If Trump is elected, the leftists will panic and start buying guns and ammo in quantity.

I see it as a 1930's type of thing where money is to hard to come by and a shooting hobby might not be possible because of very limited funds. My grandfather lived through the depression and told many stories. None of them involved making primers or shooting for fun. They bought factory ammo and us...

Perotter, 75k rounds/year is definitely a lot of rounds. What type of shooting were you doing at that time to get to that kind of number? Just curious. Aside from load development and hunting, off hand target practice with rifles(bolt and lever actions). Mostly at 100 and 220 yards. I shot every da...

If a person is doing it because they are afraid of running out due to a shortage, then buy, buy, buy now. Exactly. For a few thousand dollars you could buy enough primers to last several lifetimes. Those would fit in a relatively small storage cabinet. Remember, in a true SHTF situation, you aren't...

.... They are dangerous. No way around it. If the plants that make this stuff have occasional detonations, you can just imagine the issues with untrained home chemists. While I would be willing to tinker around with this in a true SHTF situation, to do so for other reasons strikes me as being rathe...

There is no need to measure at that level. The factories don't.

DanM, thanks for the posting. I found it interesting with good info. I had forgotten about the original posting but was looking into the ability to reuse a spent primer. From what I've been able to discern, is that the hardest part is acquiring the necessary chemicals to make the primer compound. I...

Watched it. He threw all kinds of this is experimental, don't do this unless it's the zombie apocalypse crap in there. Personally I think home practical chemistry is fun, but you need to have a better working knowledge of what you are messing with than this guy showed. Will it work? Sure, but not v...

FWIW and only sightly related to the topic. For years I normally only have 3 powders that I use. One flake powder(Unique), one ball powder(WC820 or H110 or 296) and one stick powder(4895). While this doesn't always allow for the optimum reload, it does make it simple-safe-and allow for less money co...

Since Putin was in the KGB, it's not surprising that he looks like he's from a James Bond movie. Maybe how Putin looks in the picture is the look that actors study to see how to look like for a movie.

From Houston vs Moore: "The power of the States over the militia is not taken away; it existed in them before the establishment of the constitution, and there being no negative clause prohibiting its exercise by them, it still resides in the States, so far as an exercise of it by them is not ab...

Regarding the National Guard vs. State Guards, and which is or is not "the Militia" is a little convoluted: The National Guard is in theory the descendant of the old State militias: it's what was called a "select" militia back in colonial days, and referred to in the 1903 Militi...

Also as far as getting one in Minnesota sooner rather than latter, Gov. Dayton was out in Washington a couple months ago about the National Guard. He said that the new reduction in the size of the National Guard would make it to small to be able to handle state emergencies. Taking what he said at fa...

Militia's have a positive image in this state? :rotf: ... Dream on! What exactly are you guys looking for? You pooh pooh the thought of joining the NG, do you really think any state run body would be set up or run any differently? ETA: if you think a state run militia can't be federalized, I sugges...

Welcome to the Forum. I've been known to reload a cartridge or two - would be interesting to talk with you sometime. I would be interested in talking to you also. But to state up front, I'm not a bench rest shooter nor do I reload round that are for just one rifle or handgun. For regular reloading ...
