Toby Keith "American Soldier". Dennis Leary sang my theme song, (seven letters for an orifice we all have, same as opinions) minus the American flag, public toilets and non biodegradable Styrofoam. Then there's Mac Davis's "It's Hard To Be Humble".

There were so many that were acceptable at the time they were produced. The movie MASH and the early episodes of the series. Irony was the show was to some extent a political statement on the topics of the time but wouldn't be acceptable now due to the current politics of the time. Blazing...

UUUPER, We're not competing, just having fun when the extended family all gets together. A few years ago I bought a box of shells, a box of clays and a hand thrower on a whim to see if it would take. It took and pretty hard. At time's well have 8-10 people shooting. It's turned out to be a...

Thanks for the info. I'll be referencing this when I get ready to start.

ScottJ, My wife lived out of the country for several years and Ibiza was one of her favorite places.

benstt, Trust me, there are things in Iraq that would make you unhappy. Decided early in the first tour that I'll never complain about the heat again until it's over 120. The rainy season sucks, mud sticks to everything. Dry season sucks because of he dust and sand. Of course someone will...

Don't have any digital pictures, only 35mm, but do have pictures. City of Babylon Iraq. Interesting to actually be there after always hearing about Babylon. Interesting structure and design. Ziggurat of Ur also in Iraq. The Zig was interesting in itself, built around 4,000 B.C. but there...

I'm a fan of 5.11 stuff and wear the 1.75" Operator Belt as a duty belt at the fire department and have worn it in uniform when I was still in. Great all around belt designed for people that wear a lot of stuff on their belt. https://www.511tactical.com/operator-belt-1-34-wide.html It has a...

On my first tour I saw quite a few Iraqi tanks that had their turrets separated from their chassis. Had been a medic in a M1 Abrams Battalion and had a chance to load it and even fire a couple rounds before they were taken away. They were, and especially upgraded, are a Beast! Felt rather...

Having grown up on a farm we've had to deal with a variety of critters. The Ruger 10/22 was always a good choice along with the 12 gauge pump. If it wasn't close enough for one of those, coyote bothering the cattle, etc., the Remington .270 (zeroed at 200 yards) worked real well. Always...

Guys, thanks for all the thoughts, views and input. The Lyman reloading manual is on my reading list and with your reactions I think the MEC loader will be a good choice. Not going to be getting to it for a little bit, busy between work, work and projects at home. Same reason I haven't...

Bassbob and Tenbones, Hadn't heard of a shot shell heater and I'm sure quite a few other things. What else would you recommend for an initial set up to get started? Looking at the link I posted is there anything else you would recommend regarding initial purchases? More importantly, what...

Greetings, This forum is rather informative and as such I am seeking some information and input from those that are experienced in reloading. My family has started shooting clays when we get together and we can easily go through a couple hundred rounds in a day. As a result I'm considering...

Purchased a set of Caldwell E-Max Low Profile Behind The Neck and really like them. Actually got two sets because my Dad was looking for something to use when cutting wood. Chose these because I don't like wearing hats or having anything on my head and they were reasonably priced for the first...
