While the AR platform is fun to shoot, if you enjoy reloading the Thompson Center Contender and Encore platforms can be loads of fun.

Lots of wildcat case forming to play with. 357 Mag converts to 256 Win Mag. 30/30 converts to 30 Herrett, 357 Herrett, and 7-30 Waters. Tons of other fun conversions.

On the AR side, my two rigs are both SBR with suppressors. 300BLK and 9MM.

I sold one of my Colt Pythons years back. Wish I still had it. Both were 6" blued, and I figured nobody needs two identical ones...

Another current favorite is a Marlin 1895 Cowboy Limited 24" in 38/357. Lots of fun to plink with.

A couple of the main reasons not to post serials were always 1) not wanting govt to tie the number to you if it wasn't already, and 2) people turning in the number to their police dept as stolen. They could then say they saw you posting it for sale and you lose it if you can't provide proof of purchase.

I always thought both were pretty far fetched scenarios, but those are a couple of the reasons used regularly.

Dillon 650 is a nice machine. I've had mine for 15-20 years I think. I use both rcbs summit and Lee classic cast presses too. I load for about 30 different cartridges currently.

The 7mm tcu mentioned above is one of them. 256 win Mag is another neat round.

Those Sig 938 and 238s are nice. Had a 238 carry for a while till I traded it for a pin.

Carry a 1911 officer now. A bit bigger, but I like it.

Shot the brother's Ruger No 1 in 458 Lott this weekend. Damn that thing thumps.

We sighted in a couple other rifles to get him ready for an African safari coming up in a few weeks. Nice way to spend the 4th.
