I'll make sure I never, ever, post about a sale that potentially could help a member. You gentlemen have convinced me that it's worth the time or effort.

Just ask Holliday (He who hates catalogs), or Bacarrat (Economics Major) or 25ring (Shipping Savant) where the best deals are, I'm sure they'll know and tell you......

Let's assume for a moment that the neck tension and powder charges are the same as before.
Then we go down the fishbone diagram to the other things that affect ignition.
Primers from same batch? Seated to same depth?
All headspace the same?
Those things affect primer ignition from the ammo side, then there is the rifle side.....

When was the last time you checked the firing pin, spring, bolt, trigger, etc?

(I scanned the thread really quick and didn't catch this, but was the average velocity between the sessions the same?)

All things the same. Primers, headspace. neck tension, OAL. As well as base to ojive. What does the firing pin, spring, bolt and trigger have to do with this? No. Velocities were different.

I've used Amico Power devices for a long time and had maximum reliability from them.

If you are only planning on welding without gas, an Amico MIG-130A will be the ultimate light-moderate use rig. It retails under $200 at most places but is *ONLY* designed for gasless flux core. Input is standard residential 110V. It is also compact, barely larger than a packed up Coleman dual burner camp stove.

My totearound that I use both at work and at home is an Amico MIG-200. It's a BEAST. Runs MIG/flux, TIG, and stick on dual 110v/230v commercial input and compatible with multiple materials. That thing cost $600 but is worth every cent. I've used it on gas some times but these days I am running mostly flux because we got a shit ton of that. Since I frequently carry it around on a pull dolly, the question of "does the dog wag it's tail or does the tail wag the dog?" comes up, and in this case, it is the latter LOL. The 200 series is my go-to all around problem solver.

PM enroute

Pam is exactly what I thought she would be. As granny on the Beverly hillbillies eloquently stated. “ I have seen sweet milk turn sour, but I have never seen sour milk turn back the other way.”

The devil will have died of frost bite long before we see arrest of crooked government agents, any action on Epstein or real change in the rights of gun owners.

The Hobart 140 is a decent home 110v welder and uses some Miller parts internally. I've used one with and without gas shielding to weld 1/8" and 3/16" mild-steel plate for off-roading and target stand projects.

Money is the lifeblood of everyone with political aspirations and compromised morality regardless of political views. That’s why we print so much of it. Don’t believe me? Tell me how so many politicians of all stripes have become rich in Washington and bitch about USAID defunding.

Oh, did I forget to mention ISIS? How much are we giving them a month? I forget. The list is long.

You run an extension cord with the little mig welders and you welds can be to cold. Mig welders draw a lot of amps. Always plug them in with just the machines cord if possible, if not use the heaviest cord you have. I would advise you to get a machine that can be run with gas due to you possibly wanting to use it in the future. Flux core with a gas back up makes some beautiful welds. Make sure you look at the traction wheels that feed the wire, don’t buy one with the plastic wheels. I’ve used a half dozen of the little mig welders and have been back and forth from Miller to Lincoln a few times. Spend the money you won’t regret it. Buy lots of tips and keep your stinger straight don’t ever kink it. Changing liners is avoided if you take care of you stinger! 1/4 mild steel is about all you can get away with and that’s with 3 passes. I have welded 3/8 mild steel but it is not recommended.

I absolutely love mine. I have an earlier gen and now the Endgame. Endgame for the win. There is nothing else like it for prone shooting.

Yesterday I flew from Nashville to Charleston on SouthWest I simply sat in my seat, but didn't realize I was a crew member, I need to call SouthWest and ask them when I can expect to receive compensation for being part of the crew.
