Gotcha! I figured with the "across the bridge" statement it was probably Wisconsin, but at one point I thought I read that it wasn't legal in Wisconsin either! Time to read up on my laws again!

Hey, TC95GT, I can sympathize. I got a Barnes & Noble gift card from my brother, with which I bought "ABCs of Reloading".

It's an ok book. There are some things about history in it that dont have anything to do with reloading. I was offering others to read it for free. I'm not giving it away, just letting people read it and give it back. If you can take yours back, you can barrow mine. I would say barrow this and buy the Lyman 49th Handbook. It's not my fault you dont post your every thought here so we can "help" you make the "right" decisions.

I've still got some $ available on my gift card, so I think I might get the Lyman book too, thanks.

Any other votes for "best reloading book", anybody?

I'm kinda late chiming in, but I had ordered a holster from Srigs for my son's Taurus 92. He has such a good product that it still won't be ready for a few weeks. :cry: Other than that, I pretty much have all the guns I want for now, which isn't nearly as much as some of you, but, I'm having enough trouble feeding the ones I have. :roll: BTW, I'm also going to have Vlad make a holster for me so I can be super fast at the steel shoots. TC95GT has already told me that this is the only thing I'm missing since I've cleaned the rear sight on my P-345. 8-)

I have decided that, as a late Christmas present to myself, I am going to pick up one of the Davidson's limited edition Marlin 336 Trapper lever guns in 30-30. 16.5" barrel, laminated stock, hi-viz sights, stainless.......mmmm walking in the woods perfection.

I think you need a new exhaust on your truck or maybe a good sharp rap on the head, that doesn't sound like you.....

You're on your way to the big time. Just don't forget us little people once the sponsorships and TV interviews start rolling in. ;)

BTW, if you need my P-345 to use for the holster build the offer still stands.

Nope, truck's gone, so is the car. :cry: Already fell and hit my head. :doh: How do you think I got here in the first place? :P

My wife bought me a Saiga 7.62x39 rifle for Christmas. Bless her heart!

The bottom pic is one I just snapped messin' around. I took the EoTech and LaRue magnifier off my Bushy for a photo op.
