Ah...good catch!
A little embarrassing .....but glad it got caught by you in advance. I told you I was a little out of shape for this.
I never thought twice about it as its not a high rise. I'll do some quick measuring before wee load it today, and check the options on their website.
Thanx DY, that could have ended badly.

Measuring probably won't work. You won't really know until it's in the car and the hood is on. I usually put the air cleaner on and make a tube out of aluminum foil and place it on the top of the air cleaner. Close the hood really slow and you can hear the foil crinkle. Open to see how much more you can close and compare to what you need to finish closing.
My Monte and my Olds have about a quarter inch with the hood closed using the dropped air cleaner base. Both motors have the air gap intake.

I have 1 black Theos left and 1 Titan left. Need to sell before next batch comes in. Blowout pricing. Pricing going up due to recent events.

I'll stay and fight for now. The back up property in AR will start getting developed tho.

I have a freind that moved down by Russellville in the early 2000s when they really started drying out the plains. I coukd really get used to the hunting and fishing. Last a I knew it was less than 50 dollars for a hunting license. That's to hunt everything. He said the elk they introduced had done well and he was allowed to take 1 per year on his property. They moved now. I don't know if they still own that property. It was warm with lot of lakes and everyone has their own pond. Some of them were bigger than what we call lakes down here. It was really beautiful place. Not like that frozen wasteland Wyoming.

Does anyone know of a website or thread on here that goes over which is which, model year ranges and differences etc between their 383 different models and acronyms? I want to learn about them but it seems NO ONE talks about the most desirable ones, the first gens.

The snapper regulations are stupid as hell. Well, for the average angler. They have to be of a certain size and you can only keep during a very, very short season. The limitations on commercial fishing aren't half as bad and they pretty much get to keep anything.

Caught this one about 16 hours too early to give him a ride to shore.

This was the smallest red we caught that day.

Now, let's talk about how much waste/loss is created by the shrimp boats...

See my post above.
They don't want us to keep any fish.

I guess plans changed, we'll be there.

I have no idea what you look like, but would like to put a face to the name. I'll be on the lookout

Same around here for striped bass. One fish between 28-30 inches. So if you want to cull one you have to go through God knows how many to get the slot fish.

Meanwhile...there is about a 30% mortality on all those overslot fish.
The best option is take 1 any size, when the slot is impossible.
They don't set the slots arbitrarily. They get paid good money to do exhaustive surveys, to determine the "slot"
"They" do not want you eating fish.
Unless it is imported.

I have a friend with two reproductions, to scale, in naval and infantry models with "coffee can" and "spiral" magazine systems - in 22LR. Unbelievable how fast you can go through a brick of ammo.

But its affordable.

Cat bit off more than he could chew.

The fish are super greasy with dark meat.

Stop drilling. You had me at "fish".

I have heard all the stories. I don't care. All the tunas and mackerals are delicious. I have eaten most of them.
If you don't like tuna, don't eat it.

Btw....it has nothing to do with what they eat.
The problem with big tuna, is it is just like small tuna. Handled poorly and incorrectly it is cat food....all of it.
Size probably does play a significant role. It is not easy to properly ice a very large tuna.
Tuna, for all intents and purposes are warm blooded....its true.
Tuna spoils quickly.

208 AMAX was the go-to bullet for 300 RUM for many years.

(And 300 RUM has WAY more case capacity than 300 NM)

Most all of them are built as hunting rifles w 1:10 twist, which is why the Hornady manual doesn’t go above 225 ELD-M

If I were you, I’d get some 208 grains, push up the velocity, and roll with it

While not the M40A1-A6, here are the US bolt Action Snipers for the previous Century that lead to them.

That's spectacular! For those that might not know, everything about the M40 is an original US military sniper rifle. Those are some of the rarest vintage sniper rifles in the world, it an outrageously impressive collection! If you and @Topgun117 combine your rifles, you'd have the ultimate USMC sniper rifle collection!

Bluefins Off the Beach | Sport Fishing Mag

Recent bluefin action in North Carolina have had even diehard land-based anglers and kayakers getting in on the action with a handful of incredible catches.

www.sportfishingmag.com

They said it is illegal to fish forcthem from shore.
That is a fucking lie. Again, you can't just make law to cover a rathole you never thought you'd need.
Again, same thing with sailfish from shore. You need an HMS.......but it is for a vessel.

How bout you alphabet assholes take your medicine, or better yet, put it to the people.
You can't just mal3 rules for state and federal waters, then stand on the beach and say because this fish did something we never saw...we control this now too.

I have a decent amount of SK rifle match left from my Bergara that I shot before, so hopefully I have the same luck with it.

I don’t know of anyone that uses a Lilja blank. That said, two friends of mine that had a Lilja CZ457 prefit eventually sold theirs for other custom offerings which shot much better. Could be a number of factors but you just don’t see them much at least on the RimX side of the house.

Yeah, I bought a Lilja prefit for a good deal, so I'm going to give it a go and see how it does!

I already read your post. You didnt post the info I asked... You measured your mandrel, and your bullet and ID but said you used a caliper which is not an accurate way to measure ID necks.. Doesnt give an accurate reading. Thats why I asked if you measure the OD of your neck after all your sizing is done and did you measure OD of your neck after seating a bullet.. This will be the most accurate way for you to measure if you dont have either pin gauges and/or the proper mic

Also, you havent mentioned... How are you sizing down the necks before you use your mandrel?? For example on why Im asking these very specific questions, I run different size bushings for Lapua brass vs Alpha brass to squeeze the necks down before running my 21st Century mandrel in because using the same size bushing on Lapua and Alpha gives completely different final neck tension.... They are not the same.. Neck thickness and springback are different.

By take all the right measurements, you can see exactly what Im talking about and know exactly what the necks are doing and when...

I measured OD of fully sized neck at .270. Loaded round OD is .271. So as I said before there is .001 neck tension.
