I will stick to a brief rant.
« on: February 03, 2017, 12:25:04 AM »
Having followed this forum for a while now, and LEARNT a lot!!!, I feel compelled to make a comment.

It just seems to me that a Lot of Folks on this forum just really make their own lives difficult in their reloading experience by using weird stuff.

This includes odd bullets that are possibly cheap, heavy, cast, save a penny~, odd profile.

Powders that are less than desirable for ease of use and compatibility with said bullets.


9MM is not real forgiving to start with, make your own life easier by getting the junk out of your system. Then enjoy shooting more with less grief!

Well, since this is a short rant thread, I'll mention mine.

My pet peeve is people who are too cheap to buy a loading manual, or multiple loading manuals, but feel perfectly comfortable jumping on a forum, any forum, and ask a bunch of anonymous strangers, using aliases, "what's a good load for my gun using "X bullet" and "Y powder"? 

The other half is those who own legitimate reloading manuals, but are too lazy to open them and/or work up a load on their own.  They expect someone else, again a faceless, anonymous stranger, to do all the work for them.

When I'm setting off high pressure vessels at the end of my arm with a handgun, or next to my face in a rifle, the last thing I'm going to trust is data posted by someone I've never met, will never meet, and I don't have a clue who they actually are.  Who knows, the guy posting the data may be the same guy who thinks it's funny to remove the ROAD CLOSED sign just down the road from the washed out bridge......

There, now I feel better, too.

Ok. ....
-  I have a face - you just don't WANT to see it!  And...
- "ROAD CLOSED" signs are better to fix rusted out floor pans when the hole is too large that your neighbors license plate is too small.

Sorry, had to do that.

If it goes "boom" or "vroom" I'm intersted.

Yeah! Detox - purge the system of impurities. Makes sense. Junk in/junk out. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken poop!

Stop signs are more plentiful. That's what we always used. O0

When I saw the title.... I will stick to a brief rant

I thought for sure this was going to be a thread about underpants.

You don't know what you dont know until you know that you don't know - then you know what you need to know and you can set about seeking to know what you don't know.

I was initially opposed to your "rant". But then I saw those other dissidents firebomb a local Starbucks Coffee shop and that changed my mind. You go right ahead an rant all you want, brother.

Please, get it off your chest.
