Wal-Mart: Smile Gun Buyers, you are now on Candid Camera!!

[Gunthr]

I'm wondering why walmart bashers are angry at walmart for providing products and services that people want?

Why not direct your anger at people who shop there? (the masses)

BTW, I experienced the escort from walmart Sporting Goods to the checkout when I bought a 23 dollar daisy bb gun for my daughter...  and I had a gun on me!  Don't worry about the camera thing... we are already on cam everywhere you go... it even makes sense from a practicle standpoint and I've no prob with it.  I do buy .22 and .380 ammo there and never had a problem... just good prices.

the only thing that would be worse than shopping at walmart would be being a cashier there... with the endless, non-stop lines of willing customers buying well-priced products in their neighborhood.

It is good to keep that in the back of your mind... the only firearms destroyed that I have seen so far have been from factory ammo tho..or.. in my case.. a bad lot of powder.   one was remington ought six rounds that injured a guy who works for me.

I load on a single stage press and do every step one at a time.   I don't load 500 rds an hour like the progressives do but I have had a very safe loading experience.   The las thing I do is dump powder and seat bullets.    Pretty hard to overload doing it that way... dump into case.. add bullet and run through press... I usually have about a thousand rounds of various calibers that are sized and primed and ready for powder and slugs.

Time is still a factor..  if you have none then it is not worthwhile to reload.  it takes about an hour for 150 rounds or... three boxes but only half an hour to put primer and bullets.. the last step.. all the steps can be done when  time permits.

Way back there when I first started reloading for my "Fur getters" I used a simple little Lee Loader.
On my favorite powder loads I had shell casings with spent primers trimmed down and brazed to 16 penny nails for handles. Each was trimmed down to hold the exact weight in powder. It was slow but very enjoyable. It also insured safety.

my first loader was a lyman tong tool.. looked like a nut cracker.. it only neck sized.. for powder I had lee dippers and you carded off the excess.. I loaded thousands of rounds of 38 special for my K38 masterpiece with that rig..  it worked fine but every 5 times or so you would have to get someone to full length resize the cases.. I had the machinist at work bore a hole in some stainless and that worked for full length sizing for a while.. just lubed em up and drove em into the hole with a wooden mallet.. out with a dowl.

You can make reloading tools even today but..  I have an old RCBS rockchuker single stage that I am am afraid to say how many rounds have been made with since about 74.
