Do you make your own defense rounds?

[Digital Dan]

i mean, using a 2.5' sword, against a 10' away bullet, well end the person with the sword being shot.

My reference to medieval weapons somewhat tongue in cheek. OTOH they are brutal beyond the pale. Visibly more so than bullets.

You need to practice with your defense rounds so that $30 just turned into $500 a year while cast bullet reloads would be a fraction of that

True but my life is worth $500. Most spend that buying coffee at the quick mart every morning

[MaryB]

Not all of us, $500 is dang near half of what I live on a month so I shoot and use cast, I reclaim loose lead every range trip along with scrounging wheel weights.

The more I read the responses to this, the more I believe in the the saying, "if they're worth shooting, then their body is worth disposing of". We can't just leave rotting corpses around, can we?

1959,
You're very right, Sir. Wouldn't be sanitary, and we're respectable folks here afterall.

Having said that though, at least around here, it'd be considered tampering with evidence, so I won't be moving anything cause that is one thing I don't want to have to explain. If this was still the 1800s with no LE and not much explaining, it would be a different story.

Not necessarily. If you like RemChester Super XXX Gold but can't buy the components to roll your own, it's not hard to develop a load that shoots to the same point of impact. That way you can keep the top shelf zombie-killin' fancy stuff in the bedroom for defense and practice all you want with bargain basement cast boolits.

Dan's Disposal Service has reasonable rates......

From a practical standpoint, at typical self-defense distances, it really does not matter what load you're using since the bullet just does not have enough distance to drop any appreciable distance. Sure, if you practice with powder-puff loads and carry full power loads, your time to reacquire the sight picture and subsequent shots might be off a bit, but that should just give you incentive to make the first shot count.

Dan, after making that offer in open forum, I hope you have more "employees", cause I can see your business expanding in the near future.

What's your shipping address????? Volume Discounts????? Willing to do pickups????

[mallen]

dan hits the nsa list in 3....2....1....

[Digital Dan]

I so askeerd of NSA...

No pick ups, flat rate, extra in winter. Lizards get retarded in cool weather. Sharks move offshore. Cost of fuel and all that. My complaint department is open 24/7, staffed by 2 rattlers and a red head.

Which is more dangerous?

[mallen]

I was going to ask if she was hot, but yea, thats a good question too.

[Digital Dan]

I dunno, but you might ask the rattlers.

I forgot to tell you where to make drop offs, sorry. There's a little town north of me called Otter Creek. I don't live there, but it's a bit northwest of Chatmire, or pretty much due north of Red Level. There's a Kangaroo at the intersection in the middle of that triangle, right next to the local PD. Just stop in there and ask for me, they all know me and Albert. We help the local school with training for track with special emphasis on sprints.

[Lonegun1894]

I think I'd feel safer tangling with the two rattlers....

Yup when it's cold out side the rattlers go into a deep sleep, the red head is just getting started.
