    i thought about it, i really did. and i am the type of person that when i do something, i go all the way, so for a mere $3,500 (or so), i'd get the Dillon 1050 set up, with even a motor instead of the hand crank.

    but then, i was doing "some reading", on how to measure, fill with powder, then the primers, then the powder, then the bullets, this thing and that thing, and many other things, and i'm like, this is crazy.

    i cannot go small, not me, if i did, i can assure you that in VERY short time, i'd be adding onto the most basic of all loading equipment, to well over the price of the Dillon.

    so if i can get (say for the price of a Dillon) ) 1,000 rds for about under $225, per 1,000 rds, that could mean i'd end up with about 16,000 fresh from the factory rounds?

    of course sales on ammo will return soon enough, meaning i could end up with thousands more factory fresh rounds.

    but then, i can now see where i'd have to buy more guns...

    i can't stop, i can't stop, i got a monkey on my back, i can't stop....!!!!!!!!!!

    Homemade hand sanitizer to battle coronavirus? Don’t use denatured alcohol -- or vodka

    the only thing i ever use denatured alcohol for is, to wipe off the crud on my windshield wipers.

    and other cleaning projects.

    My mom’s best friend works at Jim beam. She’s sending me some sanitizer. I’m not essential, but I’m on the road :)

    I've never used the stuff.

    What about fungus? Will it prevent fungus?

    There are pills for fungus.

    And they're cheaper to buy from canada. Who orders from UK

    That’s what I’m using. Take an old glass cleaner spray bottle half rubbing alcohol half water. Works great.

    Mine has been in here for cleaning up long before the virus.
