Bullet seating tests in vain with Semi-automatic AR-10

You have discovered that a Semi Automatic rifle is a different animal than a bolt action rifle. When the round hits the shoulder of the chamber the case stops but the inertia of the bullet keeps it moving. You really can't stop it from happening. Even cannelured bullets will move a few thousandths of an inch. You simply have to account for it.

Idea for presentos on a limited budget

Once you've shot out a barrel there really isn't much use for it.

Here's an idea from the USAMU Custom Firearms Shop. These make nice handouts - gifts - keepsakes for the cost of your gunsmith - machinists' time.

The machinist cuts the barrel into coin-thick pieces, polishes them, then laser engraves front and back. Somebody does you a favor? Does a great job? Has a nice achievement worthy of on-the-spot recognition? Hand him one of these tokens as an "Attaboy" or "Thank you."

Finding a wife

You know, you shouldn’t be watching pearly things. While it may seem she has a point every now and then, there is poison in the water she is serving.

This is gross.

All good points. However, I usually listen to her videos. I don't watch them but just listen while I do other things.

I have heard her admit to some of her past mistakes and also admit to being fat. She has said that she's "fat," not overweight.

When talking about western women, she uses the term "we." In other words, she does include herself in that group. For example she will say something like, "When it comes to western women, we tend to be crazy." Or "when it comes to picking a boyfriend or husband, we go after someone that's out of our league."

The lady on that video was right about the dresses the "fashion expert" was choosing for her. That was a real disaster. Like I said, I don't watch her videos and so haven't really paid much attention to her appearance and don't really care. I don't want to date her but like listening to her program.

When I was in high school, I worked as a mechanic on the pin-setting machines in a bowling alley.

There was an old lady that ran the cash register and the console to turn on the machines. The counter that she worked at had a clear view of all the lanes.

She didn't bowl herself but worked there ever since the place opened after WWII. I saw a lot of the bowlers with really high averages coming to her for advice. She had watched so many bowlers when working there that she could pick out the right and wrong things they were doing.

Even though she didn't bowl, the bowlers took her advice because she could see what they were doing wrong compared to what really worked for getting high scores.

A person doesn't have to print money to spot a counterfeit bill. Pearl has her faults and you might be right about poison in her podcasts but there is truth to a lot of what she says.
