    Primer ignition issue: spring tension or firing pin protrusion?

    Some things I'm seeing are off center firing pin strikes and a little cratering on the round that fired. Cratering can be from an overly large firing pin hole, the off center primer strike can be caused by the bolt bring a loose fit in the receiver, the firing pin hole off center in the bolt...

    Warning to Professionals - Stay off Facebook

    A private facebook page? About as private as walking into Sunday services buck ass naked with a fifth and two hookers. Every electronic communication is recorded and then stored at the huge server farm the NSA built in Utah a few years back. Every phone conversation, every e-mail, every post...

    Krieger has an interesting point

    They can, but my pricier scopes haven't thus far. That link doesn't come up, just gives an expired notice.

    Krieger has an interesting point

    Yeah, I initially put a cheap scope on my lightweight mountain rifle in 300 RUM with no break while waiting for the scope I wanted to be delivered. That lasted about three rounds until the crosshairs moved out of sight. I wasn't confused, at 100 I don't consider the effect of barrel mirage all...

    Krieger has an interesting point

    I'll say it depends. Most of my aftermarket barrels seem impervious to heat through a twenty round string. One however doesn't like the first two clean cold bore shots, shifting call it 1/3 moa and then not moving at all. All this noted at 100 yards where mirage has little effect during...

    Choosing a power provider in Texas

    When I was working out in Texas I lived in Bay City and used Amigo, no problems, office right in town and so was a big Center Point center. I just went with what the guys out at the power plant recommended. Been a couple of years so things could have changed.

    More UFO briefings to Congress

    On the other hand, I know a couple of seriously good ole' boys. One evening while sampling some high octane with a rather credulous audience they told the story of how while hunting up the Squaw river they encountered a UFO at short range and after some discussion amongst themselves decided not...

    Rifle Scopes Why I stick with Nightforce and Leupold.....

    Nope, not now and likely never to be. Last big match I made was out in Arizona because I was working a project out there. Couldn't really bring anything with but a couple of folks were gracious enough to loan me everything even though I had not planned to shoot, just hang out. Funny how there...

    Rifle Scopes Why I stick with Nightforce and Leupold.....

    OK. Explain why Leupolds are crap. In what way for instance would my 6.5 X 20 EFR be a bad rimfire target scope? In what way would my 8.5 X 25 LRT be a bad any/any prone or F/TR rifle scope? In what way would my plain old 6X be a bad hunting scope? While you are at it, explain what "real...

    More UFO briefings to Congress

    I know a couple of long haul airline pilots. Over a cigar and scotch they'll tell you they've seen some weird shit that they won't report.

    Help me find an image

    Shakespeare. Henry VI, part 2, act IV, scene 2. "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." Seems even in Wills time they knew. Sharks won't eat lawyers, professional courtesy. What do you throw a drowning lawyer? His partners. Did you hear about the terrorists that took a whole...

    Rifle Scopes Why I stick with Nightforce and Leupold.....

    So, Shiraz Balolia is calling it quits, thus currently no US importer/distributor for March scopes in the US, meaning for the time being at least, orphaned in the US. This may or may not change. Keep in mind there never would have been March scopes without Shiraz in the first place. He and a few...

    OK.....GOING TO STEP ON TOES..........

    If I was to have just one centerfire rifle, and it had to be a short action, I suppose I'd go with a Creedmore mainly because I think it's about the best short action 6.5 cartridge design. Fortunately I don't have any such restrictions. My ancient Winchester 70 in 30-06 has been my primary...

    Rifle Scopes Why I stick with Nightforce and Leupold.....

    Not being especially rich any new scope has to be carefully considered in terms of performance and price, does it perform its intended function and is it in a price range I want. Well, there is another consideration, will the company be around ten or twenty years from now (which is about as far...

    139 gr Lapua Scenars beyond 600 yds

    I've been shooting the Scenars for 1,000 yard matches for many years and they have proven to be very consistent from batch to batch and very accurate. I tend to stick with what has been proven rather than chasing the next BIG THING..

    Consider the Russell's Viper the venom of which among other things causes the blood to coagulate in the body, basically turning ones blood into jello.

    The Space Aliens will be coming round the corner when they come..

    And you don't need aliens to do anal probing, allow me to introduce you to my gastro-enterologist. Just avoid the pineapple flavored Go-Litely. If you put a ripe pineapple in your kitchen trash and left it in the hot sun for a week, you could call that pineapple flavored too.
