  1. Reloading on a Mec progressive press like a 650 or 9000 (Mav’s press) is way different with an adjustable charge bar than on a manual 600 Jr. I have one for my 650 and put it away after way too much fiddling and unreliable cycling. A total waste of time in my experience on my machine. 
     

    I have 2 loads for cowboy shooting - black powder and smokeless. The only difference is the bushing for powder. I load enough at one time that changing the bushing is a tiny fraction of a loading session. I don’t mind making the switch for reliability and consistency. 
     

    YMMV

    Those are pics of the Tallahassee sea monster, otherwise known as “Tessie”.  Just popping her head up for some fresh air and a look see…

    A nice in your face Boeing!

    ….And back atcha Space X. They ain’t deep enough in orbit to take pics like this from the X-37, much less land on a runway with no humans aboard. 
     

    Good on both companies. 🇺🇸

    Is there such a place as Bahama?

     

    I've heard of a group of islands called "the Bahamas". With an S.

     

    But in the Beach Boys song KOKOMO, they go to Bahama. Is this simply a little literary messing around to make the rhythm work? Or is there actually a place called Bahama?

     

     

    The main island is named Grand Bahama

  5. In my 40+ years of living in the Kansas City area, I've run across a number of people who claim to have a personal connection by birth or association to Jesse James, or "reliable" knowledge that he didn't die in St. Joseph, MO.

     

    I also heard Elvis was seen in my neighborhood recently...

  6. Was living and working in NYC at the time. Got to watch the first ever Tall Ships parade sail down the Hudson River. Despite large crowds under and on top of streets, everyone was in a good mood and behaved themselves that day.

  7. And there was Miss Julie who made it back to England. Miraculously, only the bombardier was lost. I can’t find the account, but the writer said the howling and shrieking of the torn metal could heard from miles ahead of its landing.

    The F-8 Crusader introduced in 1957 is the last fighter to have an internal gun.

    F-18, F-15, F-22 and others have Vulcan cannons. I believe the F4 was the last fighter to not have an internal gun.
