    To the tick turds that keep hoarding the .22 lr stores, I will be laughing hard

    My guess would be when you have more of something than the OP has. Typical America anymore, you decided to trade your currency for ammo when it was two or three cents a round, (by the way that was 2009), instead of running down to get the latest 79 3/4 inch plasma TV, or a brand new...

    Dillon Square Deal or 550B

    I'll hang with the original question, I have both (the 550 and an SDB) and it seems like a simple one for me. If you want to change very seldom, buy the SDB, and load like a bandit on it. My SDB was purchased with a set of 45 dies, and a swap kit for 9mm, and I do 45 on my 550, so I set it...

    This gave me a laugh this morning.... Dad's old manual.

    The under 150 grain 308 recipes, I think there were only a few powder's back then, but that's perfect. And the 223 data for 55 grains, I had a copy from an old school (i think) sierra book, but lost it. Thanks sean

    Looking for a close<->mid range .308 stuck between 2 rifles.

    I'm not sure which I would get........ Given that extremely biased view above, I would say if you want to shoot irons, get your self an M1A and a sling and learn to shoot irons, I am vehemently opposed to glass on an M1A, and that is my personal opinion, so for those of you that do...

    Suggestions on load 77 Berger tactical in 18" barrel?

    These are all LC or mil equivalent brass loads, and they will all work. 24.8 or 2520 24.1 of rl-15 22.5 of wc844/h335 23.0 of wc846 24.5 of Varget Those are loads I run, and they were all worked up to, and are run in normal mil-spec or commercial barrels, and any will run at 600 with a...

    Oh How it's changed

    I personally miss Nate Haler. A wordsmith, to say the least, and through numerous email and phone conversations I found my way, as twisted to some as it may be. I joined this site for one reason only, to buy my first long range gun, and some may remember the controversy that was started...

    ?? Tips or Tricks to Processing 308 brass on a Dillon Super 1050??

    There's nothing special to any of it, I generally just sort my brass by headstamp, (all I ended up with in the last batch was SBS and LC) and run them. Hell with processing, mine go from the drmo box to tumbler, to spinner, to cookie sheet with some spray, and in the blue bin on top. When it...

    Boston Marathon Explosion

    Unfortunately, if you pick on one you kinda should pick on all. FNC and MSNBC just serve to keep people from thinking on their own, in my opinion. People generally want their worldview to be correct, and it seems to me lately folks get inside the right or left wing echo chamber and let their...

    LA coughs up $4,240,000 to Settle SWAT Clusterf**k in Dorner Fiasco

    No matter how badly you fuck up, no matter what the injury to innocents, property, or image of the LAPD, any misdeeds can be corrected by a liberal bucket load of taxpayer cash. Like TARP, the more you fuck up, the more the taxpayers at large can be stolen from. I guess the LAPD is now just...

    Is Boston using a polite term for civilian sort of Martial law?

    Did they bring the military into Boston at some point?? I thought that the FBI was involved, along with a myriad of agencies and officers that get paid to do the job they signed up to do. If I ask for an extra cookie every time I show up and do my job correctly, make a profit, and don't...

    Any gold/silver/precious metal portfolio experts around?

    Sorry if you thought it was directed at you. You were somewhat quoting that head cheesedick over at the Fed, and that motherfucker has my venom. You, none whatsoever. The 22 ammo is somewhat of an anomaly, but last time I looked, every Discount tire store in town had themselves a...

    Any gold/silver/precious metal portfolio experts around?

    That's the funniest shit I've ever read. Buy a set of tires lately? Paid cash for a medical procedure? Bought any ammo lately, like maybe .22? Buy any bacon, eggs, milk, bread, dog food, fuel, thhn, fuel oil, (or fuel of any kind for that matter) hell I don't know, do you even shop...

    Range Report Anyone shooting the 75 Amax TO 1000?

    I get mine to 2910 from a 22'' bolt gun with a Rock barrel, and on a highpower target, (not F-class), I can generally stay in the high end of the 190's at 1K. That is with a scope, so it really isn't fair, but it's just a screw around and shoot something at a thousand, nobody even reports...

    Blue Angels Shot Down, Fleet Week Sunk sequestration budget cuts torpedoed

    To the trained reader, (of course that talent is waning in America), the slightest hint of sarcasm was detected. At least they rolled 'spring eggs' at the white house, maybe that was the choice? Eggs or shiny blue F-18's. The way this shit is going, I'm more into green eggs and ham than...
