The curse of the gunwriter is that you rarely get to talk, write about, or use your own guns. This is because in order for a gun writer—a gun writer who does not have a wealthy wife—to make a living, he must talk, write about, and use guns he does not own. The irony of it all is that I talk and write about the guns I like the best, the least. Some time ago I came up with a way to work around that, and its with a series of videos about the guns that don’t just visit my safe, but the ones that live in my safe or are on or around me most of the time.
Of course I must stay busy paying the bills, and I have also spent a lot of time over the last year working on my new book that was just released on Amazon, and that all Premium subscribers to the EmptyCases Substack will receive for free. (By the way, those books will ship this week.) Finally, now caught up on all my assignments and with my book behind me, I can get this video series started. What you’ll see under The Gun Safe section of the EmptyCases Substack are videos of me talking about the guns I own, like, and use.
I’m not sure how often I’ll post these videos , but I expect with deer season just around the corner you should see several by the end of the year. The gun I picked for the first installment of this new video series is a revolver and one of my very favorite guns, and it is also a gun that spends a lot of time on my hip and in my hands. In fact, it has been on my side all this week while I have been at my camp, reading for buck season, doing some chores, and a little bit of hunting.
It’s a great technique for making shot shells, just use a chamfered case to cut the cardboard disks.
The HST load is pretty wicked.
