    US Army Snipers face charges.

    Re: US Army Snipers face charges. As far as I'm concerned if we aren't there to win and we arm tying our guys hands behind their backs with these ROEs WE SHOULD GET THE @ELL OUT. Is this Obama's idea of stepping up the war in Afghanistan?

    6 days after surgery ( not pretty)

    Re: 6 days after surgery ( not pretty) The hydrogen peroxide will break down the blood and scab tissue minimizing scarring. You're not trying to saturate things with it. Just put some on some cotton and very gently blot it on the area This will remove the iodine on the skin and break down...

    fused neck

    Re: fused neck I guess I need to clarify some things I said. I did not say that no one should ever allow manipulation of their neck. I do manipulation of necks every day. That FACTS are that manipulation is by far the safest form of medical therapy there is - period. But like all tools it...

    fused neck

    Re: fused neck SingleShot85: Take it easy friend. I too do manipulation all day every day. I am not picking on chiropractors but via the internet for someone who has been recommended surgery for presumed nerve damage I will never recommend manipulation. In person where I can examine the...

    fused neck

    Re: fused neck Do You have pain down your arm? Do you have numbness &/or weakness in your arm? If none of these then surgery is not indicated. I know you dot want to be on pain medication but even if you have surgery there is no guarantee you will not still need to be on pain medication...

    fused neck

    Re: fused neck If you have a disc herniation which is causing nerve function loss DO NOT LET ANYONE MANIPULATE YOUR NECK! It not only will NOT help the problem it could very easily make it worse. Now we are really in my area of expertise as I am an osteopathic physician who is specifically...

    fused neck

    Re: fused neck Neurosurgeon vs Orthopedic spine specialist are the real options and for most cases THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE other than individual skill. If anything there orthopedic spine specialist is the real cabinet maker for severe spine problems. Neurosurgeons mostly do the simple stuff...

    fused neck

    Re: fused neck I have had 3 neck fusions. First, the ONLY indication for surgery is progressing loss of nerve function NOT pain. If you have numbness and weakness that is worsening over time with appropriate treatment surgery is indicated. Appropriate treatment includes epidural...

    who makes a good front rest

    Re: who makes a good front rest Nope not legal. The front and back support have to be separate. 42769vette, are you shooting F/TR or F Open? I assume F/Open since you're looking for a front rest. What chambering? I shoot both. I have a 260 built on a Savage target action I built but have...

    CCI BR2 LARGE RIFLE BENCHREST PRIMERS AT MIDWAY

    Re: CCI BR2 LARGE RIFLE BENCHREST PRIMERS AT MIDWAY Well, I finally found pistol primers at Widener's. They have Federal and Wolf Larege pistol and PMC small pistol primers. Ordered primers and powder for one hazmat fee like it should be.

    CCI BR2 LARGE RIFLE BENCHREST PRIMERS AT MIDWAY

    Re: CCI BR2 LARGE RIFLE BENCHREST PRIMERS AT MIDWAY Yes, I was ordering powder and primers. I usually order as much of both as I can because of the hazmat fee. Everyone else ships powder and primers together for one hazmat fee. I didn't see anything about two separate shipments but I'm...

    CCI BR2 LARGE RIFLE BENCHREST PRIMERS AT MIDWAY

    Re: CCI BR2 LARGE RIFLE BENCHREST PRIMERS AT MIDWAY I was about to order powder and primers from Midway. On checking out I found a $50 hazardous materials fee!!! What's with that? $20 OK, but $50?!!! Bruno's lists CCI Large and Small rifle BR primers in stock. Their hazardous materials...

    who makes a good front rest

    Re: who makes a good front rest Since you are planning to use it for competition I recommend more than an entry level rest. Therefore I would disregard then cheap stuff like the Caldwells. For F Class I do not believe there is any real benefit in a coaxial rest. In fact it can be a...

    who makes a good front rest

    Re: who makes a good front rest What are your needs? If you are going to compete in benchrest you need a really good front rest. If you are just working up loads a sandbag would be fine. The best on the market as far as I'm concerned are the SEB, Farley, and JJ Industries Ultra Front Rest...

    Meindl Boots

    Re: Meindl Boots I too like Asolo boots. They are well made and fit me well. I also like that I can usually pick them up for about 1/2 price at sierra trading post. I wait until I get an additional 25% off coupon. I just ordered a pair of the Fugitive GTX which sell for $200 on Amazon for...

    Do you really need SMALL BASE DIES?

    Re: Do you really need SMALL BASE DIES? Hummer: My records show that once fired brass from my CLE upper registered -0.001 on the RCBS Precision Mic. This was consistent for 20 pieces of brass. This was also 0.001 smaller than the same brass before it was fired. So the once fired brass was...

    Do you really need SMALL BASE DIES?

    Re: Do you really need SMALL BASE DIES? Hummer: I have wilson gauges, RCBS micro gauges, & stoney point gauges but no Mo's. I also did not shoot any centerfire this past year due to 2 neck fusion surgeries. As a result all my brass has been processed and therefore not useful for measuring...

    Do you really need SMALL BASE DIES?

    Re: Do you really need SMALL BASE DIES? That certainly makes sense and I'm sure saves Redding a lot of trouble. In the end the best case is where the headspace setting and taper of the dies most closely matches the chamber of the rifle they are actually being used for. Custom dies match...

    Meindl Boots

    Re: Meindl Boots And so we see that no matter how well made if the boot doesn't fit it is no good. I usually buy a few pair when I find boots or shoes that really fit well. I also rarely buy any footwear mail order that I have not already owned.
