  1. I got the opportunity to deploy to Botswana, Africa.  We landed at Sir Seretse Khama International during one of their diamond shipments and almost started an international incident.  Seems their security personnel did not appreciate a Military C-130 with fully armed US Rangers (I am not one) landing at that time.  We had to stay onboard under guard while the shipment was completed...fun times.  But they did get our passports and stamped them for us, but no exit stamp.  We also landed in the Ivory Coast which was a little more tense IMO, we slept in the hanger and maintained guards.  Every other country never even asked for a passport.
  2. I haven't used those myself but shoot cast bullets all the time.  I use a mix of alox and Johnson's liquid wax to coat my handgun bullets with no leading and it leaves my bore shiny.  Some will shoot theirs quite fast (+1000fps), I haven't pushed them quite that fast though.
  3. Maybe we need to do like Colorado did and do a recall on Haslam.  If our elected officials are not doing what we hired them to do then maybe its time they look for a new job.  I think this would be a wakeup call to those under him too.
  4. I used to do the same thing as far as full (or close to) case of powder but lately it seems that many powders are hard to come by so had to use some that would work but not leave the case as full.  In another forum I seen where someone had a SEE (Secondary Explosive Effect) due to the case not being full so am thinking if this powder availability issue is not fixed soon I am going to start using Dacron to top off the rest of my cases to try and prevent that.
  5. Roughage? 
  6. I use a turret press but use it in single stage mode, sort of.  When I get to the powder, I drop then seat.  If I get interrupted I start over with an empty shell by turning the left behind shell into the hopper.     I think this would work for large charges, or ones that are not close to max but smaller charges would be dificult to spot since some of my bullets can vary by a grain or two and as you mentioned brass can vary by brand, trim length or how many times its been reloaded.
  7. Probably thinking of Cheaper than Dirt, another gouger that raised their M855 price as well.
  8. I have a few hundred, I just used them to plink with and convert the cases to 300Blk.  They are not particularly good rounds for anything else since you can't use them to hunt with.  I would of traded them off one for one for 300Blk rounds if the panic would of gotten any worse.  As it is they are now back to plinking ammo :up:
  9. Its on the list as a decent case for conversion to 300 Blackout so can't be all that bad.
  10. Yea, seen that on another forum.  Seems that they bit off a bit more than they could chew.  The backlash was immediate and immense; the way it should be.
  11. Dang, I wonder what my Belgium Hi-Power is worth then...will never know.
  12. Ha, yea I meant to type "W" don't know why I typed "M".  I think the stamp is a bit too big not to be part of the plot line, they wanted it front and center; Even showed it later after Rick had changed clothes.
  13. Bet it has to do with the M marked on the walker, maybe a way to mark the two groups?
  14. I use the flat nozzle with venison, never really tried it with beef so not sure about higher fat content in that, but venison once mixed with cure and the spices is quite putty like.  Depending on how long you leave it in the dehydrator will determine how long it can be stored.  The less moisture you leave in the longer it will last, but you don't want it too dry though it still tastes good if you do.  Of course, good luck trying to let it last; mine goes quick.  I got the LEM jerky gun it holds about two lbs, and use Nesco spices because each pack set does one lb.
  15. Hmm, that would be a good use for the Hemlock area.
  16. I think this is an editorial error and a plot continuation.  It looked like she took the whole chocolate piece the first time, then again the second time.  Anyone thinking tactically like her would not endanger the mission by taking anything but what they came for, especially when they made it a point to bring up the box of guns they would not notice; I think the writers got lazy.
  17. You will have to confirm, but most outdoor ranges only limit those rounds from their steel targets.  Indoor ranges won't let you shoot steel core, some limit even steel jackets using a magnet to clear your ammo.
  18. I once went all out on jerky, freezing the meat slightly to aid in the slicing; using many a marinade and spice recipes.  But recently I started using the jerky guns and premixed spices.  I was skeptical about using ground venison for jerky, I had purchased a kit but stored it away for years.  One year my freezer went out so had to use all the meat that was in there, so I decided to try it and I have to tell you it came out pretty good.  I still slice every once in awhile but mainly I now use the "caulking gun" method. 
  19. If you are real interested in getting your family tree done, I would suggest a professional service.  There are quite a few listed and they can at least use services that would be too expensive in whole to use.  Here is a great article about hiring out these services: https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Hiring_a_Professional_Researcher   If enough family members are interested maybe you guys can share in the cost.
  20. That would be purple though.  Pretty soon it will be the whole rainbow of colors.
  21. I hate to disagree but I must. Handling weapons while someone is downrange is a definite bad thing to do. While you may be the safest guy around, that guy next you may not be. It only takes one non attentive moment for someone to get hurt. Even on my own place I follow that rule, and most times its no more than two there.
  22. Just checked, looks good now.
  23. Not sure its a resolution issue, I have some posts not sizing correctly such as this one:    http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/86359-uc-irvine-votes-to-ban-the-american-flag/   This post only fills the left most quarter or less of my screen on my samsung tablet and samsung phone both running chrome.   I seen this happen before but in those it was pictures that were rather large would distort the single post the picture was in to the right leaving all other posts the original size/width.   No post in that linked post though so not sure what ks doing it.
  24. Sounds like an idler arm or pulley bearing needs either lubed or replaced.   I'd spray some wd-40 on them one by one till you find the one that needs some tlc.  Be sure not to spray the belt, it will slip easily and damage it.
  25. Not sure when that changed, but we (Army as well) always called it that.     From the series of pictures it seems to be either a public safety ad or advertising for a "safer" holster.  The "wounded" guy sitting there for a pic and tragectory marker leads me to lean towards it being staged.
