Reloading    2 Replies

I haven't had to replenish my supplies in a few years, but was getting a little short on srp.  I thought about getting a couple k srp as well as a lb of 2400 at precision reloading since I could stop and pick up my order Monday. $100/k for primers and $52+/lb for 2400!
Back when I had to walk uphill both ways through snow to school, primers were under .01 and 2400 cost $12/lb.
I might bite the bullet on primers,  but I have more than enough unique and h universal to last a lifetime. I guess I don't need top energy levels to kill paper and soda cans.
Thankfully,  I've got plenty of surp 844 and imr4895.
I no longer need lrp, and have a few k of those, but I looked at several mail order places out of curiosity. It appears that lrp are are somewhere between hen's teeth and unicorn farts.

Survival Food Review: Caffeine Mints by Rally - Peppermint Flavor!



Bottom line: Mild mint scent and flavor with just a hint of bitterness from the caffeine. Dissolves readily when chewed. After 30 minutes we felt a little more alert and energized. 2 Thumbs up!

I’m using Dad’s old field glasses

They’re not awesome. I’d like a monocular- the new ones zoom or focus one- handed. But I’d like not to have to remove my glasses. Suggestions?

Anybody heard of them? I just got a Happy Birthday email from them and I never heard of them and certainly am not a member. I googled them and they look like a legit forum but how and why they got my email and birthdate and sent me a happy birthday is a complete mystery to me. I will be investigating and will report back if I find the answer.

My friends, my .44 mag loads (24 grains of H110 under 240 grain Hornady XTP’s) out of my son’s Henry lever… WORK! To a gross and disgusting extent. The deer died very authoritatively.

If you want to see the picture, I’ll post it.
