Took 2 hours out of today to reload 500 38spl's lead safe wadcutters.

that should get you thru a nite at BA, lol

I'll take two hundred.

I walked around for a few hours and got wet.

yah, i pulled one boat this morning and got wet.

 

did you see anything?

Nothing. It was a hike for the sake of a hike. Two weeks ago I cut a bunch of trails in the back. Just checked them out. Spent some time in the ceder swamp. Nothing great, but fun for me.

did the dog tag along?

Tony I'm not a reloader are those jacketed wadcutters ? who makes them and is reloading the same as regular wadcutters?

I still in the reading stages with my manuals.

did the dog tag along?

 

Indeed

He's a pussy in the rain unless you keep the mind occupied.

I'm looking at these http://www.filson.com/product/index.jsp ... age=family for him. Just to take the edge off.

Edit. I didn't type that.

thats a nice cover for him, same type of blanket they put on horses..

It's that rain. Got him knocking his knees. Unless he's doing something. He's still just a kid, turned one the day I turned 39.

colt is the same way, skinny little runt.. needs a few years on him to put on some weight. ruger is 4 so he is covered..

With the weeekend shaping up to be a wash out, I have some water lines to cut and solder, then I figure I can get 2000 rds loaded up. Will have to keep the kids busy.

HEH I keep finding guns on GB in Lakewood, I might have to drag you out of the house and then let you teach me how to reload ha

 

Good luck with that pipe crap, I stay away from two things, electrical, and plumbing. No and No

Easy and minor inconvenience. I try to stay away from taping, it takes too much to get my hand back, and I hate sanding.

I am a PEX convert.

 

I only work with Aqua PEX any more. I have both tool types. Every time we have a water problem at home...out goes the copper, in goes the pex. I could re plumb an entire house in about 4 hours and I'm not a plumber and actively hate plumbing. I'm not sure why anyone would deal with fixed joints and solder any longer when a much better solution exists.

 

To top it off, Pex can freeze solid full of water and not be harmed in the slightest.

There's still a part about copper that you just can't get with PEX (and I LIKE pex). Copper actively suppresses bacterial growth.

 

Just had the shore house done with PEX and a manablock system. Also used tracpipe for the gas...

The difference between PEX and Copper is very small when considering bacteria biofilm growth. The whole "scare" about it is from incomplete study data.

Never heard of pex, probably saw it though. I may have to look into it.

I pexed my whole house. Tim, if you go that route. I have the tools, you're welcome to them.

Thanks Jack, I may do that. Tomorrow is a quick tank removal and a new 18in piece. Only 2 elbows. But Tammy wants to redo the kitchen this winter and that will involve moving some pipes so Pex it may be. Time to start reading up on it.

 

Such a dilemma, research for a new rifle or research plastic pipe, that will not be a Spud Cannon. Also fun to build on a rainy day.

Labor is less, and if you use a manablock, you home run it. Materials are much much less.

Pex = crosslinked polyethylene. Been in use for a while, currently one of two products used for radiant floor (with an O2 barrier).

 

It's fairly easy to work with. Check it out:

Radiant heating PEX and Aqua Pex for drinking. Make sure you get the right one, Aqua Pex.

 

I don't notice any taste problems.

 

The tools to crimp are expensive. Two styles. One uses cinch clamps and the other is crimp rings. For standard half inch, you'll need one tool. The crimp rings I think are better but I'm sure it doesn't matter. When you're done clamping with that, it looks like a hydrolic fitting. I've never had either style fail.

 

To mate to copper you can easily adapt it to right to copper pipe with a solder on adapter or my favorite...compression fittings. You can also just screw an adapter into a brass T or value or elbow.

 

I have to work in a crawlspace so I crimp everything on before I crawl down. I get down there, feed it through, hack off the copper pipe...add a compression fitting...screw it all together and add water. Takes a pain in the a$$ job and turns it into 10 minutes of fiddling and tightening. No leaks. Freeze proof. Can't beat it.

aqua pex, the plumbers super hero..

1) Hydraulic

 

2) Crawl spaces SUCK.

 

3) Yes radiant and potable pex are different, but both are easy to work with.

And the word of the day goes to Dan, for POTABLE.

I disagree, we are skipping over the word of the day for the remainder of this week because I took the cake and got the word of the week with laziness

Matt has some PINK authority and he means to use it.

If only he LOOKED like PINK, he might possibly be able to wield that authority.

 

 

And for the record it wasn't laziness it was "lazism"
