Next Week on Gun Nuts: The Next Generation

I want to continue to promote next week's show on Gun Nuts: The Next Generation because I think it's going to be one of our best shows ever. Remember the ultra-long thread(s) at Snowflakes in Hell where the topic of extremism in the pro-gun movement was debated at length?

Next week on Gun Nuts: TNG we're going to be talking to Sebastian of Snowflakes in Hell, as well Kurt from Armed & Safe. While this won't be a traditional style debate like you'd see from political candidates, we're going to be having the gentlemen mentioned above discuss both sides of the issue, as they represent relatively opposite ends of the pro-gun movement. Squeaks and I will be neutral, keeping our opinions to ourselves and will really only serve to ask questions and drive the conversation.

The original thread at Sebastian's had like 200 comments or some ridiculous damn number - a lot of that comes from the fact that we as pro-gun activists are extremely passionate about what we believe, which is why I am really excited about next Tuesday's show. You can tune in live at www.blogtalkradio.com/gunnuts - Tuesday at 11pm Eastern time!

Another plug for tonight's show, where we'll be discussing carry in the House of the Lord on Gun Nuts: The Next Generation. Tune in live at 11pm to listen to the show!

Again, tonight's show is going to be very listener driven - a lot of us "gun nuts" are also church goers, and as such this is often a divisive issue amongst our community. Additionally, quite a few states bar concealed carry in churches, so we'd like to hear from those people as well. The call in number for the show is (347) 539-5436, and we'll both be live on Google chat, I'm admiralahab @ gmail dot com, and Squeaks is squeaky.wheel.seeks.grease @ gmail dot com - additionally, if you're listening live at www.blogtalkradio.com/gunnuts you'll be able to live chat in the custom chat room. While we may not read every chat live, we do keep up with them.

Again, tonight at 11pm Eastern, Gun Nuts: The Next Generation will be talking about carrying in church. Call us at 347-539-5436!

Tomorrow's Show: Guns and Church

Tomorrow on Gun Nuts: The Next Generation we will be talking about the issue of guns in church, in light of the recent church shooting in Knoxville.

Tune in live at 11pm Eastern, or download the podcast. This show will be very much listener and comment driven - even in the pro-gun community the topic of carrying guns in churches is hotly debated from both a legal and theological standpoint.

Gun Gear: Lee Classic Loader

I bought the Lee Classic Loader kit in .45 Colt as part of my birthday giftcard splurge - I mentioned at my blog that I was getting into reloading. I had my first opportunity to use the Lee Classic Loader yesterday, and I have to say I was actually pretty impressed. To give you an idea, watch the video below.




When I was reading online reviews for the kit, I saw it referenced in more than a couple of places as the "whackamole" kit, which yesterday after smacking about 100 primers out and pounding shells into the sizing die, I totally get why they would call it that. That being said, I actually really enjoyed using this kit. One of the online reviews said that "unless you want to meticulously hand craft each one of your reloads, don't buy this kit" - to which I replied, "well, I do want to handcraft my reloads".

After using it for a while, the thing I realized is that you have to develop a rhythm and/or a system for it. Instead of loading one round at a time, I did it in groups of five - knock out five primers, size five cases, etc. That allowed me to keep a consistent rhythm going and "get in the groove". Seating bullets, resizing cases and all that was relatively easy - the nice thing about it is that once you get three or five done, you develop a feel for it, which makes things go even faster. Obviously it's not as fast as a progressive, or even a single stage press, but for some reason there is something intrinsically appealing to me about reloading my cowboy cartridge like a gunsmith would have done in the 1800s.

The only complaint I'd have about the Lee Classic Loader is the seating of the primers makes me really nervous, because you're essentially whacking the primer with a mallet, which, uh...yeah. I might buy the Lee Autoprime tool to allow me to prime cases a lot faster, and would also eliminate the need for me to whack primers.

The bottom line though is that if you're looking for a low cost reloading solution, the Lee Classic Loader isn't a bad idea - for $20 you can get into reloading, and maybe release a little stress playing with the Bullet Whackamole.
