    8.6 Blk reloading info

    Maggie’s The Retired Guy Thread

    Medicare Part D helps a lot. It's about $225 per month for each of us, but my wife's car was totaled and she had a 3 hour brain bleed operation. We never received a bill for medical expenses. We paid everything off before retirement, so SS covers us pretty nicely, even with hobbies. We both...

    Is .224 Valkyrie going to die out?

    Is .224 Valkyrie going to die out?

    I have reloading dies, powder, projectiles, etc., for every gun I own. As much as I spent building my Valkyrie, I will be shooting it, and so will my Son.
