    AZTEC Upgrade to AMP Annealer

    I am not running them through the mud and if you read my email correctly you would have noticed that I mentioned that Matt with AMP is being very responsive in trying to resolve the issue. I am merely stating that there is an issue upgrading the unit. It could be a number of things possibly...

    AZTEC Upgrade to AMP Annealer

    The upgrade installs but does not seem to calibrate the inductor so it does not analyze properly.

    AZTEC Upgrade to AMP Annealer

    Well decided to upgrade my older AMP annealer with AZTEC. Paid the upgrade fee and go the code and followed the upgrade instructions. Big mistake and now it doesn't work in either mode. Matt with AMP has been very responsive but the problem is yet to be resolved. I love this annealer and...

    Stop Making Sense....

    I listened to WNEW in the late 60's up and until about 1973 when I moved out west. No internet radio back then.

    There will be other tests and he shouldn't get discouraged. Hobo should chime in and give him some sound professional advice.

    Stop Making Sense....

    Will need to watch Stop Making Sense and always admired the creativity of David Byrne. Growing up in the late 60's early 70's I was exposed to what today would be called underground music. Had a table top FM radio in my room and would tune in to WNEW FM and listen to Alison Steele "The...

    Cure For Bullying - Share Your Stories

    Pretty young and about 5 and this older kid down the street kept bullying me. Finally got tired of it and busted a broom handle over his head opening up a cut which resulted in a trip to the emergency room for stitches. Got me in quite a bit of trouble but was never bothered by him again and...

    Why you wear a seat belt while driving a fork lift. There is a paper packaging company next door and as I was pulling out of the parking lot I heard a loud noise and looked over and saw the trailer bed collapsing and large paper rolls crashing out. Ran over to check on the fork lift driver...

    The push for DEI by the military is leaving are armed forces woefully unprepared for any conflict. These people will be cannon fodder if we ever get into a real conflict.

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    This got me thinking about a conversation I had with a friend yesterday during a bike ride. Academy grad and retired as a two star several years ago. He recently was an observer of an exercise and was surprised at the degradation of our capability over a few short years. At the time he...

    Best ballistic calculator currently?

    Have several ballistics calculators including Kestrels. Still use the Kestrels with AB and provides good solutions but still my most trusted solver is FFS. IIRC FFS and Coldbore use the same ballistic engine. Several years ago we ran a head to head test between Coldbore and FFS at Gunsite...

    Belt Damage??

    Reloading belted cases is no different than non-belted cases in regards to setting headspace in the die. In both of my 300WM new cases will expand any where from .013 to .017 when fire formed. Set up the sizing die to set the shoulder back anywhere from .001 to .002. Sizing down to the belt...

    6mm Dasher vs 6creed

    Started with a 6 creed for a mid-range F Class rifle. Never could get the rifle to shoot where it needed to be and replaced it with a 6 Dasher. The other downside was the amount of throat erosion with a fairly low round count. The 6 Creed is basically an overbore cartridge with the Dasher...

    I have read every book I could find on the battle of Peleliu and still difficult to fathom the savagery of that battle. At that time, coverage of the battle was overshadowed by the news from Europe and the Philippines. The whole idea of taking the island was MacArthur's to supposedly protect...

    I don't think the debates will happen.

    Not a good idea to weld with strike anywhere stick matches in your breast pocket either. Don't ask me how I know.

    Wonder if there was a hot permit and a fire watch. Pretty much SOP on our jobs if any combustible materials are near by. Have set little fires while welding and you don't notice it when you are under the hood until you sense a different smell or feel heat.

    They should gp after these NGO's under federal racketeering charges for facilitating illegal entry into the US.
