Episode 43: Da Youtubez Volume 1

There's a lot of silly useless crap on Youtube, but there are some very valuable, educational, and entertaining channels out there.  Hopefully mine is (will be) one.

I was originally going to just have just one episode on the Youtube channels I subscribe to, but once again, fxhummel1's songs changed my plans.  I'm just going to highlight the channels in his song, "Youtube Gun Star."

Here are links to the channels he mentions in his song:

Episode 42: fxhummel1

I was originally going to make this episode about the Youtube channels I like, but got side-tracked by the user fxhummel1.  This guy, Jordan, is hilarious!  I decided to put my episode on hold for next time and give him the spotlight he deserves.  Jordan, thank you again for letting me share your songs!

Here's fxhummel's youtube channel:

Episode 41: Excitement at the Gun Show

There was a bit of excitement at the gun show this past weekend.  I'll get to that later.

I also tell a story about rope and discuss my gun show shopping and buying strategy.

Episode 40: Test Your New Loads

Learn from my (small) mistake.  When you derive a new load, make a small batch and test it before you make 2 boxes.

Also, my file host is acting up again, so now I have a secondary link in each posting so you can download manually.

A listener, Todd, sent me these links to charts showing the relative burning rates of different powders:

THANKS, TODD!

Episode 39: Gun Show Behavior

This is in response to Nick's Episode 11 of the New Shooter Podcast.  He did not have a good time at his first gun show.  I just wanted to let him know that people are usually very well behaved, and I speculate why.  Also, some gun show stories of my own.

Here's a link to Nick's show:

Episode 38: Reloading .38s

This is a rundown on my philosophy on reloading .38 special cartridges.  It's actually a reconstruction of my explanation to my wife, and yes, I should have been recording at the time.

Also, I know there have been some problems downloading my show.  The company I store the files with had a catastrophic drive failure and are still picking up the pieces.

Some of you may have been getting bandwidth exceeded messages, and it turns out that even failed download attempts count for the full file size.  If you try to download manually, please give it a couple of hours before you try again.  If you use an automatic downloader, could you please check the settings?  The sear may be displaced and going full auto like "Bdddddddapp" eating up my bandwidth allocation.

Meanwhile, I'm going to upload episodes to a free storage site and put in backup links so even if Opendrive has problems, you can still download manually.

Episode 37: More Cheap Pistols

This is a continuation from last episode regarding truly cheap pistols.  These are ones I have never shot, but have looked at.  Also, a few news articles that perplex me.
