Got a price for a 40x64 metal building I want. Found a local guy who sounds like he knows what he's doing. It's going to have a 15,000 pound car/truck lift installed. Where the lift is going has to be 4 inches thick, steel reinforced and 3,500 psi.
I was quoted some crazy numbers up to $45,000 for a slab.
40x64 building, so I should probably go 41x65 to have a little wiggle room?
The local guy said to have an extra 6 inchs around the edge.
What size and how much rebar?
He said I'll need to rent a skid steer to clear and level the ground, but I was thinking about a mini excavator so I could dig out a little deeper for the lift area and the perimeter.
Do I need to do anything to the ground before pouring? I saw a video that said to wet it down with water before pouring to keep the concrete from drying too fast.
I am in South Texas, the ground is mostly clay and sand and shifts quite a bit.
Anything I am missing?
Just for reference I have 1 bow kill and I have not bench pressed anything in a long time.

I'm in Florida so I'm not worried, but are any of you thinking of leaving your blue state for a more free Red state? How about @Lowlight

His show is cancelled indefinitely.

And then I’ll be expecting J6 and Covid type raids with tanks and machine guns and snipers and dogs from the feds all the way town to town constable .

And if we see any type of action like that at all it’ll go a long way toward rebuilding trust .

Think he is telling the Tallies “Either you give it to us and we pay for it, or we just take it. Your choice. “??

I think it’s a good idea. It would be such a stark contrast from how Biden screwed us over. We’d get at least a sliver of dignity back.

Whether you're in the field or at the range, you never know what distance an opportunity might present itself. This is where the 4-24x52mm comes in. Having the ability to walk around on 4x and knowing you can quickly go all the way up to 24x gives you the flexibility and ability to hit smaller targets with precision and aim at larger targets across valleys and canyons with confidence.

The VX-6HD Gen 2 4-24x52 is built around our Professional-Grade Optical System, which offers unmatched light transmission and clarity. Wherever you hunt, the Guard-ion lens coating is a stand-out feature on all Leupold hunting riflescopes that sheds water, dirt, and smudging while providing superior glare management and HD resolution throughout the magnification range.

With new competition-grade adjustments the ultra-rugged and versatile VX-6HD Gen 2 goes where other scopes can't. The wide zoom range combined with an illuminated reticle and level, integrated throw lever and a fast-focus eyepiece with flip-back lens covers make the VX-6HD Gen 2 ideal for low-light hunting in all conditions. It's 100% waterproof and fogproof, and like all VX-6HD Gen 2 riflescopes, two free Custom Dials featuring SpeedSet™ technology are available.

The ultra-rugged and lightweight hunting scope goes where other scopes can't. Its combination of features, durability, and professional-grade HD optical performance guarantees that it can handle any challenge you throw at it.

Im building a 8t 223 off a howa 1500 rhats currently a 204ruger and I have it in a krg xray. I have a m24 blank on order from pva and im torn on if I should do a 20" or 26" or something in between.

I plan on shooting the 73-80gr bullets with varget for local prs out to 750. Range work out to 600. I have a suppressor thats about 6" and idk if I'll run it at matches or just off bench.

I might coyote hunt with it too and I don't have to walk far so the weight isn't an issue.

My plan is to have my bergara hmr rebarreled into a 22gt or 6gt next year and thrown into a chassis for a more dedicated rig. (308 currently).

Whats the hide think i should go with?

Well, I'd like to start a thread for people to post in-stock powder when they find it. It only works if people keep participating and everyone stays on topic. The last general reloading in-stock thread died, so I figured I'd start one for powder ONLY. Primers are typically out-of-stock within seconds, and projos are becoming easier to find.

I was in bed with a blind girl last night and she said that I had the biggest 'member' she had ever laid her hands on.
I said "You're pulling my leg."

I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice!!
At least I presume she was poor – she only had $1.20 in her purse.

My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker.
Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend, yet.

A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back.
He says what do you expect? You're in a wheel chair.

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature.
She said she would like to come back as a cow.
I said, "You're obviously not listening."

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst.
So, I went back to the thrift shop and got all of her clothes back.

At the Senior Citizens Center they had a contest the other day. I lost by one point:
The question was: Where do women mostly have curly hair?
Apparently the correct answer was Africa.

There's a new Muslim clothing shop opened in our shopping center, but I've been banned from it after asking to look at some of the new bomber jackets.

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools.

Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on Facebook.
I said, "I can't wait for the new 911 to arrive!"
Next thing I know 4,000 Muslims have added me as a friend.

The Red Cross have just knocked at my door and asked if I could help towards the floods in Pakistan.
I said I would love to, but our garden hose only reaches the driveway.

I'm reloading some of these Hornady 105gn BTHP 6mm Creedmoor bullets in brand new Aphpa Brass. All brass was prepped. Using the L.E. Micrometer seating die with a K&M arbor press. Also using the L.E. Wilson expanding mandrel. Neck tension at .001. When seating these bullets I am getting an indent around the tip of the bullet. Called Wilson and the recommended I use the VLD stem. So I ordered one and swapped out the standard stem for the VLD stem. Same thing is happening putting a deep ring around the tip of the bullet when seating. Called Wilson back and they told me to send in the stem with a couple bullets and they are going to mod the stem to the bullet under warranty. The tech I spoke with says he does this quite often with the VLD stem. It's funny because I had also reloaded some with the Barnes Match Burner 105gn BTHP with the standard stem and I'm not having this issue with the Barnes bullets. I thought that it might just be the powder charge of 39.6gn of H4350 being compressed but I'm at the low end of the scale.

Has anyone ever had any issues like this and what was the result?
