You know my biggest problem with the progressives is powder handling. I don't think any of them have it figured out.
Now that I've calmed down a bit, care to expound a little? Are you talking about how difficult it can sometimes be to dial in your charge?

That'd do it. Sucks to lose some primers, but glad it wasn't something major. Knock on wood my 550b has run great. What other parts have you had issues with?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI had to replace the primer seating cup spring (14033) and I somehow lost the primer feed stop ping (14051). I now have several of each on hand just in case.

The blue tip to the primer tube on the press.

Well, I may have to once again wait on a part. I called twice because the first lady I spoke with apparently misunderstood my request for troubleshooting assistance with a threat to pee in her Wheaties. After about three minutes of attitude I "accidentally" hung up on her. The second guy was much more helpful. Wish me luck with part replacement #3.

I've never used large primers, so I doubt that. Besides, it worked for years and just the past few times it has been testing my already limited patience.

I'm at my wit's end with my 550. The last 5 hours I've spent reloading have probably netted about 100 rounds. Today was no exception. I spent over an hour to get 32 rounds, which used 232 primers. How the hell does that happen you might ask. Well, I'll tell you. I loaded 32 rounds with only about 20 problems before I ran out of primers, then I put 100 primers in the tube only to have them end up all over my garage when they fell straight through. I thought it might have been because I had the handle down, so I put it back up and watched the next 100 do the same thing.
Now, before I buy 10,000lbs of C4 and take this thing out to the dessert and blow it into pieces that even CSI mother ********** Miami wouldn't be able to positively identify, can anyone give me an idea what the problem might be? The last two times I've reloaded I've had to order parts before I could continue. If I have to order another part, I'm going the C4 route.

Dang! That means I gotta get up at an unreasonable hour on a Saturday morning!
But I plan on being there.
UN. UNreasonable hour. Any hour that doesn't have two digits is wholly unreasonable on a weekend. ;)

This will be my first season. During deer season about a hundred flew in and landed right in front of my blind once. About half that many another time. Here's hoping they make it that easy when it counts.

Dang it! First day of turkey season. I'll be in the fields or on my way home at that time. You fellas have an extra good time for me, mkay?

I wonder if it mangled his leg or tore it clean off.
It's amazing he is alive regardless. That would be a lot of blood.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIn the video he seems to scream, "It tore my leg off." I'm guessing that's what he meant.
Don't be too hard on the guy. How do you think he's feeling right about now? We've ALL been young and stupid. He was trying to have a good time and his lesson will hopefully help save many others the same fate.

I'd also like to add that I find it amusing how you point out that braiding hair and holding up traffic are two different things and then compare reckless driving and pointing a loaded gun with holding up traffic. Mmm hmmm.

So if you are walking down the street and someone is walking toward you, pointing a loaded gun in your direction with their finger on the trigger then as long as they walk on past you without shooting you - meaning no one was harmed - then there was no crime? Okay. Gotcha.
Creating traffic hazards and driving recklessly as complaints against these bikers stated they were doing is no less a threat to life/limb/property than someone walking down the street pointing a gun at you. But, hey, what's a little danger to innocent bystanders when these guys were having fun, right?
You know what? You've convinced me. Some people may have had to move their foot to the left a few inches and apply the brakes and use their steering wheels for its intended purpose rather than as a stand for their newspaper or their bowl of soup. I say we nuke them all from low earth orbit. Hell, this is practically a gang of Hitlers on two wheels.
In fact, fuck it. I say we just legalize running these bastards off the road if you so much as have to use your mirror for something other than applying your lipstick.
-
Endangering the lives of other drivers by creating traffic hazards and driving recklessly is hardly the same as braiding hair without the 'proper' training. Those things are hardly 'victimless' crimes.
Sorry, I missed the part where someone was injured or had other property rights violated. Could you point me in the right direction so I can better understand who the victims were and how they were injured? -
There is a BIG difference between what is just and what is legal in this day and time.
BINGO! -
Well, as there are laws against such things as reckless driving, etc.and as breaking the law constitutes committing a crime I have to disagree with your definition of 'crime'. Further, the cop pulled the pickup truck over because it was blocking traffic, etc. so, yes, they were engaged in at least some of those activities at the time and were, therefore, obviously the group of bikers on whom had complaints had been called in.
Again, the jerk cop was not justified in the actions he took and I am not defending those actions. Some people are jerks and some of those jerks happen to have a badge and uniform. Heck, I am one of the members of this forum who is often most critical of rogue cop behavior and I do not buy the, "It's a hard job and you wouldn't want to do it," stuff as a justification for being a jerk. All I am saying is that the group of bikers were engaging in jerkish (as well as illegal) activity, as well. As I said, some people are jerks and some jerks happen to have a badge and uniform - just as some jerks happen to ride motorcycles, alone or in groups.
And I'm not defending jerkish behavior. But, no victim, no crime. Just because the state has said it is don't make it right. Hell, the state has said that teaching someone to braid hair without four times the number of hours required to become and EMT is a crime. The state has said that massaging someone's horse for money without a veterinary license is a crime. Yea, I get that in the "legal" sense it is, but from a justice standpoint, it's a crock.

I don't think that's accurate.
I'm afraid it is. It doesn't matter how completely unjust the law is, you must either obey it or submit to arrest. If you resist an arrest, even for an obviously unjust law, you will be met with violence up to and including deadly force.
But don't take my word for it. Ask Eric Garner. Oh wait, you can't. He was killed for not paying the government a tax on cigarettes.-

As a matter of fact, no I don't consider them to be crimes. Annoying, douchebaggy, and assholish, yes. But remember, all crimes authorize police to use deadly force. I don't believe being a douchebag is worth shooting someone over.Well, unless you consider reckless driving, impeding traffic, creating a traffic hazard, driving in excess of the speed limit plus (specific to the group in the pickup) driving without a license and standing in the open back of a moving pickup truck to be crimes - which, well, they are. Like I said, plenty of jackholery to go around in this incident.
And let us not forget: This cop had no way of knowing these were the same bikers, nor is there any evidence they were doing any of this at the time. He sprayed them because he could. He will get away with it. He committed assault and not a charge will be filed. I wonder how it would have turned out had the roles been reversed.-

There were multiple complaints called in on this group of bikes. Apparently, at various times they were driving at speeds far below the limit, holding up traffic, so a group of people standing in the back of a pickup truck at the head of their line could film them. There were complaints of some members of this group of bikers driving recklessly at excessive speeds and weaving in, out and around traffic, 'popping wheelies' and so on. At one point, the pickup truck with the folks in the back who were filming the bikers turned crossways in the road and blocked traffic so that this group of bikers could pass and the group could be filmed. This is a public roadway, not a friggin' movie set or a closed course. Based on those complaints, the bikers and their associates in the truck were creating hazardous traffic situations as well as being a nuisance. In fact, it appears that the vehicle the officer had pulled over was that very pickup truck - one of the biker group's 'safety vehicles' - that was blocking traffic to film and so on.. In light of that, I think it is entirely possible that some of the bikers were intentionally 'buzzing' him. Further, the driver of the truck was charged with driving with no license. Now, I am not saying that what the cop did is excusable - it is not - but these bikers were no innocent bunch of lambs, either. In fact, if the complaints called in have any truth to them then their actions sound a lot like that bunch of douche bags that dragged a father out of his SUV and beat him up a few years ago. Anyone who has ever driven across 'the Tail of the Dragon' knows that - while many folks on two wheels are courteous and safe - some of them act like they own the public roads and that no one else has a right to be on them. Apparently, many of the motorcyclists in this incident fall into the latter group. As I said, that does not excuse what the cop did because if he had caused an accident by pepper spraying the bikers then that could have resulted in serious injury to the bikers as well as bystanders.
Honestly, speaking of movie sets, if this incident were to be made into a movie it sounds like a good title would be "Jerk Cop vs. Jerk Bikers: Clash of the Mega-Douches".
So the cliff notes version of the story is the bikers were annoying and harmed nobody so the cop attacked them. In the first part of the story there was no victim, therefore no crime. in the second part there was at least one victim, therefore a crime.

Yeah......no. Sorry. I think a "do over" is required here.
This was the do over. The first attempt orange peeled really badly, so I had to strip and reapply. ;)

This actually isn't how I planned on doing this, but I misread the instructions for doing it the way I did want and ended up with this. However, the more I look at it, the less disappointed I am with how it turned out. The green on this is actually closer to Magpul foliage, but my iPhone makes it look a bit blue.

Tom Woods had a great guest on his show this week discussing this issue. He was not what you would call a climate change skeptic. In fact, he referred to himself and like minded scientists as "lukewarmers;" scientists who believe that humans are having an effect on climate, but not nearly to the extent that the hysterical alarmists believe. He brought up a couple of really good points that are ignored in the media. First is, if you recognize that global warming is causing more bad weather, like tornadoes or hurricanes, you must also recognize that it's causing more good weather, like sunny days with warm temperatures. Second is that colder global temperatures tend to be associated with bad times, like the plague in Europe, while warmer weather tends to be associated with good times, like when they grew wine grapes in England.

Need a sight recommendation for my AR-15
in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Posted
Hi all, long time no see.
Years ago I built an AR-15 and, not wanting to shell out the bucks for an Eotech, I decided on the Sightmark knock-off. While they do come with a lifetime warranty, and they do deliver on that promise, it's pretty lame that I've gotten about two hours of use out of two Sightmark sights in seven years. So I'm looking for a replacement. I'm still not willing to shell out $700 or more for a sight for a gun that will only ever be used for fun, but if I can find a decent one for $200 or less I'll pay it.
So what are your recommendations? I have a Nikon scope, so I'm set for distance shooting. I'm looking for a red dot or holo type sight that won't break the bank. What say you?
Thanks.
