So whats you plan, for when the grid an/or net drops?

This is the only hole in my preps , I've looked into it a little and you can buy stuff online ,my concern is are these online drugs legit or scams. 20 yrs ago you could cross the border into Mexico and get anything you wanted, but now it might cost your life, plus once you get back in the US the aholes at the check points might not let you keep your stash.
i don't know if the laws have changed but vet supply is the place to go if you have a brick and mortar close. on line fake? worrisome question. investigating a good idea. but where? on line? hard to know truth of any on line review of anything.

Active shooter killed in attempt to ambush Border Patrol agents in Texas

An active shooter armed with tactical gear and a rifle opened fire upon Border Patrol agents as they arrived at a Border Patrol annex facility in McAllen, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley on Monday.

Agents and local police returned fire and killed the gunman. No federal agents were hit, but one McAllen police officer was struck. Law enforcement sources say the officer is in stable condition.

"This morning an individual opened fired at the entrance of the United States Border Patrol sector annex in McAllen, Texas. Both Border Patrol agents and local police helped neutralize the shooter," the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement to Fox News. "This is an ongoing investigation led by the FBI. More information will be shared as it becomes available."

Law enforcement believes the attack was a purposeful ambush targeting Border Patrol officials. Local police say they will hold a news conference on the attack later Monday.

I'm betting the suspect watched Heat a few too many times. Didn't realize that cops almost always end up hitting the guy they're shooting at, and sometimes they hit him a lot.

I’m not going to say I told you so, but…Elon musk

doesn't matter who we trust. just a crap shoot by those of us with no control or even influence on macro outcomes. those in power are gonna do what they do until they are stopped by whatever. just opinions. i think Musk is OK somewhat. i could be wrong and he could be the next Mao. having faith in something is fine. if its not a good outcome,will be fine if you are thoughtful and don't get fanatically committed and forget you might be wrong. we all have been wrong a bunch.

Thanks for taking one from the team :sneaky:

It's parallel to the "New snowblower paradox". New snow removal = no snow this year.
My power only works on obsolete optics.

I can be thanked for giving us the S&B US...shortly after I bought the full-size 3-20.
And the TT 7-35 was announced about 2 months after I got my 5-25.

Long shot: Is there any tool out there to attach to a drill

It was not. I didn't know they had one that did multiple sizes of case heads. It's been a long time since I even thought about trimming brass with one of those tourcherous bastards. 🤣🤣🤣
I tend to use mine for turning necks. I don't buy a lot of Lee products, but this tool is one I won't be without.

No, I wouldn't trim necks with the Lee tool either.

Any Thoughts On Why I Have To Bump Shoulder of New Alpha 6 ARC Brass For Gas Gun .004”?

I suspect it isn't the shoulder causing your issue, it's the base.

I've played with the 6.5 Grendel for a long time and the 6ARC for a couple years. I had a lot of once and twice fired 6.5 Grendel AA brass (Lapua) and it gave me headaches trying to fit that brass in a new Proof barrel. It wasn't a shoulder bump issue, it was a fat bottom. SGT of ARMS bulge buster die entered the chat and no more fat bottoms.

I don't know for sure if that is your issue, but you should not be having to bump those shoulders that far.

Flooding in TX Hill Country/Kerrville

I posted some images earlier and wil post some more from our drive around yesterday. I’m in the local Ham club here, and monitoring the effort. Pretty sudden, and caught many inside their campers along the river’s edge. 14 Rv’s washed away in one park alone. The first two Images are after and before, same spot.The entire park was all assembled for a huge concert and fireworks show. The Entire park venue was scrubbed by the waters, not a single fixture remaining, and the stage was pushed and mangled downstream into the trees. Some cypresses were de-barked as much as 15 ft above current level of water at the time we took the photos, so it had gone down already by 0930.
Our radio Shack is pretty close to the river, so we didn’t staff it during the high water period, as egress from the area, is iffy. Google maps, on satellite view gives you an idea of where things are. Flat Rock. Park was totally under water, all of the lower part of. Shriner Park was covered, The hwy 16 bridge which is about 50 ft, high, had water up to 4 ft from the bridge bottom. Fernando Lemos bridge was under water, and the veteran Loop bridge was about 4 ft from the water. The concert stage was. Crumpled like a beer can, and pushed into the trees downstream.
And the kids? Unknown. Campers? Unknown. Entire families suddenly gone. People in cars who tried to escape, trapped and screaming as they floated downstream. The kid in the tree, went over 15 miles, and tumbled over 5 dams.The hydraulics at the dams were like a rock tumbler, churning logs and tires, and debris over and over.
I just got an E solicitation to donate. There are so many scams out there one wonders. You're in the local hood, where would you suggest funds be sent? You might make that a seperate thread.

Not sure if the Lee 3 jaw chuck was the tool mentioned above, but it will do what you want.

I've had and used one for at least 20 years and it works as good as new.

I'm sure he is concerned about us Texans

No, it's something for dipshits to cry about. Nothing else. If it looks bad to someone it's because theyre a retard. A senator isn't searching for survivors, leading any rescue efforts, or in charge of any sort of response or funding allocation. All a senator is an emergency is a warm body looking for a photo op.
I personally don’t give a fuck.

Fellas....

I can say with absolute certainty that word of the next generation of awesomeness is just around the corner.

How do I know...?
I'm about to pull the trigger on a 4-16ATACR. And given my "if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck" life pattern, the announcement will drop shortly after I get it mounted and zeroed. :ROFLMAO:

Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

Mine has seemed a bit sensitive about location to pickup shots lately.

Last weekend it missed the first few shots off bench with a suppressed bolt 223. Moved it 6” forward to be within about 6” of suppressor muzzle end and it caught them all.

Weekend prior there was a prone stage at a prs match with a mat for shooting position. Placed off to the side of the mat so it was maybe a couple feet from the barrel and it missed half the shots. Might have been some grass in the way on that one but I still expected it to do better.

Zeiss is going to discontinue all sporting optics in the next couple of years, which will be a real shame.
And where did you hear this? I just don't see Zeiss leaving the sport optic market.
I have doubts that TT pays for better glass than ZCO but could be wrong.
You could be...
