Anyone want to donate $35 to have me ban a whiner permanently?
jpx2rk replied to TGO David's topic in General Chat
I would not want David's job/responsibility of trying to keep all of the " kids" straight and in our separate corners so to speak when some don't agree on things. Everyone gets a little bit big for their britches at times, and it's usually "dad" or an uncle (the mods) that has to slap someone on the back of the head and tell 'em to shut up and be quiet. TGO is a good place to visit, thanks to all the people who make it so. -
I've never had a problem with having a CC on file at midway and a few other places. The security code is requested each time an order is placed for security reasons (you still have the card and can provide it) but this info is not accessed/viewed by Midway personnel or the CC personnel. It's done all electronically with no hoomans involved. After the CC being used is validated electronically, the order moves on to the "que" for processing. Kinda like when you use your CC at Krogers or anyplace that takes CC. The clerk does not have access to your CC in most places. You can also download the issuing CC "app" to your phone, and get text messages notifying you of charges at a $ limit you can set in the app. It works as I use on several CC's

I use CapitalOne for savings, or holding $$ I may/may not need for a while, or for the annual tax & insurance bills that come around . You can transfer $$ back and forth with some limits, but I set up accts for RE taxes, house & car insurance, FIT taxes, etc., so I never run into the transfer limitations. Their website indicates they are paying 0.40% for savings accts, which is better than most CD's at this time.

Just out of curiosity, how much time do you DIY day traders devote to this on a daily basis?? What system /company/platform do you guys use or prefer?? I'm too conservative, possibly lazy , and not willing to keep up with the market. It changes or reacts to the slightest news (good or bad) too much for me. I'm in the "buy & hold" quality stocks for the long term camp, so I"m curious.

I have a FA dry media tumbler, works good, no complaints but I also have the FA wet tumblers, cleaner brass IMO. Depends on your needs or desires. The dry tumbler does not get used much anymore.

Hope the window don't break, and that "thing" is just FUGLY.

Watched it as well. Would love to have been able to see the launch from up close. I saw a early morning space shuttle launch when I lived in Orlando from my driveway. Lit up the entire horizion when they lit the fuse. I wonder what the lunar landing vehicle will look like coming from SpaceX now. A modified Telsa with antennas and hollow wire wheels???

Might be time to take another look at reloading
jpx2rk replied to DaveTN's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Just start accumulating the items needed like a press, dies, powder, etc., as opportunities present themselves. I pick up components when I see them, whether I need them or not, as a "just in case" there is another shortage. I can load up rounds for every caliber I've got but not like I did a year ago. I think a bit more about the end goal/results a bit more now since components are harder to find, but I still go to the range 2x/week for the most part. Reloading is also something to do on rainy days during the summer, or those crappy winter days when you don't want/need to get out, you have something do if you so desire. -
Walmart Pulls Guns, Ammo Displays in U.S. Stores, Citing Civil Unrest
jpx2rk replied to Garufa's topic in General Chat
Just saw on Ch. 6 in Knoxville that WM has reversed this policy of removing guns from display during civil unrest, so do that mean WM supports civil unrest??? I saw on the news where a WM in Philly was looted just a couple days/nights ago due to the latest shooting by police, even tho the guy had a knife and would not obey their instructions. -
From my reading on various forums, current dies will work but you will need the die blocks or whatever they are called specific to the Forster press since the dies just slide in/out, they don't screw into the top brace. Makes changing calibers easy from what I've read.

I quit watching the game about half way thru the 3Q, score indicates it did not get any better. IMO, we need an offensive line that can block (both pass and run), and a QB that can play on a consistent level.

Backorder, Preorder, Availability of ammo and components
jpx2rk replied to Jamie Jackson's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I've got several stocks that I could bed during this "slow" period, but all of my rifles are shooting about the best they will (all factory) so I keep thinking, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". LOL -
Backorder, Preorder, Availability of ammo and components
jpx2rk replied to Jamie Jackson's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I ordered and rec'd some 22 cal bullets I saw available online, shipping was fast via UPS, a bit pricey on the shipping but bullets are not light so.... I'm ok on primers and powders, but still look whenever I'm out and stop by stores that do stock reloading components. Some of the bullets I'm looking for still aren't available online or in stores, so I get what I can and move on. I can still load and go to the range, just have to be a bit more conservative in the number of trips. LOL. -
At least the bullet was not jammed into the lands, or it's a really really short throated chamber. LOL

Might pose your question about value over on accurateshooterdotcom, lots of LR hunters/shooters over there that might be of help. GLWS

Oh, I've been to the range numerous times, but I've been playing with a 20 Practical and 6x45 I built this past spring as well as a 22/250 I've neglected and never got a good load for. Target says I was just too stubborn to realize the 22/250 didn't like the bullets I was wanting to use.

I've got several rimfire's that don't get shot much, if any. 2 Annies from the mid -80's and some 10/22's. It may have been 6 months since I shot my R700, but can't really say for sure w/o looking at the targets.

I would go with a 3/4 ton since you tow over 3 tons basically every day. 3/4 ton will do the job w/o issue.
-
Never kept count but I usually visit the range 2x/week the majority of the time, with 10-50 rounds doing load development or just to go to get out of the house. I shoot ABRA and some PS 150 so that is 2-300 rds/month of RF.

I've read several good comments on their accuracy on different forums but have never seen or handled one.
