Weshoot Incident
Yup, i applied about 2 months ago.. Still havnt heard anything. At the 1 month mark, i emailed just to make sure they received my application. I got a response that they did.. So its just a waiting game now i guess.. At this point im in no rush anyway. Its winter, and ammo is still crazy. Probably wouldnt want to go blasting through my stash right now.. The initial costs is a major decision in anyone joining. Its less than 15 minutes from my house and ive considered joining for the last 20 years and never did. Kinda wish i did back then when it was cheaper! The current 600$ initial fee (in addition to annual dues) is a big nut.. Im considering selling off a case of .45acp just to cover it to make it an easier mental pill to swallow...

The Last Forgotten Muscle Car
All those bases were covered in my circle of gear head buddies.. of course i was the slowest, but also was the most luxurious and class.... The GN and 442 G-bodies were very similar other than the motors. They were the only G-bodies to come with the 8.5 rear diffs.. 3.73 posi in the 442, 3.42's in the GN.. Surprisingly the Monte SS only had the 7.5 rear diff..

The Last Forgotten Muscle Car
definitley not muscle car era material, but i still have my 1986 Olds 442 that i bought at 21 years old in the spring of 93'... Fully loaded car, T-Tops and all... Thought it was fast and i was cool shit.. Quickly learned it was a dog in the performace department, but sure got a lot of compliments on it anyways... Ran atco tune and test nights a few times with it.. Never faster than a 16.3.. lol By todays standards, thats slower than most new economy cruisers..

Ammo increase in price
sorry, i should have been more thorough in my post.. Ive been acquiring presses and components for the past year and am VERY well stocked in everything i need to make my own ammo.. well, everything except time it seems.. I think its just more about the first time jitters. Hopefully within the next week and take my first crack it at.. Once i stock myself up on home brew ammo for most of my calibers, ill start unloading some of the factory stuff im sitting on...

Powder ID...
Wow! Amazing site!!!!! I had googled in the past hoping to find pictures of various powders and came up empty. This site is crazy useful for someone dumb enough to break the golden rule of not using someone elses open container of powder.... but theres those times when the source is just rock steady reliable; and then this site gives you a picture of the container and 10x pic of the powder with dimensions and colors...

MEC bottles and parts?
Anyone have a good source for MEC shotgun reloader bottles? Ebay seems overpriced for them.. Also heard of just using small soda bottles, but maybe someone has a better suggestion for a non-MEC bottle that works well and doesnt look to ghetto? Also, good source for small parts like the rubber grommets under the bottle, brass washer, charge bar mount screw, etc etc. I just scored another buyout of someone getting out.. Got two MEC 600's. one for 12ga, one for 20ga. Look complete, spare bars, lotsa bushings. Need bottles and thats about it. Probably gonna sell off the 12 ga one since i have a 650 progressive for 12ga.

Lil' treasure i found.. Details??
Not sure i want to sell it just yet.. Really digging it... the little bit of researching ive done it has all been very positive.. Found some posts on reloading and casting sites about the scale being on of the most accurate beam scales made, and similarly great comments on the powder measure. The press itself in known to be very heavy duty and well made too.. Now if some crazy nostalgic collector has a good chunk of money burning a hole in their pocket and made an offer that couldnt be refused, i mighnt be inticed to part ways with it...

Lil' treasure i found.. Details??
Yes, some of the very early presses were that way... By the time this one and the others like it rolled out, the changable shell holder had been pretty much standard.. These Bair presses are very similar and comparable to all the big name quality presses of that day, and the ones still produced today.. Im guessing this press kit i have hear is late 60's based on the price list i posted above. In 1972 this kit was $97.50, a good chunk of change back then! But the ink printing on this box lid from the factory has $89.00 on its advertising labeling. Definitly had to a good few years prior to the 1972 price of $97.50

Lil' treasure i found.. Details??
Actually, it included your choice of a die set when sold new; other tahn that, it is a totally universal press using standard modern dies. Heres a little advertising price sheet i found on line that garners some insight and info..

Lil' treasure i found.. Details??
Flea market find today... Bair 'Grizzly Bair" press setup in the orginal box. Even the lube bottle is full.. Appears to been barely used.. Didnt research ,uch yet, but did read that maybe Pacific bought them out, and then Hornady bought pacific. Need to do some more googling and reading, but seems to be a quality setup and has a strong following when they can be found. Anyone have a suggestion for a good reloaders only forum that would take interest in a thread on this find? Must not be too many around still in the original box and near new... Not sure what to do with it. Dont really need it as i have a Leyman T-mag turret press, but never hurts to have a heavy single stage either.. But may be worth more to some sort of collector than it is to me...? And info on this thing appreciated!

Big scores and deals thread!

Gonna start another thread to get some more info on it.. Quick little search seems company was bought by pacific, then hornady.. Even the lube bottle is still full... The winchester poster i couldnt pass up from another table. The old gent selling it for 3 bucks said hes had it a long time. Said he had it hanging in his college dorm in '72...
