Bitter was planning to come up this weekend, but Heller oral arguments are Tuesday, and all the cool kids are in town, and we got an invite to possibly have dinner with some of them, if there’s time, so here I am.
Went up to the BassPro in Arundel Mills Mall in Maryand today to pick up some powder and large rifle primers. Based on availability, I ended up getting Unique powder, and some Remington Large Rifle primers. Ended up picking up some shotgun ammo too, since I was there, and needed some. Rreloading will begin Monday when my dies all arrive.

Looks like Larry Suffredin is up to no good again:
Rabid freedom-hating zealot, Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin and the Cook County Board are conducting a telephone poll where callers can voice their opinion on ordinances which would close all gun shops as well as ban and confiscate most firearms owned by citizens of the county.
The number is 312-603-6400, and you don’t have to be a resident to call. It’s Option 1, Option 1 and then Option 2. Bitter and I called the line, and the call dropped first time I tried it. Give it a try and report in whether you have any problems. I think it’s important we help out folks in IL, and people like Chucks Gun Shop, who Jesse Jackson and Michael “Snuffy” Pfleger have repeatedly tried to shut down.

I’m going to start loading .44 Magnum and .44 Special. I’ll be doing this for silhouette shooting, so I won’t want a load that will tear my arm off. I already ordered 240 grain bullets. Heavy to ensure sufficient energy to knock over the animals, but I will be mostly shooting field pistol, so only out to 100 yards. So what would be a good .44 load? Good powder to use? Good primer to use? Should I be using a lighter bullet maybe?
Also, does it make sense to load 44 magnum brass as if it were 44 special? Or is that a no no?
