I Could Use Some Assistance - Caption This: Updated

Hold my tea and watch this. -
Things also go down hill pretty quickly when my brain starts to boil in this Georgia summer heat.

My 12yo Granddaughter....our new club Buckerette!
Badlands Bob #61228 replied to Buckshot Bear's topic in SASS Wire
Just get her some cheap foam ear plugs. They work the best for me and no problem wearing the hat. I buy them by the sack. -
As a double cocker, the split pistol scenario is a potential problem. Getting done shooting the 5 shot string and finding yourself with a cocked pistol is at the minimum a P. When faced with a split pistol stage, I'll draw both pistols but only cock one. Shoot the one shot, then double cock, double cock. The sequence is done, and I have both hammers down on spent rounds. Safe to move. Usually, the 1st single shot is from my left pistol. That way, I can remember that my last single shot will be my right pistol. It's all about finding what works for you and doing it every time.

I'm a double cocker so I cock both pistols and then shoot both of them, then recock and repeat. I can change leads effortlessly and I don't get tangled up shooting the target on the left with the right pistol or crossing one pistol over the other. Figuring out how to shoot the targets in the correct sequence can be tricky since it' hard to convert 5 shot strings into 2 shot sequences. I go over my plan using fingers several times at the loading table.

I don't know of a specific requirement to tell them they are under arrest; however, it's kind of common courtesy to do so. Putting the handcuffs on them and stuffing them in the backseat of the patrol car makes it kind of obvious.

Suicide is the easy way out. Let them serve the next 40+ years in a prison and then die from medical malpractice in their old age.

.303 at 3000 yards, using the volley sights
Badlands Bob #61228 replied to Buckshot Bear's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I've got a 6.5 Creedmoor that will reach out there, but It's rated for about 1,200 meters. Much past that, and it's a lot of luck. -

I wish I had a 3,000 yard range to shoot on. We have a local club that has a 600 meter rifle range but that's it around here. Too many people and too many hills. -

One of the great pioneers of space. I raise my cup to a man who lived a long and accomplished life. Well done. -
Donate your unwanted pet

Now, this might be worth exploring. -
Donate your unwanted pet

I have threatened to trade my little dog for a cat, but I'd never feed him to something at the zoo. That's just wrong. -
This is where the system is breaking down. If the lien is obviously false and it was obviously filed by false swearing, there is no reason the detective needs to wait until the victim hires a lawyer to clear up the civil part. Gather the evidence, take witness statements and the take the arrest warrants. Put the person in jail with a large bond. Conditions of bond can be an order not to file any additional liens or harass the victim or bond is revoked. It's not hard to beat sovereign citizens at their own game. You just have to be willing to go after them.
-
It's not a big problem if the D.A.'s office and law enforcement agency will pursue these criminals and charge them with perjury and false swearing. Throw them in jail and send them to prison. Problem solved and message sent. The problem comes when somebody gets a yellow streak down their back and won't get involved.
-
Put it in the oven? OK, maybe wait until the wife has gone shopping? Nah, probably not a good idea.
-
We had training on the Sovereign Citizen movement way back in the 90's. Some of them are white supremist dangerous and others are just stupid and trying to get away with driving with suspended license, expired tags and no insurance. Always call for backup and don't listen to their BS about Coast Guard maritime navigation laws. They don't apply to my Govenor's highway.

Are they the same brand of brass? Some brass is thicker than others. Sizing results from different brands of dies can vary some too. I would not be surprised if there isn't a difference between the steel and carbide resizing die. Different amounts of friction could add to the case stretching. As long as they are within spec and you trim them to length, you should be good to go.
-
Case stretching after sizing is normal. The solution is case trimming to the proper length. There are lots of case trimming devices, powered and manual available. I use the Frankford Arsenal case trimmer. Usually, I can get 3 firings before the rifle case needs trimming. Most of my experience is with bottle neck rifle cartridges. The straight walled pistol cases, I just shoot until they split.

Walmart will probably ban him for bringing a firearm onto their property. -
Winchester/miruko rifle extracting issues
Badlands Bob #61228 replied to Sheriff Dill's topic in SASS Wire
Those extractors will lose their tension over time and need to be replaced. They can also get worn so they slip off the rim of the case. Scarlett sells a fancy device to hold the bolt and make replacing the extractor much easier. You can buy a new extractor from Cowboy and Indian store for about $50.00. Try the cleaning first but if that extractor has lost tension, it's time to replace it. -
I've found that if it's cold enough to affect my powder, it's too cold for Bob to be out shooting.

The 200 gr round nose flat point lead bullet is what I use in my Wild Bunch rifle. I load with 5.2 gr of Titegroup powder. I only use the coated bullets for the 1911 since I think it improves feeding. I found that coated bullets are about 1/3 more expensive than lead bullets. I don't find the extra expense necessary in the rifle or revolvers.
-
I case gauge check every round. A little piece of stray lead, bulged case or even stray bullet lube can cause the round to not chamber in the rifle smoothly. Next thing you know, you have jacked out a live round. I also spin the cylinders of my revolvers after loading them at the loading table. It will catch any high primers before they lock up your cylinder. I use Federal Magnum small pistol primers because in the rare event of a squib load, the magnum primer will actually push the lead bullet out of the barrel. Federal #200's cost the same at Federal #100's so why not have the insurance. Yes, it has saved me a couple of times over the last 20 years. I always carry my ammo to the loading table in a loading block. That way I don't lose count when loading the rifle and have to start over. Occasionally the stage will call for something different than 10 rounds in the rifle. It's easier for me to adjust the loading block at my gun cart than at the loading table. Hard to overload the rifle if I didn't even take the round to the loading table. Most malfunctions are mental. Develop good habits and you'll find the malfunctions are minimal.

It's really hard to argue against the truth and people can only swallow so much political spin before they tune you out. Making fun of people spinning the truth towards a political agenda is easy because they provide all your material.

I won a Lewis Lead Remover kit at one the shoots. Since I had been shooting my NMV's for about 15 years and put quite a few lead rounds down the barrels, I figured they would be full of lead. I was expecting to pull out strings of lead from the rifling. I got nothing out. I've been cleaning the guns with Hoppe's #9 and a brush when they got gummy but not after every match. I guess shooting at low velocity, I'm not getting any lead build up.
