Neck Lubing Process with Dry Neck Lube?

Also…. You need to lube the necks prior to using a mandrel. If you don’t the brass will gall onto the mandrel over time and build up. The expanding force goes up and seating force is inconsistent. I tried this and then had to eventually let my mandrel soak in a de-coppering agent for a few days because it had become rough on the outside. Once I did this, the decoppering agent was purple and the mandrel was back to being super slick.

House Budget Proposal to remove Tax on Suppressors but not remove it from the NFA

If it's a $0 tax but still in the NFA then ATF Form to make/transfer/register, a "background check" and 4473 with a NICS to pick it up. Same as before just no $200.

Do they still give stamps? You get a copy of your approved form back that is defense against prosecution in gray zone states. So no different than before but no extra $200 tax.

If it's the $1 fuck you tax then same as before and same as above only $1 instead of $200 or $0.

If it's back what has supposedly been added as an amendment again then it's out of the NFA completely so no tax and no ATF form, no background check other than NICS for the 4473 when you pick it up. But still iffy in gray zone states because no registration paper in your hand as defense against prosecution.

Who gets stamps anymore?
Hmmmm…so in the past, I got my forms back and an actual stamp affixed to the forms. I made copies and took all over with me. Admittedly, I haven’t bought or created an NFA item in a few years but I always got a stamp. It’s like further proof that you paid your tax. I’m not gonna go dig mine out and take pics as I’m sure you can google it. But yea, I’ve always got a physical stamp with my form. Sadly, I liked the stamps. They were unique. Ha. But frankly, I don’t think they should be in the nfa period and do not consider the no tax a win. I want them to be able to bought just like a gun. The fact I can buy a gun and walk out in a few minutes without even having a background check (assuming you have a CCW) now but have to go through rigorous BS to buy esssntially a fancy pipe is completely insane. The one that’s the more dangerous of the two is the easier of the two to obtain. Make it make sense.

Precision Rifle Gear Large Game Changer Bag for Hunting, which fill?

I have 2 OG's, a Schmedium, and a Pint Size, and more Wiebad Fortune Cookies in 4 different sizes. The OG's are bigger than I want for anything, and I personally don't really get along as well with the Schmedium as I do with the Pint Size or the MFC's (similar size to the Pint Size, smaller than Schmedium), but a lot of guys use Schmediums as their 90% solution bag for PRS matches. I shot a year with a Schmedium, 2 years with a Pint Size, and I think now 4 years with Mini Fortune Cookies as my 90% solution for PRS bags. I carry a Schmedium for big, flat obstacles (5 or 10% of match stages) and I do like carrying 2 bags for certain stages (5 or 10% of match stages).

For backcountry hunting, recognizing I will more likely be shooting from a tripod than a positional bag, I wouldn't want to commit to carrying the bulk, even at low weight, of an OG size. Schmedium would be the largest size I'd pack - and I DO pack a Mini Fortune Cookie.
Thanks for the detailed feedback. I will take another look at the FCs. Always good to support someone local too.

Actblue officials must face congress. How about a guillotine instead? Otherwise I agree ASGH

NFA ideas (Hear me out)

Once the tax is gone there is no reason to keep a registry to verify who paid a tax. The fingerprints and background checks are procedural rules that do not require the full blown legislative approval as the OP pointed out. If the republicants are willing, they can turn suppressors and short barreled thingies into regular firearms without much fuss and muss.
