COFFEE!!!! What army were you with. Ours only had chicory.

Alpo, Think of an empty pool as an odd shaped boat. Put enough water around it and it will float. Simply the physics of water displacement. Getting one back in the ground can be very hard. To prevent further damage to the pool better call a professional. BTW Concrete boats have been around since at least 1848. I Here is a picture of the Tall Ship Larinda. She was launched in 1996

Never ever underestimate the persistence of a Donkey. They can wear down granite and bend it to their will.

Imagine the most annoying person you have ever had to stand in line next to while they have a loud animated phone call. Now imaging being trapped in the seat next to them on a plane for 2 or three hours. Now imagine being on a plane where 20 people are all trying to out talk each other.

The dual generator setup OLG linked to is the way to go. Only run one when the load is light or bring them up in parallel for heavy loads. The Honda's are nice a quiet as well.

+10 Except for the manufacturers marks you probably cannot tell the difference between them.

You have to have the one that fits the cartridge. The shell holder ensure the cartridge is properly centered to the die.

I enjoyed the Ragtime as much as watching the artist work.

Unfortunately not. The SDB does not have an adjustable depriming pin.

Well at least I am not the only one. In the same lot of brass I also found some Lake City brass where the primers were staked in. Oddly enough those deprimed without the primer sticking to the pin.

Having an issue with primers sticking to the decapping pin and getting pulled back into the primer pocket. Messes up the works when you try to seat 2 primers into the same hole Reloading some once fired fired brass from a range. So far all the head stamps have been either Hornady or PPU. Anyone else ever had this happen?

I'll take them. PM to follow

Something to consider. Almost all powders are flammable when suspended in air at the right ratio. Grain dust, flour, sugar, and yes even chalk will create a HUGE fireball under the right conditions. Don't know what colored powder was used but the below link shows what happens when it goes wrong. http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/28/asia/taiwan-water-park-explosion/

Remember when that happened. Nice to actually see the backstory. Thanks

Officers at his level have been so far removed from the enlisted troops that I doubt he knows a Brown shoe from a Black shoe or a Bubble Head from a Sea Bee. I do know that the MCPON of the Navy has gotten way more correspondence on the restructuring from retired senior enlisted than he ever thought possible. I'll stop know before I get banned.

I'd talk to Boomstick or other gunsmith/machinist before I sent it back to Remington. Unless you live outside the US why would a bolt be a restricted item?

Asked a friend that is an oil field welder and this is what he recommended. Use properly stored low hydrogen rods or wire. E7018 for stick and flux cored gas shielded wire for MIG welders. Pre heating can help prevent cracking but don't get the metal too hot. No more than 200 degrees for thickness less than 1/2 inch. Most important is to be mindful of the total heat input during the welding process. You do not want to get the metal too hot. Several shorter welds are preferable to one long continuous weld. ( Probably not an issue as most SASS targets only have a hanger welded on.) 2 passes at a lower amperage with a cool down in between is better than one high amperage pass. AR-400 and AR500 are heat treated metals. Getting them too hot will change their chemistry. AR400 and AR500 steel should be allowed to cool down slowly. Throwing water on the steel to expedite the cooling process can make the metal brittle and will most likely lead to cracking.

I carry more than one in my heart every day.

Go to a few matches and try out various pistols to see what feels right. You will see all barrel lengths from 3 to 8 inches. Try them all you might be pleasantly surprised at what length works for you. Also try out rifles and shotguns. Different models fit each person differently. Try to contact the Match Director before the match. He/She can put the word out about a new shooter so that people can bring out extra firearms and ammo for you to try. SASS shooters area very friendly bunch. Frontier Cartridge, Frontier Cartridge Duellist and Frontier Cartridge Gunfighter are very addictive. Welcome to the fun.
