Re:Water Cooler March 30- April 5

Ed loading your own ammo is fun and the only way to get a really good group out of your weapon. It is a heck of a lot cheaper too!. Let me know if you are interested and I will help you get set up in it. I may even have a used press here i can let go to my buddy cheap <br><br> I also have a barrel full of brass, I can clean you up a mess and send it to you as well. No kidding loading your own rounds is the ONLY way to go!

Re:Water Cooler March 30- April 5

Mornin', monday's ...But on the good note, I HAVE THE DAY OFF, PAID!!! ;D...Sorry about that, had to do it. Yes it is a holiday in alaska for us Government employees, it is called SEWARD'S DAY..... Yes we celebrate the day that this very little town (pop.1000 maybe) was born into the state. Blah, Blah, Blah, just pay me and I will go play! ;D The sun is out and about again today, I am off to Anchorage (1hr drive south) to a buddies house and steal his computor (i.e. he has the big buck software) and get the new site up and going. You all have a nice day and I will poke around in here later to see if you all are behaving yourself's!! 8) :<br>

Re:Water Cooler March 30- April 5

Ed, <br><br>Top is correct, reloading is the only way to go. Initial equipment can be a bit pricey depending on what you are loading for, but after that you can save half or more on a box of ammo.<br><br>This weekend’s match was good, well Saturday was good, Sunday got rained out. We did our 200yd work Saturday (offhand and sitting). Supposed to do our 300yd and 600yd work on Sunday (prone rapid and prone slow). Wind and rain put a damper on that. Couldn't get the pasters to stick and the glue wouldn’t hold the centers to the targets. <br><br>If you need .45 brass, let me know. I think I have two 5 gallon buckets full in the garage (most of it is match brass). Also, been reloading for about 25 years now, if you need help or have questions, let me know.<br>
