Interesting. Would make for a very good story. The Walking Dead.....starring......all the participants of this thread.

I will go on record as saying, Glenn is probably THE baddest guy here overall.  No, he's not as viscious as Rick or as possum savvy as Daryl BUT, the numbers speak for themselves.   He's the one they send in when they're pretty sure no one else will survive.   He's the guy that figures out technical/mechanical things and up until the arrival of Eugene, had the highest IQ by a large margin. He's the one who scored himself a strong and faithful lady. He's the one smart enough to wear ARMOR!!   AND, they talked about this on the Talking Dead...up until this last episode, Glenn has never lost a man/woman on his watch.  Noah was the first person he wasn't able to save who died in his immediate vicinity.     Glenn is the balance needed to survive in ANY situation the Walkers/World present.  Tough when he needs to be.  Cunning as all hell.  With just enough compassion to keep him from going full on Rick sociopath.           ME and the wife are die hard Daryl fans but if this were the REAL world, I'd take a Glenn any day in my group.

Glenn is Korean ninja.

Yeah....like three seasons ago.

Lube doesn't really lube much either.  Not in the traditional sense of lubrication.  It's function is much more of a sealer and lubrication is secondary.  Think about that wax ring under the toilet.  Any imperfections in the fit, the lube will try to take up the slack.  It'll only do so much mind you.  Any lubricant residue left in the barrel kinda slicks it up for the next shot.  Different hardnesses, tackiness, how it reacts under pressure, it's a deep subject on lube and one that gets pretty heated arguments.     The old saying goes, Lube doesn't matter...until it does.  If what you're using is working, you probably shouldn't think about it anymore.  Just go with it.       Blackpowder is a whole 'nuther mess a crap.  Lube is extremely important unless you enjoy scrubbing baked on powder fouling.  

The idea of oversizing is to make a seal. Without a near perfect seal, you get gas cutting. Gas cutting equals leading and pisspoor accuracy. Oversizing also prevents skidding. Basically, think of stripped threads. This is the major function of a gas check by the way. To give the rifling something tougher to bite into that won't skip over the rifling at higher pressures. Fit is king. Cast bullets will never work without proper fit.

I size mine to .357 because that's the biggest I can horseshoe into a case and chamber reliably. If I could get bigger....I would. For any PROPERLY cut chamber, you will never be able to chamber a CAST bullet that's too large to be safely fired. Same CANNOT be said for jacketed and know that! I regularly size as much as .003 or .004 over for rifle. My .358 Winchester slugs .3575 but I can chambe .360 without sizing e bullet down during seating....so that's what I run.

A www Noah....why the long face?

No one can get enough of MY humor.

My shop is wood. Wood floors, wood bench, walls & ceiling. Never seen static.

Old lady has one. It's accurate and reliable but she does bark loud and bite hard So does the Kimber.

***tink*** What was that? I dunno, I didn't hear nothin.

I ain't drinking nothing that's first syllable is "Dewsh".

Sprinkle the rifle with salt and holy oil (holy water would probably cause holy oxidation). Wait seven minutes, if the stock gets cold, get rid of the rifle. It's occupied by a vengeful spirit. If the stock is room temp, it's safe to keep in the home.

....ohh and when casting, keep a napkin around your sammich.

I never drink more than a sixer and always keep the ashtray on the opposite side of the bench from my powder.

I'm with musicman, why not let her 'fire, before you buy 'er?" TGO has vendors that rent LOTS of models of striker fired autos. Spending an extra few bucks is money WELL spent to KNOW you made the right choice. Nothing is worse than shelling out big money, getting to range and saying...this thing sucks donkey! Why'd I buy this?

Depends on the store. Look for a privately owned operation not the big box stores. Big box store are prohibited from displaying common sense in any way shape form or fashion.

Wonder if it's loud?

Willy Wonka Bottle Caps, skittles, Doritos, Mt.Dew & Miller If I'm ever on death row, I'll take a giant ribeye w/ the above and I'm good.

It's like a potato eatin' vodka drinkin' Waldo over in Russia! Putin not seen in public for 8 days? Hmmm. Plot thickens. Wonder what kind of azzhat replaces him should he turn up swimming with the fishies in lake Baikal? http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2015/03/13/259703/wheres-putin-dont-ask-the-white.html

    This year give the kid a dress and some nice hoop earrings.  

If we could take a poll in grave yards across the earth.....how many would disagree that the 9mm ain't sht? I bet a lot of them would disagree.
