Because to some people that $200 is an evening’s worth of tips.

My thoughts exactly. Supporters should be careful what they wish for. And where does the States-Rights Crowd sit on this?

When farce becomes reality in enough people’s minds… I can’t laugh any more.

I'm loading on a Dillon 550B. I don't know what current rules say about publishing load data, but I was at the bottom quartile of the published range. It was a light load, but still within range.

I've loaded two different batches of 38 specials using Trail Boss under 110gr bullets. In total maybe 200 rounds. These were the first rounds using Trail Boss. The loads were so inconsistent that I'm honestly nervous about using any more of this powder. I wasn't using a chronograph, but among the 200 rounds for 4 near-squibs which spat the bullets forward about 20' until they hit the ground. And there were significant variations in sound and felt recoil. These loads were all within published data from Hodgson. I'm an experienced reloader who's put together thousands of 38 rounds, mostly with Bullseye. The primers were all CCI which has been my go-to for years. I'm kinda mystified as the only element which sticks out is the Trail Boss. But I also know that parts have been using it for years with great success. Does anyone have thoughts or a similar experience?

It reminds me of various contests held within the military and law enforcement communities. Take any group of professional Alpha men and women and it’s only natural for them to compete and see who’s best. I’m happy for them and impressed by their skills. I’m even happy for the accountants, lawyers, baristas, gamers, whatevers who buy gear called “tactical” and compete in these contests on weekends. As long as they’re staying safe and keeping the game in perspective, more power to them.

Been thinking about you,Bob. Glad to hear from you.

Guns of August used to have a dump target where you opened the outhouse and fired all pistol rounds into a dummy. He’d get pretty scorched by day’s end, especially by the Warthog Posse.

Hornady used to have a line of “tracer” ammo called Vector. It was fun to shoot and bright enough to be seen in the day. The best part was that the tracing compound was way different than conventional GI ammo. Much less risk of fires.

They serve the spectrum of classic diner dishes but are most famous for their breakfasts.

Shoot it on a private range with enough moisture in the foliage to prevent a fire. He might be a fool, or he might be intelligent, responsible, and curious. I give him benefit of the doubt.

Feels! I had a similar experience years ago, but it involved a gosling which got separated from the mother Canada goose. We put Baby in a box and carried it about 200 yards to where the main flock was. When Mama heard her baby squeaking, she took off flying straight to us. We set the box on the ground and let baby go. A very happy scene unfolded!

How old do you have to be before figuring out what to care about and what to ignore? I’m slowly narrowing the first group and letting a lot fall into the latter.

Yes, he did. President Carter was also a brilliant engineer and courageous Navy officer. https://www.military.com/history/how-jimmy-carter-saved-canadian-nuclear-reactor-after-meltdown.html Enjoy your rest, Mr President. You have earned it.

Do the railroad companies periodically grind the top of rails with an angled pattern? Walking around the city and crossing tracks I have seen the marks in various degrees of covering the rails, including this one today. You can see the angled marks on the sides of the rails. In the middle it looks like they have just been worn off. Do they occasionally grind to improve traction? Curious minds want to know.
