      Food buckets?

      How do you know you have put in enough to 1) Absorb all the oxygen in there and 2) To absorb any oxygen infiltration for the duration of storage?

      New starter reloading kit vs Buying used press and buy the rest piece by piece from amazon/ebay to complete a kit

      The kits tend to have things you will not use. So buying a used press, and picking up what you need tends to be cheaper. As others have pointed out, you have to decide why and what you are reloading. If you are going to load a few rounds for hunting, or even just some long range rifle rounds...

      List of barter items in SHTF

      .22 LR ammo. Cheap enough to trade in small amounts (like change), small and cheap enough to stockpile a LOT. Usable by many.

      Food buckets?

      Vacuum seal them in mylar bags, then in a bucket flushed with nitrogen or CO2.

      Food buckets?

      This. Even if you look at Mountain House packages, they are "multiple servings" but in their boxes and buckets, they give you one pouch per meal, which is good. ReadWise and several others count one serving per meal, so only about 1000 calories per day. Basal number is a minimum of 2000...

      P365 Extended Magazine Releases (You need one)

      I just switched mine to use my trigger finger. And figure if I have to reload, I am already dead. :)

      Having to log in EVERY time I access the forum. And just now, this thread took me to the first post, even though I have posted several times. This is getting very annoying.

      PIA renewing Florida ccw

      I ended up not renewing mine, but when I did the original, I used a passport photo. And for fingerprints I went to the MSP office in the Bel Air MVA. They printed them on the card and signed them as LEO and they were fine.

      Don't count on American Airlines

      1) Delivery driver does not work for AA. They work for some delivery company. 2) A lot of baggage handling these days are not the actual airline, but the airport management personnel. I think at Dulles it is SwissPort.

      Forum Issues

      I am having a few issues with the "new" forum software. 1) At times, even though I have hit the checkbox to stay logged in, I am logged out. Sometimes this happens every time I access, other times it goes a while 2) Threads are not saving where I was in them. Threads I have read open on...

      Shelf Weight Loading

      The thing I would worry about is the shelves themselves. I think that over time the centers of the plywood will sag. You should put some cross pieces under them from the front rail and rear rail.

      Best Lead alloy for multiple uses??

      Lyman #2 is 5/5/90 So I would go with the 2/6/92, and possibly add a bit of tin. The antimony is for hardness. The tin to help the antimony mix in and makes it cast better. So being short on tin will just make casting a bit more difficult.

      Does less barrel length = less accuracy due to the shooter, or the barrel? (pistol length)

      Don't confuse RD with facts. He will go crazy trying to back pedal and claim he did not say what he said. And RD, the DEFINITION of HP is HP = Torque x (RPM/5225) So the point where the HP and torque are equal numbers is EXACTLY 5225 RPM.

      Target loads- where to buy online?

      I have never seen a true case of target shotgun shells. Always flats. And that goes back to the early 90s

      Does less barrel length = less accuracy due to the shooter, or the barrel? (pistol length)

      WTF?!. How does a longer barrel make higher pressures? Have you ever looked a pressure versus time chart? Highest pressure is right after ignition. Then pressure falls the entire rest of the time the bullet is in the barrel. Yes VELOCITY increases, as the pressure is working on the bullet...

      Need Recommendations for My Daughter’s 1st Handgun.

      As always, my advice is to take her shopping and let HER choose. Would you want her to choose for you? Renting at ranges is good to let her try out various ones.

      Illegal MD Firearms

      The interpretation from MSP is that if it reduces the flash, it is a flash suppressor. So some muzzle brakes could be. But how to tell for them to measure??????

      Skeet Shooting

      Google maps to measure distance. Shooting 150 yard away is not that loud.
