60+ year old thread.

The only must thing is front and rear width spacing for the strings must be equal.
After that. Measure, measure, and measure again.. LOL

 

I like mechanical visuals

 

I bet you snuck off to see those cutaway drawings as a kid!

 

While the rest of us were stuck with the Sears catalog...

Or Nat Geo...

 

Yeup

 

That was your fault…

 

No issues with ants this year...so far.

Had problems with them in the past esp. with the Hummingbird feeders.

 

I'm okay with it.

 

Cut down on your cigarette intake, drink more beer, go camping, order your food to be delivered so you don't have to go out for awhile, don't answer your door.

 

i have 2 Dillon 550’s and 1 Dillon 650. It doesn’t help with the rim fire though. I’ve made 1200 rounds in one sitting 9MM before but rifle is usually 3-400 rounds a night max.

hunting rounds for big game 20-50 rounds a night.

I’m a hoarder so I have components to last for a long while.

 

I would not know, but that looks like a LOT of capacity!

 

Very impressive. I did some reloading 30 years ago but just didn’t have the time to really get into it. Besides ammo was relatively cheap. With the cost and scarcity of it now a days I wish I would have stuck with it.
A while back I needed to restock 38 spl, 357 mag and 9mm and a few others. Couldn’t find more than a box or two anywhere.
I drove to Utah to visit friends and stopped in numerous stores along the way. Hit the jackpot in Utah. Spent major $$$$ but got a load. Since this is California I won’t give any more details, I think you understand why.

 

Somewhere in this pile is Friday's project!



I just love getting big boxes delivered!

 

Save your brass and we’ll have a reloading day in the future. These machines will outlive us and components are cheap. Primers being the odd man out lately but not impossible to find.

 

You have peaked my interest ……

 

Too funny. We did the tent camping thing years ago. Seemed something always went wrong and it always rained. Coming back to our campsite one night on the Eastern Shore we startled an owl who took flight over the car. The owl was carrying a skunk that sprayed the car and we had to park 3 campsites away to avoid the smell. The worst time was at Virginia Beach. We drove down from NJ, set up camp, went out for provisions and when we returned there was a park ranger pacing back and forth in our campsite. My wife’s grandfather had taken I’ll and they were gathering the family in upstate NY. So we broke camp, headed back to NJ to drop off the camping gear then up to NY near Corning in a single day. And the last time we camped or ever will camp was near Wildwood NJ. I woke up on day 2 to find our campsite flooded from torrential overnight rain. Water was seeping into the tent through the zipper on the flap and the milk crate of firewood I had thrown a tarp over the night before in case it rained was floating. At that point we threw everything in the bed of my ‘86 Toyota pickup, tied it all down and headed home. We hung the sleeping bags out on a clothes line and pitched the tent in the backyard to dry out. My wife’s aunt stopped by with her two youngsters who thought the tent was a great playhouse. So i told them just take it home with you. They did, and I have not been tempted to go camping ever again.

 

Yeah, but what a great story!

 

Opinion. Mine. Open for discussion. No politics. The mass shootings that have taken over the News Hour more and more in recent years. Freedom of the press? Citizen's right to know? BS! All the Press is doing is entertaining the populace, and noteworthy, the future shooters. By providing gory details, names and pictures of the shooters, sometimes notes, letters, internet postings, the Press is providing tomorrow's shooters with a goal in life, no pun intended.
My opinion: Curtail the Press's freedom to publish information that essentially fulfills the goals of the shooters. No more smiling mug shots of disturbed individuals. No more names, no motives, no notoriety.
The Citizen's Right To Know has evolved into The Citizen's Right To Be Entertained. We have no such right, but we should have the right to not have been set up as targets by the creation of shooters by the Press.
I am well aware that this borders on Police State. It's a slippery slope and I have no glib answers. I only know that Freedom Of The Press needs tweaking.

 

My newer TV controller all of a sudden has stopped access to the daily news, only Netflix and Prime Video. Thank goodness!

 

Good morning all. Music lesson today and not much else. Early voting starts in MD tomorrow at 8am. I am a voting Judge so I will be online every other day for the next week.
