A good start to being able to ID these. Personally I think we should just dump the commercial and keep the milspec, just to reduce all the confusion, but here we sit..

I'm old, and I've been shooting and reloading since I was about 7.
I started depriming and sizing brass for my father with a RCBS rock chucker press (which I still have) have now primarily use a Dillon 1050, and several Dillon 550b(s)
I have been a shooter/member of IDPA and IPSC, though I'm not current, and I have not been to a competition in quite some time.
Lately I've been into shot shell reloading, and trap shooting.
A day at the range is better than…. well most anything…
Got a chance to head out to the range with some friends to try out some new stuff, mainly 6 new steel plates I picked up. Did a bunch of 300 yard stuff with small plates, and it was a BLAST. Some great gopro footage coming soon. Thought I’d be silly and film this one though…. Picking up the brass, before it hits the ground..
Went shooting…
Went shooting. Loaded 5 rounds for a 100 yard shot. Pulled the trigger one time. Dropped the mag and put the gun away. It just wasn’t going to get better than this. 308 FTW

Finally upgrade the Mech Jr to a Dillon SL900
After all these years with a rinky dinky Texan press, I finally upgraded to a Mech Jr press only to decide that wasn’t enuf. Today I stumbled across a deal and came home with a Dillon SL900 12 gauge reloading press. WOW! what a machine, its the rough equivalent of my Super1050, but for shotgun shells. Once tuned up, this thing will be able to make them faster than I could shoot them.
Guess this means the 870 and I will need to spend some time together.
At last, I’ve ordered my “one true love”
Anyone that knows me knows I’m a giant fan of 45acp, as well as AR15 style rifles. For years I thought a fantastic product would be the marrying of the two things, AR15 + 45ACP = AR45!. Several people have made them, with various success, but none ever really to my liking.
Spending just about the same amount as a “normal AR, these days”, I’ll have a fantastic pistol caliber rifle that uses 30 round grease gun magazines.

Very interesting (but not cheap) pistol cases
I’ve really grown to hate the Zombie marketing direction, but call it whatever you want, as long as it doesn’t have green Zs on it, and its cool. I’ll buy it.
New Direction for CaseCruzer
To quote:
The CaseCruzer Zombie Universal Quick Draw Handgun Case Series holds handguns and magazines in place inside individual slots. Rubber cushioned slots safeguard each handgun and keeps them shifting from side to side while in transit. Upper cushion design holds pistols in optimal position and prevents any upward movement. Shooting Range solutions also allow for accessories such as safety glasses, shooting earmuffs, ammunition, etc. to be stored. Handguns including most semi-automatic pistols fit inside the Zombie Handgun Series Cases, these must be longer than 7″ in overall length. Major brands which fit this criteria include: Glock, Beretta, H&K, Colt, Sig Sauer, Remington, Auto-Ordnance, Springfield, FNS, Ruger, FNH, Smith & Wesson Steyr and Walther. Cases are watertight and dustproof.
Awesome Patch
