There are some very creative smart@$$es on this site.

PRETTY WIFE, PRETTY GUN ... WAY COOL! I don't think I could pull off a Turquoise gun, though. 😮

The tag could be in the gambrel of the back leg. We are our own worst enemy.

An old Scottish lady once told me: " Aah, the Campbell's? Quite the sheep stealers!" Gotta be careful going to the Motherland and which cities!

How so? They are $310 new on amazon.

Annealing actually softens and restores ductility which is the opposite increasing elasticity and spring back. The case neck is then able to stretch which is why trimming is required. Good points about the color. What powers the induction coil? A welder?

Isn't it just a torx bit?

And to think I though I was the only person to put 8x binos on a tripod !!!

Tempering is actually a toughening process that may bring down the strength/hardness after transformation quenching of higher carbon steels but it greatly increases toughness/ductility. Otherwise, the steel can be extremely brittle. Good points on the brass. So with annealing the brass cases each time, do you have to trim each time?

Why is it that the neck should be annealed and how often?

That would be good to know for all of us. Let us know what you find out like where and how much?

here as game animals as opposed to nongame animals for which the exception exists

"Wards"??? That goes back a ways!

AND RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD ROUND IN THIS HOARDING ATMOSPHERE ??? I say just X-Ray it, although I like the magnet or possibly a specific gravity measurement.

coyotes are not game animals

Tell us if it was recovered at a junk yard?

To quote G&F: "Where ATF draws the line." and, of course, that line is likely to change under this administration.

"Fair buddy good price" ... that is pretty funny!

Good to know it worked well. I am trying to discourage a friend from even thinking about FMJ or the green tipped/steel core stuff (probably illegal) but availability is pretty tough. ps Did she get to pick out the color?

what caliber and projectile?

It takes quite a while to become proficient on a scoped handgun. I was actually better at shooting my revolver and that is why I am now the proud ex-owner of a Contender. I should have remembered I learned that same lesson about 20 years ago but forgot it!

my hunting partner had the same thing happen ... serves you guys right for getting a license early! Judicious choice of when to buy a license is important. I've been messed up ever since they went away from calendar yr.

sorry ... DUH!
