Yea, I just have a place for the 30-30.. When we we're kids my buddy had a sweet one. It was probably a Winchester. It was butter! I was stuck with my Grandads 410/22 over under. I remember being in the tree stand and hearing my buddy crack off a round. Minute later a little spike buck stumbled onto the trail I was setup on. (He was about done) I put a 410 slug in him anyway.  We we're probably 11 or 12 years old.  :rofl:

Reading your post made me think of an incident that happened when I was 14.  I was in the fields and woods hunting all day with my three best friends and then we camped out in the woods that night.  About 1am we were suddenly surrounded by three police officers.  We  had a .30-06 rifle, 12g shotgun, .22 Rifle, and a spear gun, all of them loaded. Again we were all age 14.  The cops were 100% cool.  They simply said they were concerned we might be vagrants.  They checked out the guns and told us to have a good night.

A couple years later at my high school just seven miles from the White House I brought my .30-06 rifle to school so I could work on bedding the stock in shop class. I kept in my locker most of the day. Nobody batted an eye seeing me slinging a rifle at school.

This was during the sane America.

Yep. Much simpler, sane times my friend!

I went to high school in fairfax county, there was a handful of us that were 18 our senior year when hunting season started. The school administration knew we hunted in the morning before school started and knew we didn't go back home to drop off the guns. The only questions we ever got asked was is if we got anything and would we share. This was well after MTV started, but when they still played music. My first pickup had a gun rack, and it did get used. I didn't have much choice because stereo components took up the space behind the seat.


Also my senior year, I took shop class. One day I made a wood bowl. Not a food bowl either. I was watching the teacher, he went to the other side of the room to help a kid and it looked like he was gonna be busy for a while. I'm half way done with the thing on the drill press and from over my shoulder I hear the teachers voice. Somewhat quietly he says I didn't know you did that. I said a little bit and that's the last I heard about it. Though the way things are these days that would probably be ok.

Rich, as you get more involved with reloading you will start to get different batches of brass. Some that has been reloaded once, twice, and more, even for the same caliber. You want to keep those separated because the brass does wear out. How many times you can reload it varies partly on how hot you reload it. The most I've done is seven reloads, but I'm always towards the top of the scale. If I was putting .38 loads into the .357 brass I might go 8-10 times, but that would be it as the brass gets work hardened and doesn't seal properly anymore or properly hold the bullet. I've seen quite a few revolvers get locked up when a bullet in a different chamber moves from the recoil and won't let the cylinder turn. I buy range brass too, stuff that's swept up at the range. But only for .40 and .45, and I only use it once after a careful examination before loading. Years ago range brass was free, before they figured out they could make money on it for very little effort.

I was just checking inventory on a few things. I've got just under 10K primers and about 3500 pieces of new unused brass of various calibers in stock. Unfortunately I've only got about 4K bullets on hand. But I do have more than enough .30 and .22 caliber ammo for the revolution that the socialist DNC seems to want.

Speaking of which, well over 72 million Americans voted for Trump in 2020. That is just about 10 million more votes than he got against hillary in 2016. These same 72M Americans own a vast majority of what the batfe thinks is 400,000,000 legally owned firearms in circulation in this country. That minor distinction is exactly how the batfe says it.. 400,000,000 legally owned firearms in this country, and according to the batfe, %25 of those are the AR platform. That's a hell of a lot of ARs, and the democrats think they can confiscate all of them, without starting a civil war
