Fricken FedEx


There is/was a general store I think about an hour north of where i am where you could get your beer, a shotgun, and a wedding dress ? that's Maine for you

I though it was so you could buy the dress for the knocked up daughter, the shotgun so the b@st@rd who did it, "did the honorable thing" & married her and the beer to celebrate she was now his problem, not yours. :yahoo:

And I thought that was just small town anywhere.

Meh, I think it was in Oil City PA, there was an Ace Hardware that had a wedding dress in the front window display for nearly 20 years.
 
That's sexy. I always wanted to get myself a bride at the same place I buy my toilet gaskets.
 
Or Lee. Or rcbs. Or literally anything American made.

Handloading > literally any other ammo on earth.

Yes. It takes time.

Some reload for precision. I reload because I'm cheap.

And at 4c for 9mm at one point...

I would much rather rely on my normal FedEx driver he is the only person I ever tip around Christmas. I dont ever tip unless we are eating at a restaurant. I just dont believe in take out tipping. Dont judge.
 
I got a magnum research BFR 45/70 I have to do custom loads for it.

It shots a foot low at a hundred meters and six inches high at twenty five meters with 300 grain federal.

My one buddy who is big into shooting has a few hundred dollars in his reloading setup. A very fancy, 5-die auto advancing multi-action reloading press, a cheap but sturdy HF work bench, and good materials.

He waits for the bullets themselves to go on sale and then buys a few thousand units at a time, but only has to buy about once every other year.

He has a small arsenal, shoots a box of 30 at least once a month. I take the .38 to the range about once a year for practice and usually put about 60 rounds through it each session.

We spend about the same amount in ammo per year.
 
I shoot quite often probably costs 200-300 a month. I really need to start reloading.
 
Back in the old days my dad and I would reload and cast our own bullets. We had a whole setup in the basement. We could do others but mainly .38, 357 and 32s. We did alot of target shooting. I hunted with an antique 32 Winchester Special model 94 carbine. It was my grandfather's and still have it. No scope only peep sites. Had to oil the stock after every hunt since there was no real finish on it. That thing was a great brush gun. Dad still uses a 32 Marlin carbine and my uncle has a newer 32 Winchester. Geez even my shotgun was from my great uncle (left hand safety).

I think I need to buy a new one. Sold my Beretta and Ruger like 30 years ago...
