  1. Going along with what Forty posted the big thing was the number of hours as kids that we were allowed to leave the house and go off and play with our friends often with no adult supervision. My brother and I would get the lawn mowed, a couple of chores  on Saturday and we were free to heasout for the day. 

     

    Also we were allowed to ride our bikes quite a distance around town. I remember a lot of Saturday movies at the theater with nothing but kids.

    Who?

     

    I was dating a girl who saw them on Ed  Sullivan's show and she couldn't get over their hair being "longer than any girls I know".

     

    Their hair was long for a guy at that time. Only giirls with a pixie cut would have similar length hair. No way their hair was longer then the average girl when they were on Ed Sullivan. Not even close.

  3. There are so many. Eric Burdon was mentioned. He is someone who I think is really under rated, big time.

     

    The Mark and Brian radio show used to have musicians on and get them to play a song or two. Ann Wilson sounded amazing, just like her recordings live in their studio. Tom Jones was another good one.

    Sure there is. He thinks that it will increase his popularity if people know he thinks that way too.

     

    Then he would be acknowledging that not everyone thinks that way. As opposed to saying his type thinks everyone thinks the way he does as you said.

    I'll watch the show. It is well made. If I didn't watch a movie or TV show because of leftists, I'd never watch anything. I'm not taking the guy out to dinner, just watching a show.

     

    That's generally what I do too. But occasionally someone goes out of their way, unprovoked, to get their big opinion out there that they know about 50% of people disagree with.. Others you have to dig into to find their opinions.

  6. As has been pointed out it's difficult to find any show or movie that doesn't have people involved on some level with these kinds of beliefs.  I ignore some of it so I can watch some things. But occasionally someone like this comes out with these statements, voluntarily, the lead actor, and I can't ignore it. Liked him but done with his shows.

  7. She didn't fully do her job and should have put her foot down and said no if they were trying to have her do too many jobs. But I believe they hired her, inexperienced, probably lower paid because they thought they could pressure her into speeding things up, skipping some steps, doing what they (the producers) wanted knowing they couldn't do that with an experienced more highly paid armorer. I could be wrong but this seems like a good possibility. Producer/actor saying let's go right away after a take pushing to move along, supports this.

  8. I started with APP, called Cleanshot at the time, but did not have good results with regular lubed bullets. Started loading real BP and got it figured out after a while. Once you have the right bullet/lube loading and shooting BP is easy.

    It gets better. Several years ago she was visiting NASA being shown the Mars lander, and she asked if it could go to where the Apollo astronauts landed.:wacko:

     

    She was also on some space agency committee if I remember correctly. And still believes the moon is predominantly gaseous .

    How long is your rifle barrel?  With non-Big Lube bullets lubed with SPG and a 20" barrel I don't have any issues.

     

    It depends on exactly what bullet you are using that's not a Big Lube. Some do hold enough BP lube. But I've seen outfits that offered the same bullet with standard lube or BP lube that had a tiny lube groove that didn't  work. Some shooters use smokeless lubed bullets with real BP "without issue" but they run a boresnake after each stage. But there are other bullets that can work besides the Big Lubes.

  11. Someone posted in the past that included diagrams of many bullet moulds. May have been Accurate not sure. There were several designs that looked like they would work well with BP and hold enough lube in two good sized lube grooves. Can't remember if any had one large one like the Big Lubes. But many of the popular smokeless rnfp bullets will hold a very small amount of BP lube if you try to relube them.
