Widder’s right. You talk a lot.

Got most of my stuff packed and ready to go. Still got a few things in the laundry, but they’ll be ready in another hour or so. The foot doctor has warned me that if I mess up her work, she’s gonna do radical surgery on my cranium!! She added some extra padding in my bandage and the walking boot. Between the folks at Ponderosa Pines and and all my Posse Ten compadres, I think I’ll be well cared for and watched after.

Ole TW always goes undercover when he goes to a liquor store.....Baptists don't recognize anybody when they are in the liquor store. Kajun (what is a Baptist but only imbibes occasionally for medicinal purposes only)

Crimp die needs adjusted. This happened to me when I was using mixed manufacturers. I now use Starline exclusively and after adjusting for these I have not had a problem. I also crimp in a separate stage to reduce this problem.

I know this post is 'stealing' the thread, but I gotta share this with the Wire Pards. For about 4 or 5 years now, TW and I will get together to sell a gun or swap a gun, etc..... and in the process, we usually meet somewhere we can have a good meal. Now, for all these times we've met, TW would always order 3 beers. Really. And A couple years back, I ask him.....'WHY do you always order 3 beers'? TW told me that when his 2 brothers moved out west (Texas and Montana), they agreed to have a beer for each other when they were able. The 2 extra beers were to honor his brothers..... and they in turn did the same when they were somewhere to get a drink. Anyhow, last week, TW and I met in Murfreesboro cause I was buying a nice varmint scope from him. At the restaurant, TW only orders 2 beers. Naturally, in my best somber voice, I expressed my condolences on what appeared to be that one of his brothers had passed away. TW says: Oh No! its nothing like that. You see, my wife made me join a Baptist Church and now I can't have one for myself". Another true story..... cause you just can't make this stuff up! ..........Widder

Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick · Just in time for the feast day. St. George knows it takes at least a week on the spit to get dragon just right. (With lemon!) Also, eating dragons is Biblical (Ps. 74:14). I thought that the style of the icon looked Ethiopean/Eritrean. Святой Отец Георгий Моли Бога о нас.

Many tears ago one of the OR gun clubs had board members that were very hesitant regarding allowing CAS shooting on their range. Particularly the use of loading tables oriented into side berms. I provided copies of the SHB and RO1 course materials to them and attended a board meeting to answer questions emphasizing the many safety protocols that SASS has in place. SASS/CAS has been one of that club's most popular disciplines for many years since. (a number of the original Wild Bunch members have attended annual matches there in the past, including the OR State match at one time).

“The Kilted Killer’s” flashy battle attire and relentless tenacity earned him a 30,000 Franc bounty on his head for whichever German could kill him first.” “Sir Tommy Macpherson made it through the entire war despite the Germans’ determination to take him out — even orchestrating the surrender of 23,000 German troops at the Das Reich Headquarters by bluffing that the Royal Air Force would unleash hell if they didn’t cooperate. In reality, Machpherson was alone and the RAF had no idea he was there, but he still managed to convince German Gen. Botho Henning Elster to give up his men and vehicles. Macpherson walked away from World War II as the The UK’s most decorated living soldier in history, earning the Military Cross for his escape from a Nazi prison camp in Poland, a papal knighthood and two bars for his valiant — and unusual — service.” Story by Emma Liem - We are the mighty

As usual, I agree with half of what you said. Widder is not right!

Lo Bueno Lo Malo y Lo Feo

If you can, seat and crimp in 2 separate stations. Make sure you are using enough case mouth flare to let the bullet enter.

Don't wet tumble with the fired primers in place

Yes, that is due to pressure applied to the bullet that then transfers to the case, crumpling it Usually a seat and crimp in one die causes this. Although if you are not careful, even a two die set seating with one and crimping with the other can still be adjusted to crush a long case. Along with cases of varying lengths. The longest cases have the mouth tight up against the crimp groove's top. Crimping then means that there is no place for the mouth of the case to turn into the groove. So the case gives way. You also have more crimp than is needed. Back off the seater stem to let the mouth come to the middle of the bullet's crimp groove, and back off the die itself to lessen the AMOUNT of crimp being formed. You may need to do this in two steps. Back off both the die body and the seater stem by a turn or two. Lower the seater stem of the die to put the edge of the mouth in the middle of the crimp groove. Then lower the die body (and slightly raise the seater stem before) until you form enough crimp turn in to hold the bullet. Now the die body is set. Try the next bullet by adding back the same amount of rotation that you took off the stem, back onto the stem. Check that you still have a good crimp and it's located a business card thickness below contacting the bullet band right above the crimp groove. You have to have that "free space" between the mouth and the band of lead to prevent contact and the crushing. good luck, GJ

Are you using a combination seat/crimp die? This has happened to me before when I have the die body screwed too far down such that the crimp starts being applied before the seating action is completed. I still use the combo dies but I make double sure they're backed off enough not to crimp, and I then crimp in a separate station.

Is it possible that you are way over crimping?

Check your cases after each station on the press to find where it’s happening! Also spot check your brass to be sure that the cases don’t need trimming!!

That happened to me with some 32 HR mag cartridges - changed bullet profile cause it was what I had but they wouldn’t chamber all the way. Didn’t do what @Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 does - reseated and had that sliver of lead around mouth. They chambered FINE! It was unloading them that was a pain. I was at a match so I got my handy dandy pocket knife and removed the offending sliver! Fortunately, I did NOT have 600! I am usually smarter than that - you change one thing - you CHECK that it’s gonna work. Lesson learned! Big hugs! Scarlett

Would PETA have complained?

That's a little disillusioning, you know? Seeing those sheep in the background implies that George was hunting dragon over bait. Very unsportsmanlike.

You are hitting the puller too hard! I just finished reseating about 150 rounds that loaded 0.100" too long. That puller is 10 years old and has probably pulled thousands of rounds by now, including some mil surplus rifle rounds. good luck, GJ

Ingredients Part of a package of pre cooked lasagna noodles 2 Italian sausages 1/2 lb each of hamburger and pork sausage 1/4 cup breadcrumbs Small ricotta egg Shredded mozzarella Grated parmesan Spaghetti sauce Italian herbs of choice Nutmeg Olive oil Start oven at 350° Mix the hamburger, pork sausage and breadcrumbs, let stand for a bit and form into small walnut sized meatballs cook them and the Italian sausage in a little olive oil till done and set aside. Slice the sausage 1/2 inch crosswise when cool. Mix the ricotta, egg and nutmeg till blended Spray the bread pan with Pam olive oil. cover the bottom of the pan with spaghetti sauce (1/4 cup may do the trick), break noodles to fit and cover the sauce with fitted noodles - they can overlap a bit (alternate direction of the noodles for each layer) add a layer of the ricotta mix and stud densely with either sausage slices or meatballs cover with Mozzarella and cover that with another layer of the noodles and a scoop of sauce, ricotta, and whichever meat you didn't use for the first layer. top with Mozza, noodles, sauce use whatever ricotta you have left to spread thinly across the top layer, then mozza and a good sprinkle of parmesan spray one side of a sheet of aluminum foil and cover the breadpan oiled side down Bake (pan on a cookie sheet to avoid mess) in the oven for 20 minutes or so, then uncover for 10 or 15. let stand for 10 minutes. This is great if you make it completely the day before and heat it / let it stand before serving the next day Spices - garlic, oregano, basil in the sauce to your taste or a jar of Classico Traditional Pizza Sauce does a good job

I got Red Knee's address somewhere but I probably can't find it right now. I used it a couple times to send him some SNICKER candy bars for Christmas. He Loves SNICKER bars. If the TN State were to award a years supply of SNICKER bars to the SG Side Match speed winner, Red Knee would probably show up and beat everyone. CG: tell Gut C and Skrap P to be at their best. I plan to show no mercy and take no prisoners..... The State record for 6 KD's is 4.24 seconds. If they beat that, I'll give them a box of AA's Low Noise, Low Recoil. (25 round box). ..........Widder

Good for you. I haven't figured it out yet. PF

Can't wait to see you guys next week!

@DocWard is right, fresh ground coffee is well worth the effort!

Stew did remind the crowd “You people VOTED for these stages!” I thought Bill’s stage was fun. I don’t believe anyone on my posse got a P on that stage. Some people complain too much.

Dang LLP, you is a 'Bad Man'..... You oughta be teaching ole TW a few tricks. ..........Widder

JAPANESE SUBMARINES ATTACKED SYDNEY HARBOUR - WW11 Hendry, 19, who was serving on the iconic Fort Denison in the heart of Sydney Harbour told Nine News he would never forget the evening the city's defences were breached and the country was put on 'very, very intense alert'. 'We were told to scan the water and we fired one or two rounds at what we thought were submarines. But it was pitch black out there and very difficult to see,' he said. The alert came after one of three Japanese submarines tangled in preventative netting near the headlands at the entrance of the harbour, not far from where the 'mother ships' were lurking. The second submarine made it to Garden Island, near the Royal Botanic Gardens, but was destroyed by depth charges shot by a bevvy of international war ships that were stationed in the harbour at the time. It was the third submarine that would cause most of the damage, as it made its way towards the USS Chicago, a large American cruiser ship. The submarine fired torpedoes at the ship, but missed, instead hitting and ultimately destroying the HMAS Kuttabul, claiming the lives of 21 Australian and British sailors. 'Many of the victims had been sleeping and just didn't stand a chance,' Mr Hendry said. Sydney was under attack and the city was in chaos. The affluent Eastern Suburbs were evacuated as sirens and explosions rang out among the late night sky. Brian George, a nine-year-old resident of Bellevue Hill at the time, told Daily Mail Australia he still 'vivdly remembered the whirring sounds of shells flying overhead'. 'One of the motherships was not far off Bondi and they were firing shells over us towards the Rose Bay base. I remember a couple of shells hit not far from our house, one struck a building nearby.' His father was an air-raid warden, so as he and his family were quickly rushed into a bunker, his father had to ensure the rest of the area was safe.

Don't have to type...... Just need to say "Hey Google" and ask your question.

If you can type, to access Google, doesn't sound like you got a whole lot of bone damage.

A new form of revenue must be in sight. And yes, I had to read it twice as well.

Not the best news from the doctor this morning!! While the most part of the incision has healed well, there are two small sections that had scabbed over, but the skin has not grown in under it. The doctor debrieded the skin around the incision and packed it with collagen then reclosed the incision with steri-strips. Reckon this will set me back about walking a little while longer. The good news is that, overall, it’s still trying to heal up and fill in, there’s no sign of infection, and all of the original swelling is completely gone. The best news is that Schoolmarm and I got to visit our favorite Italian restaurant and market when we left the doctor’s office. They treated us like we were long lost family that were loved and missed!! Our server and good friend treated Schoolmarm to free wine and me to some of the best New York style cheesecake I’ve had anywhere!! AND!! We picked up some great Italian delectables to take home too!!

Pat!! Schoolmarm’s kidney doctor told her to NEVER take another Metformin pill!! My diabetes specialist told me that she wouldn’t prescribe it to anyone, EVER! I know a dozen others who have had trouble with the drug and quit taking it in favor of another medication. Metformin is inexpensive! That is the only reason I can think of for using it and my health is worth a lot more than a few bucks! Disclaimer!!: To the best of my knowledge, all diabetic medications are hard on the kidneys. My doctors have me checked REGULARLY for kidney function!! I go and get checked every three months, RELIGIOUSLY!! Pat, I highly recommend that you do the same!!! That goes for all the rest of you diabetics and pre-diabetics!!
