I somehow missed this thread in January. I brew all grain now, and make an occasional mead or cider too.

Very addictive hobby. I will admit that I will need to slow down because I'm starting to...

I took my older two boys and my daughter to Indy last year, and it was probably the most fun I've ever had with them.

It's worth doing at least once. It's a little too far for us this year, but I...

It always goes down before an election.. especially one where it looks like the Democrats will lose. Enjoy it until Thanksgiving.

I drive a diesel car, and the farmers (and me too!) are still...

Hmm.. never saw this thread before. I have 3 gallons of Mead going, 2 of cider and I did my first extract beer yesterday. Fun stuff.

Awesome! I sent my older boys (12 and 13) through Iowa YHEC on a local team last year, (they did horribly because they were only shooting for a couple of months, I grew up a suburbanite in...

I should note I tried the screw top Ziplocs (#5 PP) since I found some, with the same ASBB's that I used last time, and it didn't work as well as the other container, which was an older Ziploc #5 PP...

On the Lee hand press for depriming, I should say my other press is a RCBS Jr.. which has horrible depriming primer disposal on it, and that I actually read the comments about the Lee hand press...

All lead or a lot of tin mixed in? If it were 80%+ lead I'd buy it for that...

I have to agree that ESPC is going to give the best results with the most colors available.. but the HF Red in the Ziploc #5 round container with the "I got more than I paid for" cheapy airsofts...

The yellow ones I used were a closeout WM item ($4 for 10K at the time) that I've since seen back on the shelf.. they came with a little Colt .25 spring airsoft in them. They coated 100%. I would...

This is really quite entertaining. I like PC.. for pistol. I use those evil J-words for rifle... I have to agree that you would need industrial grade equipment to do rifle even enough not to knock...

I've seen it the other way. There is an old guy at the club that will occasionally show up with no guns and insist everyone is overshooting the berms. Even explaining that we were not because you...

Wrong type of airsofts, 78% humidity, no forceps.. but the right type of round #5 plastic ("Ziploc") bowl...

Bottom Row.. top row two coats, ESPC. I think we have a winner for pistol here,...

$30 new Lee hand press from Amazon is FANTASTIC for depriming.. (It's a permanent setup now.. ;) ) I think it would be nice for pistol as well.. I can't see myself FL sizing rifle on it tho...

The only time I've ever been banned from something on-line-- despite being quite the sarcastic SOB-- was on Facebook when one of the LGS's had me come over to "see something" on their computer. $600...

CCI's -- both minimag and SV have been showing up locally for about 7.5c/rd. Now.. on a good day before, you could get CCI's for 7c.. so factoring in inflation it's still less of a difference than a...

Our LGS has #41's for $39.99... so $75 is insane...

I saw that this morning too. I wonder if this is the first indication that end of this round of the "crazies" is starting to come to the end. Hell, I actually bought factory plinking ammo on sale...

TA4's have Auto Tune. TD4's AFAIK, do not.

This is intentional on (Chinese) factory lines so the line people don't play with the settings. ;)

Someone else who has the same pot setup and a...

Most of my dies (except for some RCBS I've added) were inherited from my dad, all RCBS and Redding. Honestly, I don't like the Reddings that much and plan on replacing them with RCBS or even Lee. ...

+1 on the headspace gauges. The Soviets when they rebuilt them and put them in Cosmolene would mix and match the bolt to the gun to obtain proper headspace. You may very well have to do some...

Or don't worry about it. If you have a modern inline.. and use modern powder substitutes, it is pretty simple.. Certainly easier than metallic cartridge reloading or shotshell reloading is.

I was...

Wife's and kids machine== Windows 8.1. Wife's still complaining about it, kids like it.

The old XP computers, put a new HDD in them, on the netbook I did Lubuntu and Wine and on the Pentium-D, I...

The CCI/Alliant (what's Speer?) boys in Idaho sure are entertaining, aren't they? I love their primers (and 22LR).. just wish their published data for the powders were a little better.. ;)

The SSR's don't get warm (I use the 40A because with SSR's bigger is better and the price difference is like $3 on e-bay).. but you DO need to put grease between the base of the SSR and whatever your...
