I heard that some guys are buying up 10k case lots, but who knows where to find those and finance 'em.

Yabbut, what would it cost for someone to buy the equipment and components today, just starting out? Triple or more? You can start reloading for a $100 bill. Or less if you hunt around for used powder measure, press, dies and a scale. Or you can simply buy a hammer and a Lee Loader. While I have good gear..I have at least 10 Lee Loaders for various cartridges. In fact..I do most of my .303 British by resizing them in a Lee Loader. Its easier on the 303 brass when they are truely necksized only (and with most SMLE rifles..neck size only). If you dont know what neck sizing is... https://www.google.com/search?q=what...utf-8&oe=utf-8 http://www.303british.com/id31.html And Lee Loaders are actually pretty fast if you use them properly.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeEl9wZyabc a NEW Lee Loader set will set you back about $35 shipping included. I buy used ones for $10-20 tops http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lee-Classic-...AOSwXeJXeTN N Example only of course. Rifle, pistol, shotgun..all can be done on various Lee Loaders. Shrug. My progressives or single station presses will kick em out faster...but sometimes you dont need a $100+ to reload cartridges Gunner --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

And on that note, let's see how you've been doing lately. http://www.kcttc.co.kern.ca.us/Payme...TYPE=AT&YR= C Well whatdoyauknow, unpaid, unpaid, unpaid ad infinitum. Yet another new lien in April, for a measly $300 that you couldn't possibly come up with, right? Couldn't dip into your gun or cigarette money, of course.

I'm new at it and you seem to know your way around the issue. Did you get it? Garrett Fulton It may be buried among the many, MANY emails from Patriot news lists I'm subscribed to. As you may know, the country is in a humongous crisis right now. President Trump has announced the fact that Obammy tapped his phones. All the Patriot groups are issuing calls to action to have the traitor Barack HIESANE Obammy retroactively impeached. I'm going through all these emails as quickly as I can. I should get to yours in a couple of days. A week at the latest. In the meantime, do not wait to load your own. Buy everything you can get your hands on before all the gun shops sell out. The cull is here, get ready NOW! This is not a drill. Gunner ---- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus Okay, thanks. That message was not from me. Just a heads up. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

You, on the other hand talk about shooting at a stump and need hundreds of rounds. Quite obviously you are either a terrible bad shot or you just like to hear the noise. I would imagine that a string of Chinese firecrackers would be a far cheaper noise maker and ought to prove satisfactory to someone that just wants to go "bang, bang, bang". Shooting morbidly obese Canadians takes many rounds of ammo just to bust through the many layers of goop. Good Gracious! Several rounds to penetrate... What are you using a Red Rider BB gun? I think you should fall back on the Chinese firecrackers. The same penetration ad all that lovely noise. -- Cheers, Schweik Gunner is just the deviant and depraved sort of gun owner who has come to dominate the hunting/target shooting/collecting conversation of which I was a part for 50 years. His interest is primarily in fulfilling his fantasy of killing the people he blames for his own failings. This has become a common type in the gun-owning community. There are plenty of us old-time gun owners left, but we don't yabber about our interests nearly as much. So the Gunners are the noisy face of gun owning in the US. They are the dirtbag gun nutz. They're where gun ownership, and the legitimate traditions therof, have gone to die. It is a whole different world :-( I can remember when "going to the range" was to check out the new modification to your varmint rifle to see if it would shoot 1/4" inch groups. Of course my grandfather who had killed his deer, or maybe more than his share some years, probably never went to a shooting range in his life and (depending on how active the game warden was) probably fired one, or maybe a couple more, rounds a year from his Winchester 38-55. Now, apparently, "shooting" is about making a lot of noise, thus the comments about Chinese firecrackers. -- Cheers, Schweik |

Of course my grandfather who had killed his deer, or maybe more than his share some years, probably never went to a shooting range in his life and (depending on how active the game warden was) probably fired one, or maybe a couple more, rounds a year from his Winchester 38-55. Now, apparently, "shooting" is about making a lot of noise, thus the comments about Chinese firecrackers.

A pound of powder, a couple hundred primers, a box or two of bullets or cast bullets (need cast..simply ask), brass and a Lee Loader will set you back about $50-65 for a few hundred rounds of ammo.

I would imagine that a string of Chinese firecrackers would be a far cheaper noise maker and ought to prove satisfactory to someone that just wants to go "bang, bang, bang". Shooting morbidly obese Canadians takes many rounds of ammo just to bust through the many layers of goop. Good Gracious! Several rounds to penetrate... What are you using a Red Rider BB gun? I think you should fall back on the Chinese firecrackers. The same penetration ad all that lovely noise. Ayup..AP-Tracer rounds are illegal in California ..so I dont have many. So we dont have the option of buring a tracer deep enough for the fat to burst into flames. But...come on by and Ill demonstrate how Molotov cocktails work. That might cause your obesity to melt enough to start to burn. Got my address? Good Gracious..come on by. Call first though. Oh Great. You made enough money this week to buy a quart of gasoline? Things must be looking up out your way. But API rounds for your Red Rider BB Gun? I don't believe it. Ah well, what else has an impoverished and feeble old man have left. Except for his fantasies?

Triple or more? You can start reloading for a $100 bill. Or less if you hunt around for used powder measure, press, dies and a scale. People on eBay want more for a used RCBS than they cost new at a local store ($269). But how about brass, primers, and boolies? There are people on Ebay who charge more for shipping than the cost of the item. I avoid them like Leftists. Such people are the scum of the earth. Like Leftists. (Grin) Grok that, and ditto. Or you can simply buy a hammer and a Lee Loader. While I have good gear..I have at least 10 Lee Loaders for various cartridges. In fact..I do most of my .303 British by resizing them in a Lee Loader. Its easier on the 303 brass when they are truely necksized only (and with most SMLE rifles..neck size only). If you dont know what neck sizing is... I do. (never say that around a woman) This is the first I've heard about Lee Loaders. Cool tool. They're going for $25-35 on eBay. Look for them at gun shows. You will often find em for $10. I do suggest purchasing a used scale and powder measure, but you can indeed use the little scoops to load them well enough for generic loadings. I don't think my little 5Kgx1g electronic scale would be sensitive enough. It has to do "grains", not grams. Other than that..the small electronic scales do work well enough. If you are yard saleing...always keep an eye open for bullet molds, reloading equipment, powder, primers and bullets. One will occasionally find such, particularly in yard sales by widows. If you have the slightest hint/idea that someone in the home was a shooter/hunter/gun owner...ask if they have any such stuff for sale. Its surprising how much stuff turns up, that the owner never thought to sell. Same with guns. A large percentage of my toys came from such. No sons to inherit, Da's Garand or Mauser has been tucked away in the back of a closet since the 80s. I think I've only seen 1 or 2 reloading parts at garbadj sales in 40 years. And the couple sets of reloading stations were eBayleftist priced, $350-500. I rather doubt I'll get into reloading, but if I did see a Lee Loader at $10 in a relevant caliber, I might grab it. A pound of powder, a couple hundred primers, a box or two of bullets or cast bullets (need cast..simply ask), brass and a Lee Loader will set you back about $50-65 for a few hundred rounds of ammo. Go to Wally World and buy 200 rds of say...30-30 or 06 and try to do that for $65. Try to do that for $100... Just saying...it can be really really cheap to reload decent ammo. Given that factory ammo even at Wally World costs at minimum $18-40 for 20 rds of whatever rifle ammo...shrug. Gunner --- Goodness gracious, Whatever do you want all them there bullets for? I ask as my granddad had two 20 round boxes in the kitchen drawer that lasted him 30 years and he shot his deer every fall. You, on the other hand talk about shooting at a stump and need hundreds of rounds. Quite obviously you are either a terrible bad shot or you just like to hear the noise. I would imagine that a string of Chinese firecrackers would be a far cheaper noise maker and ought to prove satisfactory to someone that just wants to go "bang, bang, bang". Shooting morbidly obese Canadians takes many rounds of ammo just to bust through the many layers of goop. Good Gracious! Several rounds to penetrate... What are you using a Red Rider BB gun? I think you should fall back on the Chinese firecrackers. The same penetration ad all that lovely noise. -- Cheers, Schweik Gunner is just the deviant and depraved sort of gun owner who has come to dominate the hunting/target shooting/collecting conversation of which I was a part for 50 years. His interest is primarily in fulfilling his fantasy of killing the people he blames for his own failings. This has become a common type in the gun-owning community. There are plenty of us old-time gun owners left, but we don't yabber about our interests nearly as much. So the Gunners are the noisy face of gun owning in the US. They are the dirtbag gun nutz. They're where gun ownership, and the legitimate traditions therof, have gone to die. It is a whole different world :-( I can remember when "going to the range" was to check out the new modification to your varmint rifle to see if it would shoot 1/4" inch groups. Of course my grandfather who had killed his deer, or maybe more than his share some years, probably never went to a shooting range in his life and (depending on how active the game warden was) probably fired one, or maybe a couple more, rounds a year from his Winchester 38-55. Now, apparently, "shooting" is about making a lot of noise, thus the comments about Chinese firecrackers. You and Fast Eddy sure do make a lot of noise. Certainly... and, obviously, we hit the target, don't we. Only if you are tossing **** at each other. Anything else...no...no you dont. Nope. We are throwing **** at you.... and you are catching it. Snicker....your aim is as poor as your intellect. (VBG) But I guess when one gets old and feeble and has to live on charity there isn't much else one can do. Is there? Good question indeed. But given how hard you try to hide...its unlikely we will ever find out. Hide? Just like old gumball asche? Certainly. Using a nym is hiding? Everyone knows my full name is Mark R Wieber, 326 Olive Ave, Taft, California. So who are you? Laugh laugh laugh!!! (VBG) I should hope so. After all when you are outed what else can you do but sit there with a sickly grin on your face? But I thought you were bragging about your trip to L.A. and the two twenty dollar bills you were going to make.? Forty dollars? For a week's work? Good Lord! That is a dollar an hour... I haven't worked that cheap since I was 16 years old. I've heard about penny ante operators but you really take the cake. $40? I grossed $1600 last week. Oh..you were lying again. But hey..thats no surprise, now is it? Laugh laugh laugh!!!! --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
