a .45 colt mystery

[stephenj]

I dare someone to explain this
For a couple years now i have been shooting the same 250 .45 colt cases
200 of them are remington cases and 50 was .454 cases i cut down to use up some small rifle primers

Yesterday i sat down to load them all up ... after tumbling i seperated the cases
And only came up with 49 .454 cases
I looked and looked for that missing case with no luck and proceded to load

After finishing and recounting ... i now have 201 remington cases and 49 .454 starline cases

Now explain that one ... a quick count of primers used confirmed. My count
And i havent been anywhere to have picked up a stray .. neither have i been. Out shooting with anyone else who may have decided to play a small prank

Seems you now have a piece of tranny brass in your bunch...

Better watch out, it will try to convert others, and will soon sue for "equal protection and rights"...

[DRNurse1]

Seems that George paid you a visit....any other evidence? Check your moulds and dies :-)

[pworley1]

It could be the NSA.

I sent obummer an email and asked how this could be . . . He wrote back that Bush did it. [smilie=1:

I was out shooting my 45LC behind my house one day, and I thought I had put all empties in my pocket. Somehow I was one short. Looked in every pocket, etc. Well, I found the empty casing, in the grass, about 6 months after I had fired it.

[300savage]

thats why i gave up the hard drugs..

[osteodoc08]

That's why I just shoot up all my brass, clean it and reload it. I can never seem to keep a perfect 50 anyways. I'll lose it, crush it, run it over, drop it and have it roll underneath the bench to the back where I'm too lazy to go chasing after it. I typically buy in lots of 500 from Starline.

But to answer your question, who knows.

[parson48]

If we solve this then we work on the sock lost in the laundry mystery.

[doctorggg]

Memory is a terrible thing to loose.
PS I'm still looking for the lost socks.

[MT Gianni]

When messing with a mechanic you do not take parts away from his rebuild you add them. I suspect gremlins.

[Char-Gar]

You have never heard of brass breeding at night? It happens.

[Stonecrusher]

You think that us weird? The other day I was loading my .45 Colt brass, I have only Remington brass as well and have 250 pcs. While sorting the brass I noticed one piece with *Starline* .454 headstamp. It was the correct length so I did not notice it right off. I counted the brass and still have only 250.
Perhaps there is a wormhole between GA and OH! :holysheep

[stephenj]

Having lost a case realy didnt have me scratching my head to much ... it happens
However having gained a case realy has me puzzled .
I dont have a clue where it could have came from ... hasnt been anyone in my house except me since i shot them last weekend .

It has to be gremlins or bush's fault .... if the brass can breed its not doing it fast enough

Al Gore demands a recount

[Harter66]

Yep , hosezone gremlins.

I find Rem and PMC brass in my many times sorted and loaded Win 9mm almost every time.

Most of my Colts are Win but there are 20 Rem and 90 PMC , it seems like every time I load a volume I get a PMC or a Rem sneak in, there have been a few nickel sneak in and out too. No clue where they cam from....

[starnbar]

Did brass magnet stop by your house?

[Dframe]

Maybe the evil god of brass (ZiNg Cu) has smiled on you today. Usually he demands a sacrifice at the range and steals your cases, especially autos.

[Hardcast416taylor]

I do not like nickled brass for my pistol shooting. I ran a PPC range for 10 years at a local gun club. When I would tumble my fired yellow brass cases I would wind up with some nickle cases mixed in. This kept happening for about 7 years and was driving me bonkers as no one seemed to know how this was happening. A good friend that shot with me moved to Fl to take a teaching job. He called about 2 months later to ask me if my pistol cases still had nickle brass showing up. When I said no it seems to have stopped he remarked "Good, I was running of nickle brass to throw in your range bucket"!Robert

[bob208]

when you get that one figured out. work on the missing socks in the dryer.

[Blacksmith]

The black helicopters wanted a sample of your fired brass, probably to plant somewhere later, so they swiped one and left a replacement not realizing you had two kinds. I advise you get rid of the rest of your .454 brass (you may send it to me since once I fire it it won't match) and replace it with Remington then if they try to frame you you can say you only shoot Remington as they drag you away.

You may now remove your tinfoil clothing.

[DLCTEX]

It's those stinking gremlins! They moved my 22-250 size die to a place I would never have left it, stole my 480 Ruger shell holder then after I bought a new one they sneaked it back on my bench, right in plain sight where I had looked numerous times. I'm going to load up some salt loads and lay for them and salt their hides.

[C. Latch]

I'm guessing that your .45 came with a fired case in the box, and that's where the 201st case came from.

Mine came with a nickel Starline fired case. I maade a dummy round out of it. Wish they'd included more.

[Bad Water Bill]

Dad brn it Girty bin letn dem gremlines outa der kage agin. :bigsmyl2:

The black helicopters wanted a sample of your fired brass,


Never understood why Perot was lambasted over his black helicopters comments. I have seen a large hangar full of 'em in plain view with their mast mounted sights, doors wide open at a Naval Air Facility in the Imperial Valley. These must have not been the secret ones.

Carry on with your tinfoil hats.

I saw the same story in the National Inquirer. Their conclusion was that Elvis stole the brass and it was used to shoot his TV when practicing quick draws with Matt Dillon while watching Gunsmoke.

[GL49]

MT Gianni is correct. Gremlins.

When the underling gremlins report back to the gremlin king at the end of the day, they score more points by playing tricks on older folks. Points scored is directly proportional to your age. Got it?

[.45Cole]

Don't touch it when you find it!
I'm a victim too, somethin's been stealing my underwear...
probably the same guy...
probably the same hiding spot.

[stephenj]

Dang dirty gremlins ....
They struck again .... sometime yesterday they snuck in emptied out every single case
And to top it off the little $&@&#&3's dirtied up my revolver

Time for a new guard dog

[Crawdaddy]

The extra has micro stamping technology built into it. It was placed there by ATF and now every time you fire it your boolit will be traced.

The NSA scandal has spread to ATF.

[TXGunNut]

Happens every time I tumble brass in the dryer. You'll get used to it. ;-)

[DLCTEX]

I used to see the black helicopters around here in the spring. No numbers or any other ID on them. Then the gov. stopped spraying the wild marijuana, as no one wanted the old fashioned weak stuff.

[Bad Water Bill]

100 years ago my town had a large hemp factory.

That clickity click sound was the seeds being thrashed as the trains came into town and the seeds fell on both sides of the track.

Yes they still spray.
