    Are you a handloader near Chicago? I could use your help and will compensate you!

    I'm trying to take better pictures for my website, because the ones I have right now make me sad. What I need is someone who make their own ammo. I just need to borrow some loaded rounds and components to use to take pictures of them in the loading blocks I make. I can't have just...

    Sheriff's officer kills 1 of 3 robbers, caught on surveillance camera.

    This makes me smile. Too bad, because the 16 year old gunman was just turning his life around, and he was well-liked by his classmates, and the officer had no right to kill him. Cops: Off-duty sergeant fatally shoots teen during robbery - chicagotribune.com

    Has anyone had a similar problem with dehydration or am I wrong in my self diagnosis?

    I have had intermittent serious back pain/cramps for a while and I had no idea why. It would come and go without explanation... I've never hurt my back in any way and I had no idea what could cause it. I'm 28, not overweight, and I don't strain my back during my work day. The pain would...

    Something new to see in Illinois...

    I've lately been seeing a lot of places starting to put up " No concealed weapons" signs. I've seen a few restaurants, gyms, and other businesses in the last few weeks that have these signs. There's a place by my work now that is offering big anti-concealed carry signs. It's pretty sad...

    Strange mark on once fired brass I bought

    So I got this once fired brass, .44mag. Within these were a few other cals, like 9mm, .357, etc, i assume by accident since I was getting .44 mag. Anyways, every single piece, on the .44 mag, 9mm, .357 sig, .357 mag, etc...has an odd circle imprint on it. It's very slightly indented into the...

    I'm trying to sell this for a friend, but with all the craziness lately I don't want to ask too little or too much.

    Home Construction question, $ estimate for a door.

    I have a hallway in my basement that I want to cut off with a door. I have a door already, and the hallway is about 6" (at most) wider on each side than the door is. Does anyone know an approximate cost for someone to come and put this in for me, with materials and labor, minus the door? Thanks

    Question about 9mm lee factory crimp die

    I loaded my first batch of 9mm today, which is also my first attempt at pistol ammo. I used a lee factory crimp die and followed instructions that were supplied. On the way in, the round entered smoothly and encountered a slight resistance at the top of the travel (which is what I assume was...
