    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Pensions that are not annually adjusted via COLA are worthless. I remember hearing stories about persons back in the 70's retiring from the big 3 auto makers with pensions of $450.00 per month after 30 years. They thought the slayed a fat hog back then. If you have an annually adjusted...

    What to do with some savings

    EVERY finance/controller guy I ever dealt with had the absolute worst personal finances. I don't mean to offend anyone in the profession here but if the shoe fits...... Leave the money where it is and add to it every payday. There is no magic bullet, no "sure thing", no book to read or video...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Agree that investing comes down to risk tolerance. Wife and I fully retired 4 years ago and enjoy everyday. Transferred my 401k balance to my IRA account and told my advisor to slam his foot on the gas and let-r-rip. I looked at the investments we have as long term with a won't need the money...

    Best friend is close to losing his Father

    I have a neighbor that is as close as any family. I have known him for the better part of 30 years having met him through my In-laws. He is almost 90 and pretty much housebound. His youngest son is his care taker and needs help lifting Dad if he falls. I always dread those late evening or...

    MI removed the southern gun line!

    I grew up about 7 miles North of the "shotgun line". I can remember back in the early 80's sitting on the rifle side watching a group of guys on the shotgun side looking at a buck that was about 250 yards or so out. None of them wanted to take a shot so the just watched. The buck crossed the...

    RIP Spirit Airlines

    I retired from a trucking company 4 years ago. Boss handed it over to two late 20 somethings (his daughter and son-in-law) who have gutted the company. If they make it another year they will surprise everyone who is outside looking in. Fuel costs and lack of qualified drivers have caused...

    Another Legend Gone !

    Saw him play in a bar outside of Chanute AFB, Rantoul IL in 1991 or 92. When I told people I was going to the concert there was quite a few that were concerned for my safety. "There will be outlaw bikers and thugs at that place" they said. Saw both but the concert was fantastic and only one...

    What I learned today

    Done now. Hoping that my frustration will help another "new to reloading" person.

    What I learned today

    I am over the top cautious with measurements. So much so that I would be questioning if the width of the pen mark skewed my COAL. LOL!

    What I learned today

    I read about the split case last night.

    What I learned today

    Today I learned to find the lands on my rifle using an empty case and a bullet. OK, here is the part that took me a couple of hours because my reloading sage (not on this site) and the you-tube guys I watched didn't explain this fully. If you are new to this as I am, in order to find the lands...

    Factory Loads

    I have no experience with the Barnes TTSX but have experience with the Hornady version on the Hornady Outfitter ammo. I have shot 2 deer with the tipped mono bullets and both times the entrance hole was bigger than the exit. Ended up with an unacceptable amount of blood shot meat. Going back...

    Factory Loads

    Yep! Exactly what you said in your post about replicating "Good enough". Will be shooting Barnes TSX exclusively so I appreciate the comment about loading to the requirements of the bullet.
