    That exact situation happened to my son. Tore up a knee pretty bad but lived to tell about it.

    Bench Primer

    BTW I had to have my RCBS bench primer warranted before I got the PCPS. The RCBS was leaving too many primers proud, not seated flush or below flush.

    Bench Primer

    You have to do that with the PCPS also but it's just a flick of a finger or thumb. Happens almost subconsciously

    Wyoming roadtrip

    Some of the worst swarms of mosquitoes and flys I've seen in my life were on some back-country hikes in Yellowstone. Vicious doesn't describe how they attacked us. Back country Canada was about the only comparison as to how bad the skeeters and flys can get. 100% DEET. Consider a headnet. We...

    Bench Primer

    The PCPS system is great, especially if you, like me, have arthritic hands. I particularly like the click adjustment for primer depth. I also have the RCBS bench primer but only use it now if I only have a few primers to seat. The PCPS is machined like a Swiss watch btw.

    Why not SOTU?

    An SOTU address doesn't even need to be a speech. It can be a simple written document.

    Hearing protection active muffs in 2025

    Sordin Supreme Pro SFA 32db with the gel cups. I wore mine all day at the range and never took them off. Best money ever spent for the shooting sports.

    Getting started on a budget...

    If you haven't already discovered, guys here are really good at spending other guys money. A Rockchucker is a good press. You can spend more but not necessarily buy better. Don't bother with a case eject thingy. L-N-L bushings to me are a solution to a nonexistent problem. An annealer may give...

    The RV alone was about $150,000 new. I know, I have one by the same manufacturer.

    Rifle Scopes Lightest midrange hunting scopes

    I have an earlier Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14 that has been on maybe 6 different rifles. It has a simple plex reticle but it's bright, clear and tracks repeatedly. I'd buy another over a Leupold in the same zoom range albeit with a more modern reticle.

    Quick question for the "watch guys" on the Hide here...

    My Seamaster runs about a minute or so slow per month. A watchmaker friend says that's good to go. He wears a Hamilton btw......

    DO NOT LOSE YOUR CARD!

    An ATM ate my debit card, seized it, in Istanbul Turkey in August of this year. Didn't have access to cash for nearly 3 weeks. Talk about a Pia.
