I remember seeing the promos for that, never did watch it. Maybe I'll check it out now that it can be binged instead of waiting for a new episode every week

Yet another installment of...."As Rich's Reloading World Turns"...
I was at Cabella's in Gainesville yesterday for the first time in more than a year and only the second time ever. I was in the area so decided to drop in. Wandered around the gun area for a while, perusing the reloading section. I was surprised they did have some reloading stuff. No powder or primers, but they did have quite a few dies, some actual presses (Lee & Hornady single stagers), quite a few bullets, lots of accessories. They actually had a box of genuine .338 Lapua brass (of which I have no need). But....it cost $329 for a box of 100 shells. For crimany sakes man!
Another shopper walked by and asked "Any Primers?. Yeah right buddy. Then a clerk walked up and asked what were looking for and the other shopper said shotgun primers. Clerk said "I just got some in", so I asked about Rifle primers and he asked if I were psychic because they just were unloading a truck outback that had the first rifle primers of any kind he's seen in 9 months.
They only had Federal Large Rifle Magnum, but I bought a brick for $73. They limited me to just one, but I would have only bought one, cause other folks need them just as bad as I do, and I don't shoot as much big uns as I do the little uns.
I then asked if they had any rifle powder and the guy says "What are you, psychic?" Just got some in....SO, I bought 2 pounds of CFE223 which is the only rifle powder they had and limit to 2 pounds. Never used the CFE before. I asked why they didn't have it on the shelf and he said it never makes it to the shelf - they get it off the truck and don't even get it unpacked before people start asking about it. I guess my "twinge" to go in that day was a good one.
Went home and loaded up 10 rounds of 26gr of the CFE (on the lower end of the data). My press is still set up for 223 so only had to adjust the powder drop. Test fired those ten - all fired well.
Bumped to 26.5 and loaded 25 more. Test fired in two guns all flawless. Went back and loaded about 200 more.
Twas a good day in the reloading world. :)

While I was at Cabela's wandering the gun area, I noticed they had about 10 employees working the gun area. At least 6 of them were helping customers purchase guns. I noticed a group of 4 young people (let's say young twenties) talking to one clerk and filling out paperwork - one of the young ladies was purchasing a semi auto hand gun. I wondered if she had any experience or training and heard her ask "does it come with any bigger bullets or just the one size?" I looked at the clerk and he smiled at her and said he'd help her get the right ones. I walked away shaking my head....hoping he hadn't sold her a chrome plated 45 to start her off. Okay, I know it wasn't (chrome, at least) - I saw it sitting there and it was a black semi auto of mid size, so hopefully a 9mm or 380 or something. She was a very petite young lady. I realize everyone starts somewhere with their first gun, but I wondered at the salesmen and his thoughts of selling the young lady a gun she obviously knew nothing at all about. Hope she is wise enough to seek out some training.
