Conversations with famous people

Posted 01-29-2011 at 05:46 by Bill Powell (Bill's stories)

Whether they're famous to you would be determined by how old you are and your field of interest.

Dateline, Amelia Island, Fla-awhile ago.
Bobby Unser: I attended a meeting with several retired Indy drivers, all past winners of the race. It was kind of like a Trekky convention, with better mingling.

After the official program was over and the mingling started, I wound up with Unser. He was talking about how they used to build the old Indy Roadsters, and in...

Winter, Vacation, Work, and other things in the way...

Posted 01-22-2011 at 21:48 by MakeMineA10mm (MakeMineA10mm's Daily (or so) Reloading Blog)

I've had a lot of work lately, and that has slowed down my reloading a little. Worse still, I am heading out to vacation tomorrow, so will be out of town for a week. No reloading...

But, progress is still kicking in MMA10mm's reloading room!

I've gotten all my "mistakes" rounded up on my 44-cal swaged JHP bullets. Was able to cannelure them all and segregated according to seating depth. (They all weight the same, but there is some...

Last day at SHOT - More new stuff

Posted 01-21-2011 at 07:53 by tokarevsvt

Yesterday morning I was able to walk the main upstairs area of the show. Did it in 3 1/2 hrs - I walk fast. This mornings challenge is to walk the garage level (it used to be a parking garage). For anyone those who have had the chance to visit SHOT its alot to see.

Some of the cool stuff out there - aside from mine (sorry I had to do that)
KelTec's New 15 rnd capacity shotgun (I would have paid for one on the spot if possible)

Memories of Las Vegas

Posted 01-20-2011 at 18:35 by Bill Powell (Bill's stories)

They had me park at one of the fuel islands where they had their cameras set up. He started his monologue about...
