Re: Reloading Setups
I started on Lee Precision equipment over 40 years ago, and have mostly stuck with it. Started on a turret press, but essentially use it as a multi-die single stage. Granted, it is not as fast as a turret set up properly, and certainly not as fast as a progressive, but I have never needed to crank o...

Re: RFK picks Gabbard and.... Checkmate ..?
If Trumps wants to put it away, he'll ask Tulsi first. The balance she'd pull for that ticket would be unreal. She hasn't been shy about dropping the hint that she'd serve if asked.

Re: Ruger Marlin 1894 44 Magnum
I have an older model 1894 in .44 Magnum, bought second hand for $150 back in Indiana in the early 1980's. Wonderful gun. I am dismayed that firearms (and a lot of other things) aren't better inspected, and better built, and we've all become accustomed to problems with new items. Sad state of qualit...
