That the DNC, and the FBI and the DOJ, haven’t yet refuted the charges that the Nunes Memo lays? They’ve said a LOT, but I haven’t heard a denial from them.

Just FYI:

In case you haven’t heard, one of our own has suffered a tragedy.

My condolences to Angel and her Family. If ya got a minute, and are so inclined, say a prayer to whomever you pray. Or at least think good thoughts her way. She’s good people, and doesn’t deserve this.

Ken Lane (Wirecutter), AKA Knuckledraggin, is doing a fundraiser, ’cause this couldn’t have come at a worse time for the family.

You can find out how to donate HERE.
I tossed a Benjamin her way (who needs ammo this month?), but even $5 or $10 will help.

We often help many we don’t know, who aren’t part of ourTribe.
Let us come together hand help one of our own.

This is what I get for being a range hound

Posted on 02/01/2018 by B

I tend to pick up brass at the range, especially if it is a caliber I shoot….I mean, hey, if folks wanna leave it behind, why should I let it get tossed?

*********

So I go to load some .45 ACP for a new shooter that I am taking to the range on Friday.

I tumbled some range pickup brass, load 2 tubes with primers, pull out a box of plated 230 grain, check the powder levels, lube the 550 and commence to loading.

about 10 cases in, I get one where the primer just will not go back in. …Odd, but hey, this is brass of no certain pedigree, so I pull the case out and toss it into the trash.

About 10 cases later, I get another. Then another.
Damn, this is affecting my rhythm.

When I got the 4th one, I looked at the primer pockets to see if they were staked, or had burrs, or what was causing them to not load primers. They were all the same headstamp.

I began checking the base of each cartridge I picked up out of the bin before loading it into the press (I usually just get into the rhythm….pick up a case, load the case with my right hand, put a bullet in the primed and loaded case on the other side of the press with y left hand, pull lever, rinse, repeat…..

Having to look at each piece of brass slows me down, but I soldier on. I mean, I can usually load about 250 .45 in an hour, this is slowing me down to about half that.

It wasn’t until I was done that I noticed what was different about the uncooperative brass….
