What are you talking about? They are shooting animals for a job, not going to war.

It's kinda like being in a busy room having 3 conversations at once :lol: "308 currently about $3 a round" has turned into talking double tapping, pro shooting, business running costs 101, self defense ... I can't keep up :wtf: :lol:

It's been so long since I bought factory rounds, last time I did I reckon I was paying around $1each for .243 and I thought that was too expensive.
Then I saw a second hand lee loader behind the counter, I snapped it up for $30 and the salesman adjusted the scoop to bring it to a volume sutible for the powder I purchased.
I also bought bulk primers and projectiles and grabbed a ADI reloading guide that day.
That night I bought a second hand Nick Harvey reloading manual from a mate and never looked back at factory stuff.

Since then I've added many home made and store bought bits n pieces to turn my reloading into a fine art that produces sub .5 moa results whilst still using my cheap lee loaders
I now use
Loading block
Scales
Trickler
Full set of lee dippers
Funnel
Neck turner
Neck trimmer
Neck chamfurer
Wet tumbler
Sort and batch cases by weight (I know volume is better)
Chronograph


Yeah, I'd say I'm guilty of taking threads off topic haha :silent:

Depending on where next year takes me employment-wise, if I can afford reloading gear, I'll definitely be investing. I'll screenshot this as a list of items needed, thank you.

Security guards though are not shooting in self-defense, they are dissuading people from stealing the property they are protecting.

What?
If you're referring to double-taps I'm unaware of any legal problem with doing so in legitimate self-defense. Doubles are a very useful technique to stop an attacker quickly. Taking one shot, then waiting to determine if another shot is required will get you killed. Self-defense requires an immediate and genuine threat. If you have time to mess about it's unlikely to be considered an imminent threat. If you have to shoot, keep shooting until until the threat is no longer a threat.


I 100% agree with you, as will most shooters I assume, however, when I was doing my security courses here in VIC, the guys who did their armed guard qualifications said they are trained to extend, fire once, retract, observe, if the threat is still there, extend, fire once, retract. Etc. They said it's very difficult to justify your way out of what you were trained to do.

If they shoot it has to be in defense of yourself or another, can't be shooting people over property.

Yeah ... it's a little less heavy duty than drugs but I thought it would help with lockdown for a minute or two.

But if you need a few weeks of entertainment to get you through the lockdown this picture might help.
