    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.

    Factory Loads

    Thanks guys. Only bought the chronograph so I would know what the velocity is, not to try and hot rod the cartridge. Appreciate the offer. I have yet to put a casing on the press but am getting pretty close. I just want to have a clear plan in my head before I start. I have enjoyed the...

    Factory Loads

    It is important that you understand that I am not getting into reloading to "tune" loads to shoot .000015 5 shot groups at 1000 yards in an 80 mph cross wind with a 130 grain titanium tipped bullet running at light speed. I am in this because the cost and availability of ammo for my WSM is...

    Peterson 300WSM Brass Coming Soon

    Just looked at their web site this morning. They list .270 WSM as well as the 300 WSM cartridges. Expensive stuff but if you need it you have a place to get it.

    Midlife career opportunity! Enlist or reenlist.

    An individual who joins, does 4 years and gets out is considered to be on "Inactive Reserve" for an additional 4 years. They are subject to recall during that time in the event of war. Military retiree's are subject to recall for their entire life and have to ensure that their contact info is...

    How do you store reloaded ammo

    I have saved the original packaging from rounds that I have shot but recently bough new unfired brass. I have read that some will store it loose in zip lock bags inside a military style ammo can. Leaning towards plastic cases but struggle between 20 or 50 round boxes (basically because I am...
