    6.5x284

    RL-22 works pretty well with 140 gr bullets, but H4350 has been my go to powder despite being just a little fast.

    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    Might as well paint "cow" on cattle. Years back a neighbor had a moron trespass on his posted pasture and shoot his prize Charolais bull.

    260 Remington brass ( who makes the best?)

    The greater the pressure, the less linear powder burn becomes. That's the problem with venturing into uncharted territories. Most appropriate powders for a given cartridge USUALLY won't go into non linear burn rate with what can be stuffed into a cartridge, you'll "just" be over pressure. But as...

    Price Gouging

    Seen this more than a few times over the last 50 years I've been shooting. Shortages come and shortages go. Buy during the fat times, save for the lean times.

    That would be the Angel Oak over on Johns Island.

    I have finally achieved greatness

    'Bout 28 years ago I compared the 550 to the 650 and decided to go with the 650. It's set up for small primer since I only load .38 Super, .40 S&W and .223 (plinking loads, my match .223 is still loaded one a a time on a fifty year old 'chucker). Keep a complete tool head for each. Added a case...

    Daring rescue in Astan

    Oh yeah, that midget hooker in Barcelona back in about '76. Get a blowjob while standing at the bar drinking a beer.

    Bergara Issue that Frank Mentioned

    Quite a few years back I figured out how to keep things attached solidly. I started using high shear strength golf club epoxy to attach the mounts (in addition to the screws). The mounts will not shift. The mounts can be removed with a heat gun (a real heat gun, not a hair dryer) which will...

    NRA - bankruptcy update

    My grandfather, father and I are life members. Unfortunately the NRA today is a far cry from fifty or a hundred years ago. It's been subverted into an ATM for executive suits.

    .223 brass vs 5.56 brass

    Chronographing tells the difference between brass. Years ago .223 Lapua brass was quite a bit heavier than W-W and required a slight reduction in charge to achieve the same velocity in the same rifle. Lapua made their brass little lighter about the time they started packing it in blue boxes...

    Hoplite Arms

    If you invent something idiot proof, someone will invent a better idiot. Pinniped detection. Put the subject in a locked room with no windows or other means of egress with a cement block. If the subject has not lost, broken or had sex with the cement block, they are not a pinniped.

    Yeah, the real trick is to acquire and keep on hand sufficient supplies for a year before they are needed. I learned that from the various component shortages experienced over 50 years of reloading and some competitive shooting. Every election cycle leads to panic buying of one sort or another...

    If you want to see the most amazing collection of bikes in the US (and possibly the world), try the Barber Motorsports Museum up by Birmingham, Alabama. Bring a camera.

    6.5 upper for DPMS

    I'm mulling over getting an upper in 6.5 Creedmore for a DPMS (yes, AR-10 style, not trying to hang it on a 15). Recommendations for an upper that works well?

    Ok boys, she's available. I wonder if her name's Karen.

    I'm kind of old testament about women. Proverbs 31:10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Proverbs 31.11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. Proverbs 31.12 She will do him good and not evil all the...
