+Team Og Rof A Klaw Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 ...and found myself looking equally as much at ammo boxes, decon containers, and powder containers as the top-billed item. My, how times change. Couldn't find any loopholes so I didn't buy anything. Quote
+Doc-Dean Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Loopholes for what?? How were the prices on the boxes and containers?? Quote
+Team Og Rof A Klaw Posted December 22, 2003 Author Posted December 22, 2003 About the usual surplus catalog prices but no shipping needed. (OTOH, there was a $7.00 admission and I had to drive 60 miles to get there.) Had .50 caliber boxes, plus some really huge ones. Quote

(OTOH, there was a $7.00 admission and I had to drive 60 miles to get there.) Had .50 caliber boxes, plus some really huge ones. So if you factor in the admission, gas and time spent... Still would have been cheaper to order on-line? That bites! Quote

So, the price might not be that bad after all. Quote
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 I don't particularly care for the gunshows around here, because it just doesn't seem worth $9 to get in if I'm going to do little more than oogle at the .50-cal rifles and watch the Dillon Precision videos. Besides, nobody can beat the price I get them for.... FREE Quote

Shot 100 rounds and all were great. they were loaded in 1982. Chances are yours are ok Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 I get Dillon catalogs and need to learn how to reload. So out of the two things of interest, one I know nothing about ,and the other well, I don't know much about that subject either. Quote
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 I seriously need a Dillon reloader. But fttb, Remington .40-cal 100-packs for $14.97 isn't a bad deal. A friend of mine went to a garage sale not too long ago, and picked up a bunch of dyes for $1 each for a Dillon reloader. All the major calibers and some specialty ones too. It's kind of cool having Dillon Precision in town. Quote
Captain Chaoss Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 Lets see, um, ah, ok, I got it ! Guns and reloading supplies are found in Iraqi CACHES. These of course are not acceptable in Official Groundspeak caches. whew. Is that on topic ? Quote

These of course are not acceptable in Official Groundspeak caches. whew. Is that on topic ? I think the topic was ammo cans and other cache containers at the gun show. But I can see how re-loading could tie to geocaching after reading the thread on what to take caching. Guns seem to be pretty high on the list for some folks. And if you have a gun you need to practice shooting, so that uses ammo, so you need to re-load to hunt caches! Say goodnight Gracie. Good night Garcie. BTW you can polish a turd, but it will still be a turd. Quote
Captain Chaoss Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 BTW you can polish a turd, but it will still be a turd. But will it maintain that high luster, or do you need to lacquer it afterwards ? Does laquering cut down on the offensive odor ? Nice Jeep pic. Yours? G'night Gracie. Quote

(The tlc part of rusty_tlc) Yeah it's mine. 1975 Toyota FJ40 built before they whuusied the landcruiser series up. I'm looking for some new desert water bags, think they could be found at a gun show. (Keeping on topic. ) Quote
Captain Chaoss Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 Lol. Whoops, my social Faux paus on the Land Cruiser mis-ID. Send me a full size pic, if ya got one. Looks sweet. My cache cruiser is a 94 Wrangler, 4' lift, 31 tires. Lined, so water doesn't matter. Few engine mods so far, but more on the drawing board if money ever starts growing on trees. Anybody got co-ords to a money cache ? Quote

Cholo Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 I used to reload back in college... Think the loads are still good 10 years later?? About 40 years ago I bought a $10 Lee loader and tried to reload 12 gauge shells. They wouldn't fit into my gun. I decided to forget about reloading. Did I make the right decision? About that same time, the International Scout caught my fancy. One couldn't just go into a car dealership and make a trade- in for one of these. Considering the success of Blazers, Cherokees, Explorers, etc.; I'll bet there are Harvester execs kicking theirselves. Quote
