Agree, Bullseye is a great powder and does go a long way. Disagree on not being temp or position sensitive. I too have loaded thousands, many thousands, of rounds of .38 spl (and many other calibers) with Bullseye. My experience with light loads (under 3.0 grains) in .38 spl, when used in cold weather, is that the first round out of a holstered revolver can sometimes perform almost like a squib round....the bullet comes out of the 4 5/8" barrel...barely. It ONLY happened in cold weather and only with the first round out of each revolver, never at any other time. After multiple occasions where this happened, it was enough times that I switched powders for CAS pistol rounds regardless of temperature.

Be careful in when using less than 3 grains of Bullseye in cold weather (not likely in TX at this time of year) in holstered revolvers. The first shot out of each pistol can be "interesting". Always have a good crimp also, regardless of the weather.

The dogs are probably more popular that the race these day with this Gen ? car. BTW - Martinsville is this upcoming weekend. Five hundred laps around the ole paperclip!

About 12 years ago, I was doing an electrical service upgrade and wiring for new equipment (giant sublimation machine/other equipment) at a top-of-the-line crossbow maker in Tarpon Springs, Florida. I don't remember the name of the company now, but they were bought out by Barnett Outdoors, crossbow/etc. maker. The factory is still there and producing crossbows that originated from the other company. They used to test the crossbows at the exterior rear of the building where the main service gear was located. They used Styrofoam dummies of deer/humans/etc. with multiple hay bales behind them to stop the bolts from leaving the property. One day, the Tarpon Springs Police Department came by to test their newest vests against crossbow type weapons. I didn't work out so well. They put the vest on a Styrofoam human dummy and started out with the most powerful crossbow the company made. On the very first shot, the bolt went completely thru the vest (both sides) and into the hay behind the dummy. I could tell by the expression on their faces that they were stunned by that result. They tried crossbows with less power but almost all of them penetrated the vest so far that the wound would probably be fatal. Even the "kiddie" crossbows managed to get a bolt about an inch into the vests. Note - None of the vest they tried had plates, they only used 3 vests and each vest was shot multiple times

An oil drilling rig. With the mini-ice age just around the corner starting about 1200, might as well get a jump on global warming.

Boy, you guys seem to know a lot about burying/hiding bodies. I know nothing. I saw nothing!

See folks! I'm not the only one!

Another Tampa band.... Green Grass and High Tides Song by The Outlaws In a place you only dream of Where your soul is always free Silver stages, golden curtains Filled my head, plain as can be As a rainbow grew around the sun All the stars above who died came from Somewhere beyond the scene you see These lovely people played just for me Now if I let you see this place Where stories all ring true Will you let me past your face To see what's really you It's not for me I ask this question As though I were a king For you have to love, believe, and feel Before the burst of tambourines take you there Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone, souls and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you Those who don't believe me Find your souls and set them free Those who do, believe and know This time will be your key Time and time again I've thanked them For a peace of mind That helped me find myself Amongst the music and the rhyme That enchants you there Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone, souls and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you Yeah, they play just for you

Boy, I hate square cut pizza.....unless it has the special mushroom powder on it....

Oh Great....a Coccinellidae pornogragher!

Throw the $150 on the ground, shoot 'em while they're going for that or haul butt to get some distance. OP - No I would not carry loose rounds on my person in a pocket, pouch or whatever. Only way I would carry "loose" rounds would be on a small, slip/clasp-on type cartridge belt.

No wonder people's feet hurt....they're wearing two left footed shoes!

Never tried Vegemite but pineapple....NEVER!

Everyone knows....a hotdog needs to have Miracle Whip on it w/cheese. Okay, I'm kidding (or not)....hot dogs need chili to make them truly delicious.

This ^^^^ Had this happen with various calibers of brass, primarily range pickup .30 Carbine. There is no remedy to remove corroded primers easily, trash it or recycle it.

Rarely does a couple "have a new life together" these days. Each and every "first time" wedding that I've been to in the last 20 years, the couple has lived with each other for some time before getting married. It's not a new life together but more of a legally committed life together. As far as being invited to the wedding and the amenities that may be provided, if they can't afford the extra's....don't provide them. Have a private reception or whatever is affordable. If they consider my "gift" as payment for the wedding/reception/etc...how does that absolve them from acknowledgement someone's "contribution" to the wedding/etc? Is the no longer a gift that's now a "contribution", less worthy of thanks? I don't think so. It's called courtesy, respect and a certain amount of gratitude with a simple (supposedly) heartfelt gesture. You're right, $100 doesn't go a long way for me these days, yet is increasingly hard to come by. Maybe times have passed me by, I remember when a $100 paycheck for the week meant that I had worked 40 hours + overtime in a ***t job just to make. Tell ya what TJ, send me $100...the new $20. I'll thank you profusely right here or by other means....and it'll be appreciated....from the heart.

Way back when the Clearwater police first got "bulletproof" vests, a news reporter decided it would be a good idea to put one on and have a film crew do a "Live, On The Scene" report on getting shot (on the 6:00 pm news) while wearing one of the new vests. He carefully set up the scenario by telling watching public that he would be shot with a .38 special by a professional marksman. The reporter proudly donned the vest, stood in front of the "professional marksman" armed with a stub nosed S & W .38 standing about 5" away, with his chest poked out like Superman and proclaimed "Okay, go ahead!" The marksman then proceeded to take careful aim and shoot him directly in the middle of the chest....Perfect shot. The reporter's knees immediately buckled and fell over rearward on the ground. The shocked, pained, I'm dead look in his eyes was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on the news. What happened next was even funnier. Live on the 6:00 news, when he could say something again, loudly said Sh**, G*****N...That hurt llke hell. Didn't see much of that reporter after that

Two gallons or 8 liters if I were in most other countries.

Me either...but a simple text or acknowledgment that they received the gift is nice to know. Hell, I say thank you to the person that holds the door open for me. It kind of irks me when I do the same for a person that walks by you and never says a word. Not acknowledging a gift shows the same kind of ambivalence and disrespect imo.

So, a gift of $100, or less, is not worthy of a Thank You? Just curious, what's the minimum on the Thank You threshold?

A great champion, twice! Rest in Peace Mr. Foreman BTW - I still have your grill!

I saw the last couple that I gave a wedding gift (card w/$100 cash) didn't bother to send out any form of thank you notes. I saw them at someone else's part about a year later. They came over and were talking with me, and some others, when I asked them if they had received the card/cash. He said they had received it. I said I didn't know if they had received it or not as there was no thank you note of any kind. He said "I'm sorry, we didn't send out any thank you cards." I replied, "Well, maybe you will after your next wedding" and walked away.

I learned early, always have a good hiding place and....

And here we are 80 years later....Maybe George was right The names have changed but strange how things still remain the same.

Same here! Didn't they put a wiener on top of one and call it the Oscar Meyer Mobile many years ago?
