Hello, and welcome to the Reloading Podcast here on the Firearms Radio Network.
Tonight the gang is talking more about data storage.
Greetings gents, I just finished listening to episode 269 and had a couple thoughts. In regards to Travis's affection for written data I have this thought. Digital is today's standard, and I research loads in dead tree manuals as well as online resources; however, I always keep my recipes in a Reloaders Logbook. Why? Let answer by way of illustration. My family has in photo albums pictures of great grandparents and other family that I never knew. But old, yellowed black and white photos are still around. They survived two world wars, the depression, have been in attics and basements and still look pretty good. Our digital goods can be gone in an instant with a lightning strike. Our backups can be gone due to degraded media, or our backups may no longer be readable because we don't have a device to read them (Floppy? ZipDrive? JazzDrive? LS120 SuperDisk?) . Or suppose file formats or filesystems fall out of favor? Ever used Quattro or Lotus for spreadsheets? Could you even open those files today? At this point saving data as comma separated values text files to the cloud seems sufficient, but tech companies do go out of business or spin off divisions to other companies that may jettison your files like digital flotsam. So I'm going with Travis on this one. It is a prudent approach, I believe, to write things down on paper. The written word, whether on paper, parchment or stone tablets (Jim?) clearly has history on it's side. As far as the reviewer recommending ditching the Cartridge Corner, I vote NO. As a K.O.O.K, a Keeper Of Odd Knowledge, I find it interesting to hear about some of the lessor known cartridges that have come before and the parent case of some of our mainstay cartridges and how the variants solved a particular shortcoming or improved performance for a specific or perceived need. Thank you guys for the education and mentoring. I don't use iTunes or Stitcher, but I gave a review over on Podcast Republic where I get my podcasts. Regards, Richard
Curious, does anyone have a picture of a perfect crimp? I am adjusting my seater die for a .30-30 win, and want to be sure to give enough crimp. How can I tell when I have enough crimp? Not enough crimp? I can mic the brass thickness, mic the bullet, and mic the outside diameter to figure out neck tension, but what is the ideal tension. I hand load for numerous bottle necks but the requirement of crimping is new to me. Scott C.
Cartridge corner:none
