, but have done so on many occasions both at work, and concealed carry, an you are...

    First Ever Bear (Contains Some Graphic Content)

    Thanks! That was back in 22, but on of the things I don't mind is chewing over old stuff - in this forum, anyway. People here are by and large great, and I really mean that. I have not seen the 220HC for sale in quite some time, and I don't see them on Speers site, either, so I think it's a...

    LCRx Trigger Issue

    UPDATE - Okay, so I replaced the new ejector with the original ejector and that remedied the issue. The new part must have had some sort of bur or other deformity which prevented the pawl from properly engaging the surface of the ejector. It was a simple fix which taught me some things about...

    live primers

    Sorry, are you planning on recovering to use in another project? Because to me, the safest way if you are NOT, is to discharge them in a firearm pointed in a same direction. If you ARE, then I don't think oil would be advised. Of course, when I was a kid, we'd stick the case on the end of a...

    Trying really hard to sit on my hands.

    Ah, well, technically, you would not be buying "a" gun, but two guns; one in 30-06 and one in 338-06. ;)

    Need help with an experiment

    Do all dimes you weight weigh the same? Do you have a selection of different years? If you have a variety of dates and they all weigh the same, and the difference is all the same from the other scale, then the most likely answer is that the balance scale is providing an erroneous measurement...

    Need help with an experiment

    If you want to check a scale, please use a calibrated weight. You can get them from places like Grainger, and they are made for this purpose. I only harp on this because on this forum, we deal in things that go bang, and (hopefully not) boom.
