There are times in life when reality seems more like floating in a dream. One of those times for me was the trip I took with my wife last year to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon. I had seen pictures of these places before our trip, but I was really blown away at how […]
Let’s face it, some guns are more practical than others. A Glock 19 for range duty and carry is one of the more “utilitarian” gun values out there. An AR-15 pistol on the other hand- we’ll I’m not sure exactly what they’re for, but they sure are fun to shoot! Regarding versatility, the […]

One important thing to consider when contemplating a bullet feed system is – “How am I going to setup my dies and powder measure, and do I really have room and enough stations to make this thing work?”. Well, those are good questions, and this post will discuss a few different die configurations on the […]
