Never substitute alternative primers. There are a lot of counterintuitive rules in reloading that even seasoned reloaders may be ignorant of. We are fortunate that most guns are strong enough to withstand multiple over pressure events. https://gunsmagazine.com/discover/true-confessions/...

Don’t recall persecuting anyone here or elsewhere. My beliefs have little to nothing to do with “wokeness”. Rather, I am pointing out how silly it is to be so triggered by the buzzword of the moment. There is no a la carte ideology anymore. If you’re on the left you have to be all the way to...

Well that took a turn fast. I do believe I answered a question that was politely put to me by Jeff505. In my answer I think I specifically stated I do not think I’m changing any minds here. So let’s back that horse up. The topic of this thread was started by a longtime member of this site...

Thank you for the welcome and I do realize I’m pissing up a rope here. Don’t really expect to change any minds. Regarding conservation and limited government I think the definition of those terms have changed quite a bit over time. Conservation and management of natural resources and wild...

Raised in the south, but unaffiliated with any church, a very concerned woman asked my father how he expected to raise a decent child who would know right from wrong. He answered that he would tell me what was morally right and wrong based on general decency. She was utterly befuddled. I...

That’s just it. I don’t really want religion guided mores to legally define a “pervert”. When religion steers public policy, law abiding citizens that do whatever adults do when adults are alone, can suddenly be branded a pervert because somebody’s religious rule book says so. Can’t for the...

My bonifides are in hunting primarily in the Southern United States. I hunt deer and small game because everyone has given up on small game here and I get to be the only one in the woods. If I need to prove my gun-guy-ness, I use quite a few different calibers/cartridges because I like...

Thank you. Thank you for taking the opportunity to move the conversation forward, to dig deep and really make a difference. Gold star.

The tribalism and easy fear mongering. It’s a red herring meant to get conservatives worked up into a lather. To “be woke” is simply to be aware that social inequalities exist. Now what a person chooses to do and say with this knowledge is up to the individual. Just because being white has...

Just pointing out nonsense when I see it. There are quite a few people on this site who drink up conspiracy theories and ultra right-wing rhetoric like mother’s milk. There was a time that the tribe wouldn’t throw you out when you pointed out when a member was off their rocker. How critical...

Imagine you are an Uber driver. You are not a car guy, you are a transportation specialist… of sorts. You are an independent contractor scratching out a living doing what you love best; making money slightly more slowly than your car depreciates. Since you are not a car guy you take your...

No implication of stupidity. People, all people, are ignorant of some things and most of us of many. There are lots of top notch observers out there using their best logic to come to poor conclusions. Alarms start going off whenever I hear “common sense” or “logic” claims from anyone. How...

I do not think my reply was as clear as I thought it was. https://www.science20.com/the_conversation/hard_of_thinking_if_youre_bad_at_logic_logically_you_would_never_know-149244

Guess we could save a lot of money on science stuff and just logic our way into the future then.
