New members - please introduce yourselves here

I'm Steve from California. I'm a college student and go to CSUSM.

I open carry and advocate increased rights here as well as across the country.

My politics are a combination of panarchist and libertarian thought.

My two passions are firearms and cars, both because of the freedom involved.

Quality is my first priority. I don't care much about aesthetics unless they impart quality to the product in question.

I am a gun enthusiast and have just started to get into hanguns. I own a Ruger Mark III target pistol that gives me no problems but could use some tips on my S&W Model 60 revolver.

I enjoy following my sons football and soccer games and am a weekly photographer for a dirt track in the area. I also enjoy hunting, fishing and reading.

I look forward to any tips/advice anyone can lend.

Oh wow I just found this thread...

Anyways I found this forum the other day and wow I absolutely love it. This place has been a wealth of information as well as a good place for me to start spending some money :D.

A little bit of background on me... I'm a 21 y/o male from the gun loving state of vermont. I am currently a city boy but I come from all over. I have been really into shooting the last few years (mostly skeet) and have fallen in love with the sport, as well as the right to bear arms. I look forward to visiting this forum a lot and hopefully getting to know some of you fellow Gun Lovers.

Joined about a few weeks ago and bought my first fireard about 2 months ago and absolutely love it.
After comparing the Glock models with the Springfield XD models. i decieded to go with the springfield xd /45 acp with a 4" barrel. Absolutely love it. Going to get my ccw class done on april 5th...
Also found the best holster ever for IWB
the MTAC minotaur hybrid holster
cost about $80 only problem is my slide disassembly lever tore up the leather and i had to buy some leather ball glove conditioner to streatch out the leather a bit. Most comfortable holster i can ever imagine.
And it conceals great too. definately look into it.

Hello

I am new here, been looking through the forums for a while. Mostly I look for answers and ask few questions.
I am 36, I grew up shooting .303 brits (my first rifle) and .44 Pythons and Redhawks which explains my tastes in firearms.
I am married, 10 years, and have 4 kids, 9, 7, 3, & 11 mo's. I live in Southeastern South Dakota in the country and have my own, small, plinking/skeet range.
I own an 870 Express Super Magnum, a Yugo SKS, a Mossberg Model 342 .22.
I have a CCW but do not carry: 1. I haven't found a pistol I like yet, 2. I drive through Iowa, Nebraska, and the Omaha Reservation on my way to work, hence too many hassles to carry to and from work.
I teach math at a community college and am getting my Doc in Adult Higher Ed.
I like, and appreciate, milsurp rifles etc... enough that I am considering a C&R FFL in the near future.
My future plans include pistols in .40 semi-auto and .44 wheelgun, a boomstick along the lines of a mossberg 500, and rifles: mausers, springfields, enfields, of the .30 and 7.56 variety, of course I would not turn down a nice deal on a .300 Mag either.

If you haven't noticed yet, I am a bit long winded and don't plan on changing :D.
Ideologically I am Libertarian.
I enjoy older full size jeeps, chainsaws and cutting firewood for the furnace and fireplace, lawn tractors and implements, target & skeet shooting, and spending time with my wife and children.

One of these days I will take my uncle up on a hunting trip for deer, elk, and maybe bear.
 
Hello Everyon

Thought this was the best website with "serious" shooter, meaning when you have alot of people who have screennames from Sci-Fi movies or something, it makes you wonder. (I am a big Star Wars fan). Not trying to pick on people, need to have fun doing this, so I guess screennames should be fun. Most of what I have read is great, and seems everyone is very knowledgeable. Looking forwards to blogs and info.

Question #1 for the day: Reloading. When I see the cookbooks for reloading, for example, .223 I see different grains for different bullets from different makers. Ex. .223 (55 grains) from Barnes, and if you use H335, it'll say for a minimum load, you only need 23 grains. But for another bullet, same grain, it'll say to use 23.5. Along with that, they'll specify a certain brass maker, i.e. Remington or another. I thought if the grain for a caliber is the same, then you are safe to use the H335 minimum for most loads and the maker of the brass should not be an issue?? Hope I didn't conuse anyone.

Anyone have any load info for Lake City brass .223? Thanks Guys and Galls!!!

Great to meet you all....

Hello everyone. I've been lurking for about 2 months now, decided it was time to join.

I'm 40 years old and married with three kids, 15, 13, and 9. Started bowhunting at 13, and got into guns shortly thereafter. I have several rifles, shotguns, and handguns, but rarely hunt with them, I just prefer bowhunting. I signed up for a CCW class and started poking around here to find a pistol that I could carry, the Anaconda and Buckmark I already had aren't exactly carry guns. With info from you guys and other forums, I looked at a lot of guns, mostly new. Although I found a bunch that I really liked, I found a used SW 3913 for a price I could not pass up. Bought a case of 9mm, 5 mags, and a Desantis holster also. Class is coming up in about 3 weeks, and I'm heading to the range tomorrow morning to shoot the SW for the first time. And I'm already eyeing a couple other pistols... :D

Looking forward to joining the conversations.
