I hope to see percussion caps again in the stores around me. Then maybe at reasonable prices! One can hope, right?

Re: Paper Cartridges
For the cartridge or to clean out a chamber?
Problem with use in a cartridge is that it would create more unburnt (but possibly smoldering) paper residue. Unless the adhesive was highly flammable... Hmmm...

Re: Watching “Hondo” tonight….
Thanks to Uberti the folks in Hollywood are making more period correct films these days. Great story though! And I still enjoy a John Wayne film. +1 But I will say my expectations are much higher now. Just rewatched "Quigley Down Under", one of my favorite movies. :D Always liked the vari...

Re: It's All About What You Get Used To
I loaded a bunch of 9mm back in the day. Part of the deal with my brother if he helped me buy a Lee press. I loaded .44 Magnums for me and 9mm's for him. But I probably haven't loaded any 9's in 20 or 30 years. Since 9mm's are now the cheapest centerfire ammo available, I'd rather buy loaded rounds ...

I moved south 30 years ago and my blood thinned instantly. I remember fondly very cold days when I was growing up in Indiana, and then when I lived in Michigan when I started my career. But I never want to see 30 below again!

Re: Making Lemonade…
My thoughts too, John. I certainly wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of the 255 grain pill. It handled full power loads with no issue.
By "full power" I mean standard .45 Colt stuff. These were reloaded to those levels. I wouldn't try it with Cor-bon ammo for sure!

Re: Anyone else here about deaf?
Like others, a lot of shooting when I was younger without hearing protection on has taken its toll. Right now I can still hear okay unless I get into a room with a lot of background noise, especially people talking. Can't hear squat then.

I'm hoping Trump is playing 4-D chess again. Gaetz may not (probably won't) get through the nomination process. But he quit the house and is no longer a thorn in the side of Johnson. If Gaetz doesn't get through, which may be Trump's intent, then he'll nominate another. I'd like to see Trey Gowdy ge...
