Since I share a birth year with it, I can confirm that it is obstinate.

I was a Class two reserve officer in a small Idaho county. That allowed me to work alongside anyone and substitute a shift. Again 49% of any occupation, whether rocket surgeons or brain scientists are in the lower half of the chosen profession.

Using the word "Cop" implies a broad stroke. Like any other profession 49% of the profession is below average.

I enjoy shooting magnum revolvers with PAST gloves and proper fitting grips. I also shoot contenders with them. I started milking at age 5 by hand and stopped at age 15. Much of my work had me dealing with 24" iron pipe wrenches. I have a large, meaty hand because of those activities. My...

An old Alastair McLean novel from the 60's after the hero confronts his crooked boss. It is also a near match for the opening line. "I left him there. A small dusty man, in a small dusty room". For me it was not the ending as much as the relationship between the opening line of "I met him there"

A member here that passed about ten years ago ran that drill regularly in the Canadian army. He lived in the NW Territory after the army and was gutting an animal when a black bear came at him. He grabbed his Enfield and shot it. His claim was :"I don't recall how many shots I fired but at one...

In my study of bullet mold catalogs, I don't remember seeing a gc bullet designed for the 40 S&W. It isn't needed. I'm pushing a 180 gr at 1250 fps from my 10 mm and getting no leading. I use a medium alloy and a good lube. If your buying bullets, you probably need to go to powder coated. For...

The key to the mad minute and the Enfield times was to never let go of the bolt with the thumb and forefinger. The middle finger pulls the trigger as soon as you are on target. The 10 rd stripper clips and magazine make it a better battle rifle for ranges up to 250 yards, IMO.

I bought an over and under from Turkey a few years ago. The word from trap shooters is that the will not hold up to 10,000 rounds perhaps not 5,000. For someone who shoots shotguns less than 100 rds a year I'm OK with that.

Great write up of your process.

The LBT fn has a lot of bullet outside the case. It differs from the Saeco and RCBS cast versions. I would try to post a picture of your bullet before doing any loading off the net.

A key for me would have been the time left in the auction. If it gets under 24 hours to go and the bids are nowhere near the buy it now price, I would suspect a shill.

Used to be in Montana if they had a bobbing doll on the back and Mary or St Christoper on the mirror or front, 9 times out of 9 they were from Anaconda.

I like Clints movies. but the guy next to him with the hat and cigar got me interested in the 44 Mag.

I live at 5500 ft in an area with 9" annual precipitation. I get rust if I leave metal outside under a sprinkler. Sorry can't help.

RE Don's number 4. As a gas guy we rarely shut off utilities where the electric wasn't off first to get peoples attention. We were included, trained and asked to do electric turn on and offs after a new contract. A friend knocked on a door to tell someone the electric was going off non pay. He...

When referring to another persons actions, "Buzzard puke" or piece of Buzzard Puke seem to fit. A co-worker was surprised when the first complete sentence from his two year-olds mouth happened at a stop light. It was something like "go ya dumb witch". His wife was less than pleased.

2023 Chevy Traverse has a key inside the fob. It has no serrations cut in it, the lock "supposedly" cuts the key when you turn it. In actuality it is easy to remember to change the batteries in the fob annually.

It took a long time to break my wife of turning the car off if we're changing drivers on a road trip. I saw a semi hauling a full load of cattle stuck after a rebuild. The driver had checked his truck, drove 120 miles where we loaded the cows and he had shut the truck off. It turned out that a...

AA2 fills a lot of my needs for auto pistols, inc. the 380.
