Product Review – Gabriel Products

Play

Jim starts into a product review project for Gabriel Products Inc in this episode

Then he does a plug for The complete book of practical handloading by John Wooters, including reading a small passage from the forward of the book.

Then he drools over some advertising for Ft. Knox safes.

And Jim does his first shout out, for the Rimfire Podcast, and Ken Kowalski, who is on active duty in Afghanistan, literally listening to gunfire and impacting mortar rounds.

Shotshell Reloading Cost Calculator

Play

I wanted to see if i was going to to be spending more money reloading target shot shells than what i could buy factory ammo. now don’t say that i will defiantly  save money if i reloaded for high end ammo over buying that. cause i already know that and i don’t buy that expensive stuff other than self defense ammo and i will still buy self defense ammo over reloading it. and i don’t shoot expensive ammo when i go to the range to just put lead down range. so i wanted to see if i could load what i shoot the most which is Winchester AA light target loads. so i found some load data. and plug in all the data in this user easy calculator and press calculate, and that’s it. The software handles everything else which is sweet.  oh and check out the youtube channel reloading radio at this time there is no videos but there might be by the time you read this.
