    Sidearms & Scatterguns Anybody have an estimate of the value of this sweet 16?

    I sold one in the early 90's for almost $2k. I had no idea what I was buying for $250 when I bought it, and no idea what it was actually worth. I know they made them off and on for probably a century or more, and some versions are significantly more valuable than others, but I have no idea...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Anybody have an estimate of the value of this sweet 16?

    My buddy has a browning sweet 16 that was left to him years ago. It's just sitting in his closet for years at a time and he's considering selling it. He's asked me what it may be worth. Anybody out there with their finger on that market? Thank you in advance.

    Kicking a mans dog in the south might get you

    Yeah, but the Beagle has an amazing sense of smell. That's how those geniuses were able to find that Achmed had a side of beef, 3 bags of UN stamped rice and a 5lb bucket of Tony Chacheres. If it had been a Rottweiler, it would have been drooling all over the floor and trying to hump it's...

    Ideal Backcountry Rifle weight?

    Oh man, are you stomping on those hybrid case loads? Don't want to sidetrack the conversation, but tell us about your experience with the hybrid cases please.

    Grandpa, I thought we buried you. How did you get here?

    On The Lighter Side Of News.....Karmelo Anthony Indicted

    So, unfortunately, I believe they will have to have aggravated murder to get the death penalty. If they can prove that he was stealing while murdering, or some other Amish activity, maybe they can make it a death penalty case. Seems like bringing the weapon onto school property would be enough...

    Ideal Backcountry Rifle weight?

    I've said it a few times, but every time I go out west on a mountain hunt, I come home and start buying lighter gear. I realize there are people on here who carry their 25lb prs rifles into the mountains, and they will be along shortly to tell us about it. I think there is a simple way to...

    Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

    Yeah, truthfully that test would not be much fun at all in my opinion, but I want to address how it's done. What I described above was two batches of brass, (100ea), one group is annealed before the first and after each firing, the control group is never annealed. Do identical brass prep on both...

    Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

    No, you misunderstand. Didn't disregard your data, and in fact, thank you for sharing it. It's just a very small sample size. That data may prove out over a thousand rounds, or ten-thousand, but you know 10 rounds isn't a large enough sample size to make any declarations. I've shot 10rd groups...

    Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

    I don't think I've been contrary nor have I challenged anyone on this thread, although I've done plenty of both in other places. I'm not buying an annealer until someone can show me a smoking gun that proves it's efficacy, but even when I'm talking to people who live by their annealing, nobody...

    Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

    I think you've done the same thing everyone in this conversation does: an appeal to data. The problem is that the available data provides nothing but data. Seems like such a simple thing to prove. One of my best friends shoots a .308 in prs and doesn't own an annealer. He brags about getting...

    Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

    I'm not arguing with you at all. That sounds right. Can you prove that it effects precision, accuracy, or brass life in any way?

    Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

    Thank you. I didn't mean to suggest one firing, I meant fire through all 200 rounds until they are all gone. If you got to thr 8th firing and had half as many case failures, that would be strong evidence. If after (x) firings, the consistency of the annealed brass caused (x) to my groups. Surely...

    Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

    I just looked through the stuff on the amp site. All I can find is "the case is more consistent post annealing by measuring with this method". I have no doubt that is true. My question is: has anyone ever simply loaded 200 cartridges and annealed 100 of them each firing and shoot through both...

    Hypothetical: 1x fired --> annealed

    Can someone, anyone show me quantitative proof that annealing has any effect on accuracy or brass life or whatever reason your doing it? I hear people speculate about these things, but I've never heard of any scientific testing to prove it's benefits. Does anyone know where I might look?
