Still doing my part, 66% no or 724.  I noticed 1 yes has been added since I first read this post last evening. 

No change, I still have a ton of brass.  Whenever I acquire brass, I clean, deprime, and clean again.  Was I suppose to see a change, like in dull? 

My grandfather worked for the Park Service for many years.  He said he has seen a many of "panters", mostly the brown type, and swears he seen one of the black ones.  He use to have to clean 441 road of snow from the Sugarlands to almost Cherokee in the winter months, and usually early of the morning before sun up, and that is when he would seen them.  He also use to be one of those men that was stationed at a fire tower, the one on the Pinnacle in Greenbrier back in the 50s and early 60s, says he seen one or two there too.  He also was apart of the search team that looked for Dennis Martin, the little boy that was lost at Spence Field back in 1969.  He and few others believe maybe something like a mountain lion got that little boy, never was a trace.  Here is the story on the lost boy from wbir:  http://www.wbir.com/story/news/local/2014/05/22/dennis-martin-missing-45-years/9405607/   Bottom line, I believe you, and many in around Gatlinburg, Pittman Center to Cosby will believe you too.

57% no

Not from my hollar, spelling is correct city slicker or should I say scruffy little city slicker.

Saw this on FB today, a possible cougar sighting (panters to you natives), moutain lions if you think its older woman: http://www.tn.gov/twra/news/18363 [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/panter_zpsr0ac4oue.jpg.html][/URL] TWRA Receives Photo of What Appears to Be Cougar in West Tennessee Tuesday, October 06, 2015 | 8:36am TWRA Receives Photo of What Appears to Be Cougar in West Tennessee NASHVILLE --- The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has received a photo of what appears to be a cougar (mountain lion) taken on a trail camera on private land in Obion County in West Tennessee. The photo is being analyzed by photo/graphics experts. It was taken shortly after 8 p.m. on the evening of Sept. 20. The trail camera date was incorrect stating it was taken on Sept. 19. An investigation to solidly confirm the sighting is ongoing, although a TWRA official was unable to recover any tracks, hair or other physical evidence. Like all wildlife species in Tennessee, cougars are classified as a protected species which cannot be hunted or killed until a hunting or trapping season is established by the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission, the governing body of the TWRA. States with breeding populations of western mountain lions are Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas. There have been documented sightings of cougars in Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Connecticut, and Kansas. Biologists believe these sightings were young males leaving their home ranges in search of new territory. These males have been known to travel hundreds of miles. TWRA biologists assure Tennesseans that in the event of a confirmation of one animal it does not mean there is an established population. A cougar sighting could easily be attributed to a transient young male or an illegal release of a captive animal. ---TWRA--- - See more at: http://www.tn.gov/twra/news/18363#sthash.kjv6rTju.dpuf

I found this graph this morning which might help you with the more popular long range trajectories, I agree 308 probably best, but its really up to you and what you want. Now if you want to be a Seal sniper want to be, I read a lot of their books, that 300 Win Mag and 338 Lapua might be what the doctor ordered: [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/trajectories_zpsvcomkxyz.jpg.html][/URL]

Lemshine is great, but I must have been over doing it, I am only getting about 3-4 runs to a container. [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/lemshine_zpsarvxtvih.jpg.html][/URL]

BTW, I think this is the coolest oxymoron, you don't see many of these with "Sig" on slide, mostly only 357: [url=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/oxy%20moron_zpscrjfgsck.jpg.html][/URL]

Went the way of, not went away from. 

Lets see, I have a P229, and a Glock 32 and 33.  I love the round, love the ballistics, and the recoil is snappy.  Reloading is a pain.  That dang neck makes it a challenge over a straight wall.    Regarding the ballistics, do some research on why many Police dept went the way of the 357 Sig.  If I ran across a 33 at a throw away price, I probably would add to my normal rotation.    Cost to shoot, I give it a D. 

I admit I am partial this home grown video:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo79sqsmjbY

Gen2 to me are what made Glock who they are.  As long as the gun is clean and free from monkey business (trigger, stippling, coating, etc.), then that is a good price, even w/o the mags.  You can figure $20 each on the OEM mag, $10 ea on the KCI and $20 on the KCI large cap, so you getting the gun @ $375 less the $40 on mags (gun should could with 1 mag), so $335 not a bad deal at all.  If you buy, and get sick, and you are traveling to E. Tenn, I would be obliged to help a feller out to recoup their investment ;)

This is what I purchased:   http://www.midwayusa.com/product/635839/pellets-brass-cleaning-media-stainless-steel-pins-5-lb-bag?cm_vc=ProductFinding     but you might want to try ebay too:   http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=stainless+steel+media&_sacat=0     I also purchased the Thumlers Tumbler model B I think from this vendor, which is also a good source for stainless steel media:   http://www.stainlesstumblingmedia.com/reloading-products/tumblers/thumler-s-tumbler-model-b-high-speed.html

Both my camera and tree stand have locking cables.   To many opportunists out there.

Make sure to keep this pistol.  Gifts from Dads, Grandpas, and other family, are priceless once they are gone.  You don't know what you have until they are gone.  I got a many pocket knives and a few guns. 

Yep, I learned about this with my 1st born over 11 years ago.  A total of 4 sons later, my only complaint, I get 4 calendars a year and every other month, 4 of the TWRA magazines.  Otherwise great bargain.

I do.  When I made my decision, it was only after reading 100s of messages on message boards about what reloaders regretted, or switched too after reloading.   No dust, and very shiny, reusable for life.  You do have to contend with the wet element, but I really like mine. 

Many automotive manufacturing companies are running at full blast like you described.    Stark contrast to the free fall of layoffs just 6 years ago.  I remember a many of people who were able to keep a job, on 28-32 hour weeks. 

Other than WWII, which I respect greatly, what real military experience do they have other than technical advisors in many conflicts?

American Rifleman here, but I wish their Shooting Illustrated was a choice.  I find Shooting Illustrated to be a good rag.  Its a NRA owned mag, but its not even a choice as a member.  So I guess their marketing campaign snared me, because I have both. 

It was already mentioned above, but from the The Blaze this was mentioned:   http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/10/02/father-of-student-wounded-in-oregon-shooting-offers-disturbing-details-about-how-christians-were-targeted/   Father of Student Wounded in Oregon Shooting Offers Chilling Details On How Christians Were Targeted   The father of a student wounded in the Oregon community college shooting described in horrifying detail Thursday evening how the gunman specifically targeted Christians. Anastasia Boylan, who was shot in the back, offered the disturbing details to her father and brother before undergoing spinal surgery.   “He shot the professor, point blank, one shot, killed him — took him right out of it,” Boylan’s father, Stacy, told CNN. “And then, this man, had enough time, I don’t know how much time elapsed before he was able to stand there and start asking people one by one what their religion was. ‘Are you a Christian?’ he would ask them. And if you’re a Christian, stand up.” “And they would stand up and he said, ‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you’re going to see God in just about one second,’” he continued, relaying his daughter’s account. “And then he shot and killed them.”   The account offered by the father corroborates other reports which indicate the gunman specifically went after Christians. “The shooter was lining people up and asking if they were christian,” tweeted Bodhi Looney, who said her grandmother was in the room as the shooting unfolded. “If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs.” Another student, 18-year-old Kortney Moore, relayed a similar account, telling the News Review that the shooter asked individuals to stand up and state their religion before he opened fire.     Then I like what this person said in the comments: my brothers and sisters in Christ looked a psychopath in the face and stood firm in their faith. They were amazing people we lost today. I hope that I have faith like that.

Rayovac is the way to go.  It has the best automatic features, it will raise your bloodpressure at the right optimum moment you need the light.  It will cause the best preacher man to cuss, at first under his breath, but moments later with long outburst.  Finally, it will train your eyes to work in the dark.  My grandmother always had a good ole Rayovac at her side.   Me personally, I didn't like those auto features, I just use Surefire.

I guess this is a treatment program when one is in bankruptcy: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/09/25/colt-defense-granted-212m-m4-contract-good-until-2020/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheFirearmBlog+%28The+Firearm+Blog%29 BREAKING: Colt Defense Granted $212M M4 Contract, Good Until 2020 Posted 3 days agoin AR-15, Guns & Gear, News, Other Gear & Gadgets, Rifles by Nathaniel F with 79 Comments Tags: 5.56mm, carbines, Colt, contract, dod, m4, m4a1, News, rifles 3861 74‌372 ‌0 17 Looks like Colt has a guardian angel in Washington. From today’s DOD contract announcements: Colt Defense LLC, West Hartford, Connecticut (15QKN-15-D-0102); and FN America LLC, Columbia, South Carolina (W15QKN-15-D-0072), were awarded a $212,000,000 firm-fixed-price multi-year contract for M4 and M4A1 carbines for the Army and others, with an estimated completion date of Sept. 24, 2020. Bids were solicited via the Internet with six received. Funding and work location will be determined with each order. Army Contracting Command, Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, is the contracting activity. It’s not surpring that Colt Defense submitted a winning bid, since I expect it’s very difficult to underbid a company as desperate as one in bankruptcy, and Colt historically has had a lot of political influence.

Several of my guns are from my family that have passed on.  Yes priceless, lots of memories.  Sorry for your loss, but never sell those items.  Its a connection to the past, and if you have shot those with your loved ones, that is just awesome.
