reloading advice
In a reloading scam, a victim is repeatedly approached by con artists, often until "sucked dry". This form of fraud is perpetrated on those more susceptible to pressure after the first losses, perhaps because of hopes to recover money previously invested, perhaps because of inability to say "no" to a con man.
The term has been current at least since 1923, when it was used to describe a specific repetitive stock fraud:
To "reload" a holder of stock, he is approached with an offer to buy from him a larger block of the stock at a higher price than he paid, and about the same time the opportunity is given to him to purchase more at the original offering price. When he has done so, he finds that the bid is an elusive one; it is now for a larger block, and if he buys still more stock in order to take advantage of it, it still keeps ahead of him.The term 'reloading' has since expanded to cover all repeated attempts to scam money from the same victim.
This form is widespread because people who become victims of, for example, a telemarketing fraud, often are placed on a sucker list. Sucker lists, which include names, addresses, phone numbers and other information, are created, bought and sold by some fraudulent telemarketers. They are considered invaluable because dishonest promoters know that consumers who have been tricked once are likely to be tricked again.
I’m just getting started, with a hand-me-down set up from an amazing old timer. He’s given me plenty of advice on use, but now where to purchase things. Where do you guys buy your supplies? I’m no competition shooter, but I enjoy plinking a lot and hunting. Any insight is greatly appreciated...
Picking up a mini 30 and beginning to realize the lack of good affordable ammo out there. Any advice on reloading this cartridge? Where to purchase brass and/or which brass is best for reloading it. Powder and bullet suggestions. Thanks for any advice you have to offer.
Hello all. As some of you know, I've been pinning away for a progressive machine for some time. I thought I had scored a Hornady Lock-n-Load last month only to find out a week later that they were on back order for months from Optics Planet. (Very deceptive sale from them BTW), so I cancelled...
