Fair points by Kutnupe14, GBuck, and IndyDave1776. My problem with the "self-destruction" argument can be summed up by my stance on seatbelt laws. If I choose to not use my seatbelt, that can be said as self-destructive and short-sighted. If I were in an accident, my risk of bodily injury...
You're being dismissive but if drugs were legalized, how would they differ from other legitimate businesses? When was the last time Microsoft started taking shots at you? If you disagree with a premise then type a rebuttal.
I have to respectfully agree with jdwhitak. Civil forfeiture laws are being interpreted more and more loosely. If you've been following the threads on this topic, just a week ago there was a guy in tennessee who had $20,000 in cash confiscated from him. The cop didn't have to implicate it in...
I feel like I would need an awful good review from someone I trusted before dumping that kind of money into that. Although, if it works, it would be amazing to have.
There is a local range that will sell 5 gallon buckets of unsorted brass for $35. A friend of mine and I split the cost of 3 buckets, sorted them, and then appropriated each caliber according to who needed it most (defective, berdan, 22LR, steel, and aluminum casings were scrapped). The first...
It's not immediately obvious why civil forfeiture applies to the OP's article. In the first paragraph, there was a link to the original Huffington Post article reporting the whole incident. I read through the whole thing and it didn't mention that the man's money was seized until the last...
Don't get any false sense of security just because we're in Indiana and not in Illinois or Ohio. According to the Institute for Justice, Indiana gets a disappointing C+ when it comes to civil forfeiture laws.

For safety reasons, it's a reasonable demand that the range make known its rules to all patrons. When I go to a new range, I keep my head on a swivel and keep an eye out for signs with the rules on them. If at any point I am told or I see a sign that says something along the lines of "Pick up...
Do they make those children's rackets in different mesh sizes? Just a thought, since they're $2 you could theoretically make a bunch of them to sort your brass.
Oh come now, you can still use the casing if it's berdan primed. Just use these instructions:
Decapping:
Method 1 - Use a berdan decapping tool to dig out the old primer.
Method 2 - Machine a metal rod to the proper width so that it can slide down into the neck. Fill the casing with water and...
Whenever it is, I hope I can make it. I'm always looking to talk about reloading with anyone who has more experience than me (which is probably about 90% of reloaders).
Here's a bit of physics to help you understand what is going on. Here is the equation for the kinetic energy of a moving object (i.e. a bullet):
E = 1/2*m*v^2
You can see that if you double the mass of the bullet (m), the energy (E) will double. If you double the speed of the bullet (or...
