Yeah I get it. I mean, I don't even BEGIN to understand, but I get it. I don't understand what's wrong with a flat rate tax. If they want 10%, take it and leave me the ††††alone. You made 10K last year you pay 1K you made 100K you owe 10. Fire half the IRS, sell off the excess computers they won't need and I bet you a dollar and a quarter it would work just fine. Ohh wait, no it wouldn't. The fortune 500 guys wouldn't allow themselves to actually be as accountable as the middle class. For the believers out there, we know that standard practice for tithes is 10%. Well if God can get by on 10% why can't this useless moronic government of ours?

Love mine. Color matches all my other FDE magpul goodies too.

1040ez envelope and a stamp. Keep your fancy gimmicks.

Nice to give the neighbors a break.

I use Lee's trim tools and a bench top lathe with rheostat control, it's super fast once I get my rhythm. I like it because I can trim deburr and chamfer in one op without turning off the spindle.

Does anyone know if the chat room is open?

You mean fat mohammed's?

Well, as far as the weather.....if you want the weather to change here in TN, close your eyes count to 100 and most of the time it's doing something different. Tn weather changes like a woman's mind.

Well, with a Lee Collet neck sizer, you don't get much play as far as how deep you go. Not as far as I can see anywho. I know I really snuck up on it when I adjusted it so as not to buckle a case or disturb the shoulder.

No it doesn't. Like I said, my chamber is spotless. I did clean one case with acetone and it still stuck....I shouldn't say stuck, it was just a touch tight on the extract. I'm guessing it's the same principle as the morse taper. The morse tape if made accurately will lock together with no mechanical fasteners and I challenge any man to pull them a part!!! They have to be drifted apart either from the opposite end or a milled slot and a punch. Going to try that next. Thanks bud.

I'd say you have a very good point on that.

Bought a neck sizing die for 308 yesterday. For my Savage 10PC, I'm using virgin Hornady Match brass. Now that I have fired one lot through the rifle, I want to neck size only for accuracy and longer brass life. Here's the rub: I neck sized some this morning and brought a few in the house to check in the rifle and see how they chamber. They go in smooth and easy, bolt closes like butter. Lift the handle and re row! It won't come out. Now it came out, I tried several and they all came out but more than normal amount of force was required to tug the bolt open. Is this a normal occurrence? New to neck sizing only, I wouldn't know. I wonder if they will come out easier after they have been polished in the tumbler [haven't done that yet] and after they have been fired again. I had ZERO issues extracting them at the range for the first firing, and yes the rifle chamber is spotless. You could eat off the thing. Thanks †††Caster††â€

Well, it's like heroin. It only takes one dose to get hooked. Good Job BTW.

I was at Franklin Gun one day years ago before they moved. I was digging through some used holsters with my PT145 in hand. At that time NO ONE made a good holster for the PT. I found a Galco model FL286 that fits perfect. I think it's for a Glock, but who knows. I just know I have used this holster for over ten years now and still going strong. Try and see if it'll work for yours. I bet it does. FYI Galco holsters stretch a good bit in the first few months so if it's a bit tight, have no worries.

Reloaders Bench in Mt Juliet had them last time I was there.

Now if you're headed on in to Nashville I like: *Demos' - Downtown, it's an Italian steak house. Very good, and cheap considering the quality of food and atmosphere *Ted's Montana Grill - I don't care for Ted Turner but the Delmonico Bison Ribeye will make you slap your momma for the last bite. It's down on west end I think.

If you're gonna be in Franklin, I'd suggest: *Franklin Chop House - over in front of Kroger near I65 -- Reasonable prices for excellent food. *Bucca deBeppo - Cool Springs --- A touch pricey Italian but portions are mammoth and very good. *Stoney River - Cool Springs -- the wife and I eat there once or twice a year. Best steaks around, but dining for two will cost you a C note. *Nachos - My favorite mexican fare in the area -- It's over next to Home Depot in the franklin area {not the Home Depot in cool springs!} Cheap eats, good food and service

It amazing, but clean guns tend to work much better.

The PTR is a roller locker. It's going to have a fluted chamber and as such it is going to make brass fairly un-reloadable.

I will say this, Flat springs are not always the same as coil springs. I ruined two different trigger/sear flat spring thingys for a mosin nagant because I would store them with the "hammer down". That put tension on the flat spring and it took a set in just a few short weeks. I suppose for fair argument, those springs were made in crappy rusky factories before my parents were born. Metallurgy has come a looooong way since.

I didn't even know you could buy them like that.

I was pondering something today. Why do they not make anything much above a 40g bullet in 22LR? Aguila makes the SSS in a 60g but it runs like 950fps. Why isn't there a standard velocity bullet in the 50 or 55 grain range? Too much? Not that it matters, I don't much care for the .22 rim fire, but it would be nice to have the option. AND, while I'm at it, why don't they make a jacketed bullet for the 22LR? I've asked some of the local yokels around here and they hail me as the ultimate blasphemer for my lack of respect for the 22. ehhh ohh well.

Amen to that brother!

It's just bad juju to shoot other people's reloads.

I know if mine did that, he'd be getting backstrap and tenderloin instead of rib, neck and bone.
