Cowboy Bullets

UniqueTek, Inc. launches sales of Cowboy Bullets™.

UniqueTek has partnered with Slash K to introduce a new line of high-quality hard cast lead bullets to the market. Although Cowboy Bullets™ are being marketed to the cowboy action shooting sport, they are also available in calibers and weights commonly use by other shooting sports.

The high quality of these hard cast lead bullets manufactured by Slash K and their convenient location in Tucson, provided a unique opportunity to offer these bullets at a competitive price. Slash K is already a supplier to UniqueTek and manufactures the Turbo-Bearing™ for the Dillon 550 reloading press, making this a natural extension of the business relationship.

“Due to the recent increase in ammunition sales, we have received many calls from customers asking if we carry ammunition or bullets.” says Lee Love, UniqueTek Product Manager, “So this was the perfect time for us to bring these bullets into our product line and fill the needs of those customers.”

Mark Sanford Affair

Already tired of hearing about the Mark Sanford affair? Well, in all honesty, that is probably too bad... Given the lack of news stories (sarcasm) in the world today, the media will have no choice but to drag this story out for weeks! I've had the news on for a couple hours today. I don't think I have heard a single thing about North Korea, but have heard about the Mark Sanford affair MANY times.

That being said, I thought I would throw out a little on where Mark Sanford stands on gun rights. Below is a 2006 article from the NRA:

Governor Mark Sanford signed two prominent National Rifle Association (NRA)-backed bills into law. The “Castle Doctrine” self-defense bill protects the rights of innocent victims to protect themselves from criminal attack, while the “Emergency Powers Protection” language prevents local governments from confiscating firearms during a state of emergency.

“I want to thank Governor Mark Sanford for signing these critical victims’ rights bills into law,” said Chris W. Cox, NRA’s chief lobbyist. “When you’re confronted by a criminal, you don’t have the luxury of time. The “Castle Doctrine” bill states that if victims choose to stand their ground and fight, their decision will not be second-guessed by the State of South Carolina.”

“Furthermore, the breakdown of civil order in New Orleans during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina demonstrates that Americans’ rights to keep and bear arms are especially important during a state of emergency. SB 1261 ensures that local governments will be unable to restrict law-abiding citizens’ use, sale, or transportation of firearms during such difficult times.”

HB 4301, the "Castle Doctrine" self-defense bill, simply states that if a criminal breaks into your home, your occupied vehicle or your place of business, you may presume he is there to do bodily harm and you may use any force necessary against him. Furthermore, this law provides protection from criminal prosecution and civil litigation for those who defend themselves from criminal attack.

SB 1261 was originally introduced to allow qualified Right-to-Carry permit applicants who live outside the Palmetto State to be issued permits if they own land in South Carolina. It was amended in the House, however, to include the language that bars the ability of local governments to restrict the use, sale, or transportation of firearms during a state of emergency.

The “Castle Doctrine” bill passed unanimously in both the state house and senate. South Carolina joins ten other states who have signed similar legislation into law this legislative cycle.

SB 1261, with the “Emergency Powers Protection” language, passed by a vote of 109-1 in the house and was ratified unanimously by the state senate. Seven other states have enacted such legislation this year.

“On behalf of all NRA members in South Carolina, I want to thank Governor Mark Sanford for signing these important bills into law. I’d also like to thank Rep. G. Murell Smith (R-67) for his leadership in passing “Castle Doctrine” through the legislature, Rep Mike Pitts (R-14) for his commitment to seeing the “Emergency Protection” language become law, and Senator Danny Verdin for his efforts with both bills in the Senate,” concluded Cox. “Both of these bills are about putting the law back on the side of the victim, the way it’s supposed to be.”

Dillon 550/650 Toolheads

UniqueTek is now offering CNC Machined Dillon 550/650 Toolheads.

These toolheads are made to the highest standards by Whidden Gunworks. All critical machining is done on one operation, yielding tolerances of 0.0002" on all critical dimensions. This means that all die mounting holes are positioned precisely relative to each other and are exactly perpendicular to the flange. The flange is also flatter than possible with a cast toolhead. The 7/8"-14 die mounting threads are machined to Class 2B tolerance to better mate with the threads on your dies. This results in the dies being more accurately centered in each hole and reduces offset when tightening the die locknut.

For more information on these Dillon 550/650 Toolheads, visit UniqueTek.

Brass Catchers

My dad's birthday was last month. It probably isn't surprising that quite often the gifts we exchange are shooting related. This year was no different!

Since my dad has started reloading again, I sent him a Universal Brass Catcher. He was thrilled!

A few days after he received it, he sent me an email that mentioned he was going to build a stand for the Brass Catcher so it could be used in the standing position. (He is always looking for an excuse to build something!) BUT... I was happy to inform him that the Universal Brass Catcher can be mounted on a standard camera tripod, which he already has. SO... he can stay away from the wood working bench and spend more time at the range!
