I don't know. Would you find it offensive to buy such crappy barrels that you refuse to tell your customers who manufactured them, then leave them in an unkept warehouse in such a manner that the bores are pitted to hell, then install them in retail firearms with the attitude that nobody will bore scope them?

I'm not saying this happened, but if it did, it would surely upset me, especially if that was only the tip of the iceberg...

It was a choppers and cars event. Had several friends there. Everyone survived, but the video of the boy on the stairs was hard, poor kid.

Kid was very lucky, the engine exhaust was fortunately not blowing on him cause it kept running after the crash, you can briefly see the main rotor shaft is still spinning away. VERY lucky there was no fire, that would have been a lousy way to go.

Pilot pulled up hard on the collective, putting a hell of a load on the engines, you can see condensation forming on the trailing edge of the main rotor blades, along with some smoke from the engines from the high loads, not thick like rolling coal, but it's there, he was climbing hard.

I'm not a pilot, no formal training, I have watched several youtube videos, but I would have thought that the procedure for a tail rotor failure when you're that close to the ground would be to preferably get on the ground as controlled as you can, rather than gain altitude. Hopefully someone that's an actual helo pilot can come in here and tell me i'm a dumb dumb and command me to sit in the corner and think about my stupid thoughts.

Wrap thing up or start the day out? Either way sounds great

On a form 3 in South Louisiana.

I’ll take this per our Pms.

Anybody tried doing it from the Hide TV side? I have no need to change mine just trying to give a suggestion.

Got mine out in College....no big deal. But my dentist told me about his patient the week before...

Crunchy type, no Novocain, painkillers, all organic, etc....even back in the day. Didn't want any shots or pain killers to get 4 wisdom teeth out. Dentist said, "Ok, but once I start, I have to finish, and if you are squirming around, you have to let me give you some Novocain. Dude said "OK."

Dentist said the procedure went amazingly well. Dude gripped the chair pretty hard, but stayed amazingly still. The extraction, suture, no issues--have a nice day.

However, he came back about an hour later, all four incisions bleeding significantly. Dentist was puzzled, it all looked fine when he left. Turns out the guy rode his bike home. In Ithaca, NY. About two miles. Almost all very much uphill....like San Francisco uphill. Some people....

Yes the pre Defender series vortex were not reliable enough. The Defender series is whole new animal. Fantastic quality

I bought a new Vortex Defender enclosed emitter last week. Flickering dot, on again off again, dead, in about 40 rounds. Returned it to store for a full refund. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

Imagine if we took 1/2 of the 1 trillion dollars we spend on the DOD and put it towards road, bridges, underground infrastructure. We would live in a pretty nice country!

Don't forget shoring up Scial Security so my lazy ass doesn't land in the snow.

Its Lucky Ducky. Anything goes.

The 108 ELDM have done really well for me, I even like them better for hunting. I’ve been impressed, better on whitetail than the 103 ELDX in my opinion.

The 106 ATIP are great too, but expensive.

I use both, if the dot fails I have co-witness irons

The M-die doesnt have any options for size IIRC... i.e. you order a .223, 308, etc... and you get what you get...

With the 21st century you can measure what you need for your neck tension and order that mandrel.

I have an m-die for 300blk loading since I load a lot of cast projectiles that need a case mouth flare.

ETA: I have no clue what size I am using. Its whatever I needed for neck tension after measuring fired brass from my gun. I only have one 6.5 and one .223 precision gun, so im not loading for multiple different types.

Free Bump.

That’s impressive performance from just 40gr of powder!

Biggest factors will be the random guys in jeeps and the phone company guys driving around on roads. Sometimes they drive right by your steel and don't even notice.

I picked this Seekins Hit Pro 3 .308 up. I want the longer barrel when available but I'll hold onto this one still.

How are you liking the seekins? I've been wanting one for a while. What barrel length did you get?

I also debate going complete custom route with an origin and custom barrel in a chassis of my flavor.
