re: Retiring early vs. never retiring
Posted by Bagger Joe on 9/4/20 at 1:08 pm
Depends on your job. If you are doing something that you enjoy, then stay with it as long as you want and your health is good. I already retired once and went back to work in the same field. Unless you can retire with enough money to do the things you want, retirement sucks. Everything you do costs ...

re: Reloading equipment help.
Posted by Bagger Joe on 8/7/20 at 2:13 pm
What bbvdd said. I also have a 550b and it is a great machine. I prefer the manual progressive over the automatic because I can control it. I can carefully load about 200 rounds an hour of 9mm and speedball 300+. Dillons are great machines no matter which you choose. As others have said, components ...
re: S&W Rant !
Posted by Bagger Joe on 3/4/20 at 1:21 pm
The key word there is 'new'. I don't own any S&W pistols but all my revolvers are prelocks. I haven't personally seen one, but a friend told me his nephew bought a new S&W revolver and some of the internals are plastic. I understand the QC on their handguns isn't as good as it once was. Kinda sad. ...
re: Who owns a 357 Magnum Revolver?
Posted by Bagger Joe on 3/4/20 at 1:10 pm
I have a few S&W revolvers and love them all! I have an old Model 12 that I carry sometimes. I have it loaded with 38+P rounds. If you are looking to shoot 357s, I would consider a L frame. ...

Had a chance recently to play with some O/U shotguns and was impressed with the Franchi. Balance was good and swung it well. Have a Franchi Affinity in 20 gauge that shoots really well. ...
re: Ammo Reloading
Posted by Bagger Joe on 2/18/20 at 9:11 am
I would also recommend starting with a Dillon. Their lifetime warranty cannot be beat. I have called them with questions before and they wound up sending me new parts. Great company to deal with. Check YouTube for some videos on Dillons machies and reloading in general. ...
Another Reloading Free Hazmat Deal
Posted by Bagger Joe on 2/18/20 at 8:35 am
Midsouth Shooters Supply is offering free hazmat on Shooters World Propellants. I have no personal knowledge or experience with this powder. Some people on another thread asked that we post if free hazmat deals became availible.

Ha! Thanks but I’ve gotten it figured out just fine. Some people who shoot pistol and rifle competitions reload to tune the round to their barrel. Working up loads for accuracy like that can be fun and rewarding. Somet...

re: Reloading Manual
Posted by Bagger Joe on 2/5/20 at 3:03 pm
If you don't figure in the cost of your reloader and everything else that goes along with it, then you are doing it wrong. You can't just add up the cost of the components to load a round and subtract that from off the shelf stuff and say you are saving money because you have an initial investment t...

Well then! Congrats on the new purchase!
Contrary to what people might think, reloaders don't reload to save money!

Yes. There are a few of us on here and we do enjoy talking about it. I'm a handgun loader myself so I can't add a lot of info about rifle. Loading a dozen or so rifle rounds just seems like torture to me. I loaded 500 9mm rounds this...
