Sour Dough Balistics

Snuby642
Seems like my bread flour based starter is getting weak.

IMG_20250802_135515711.jpg


This sun-dried tomato 🍅 and olive 🫒 boule got some spring and generally rose well before baking.

The thing is the crumb is tight, lots of small bubbles in the starter and loaf.

I decided to put some rye and whole wheat 🌾 flour in it and see if I can strengthen it. I somehow shanked my measurements .
Instead of 20% total combined I put 20% each. 😆

So after that rose I refed it normal K A bread flour 1x1x1 and it's looking good at 2:45 .

Could use some larger bubbles.

I had a buddy in NC who had the same truck... But in blue. He got rearended something like 5 times in it. And every time, got an insurance settlement that was 5x more than it cost us to fix the back of his truck with cheap-assed parts.

I told him to put a switch on the brake lights so he could turn them off and get rearended more. Because after the 2nd rearend, his truck was paid for. After the 5th, it was the downpayment on his second house, which he rented out! Paul, if you are out there.. you are probably still driving that truck and your Supra!

Those truck are un-killable!

Cheers,

The guy who bought mine was from El Salvadore, which is where it probably ended up, and still running.

Have you considered the NF ATACR 4-16X42? You're not giving up much if anything in mag, clarity is awesome even up on the high end, locking elevation, capped windage, and paired with the MIL-XT it's pretty tits. Used they can be found in the sub-$2K range as well. I there's a reason you see them used so much on gas guns, they flat out work.

Firearms Remington 700 LVSF 22-250

R
I’m looking to sell my LVSF in 22-250, I hate to let it go but I’m out of space and have several other similar rifles that make it very redundant and there’s hardly a groundhog problem in Florida.

It’s in great shape aside from some minor scratches and scrapes with just over 100 rounds through it. It has a Seekins 0MOA rail that’s bedded, and a Japanese Cabelas Alaskan Guide 6.5-20x44 target dot scope in Leupold MK4 rings. It shoots 1/4moa with factory Hornady 50gr Vmax ammo.

The factory recoil pad melted as they always do and limbsaver sent me a new one which will be included. I stuck on a 1/2” slip on and that’s what I’ve been running to shorten the LOP some.

It currently has a Triggertech Special installed but will come with the original trigger unless you want it for an additional $100, in which case it will still come with the original trigger in the package too. I won’t sell the trigger separately.

I’ll sell it for $1300 shipped to your FFL in the lower 48 or $1400 with the Triggertech. Price is FIRM and I will not split it up. The rifles alone typically sell for this or more on gunbroker plus tax and shipping so you’re essentially getting $600 worth of optic and mounts for free.

NO TRADES.

Your FFL must accept from an individual. Payment via Zelle or USPS MO. Can do a FTF with a FL resident in the Tampa area and knock off $50 to reflect the cost of shipping. No sales to CA or any other state that’s a PITA to ship in.

First new vehicle I bought was an 87 Toyota PU. Base model, 22R engine, 4 speed, got 32 mpg. Drove it 375K miles, including a trip to Costa Rica. Started everytime I turned the key. Solid white, I named her Blanca. I only sold it because I lived in south Texas and wanted AC. Wish I still had it, a true classic.

Technically, the Jews invented Blue Jeans... Levi and Strauss were both Red Sea Pedestrians who went to get rich in hardware and banking during the gold rush.

The miners didn't get rich... the guys who sold tools and jeans did.

Of course, the Negroes did pick the cotton! So there is that!

having to beat the crap out of the cases post-tumbling has noticeably shrunk my average SDs

If you're having to 'beat the crap' out of your cases post tumbling with rice, you're doing something wrong - like the wrong grain size of rice. Smaller, shorter grains work better and come out pretty much just like corn/walnut, with a regular rotary media separator. The 'milled' stuff that Primal Rights sells works even better in that regard, but holy f$ck it's pricey. I tried one bag just to see how it worked; afterwards I went down to the local Ace hardware and got a hand-cranked grain mill. Plan is to try milling my own next time from cheap, locally available rice (ie Costco/Walmart/grocery store). Guess we'll see if that works as expected.

Otherwise, yeah, I do agree that corn cob is pretty goof-proof. Just dustier than I care for. But it does get the cases oh-so shiny ;)

That was interesting. A trivia note.

Levi Strauss initially used sailcloth to make some of the earliest versions of their iconic work pants. Specifically, they used a sturdy brown canvas, often referred to as duck cloth, that was originally intended for making tents and wagon covers, according to Eric Musgrave. This canvas was then transformed into waist-high overalls or "pantaloons" for miners during the Gold Rush era. Later, Levi Strauss switched to denim, which is the fabric most commonly associated with their jeans today.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • Early use of sailcloth:
    Levi Strauss & Co. initially used brown canvas, a type of sailcloth, to make the first work pants for miners.

  • The switch to denim:
    Around 1860, Levi Strauss began using denim, a twilled cotton cloth, for their pants.

  • "Duck" cloth:
    The early canvas used was also sometimes referred to as "duck" cloth, a heavy cotton canvas.

  • From canvas to denim:
    The use of sailcloth was a temporary solution until denim became more readily available and a better fit for the evolving needs of the miners.

Just FYI MK11 RAS rail offerings from Centurion coming. Which might have me pivot my m110 build to a mk11 mod 1 just FDE it. I've got the MGL110, FH, Block, and suppressor pins.

I’m doing a mk11 mod 0 as soon as I can get my hands on one of these. This was always one of the biggest hurdles if you didn’t want to spend 1500-2000 on a rail. Great time to be alive!
