A really good day poking around in my garage.
« on: June 02, 2022, 06:07:38 PM »
For the past two years I’ve had this nagging feeling I had lost something in my garage.  Today I braved my disability and went digging in some plastic storage boxes.  I opened one that I could tell was full of plastic pistol cases, with a cardboard box on top of them.  To my delight I discovered where I had hidden 5000 federal 205 primers that I had bought and squirreled away before becoming disabled, at the beginning of COVID hitting the fan.  Now to find another box I’m sure is in the garage somewhere.  Possibly has powder in it.

That's a neat feeling.

The stuff was never really lost.  It's just been there waiting to be found/used.

"Found" a couple 500 bullet bags of 150 grain FMJ flat based bullets (.30 caliber) in the old shed one day.  I'd bought several (oh, to see those prices again  :)) and used some of them loading up all that .30-06 brass for the M1 Garands.  Later (some months later) I was re-organizing the cabinets/shelves and when I moved the repurposed bread shelf I found two of the 500 bullet bags under the bottom shelf.  Awesome feeling.  Puts a smile on your face.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

Found some extra supplies the other day, myself.

Still looking for the 500 Hollow Base Wad Cutters special ordered from Berry for side-by-side testing. They are proabably lost "forever"... and won't show up again until I order more !

A feeling I have almost daily. 4.5 car garage and promised my wife there will always be room for her car - some days there is not ;-)
When did it change from "We the people" to "screw the people"?

Why use 911 when it's faster to use 1911 or 9mm?
