Redding Introduces Dies for the 22 TCM Cartridge

Cortland, NY…….New for 2015, Redding Reloading Equipment is offering a full length die set for the popular new 22 TCM Cartridge.

The popularity of this new chambering demanded Redding produce high quality reloading dies for the serious handloader. As both an exciting handgun round and with the new emphasis as a “walking varminter” cartridge, this 22 TCM is creating quite a stir in the marketplace and reloading can only increase its capability. For 2015 Redding is introducing a Full Length 2 die set with no need for a separate expander die. This has been accomplished through the development of a specialized reduced duration size button which allows the sizing die to function normally even with the short overall length of the 22 TCM case. This significantly reduces the amount of time and die changes in the loading process without compromising the quality of the finished round. Read more

DNR offers tips for residents when encountering snakes

This time of year, as snakes are out and about in the great outdoors, the Department of Natural Resources gets many questions about Michigan’s snakes. Michigan is home to 18 different species of snakes, 17 of which are harmless to humans. T

here are two that are very similar and often cause a stir when people encounter them. Eastern hognose snakes, when threatened, puff up with air, flatten their necks and bodies, and hiss loudly. (This has led to local names like “puff adder” or “hissing viper.”) If this act is unsuccessful in deterring predators, the snakes will writhe about, excrete a foul-smelling musk and then turn over with mouth agape and lie still, as though dead. Despite this intimidating behavior, hog-nosed snakes are harmless to humans.

eastern massasauga rattlesnakeThe eastern massasauga rattlesnake, the only venomous snake species found in Michigan, is quite rare and protected as a species of special concern due to declining populations from habitat loss. As the name implies, the massasauga rattlesnake does have a segmented rattle on its tail. It should not be confused with the other harmless species of snake in Michigan that do not have segmented rattles but also will buzz their tails if approached or handled.

Eastern massasauga rattlesnakes are shy creatures that avoid humans whenever possible. Also known as “swamp rattlers,” they spend the vast majority of their time in year-round wetlands hunting their primary prey, mice. When encountered, if the snake doesn’t feel threatened, it will let people pass without revealing its location. If humans do get too close, a rattlesnake will generally warn of its presence by rattling its tail while people are still several feet away. If given room, the snake will slither away into nearby brush.

Rattlesnake bites, while extremely rare in Michigan (fewer than one per year), can and do occur. Anyone who is bitten should seek medical attention immediately. To learn more about the massasauga and for more snake safety tips, visit http://mnfi.anr.msu.edu/emr/index.cfm. Read more
