    Opinions on Dillon 550 vs 650

    I have a 550 for handgun rounds. I think I prepped about 1k 9mm rounds and loaded about 100 of them on a single-stage before I bought one. The hand indexing isn't too bad, and it keeps your head in the game, if you are loading w/ fast handgun powders where there is some room for error. The...

    Interesting conversation with an 18D yesterday.

    Unfortunately life is more complex than that. What if one principle requires sacrificing other ones? What if your principals are leading you towards an ultimately negative outcome, the so called Pyrrhic victory? Greg just said it, "Beware a man who seeks confrontation, he will always...

    Would you eat this?

    I put 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum in some of my protein shakes if I want to thicken them up a bit. As far as I know it is safe.

    The Social Laboratory

    This was in the last print edition of FP and they just put it online: The Social Laboratory It is hands down the most interesting article I've read in awhile. The shorty story is that a lot of domestic surveillance technologies are being developed/testbenched in Singapore, a country with a...

    Interesting conversation with an 18D yesterday.

    This is the Stanford prison experiment dynamic and it scares me. This is what led to the Kent State shootings, the rise of the Nazi party, and a ton of other nasty events in human history. You can educate people all you want on the Constitution but it will do no good. All it takes is one...

    Self Guided Bullet Footage from DARPA

    Interesting fact is that the ubiquity of small form factor cameras today is a result of NASA's mission to reduce the size/weight of everything to optimize the size of the payloads they were able to carry to outer space. Guns and butter.

    so who wants to train?

    Anybody know the backstory behind that clip or if there is an article or other material to go along with it? That seems like an awful lot of travel and paperwork to make a youtube video.

    sw florida guys, where is a good vacation spot?

    I've been to Marco Island, Fort Myers, and Siesta Key. The first two were vacations and I ended up in Siesta Key when TDY. Siesta Key is more small town atmosphere with a ton of bars/restaurants down a main drag. The other ones were touristy, and you'd probably want a bike if you decided to...

    Chasing Load w/ New Varget Lot?

    The new lot is a freshly opened bottle. If anything, I thought the old lot may have dried out a bit from factory condition but I absolutely nothing about powder manufacturing. The smell wasn't as strong and I noticed the color may have tinged to a duller bronze versus the factory grey, like...

    Chasing Load w/ New Varget Lot?

    Long story short is I used the last bit of an old lot and went into a new lot of 8-1lbers. Powder is Varget. The old lot I was using was probably of a more recent manufacturer date than the lot I switched too. The old lot was averaging 2744 w/ a SD of 6. The new lot was averaging 2714 w/ a...

    TV shows/movies you never get tired of.

    There's more of the lonesome dove movies. The guy who wrote those books had a son who is also a good songwriter. The Indiana Jones movies are also classics.

    Elderly man kills home invaders, drops best one liner ever.

    I think there's a lot of people who feel this way, yet still feel guilty that they are committing thought crimes against what they have been indoctrinated with since birth, and are afraid to bring up the subject and even more afraid to entertain thoughts of what it implies for the future. You...

    The Act of Killing (documentary)

    There was a female shooter originally from Venezuela, who gave a female only class at a local range and I was bs-ing with the RO, who related the story she told: When you are from shithole country, bad stuff happens to you or somebody you know, when you are from a so-called developed country you...

    Colorado rocky mountain high(jackings)

    8:26, motorcycle cop comes flying by with gun drawn on bike. I wondered if he popped one off? The guy's attitude changed immediately when there was a gun pointed at him.

    Dont let paratroopers play with your toys.

    I was thinking the same thing. Not a good omen of things to come.

    What happened to us??

    You know if you just got a Glock 19, you wouldn't have to dress around the gun and could come close to doubling your firepower for the same number of mags. You could honestly probably get away with skinny jeans, or at least clothes that fit, and blend right in with masses. :)
