Interesting, but I'm skeptical given the original article is from E&E and Politico. It's just too good to be true.

I have a couple of nice S&W revolvers because J-Bar said I “needed” them. He was right. He’s a good friend!
😁
I also have an AR-15 because Kamala said I shouldn’t have one.

No. I don’t do surveys because you never know with whom your info is shared and sold.

Even as a kid, I didn’t care for the “family” shows back then - Beaver, Father Knows Best, et al. Mostly because nothing in my life or my friends’ lives looked anything like that. Might as well have been sci-fi from my POV.

As I recall, the helos used in the Bin Laden raid used some kind of noise suppression which allowed them to sneak in without the usual racket.

The picture that the Marshall posted is a woman named Gladys.
And the little guy with the bushy mustache, the long coat and the derby hat - that a lot of people just refer to as the dirty old man - his name is Tyrone F. Horn-eye.
Until today, I’d forgotten the character names. All I could remember was the bit.

Ruth and Arte are sitting on the park bench. Arte says, “Do you believe in the hereafter?”
Ruth, a little surprised says, “Why yes.”
Arte says, “Then you know what I’m here after.”
Ruth whacks him repeatedly with her purse until he falls off the bench.

I think that meme I just posted was made by AI.
Look at the cards. In his left hand he has the I of clubs. On the table in front of him he has the U of clubs and the S of clubs.
In all my years of playing cards I have never seen those three cards.
I’ve never seen a four of hearts with just two hearts either.

I found these which say 6 missions over Europe. Underage enlistments weren’t uncommon then. Too bad there isn’t more to be found about him.

“The Great Race” starring Tony Curtis & Jack Lemmon is one of the greatest movie comedies ever that was inspired by this race.

Redding 44-40 Profile crimp left, LFCD right...same 43-214A cast bullet. No trimming necessary for either...except for max length or case mouth uniformity.
Do you cast those yourself, or do have a supplier? My 200 gr from a variety of suppliers have a different shape that doesn’t work well with Redding Profile die. By the time I get a decent crimp, the bullet has been shoved too deep in case. The LFCD maintains the seating depth better.

I saw one years ago - a cousin to demolition derby where collisions are the whole point. Entertaining for about on lap, but not more. YMMV.

I have no experience with ultrasonic cleaners. However...
I shot CAS with blackpowder and smokeless loads from 1998 to 2020. I cleaned my blackpowder brass with water+Dawn detergent, 30 minute soak, shake it by hand for a minute, then water rinse and air dry in the sun. When dry, it went into the vibratory tumbler with corn cob media and a few drops of Dillon case polish, along with any smokeless cases that were laying around (no attempt to segregate them, didn't matter, they reloaded fine). None of the cases were deprimed before washing or tumbling. I have NEVER cleaned a primer pocket in my life. The old primer was removed when the case was reloaded. I think the spent primer protected the pocket from all kinds of mischief while being washed and polished.
My point of all this is - I think you are making extra work for yourself by depriming first. Also by worrying about black discoloration inside the case. If the case is dry on the inside and shiny on the outside reload it.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Before you go wailing on the wedge, make sure the other end of the wedge isn't resting on the bench. I like to elevate the barrel with a nice Wine Cork. After you get the wedge out, you should "fit" the wedge so you can push the spring tab just pst the far side with Heavy thumb pressure. Same same for getting the wedge out in the future. It is unfortunate some Ham Hock at Pietta initially fit the wedge with a mallet.
When fitting a wedge, file only on the FLAT side (toward the cylinder) and NOT the rounded side.

She and Patty Wagstaff are two of the best aerobatic pilots ever and fierce competitors. I got to meet Patty. 😍 Would love to meet Svetlana. 😊
