    Weapon Safes

    Try Eastern Firearm Insurance. Good coverage, no list, replacement value, reasonable cost. Like $50k coverage for ~$175/yr. Their site indicates ‘historic’ but they insure non-historic firearms too. Riders for ammo and reloading equip are available. Eastern

    Weapon Safes

    This is true, but they will probably have a $100 angle grinder. Your safe is your last line of defense. Exterior lights, cameras/alerts on battery backup, noisy-ass (deafening) alarm, good doors/locks, interior obfuscation (maybe a cheap dummy RSC) and a safe that takes time to find and is hard...

    Ramshot TAC in stock

    I use a JDS Quick Measure. TAC is the only powder I run through it. I don't have a progressive, so, 50 223 cases in a block, then go from case to case with the JDS in hand. JDS indicates that it won't cut or get stuck on stick powder but I haven't had much luck with that. TAC runs through it...
