I can recall several incidents over 35 years. Most recently, a clown had to visit the ER to have part of a recoil spring removed from his face. Another mental giant blew an AR barrel about 15 feet down range. That's why you never have more than one powder on the bench.
I have one of the very early models, 93-94. Dillon over hauled about 8 or 9 years ago. Just before I returned it, I began flipping primers. The platform had warped over the googleplex rounds loaded over 20? years. Unless I try to push beyond about 3k without cleaning, any issues are on me...
Not familiar with that type ID. Are hours of access to base limited? If not, I think you're good. Here is a little info, including phone. https://www.myhurlburt.com/pdf/Periodic%20Updates/Rifle-and-Pistol-brochure.pdf
The Range Master is usually in the office Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays...
Prior service won't get you on base unless you have a DOD issued ID (retired, medical, etc). Contractors with unlimited access and civil service are authorized. Basically, if you can get in the gate WITHOUT a sponsor, your are golden. 100 and 200 for rifles. 5 to 20 for handguns. Volunteer...
I remember the first time I landed at Philly International. Ordered a Miller and laid a five on the bar. Barkeep gave me a nickel back. That was '92 - '93. That's nothing compared to Alaska.
Lots around...in specific areas. Aside for DOD/GOV, most is owned by a small percentage of the population. If you haven't read Forstchen's "One Second After," I recommend it. Obviously fiction, but well researched and an eye-opener of how things will most likely unfold.
If we should experience a "One Second After" type event, those selling ammo/components for exorbitant prices will wish they had it back. Cash will be useful for starting fires, but ammo will be priceless.
There is a well-known company that was one of the first to significantly raise prices after Sandy Hook. Couldn't tell you how many people have sworn to never utter the name again. Here we are eight years later, their prices are skyrocketing and they're as big (or bigger) than in 2012. The...
What idiot would pay five if it's available for two (rhetorical question)? I think that's the crux of the issue. Gouging (again, a BS term) requires cooperation on both sides.
When I was a youngster our church would have fundraisers to help send kids to summer camp. I remember walking...
I've followed a couple of these threads. Here's my nickel:
If I bought Apple stock at $1.00 per share. Should I sell at $1.00 when the value reaches $2,000.00? Something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. IMO "gouging" is a BS term.
I could probably sell half my stockpile at a...
