If you want to get it up & out of the basement, but its too heavy to move fairly easily-
Open the door 90 degrees, and lift it off the hinge pins.
The door is usually about 1/3 of its total...

Most gun safes that have a liner that is made of 1/2" common sheet rock covered with a foam padded cloth.
It's commonly the same material used for car interior headliner panels.

Your state continues to surprise me.
I figured that a bunch of mountains sticking up out of the ocean would drain pretty well.

Yeah,
Throw in some lettuce & chopped up tomato, and ya got a soft shell taco.

There are some really good videos on youtube about the asian carp.
Guide services that will take you out, and when the boat goes along, they jump out of the water.
Then you can shoot 'em with a bow...

Very good sir.
Good to see ya back.
I was wondering when we were going to get a ransom note,
or if you'd been shot by a jealous husband while crawling out of some cute young lady's window.

Oh yeah. Me too.
We all watched my Grandmother in Mississippi as she'd make (among other things)
gravy, biscuits, cornbread, and black berry cobbler.
None of us could duplicate them. Not me,...

There was a problem with some Ford trucks called 'the death wobble'.
It had something to do with the front suspension.
I heard it was fixable, but some sort of design problem.

After almost never getting gravy to come out right,
I switched over to Pioneer's peppered gravy mix from the grocery store.
It comes out right every time and is so simple a cave man can make it....
If it splits in the middle rather than the mouth, I'd think that tells of a fat cylinder, or sizing it down too much.
Years ago, I had some .45ACPs & a few .357s do that.
From the bulge where the...
I've got a fair amount of RP, and it's OK.
I think the flare and roll crimp is hard on brass.
The more ya do it, the more work hardened the case mouth gets and more prone it is to splitting.

The rod on my old Pro-Melt is sort of rounded on the end.

One of the fish fast food places offer one.
It's one of their battered & fried fish pieces in a taco shell with a bump of lettuce & taco sauce in there.
It's actually pretty good.

They're commercially fishing for the invasive Asian carp in the Mississippi river and others.
They are the ones that jump out of the water when a boat goes by.

Carp has a bad reputation from people that have never ate it.
Several other places in the world raise them for food like we do pigs & chickens.

As expensive as it is, I'd save it for jacketed or sell it.
Some of the pistol powders do well for .30 cast.

There are plenty of rules for the S&S section. And they are very strictly enforced.
However; pricing isn't one of them.
Basically, if you think the price on a item is too high----- don't buy it.

If the depth of the weights is only 2-3 inches, stirring them is no big deal.
Reach into the bottom of the pot, and bring them up. That keeps the heat semi-even as they heat up.

the spokesperson asked, "How can they do it so cheap"?

Bring the heat up slowly.
The water will boil off, then as the pot starts to melt, stir like it owes you money.
The clips and Zinc will float up as will the Zinc before they melt into the Lead.
