Yes but...that's just not sensational enough for today's press. Too many..... FACTS. It ruins the story. | ||

the guy filming the arrest, was infact arrested...but not for filming..he was arrested with a gun at a later time...and as for Illinois, you can film the police...the law against it was overturned. | ||

Prepare yourself to get/be really ticked about the thug that is no longer around. Don't watch it if you don't want to get pissed or upset. 99% sure it's him, certainly looks like it. http://youtu.be/S1pEW9olSSI | ||

http://nypost.com/2014/12/13/2014-is-the-year-of-t he-lie/ ( thank you Court ) "hands up don't shoot". Lie. Known lie, and they use it anyway. It is catchy... I prefer "Don't tase me bro". It's increasingly obvious that the bad guys are the same bad guys as they have always been. Slave owning Democrat party, allied with the Race War Revolution Commies, and the Green Party destroy Western Civilization bunch with twisted ( and insane ) support for the Islamofascists. Who will kill the leftists once they win..... like the leftists kill the students once they win, and the God Kings killed their slaves once secure in power... History rhymes, and I don't like the tune. That's why radicals like Thomas Jefferson started this Republic. Too bad we didn't keep it. | ||

Hoarding all the honey-roasted almonds again? | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Yep. Spooled up another 200 this weekend. | ||
| D_adams |
Lol, I did up about 1700-1800 the weekend before. Picked up another 1k in supplies Friday, plus scored a little over 1k in .22's at the same time. Almonds, pecans, macadamia, whatever. It's not hoarding, just temporary storage. | ||

Single stage nut cracker. 1700 almonds would take 1500-2000 hours. My daughter was helping me. | ||

The Lee Turret nut cracker is a huge upgrade in speed for a pretty reasonable price. Not perfect, but very easy to live with. Budget in a powder cop die to make sure you don't get an almond without any honey. My kids learned to run and hide whenever I had the single stage nut cracker running, they knew they could get drafted.  | ||

(Oh, and it's the Lee Classic 4 hole turret nut cracker, haven't tried the other models, but they look like downgrades to me. The classic will do many "long tree nuts" as well as "hand tree nuts".) | ||

Considering investing in a progressive nut cracker? | ||
| Reepicheep |
Not me. I am thrilled with my turret nut cracker. I got to spend some serious time with a Dillon 1000 nut cracker, cracking .45 inch wide nuts. It was uber cool to be able to crack about 2000 nuts over a three hour period. It was uber ---UN--- cool to discover that about half way through that process, part of the powder dispenser bar partially broke, and I was getting half charges of seasoning on maybe one out of 50 cracked almonds. Sigh. And it was even uber-er-un-cooler to have to *uncrack* 2000 nuts using a nut puller whacking away on the basement floor to salvage the nuts. The Lee Classic Turret 4 hole almond maker with a powder cop die in one of the 4 holes is as fast as I am willing to go. Any faster, and I just miss noticing any bad nuts. | ||

Now that I'm a member of a gun club and shooting more, I have considered a nut cracker. Any recommendations? I would mostly be cracking 9mm, 30 cal and .223 nuts. My brother in law reloads and says I should just bite the bullet, and buy the best nut cracker I can afford. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I'd suggest starting with a single stage and working up. They don't cost that much, and it's nice to have a single stage in addition to the "Big Unit". Learning on a turret or progressive is possible, but harder for the inexperienced to troubleshoot issues. I do 223, 308 and 300. Every time I load, I learn something new. The only real benefit of the progressive is throughput. | ||

In hindsight, I wish I had started with a Lee Classic Turret, lee dies, and an ebay electronic scale (.1 grain accuracy, $29 or something). Its more or less a single stage press but with an auto indexing turret. A bit harder to manage than a single stage press, but not bad. .223 inch almonds would be about as big as I would want though, when you get into bigger bottle neck almond shells, particularly old military almonds, you need an insanely stout press (like the Nutchucker, at least for the initial full length sizing). | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
The turret would be a great compromise. The biggest hassle with the single stage is needing to swap out dies. You lose your setup and have to reset everything. | ||
| D_adams |
Listen to your brother-in-law. At a minimum, Dillon 550b. Capable of 500+ nuts/hour, although I only do about 300 or so myself. I do .40, .45 and .223 right now, it's capable of 160 different size nuts though. I did 500 each of .40 and .45 the other day, the rest in .223, maybe 750-850 of them anyway.  | ||

I've got a Lee Turret nut cracker. It offers much of the convenience of a progressive, but can also be used as a single stage cracker. When I'm doing .223 nuts that need to have the primer pocket swaged, I will set it up as a single stage. When I get things set up right doing 9mm or .357 nuts, 200 nuts per hour is withing reach. Slower than a progressive, but it does give you a chance to peak at what's going on as a QC measure. I wouldn't hesitate to suggest a progressive press as a first nut cracker. |
