    Please tell me why, re:WW2, pillboxes weren't disabled prior to GI landings and:

    Why people in Ukraine and neighbors would want to be friendly to EU, esp. Germans that murdered and raped many of their (Ukraine and other) citizens during WW2, and Soviets liberated them.

    I'm far from an activist, but is this becoming

    something more people are thinking about? Lately, I have been watching military TV-WW2, etc. I was thinking, the atmosphere here in USA is becoming more and more like that of Germany, Hitler's rise, because of similar things going on here. Just coincidence maybe, but was listening to a radio...

    Sorting bullets ?

    Just saw the sticky on this and it helps a lot. I measured 39 Hornady 162 Amax and the ogive length difference of 0.011" using a Sinclair Nut (7mm hole) and dial caliper. Is this a lot of variance? Is this the same measurement (bearing surface) as described in the article using the inserts on a...

    First shot precision?

    Have recently started to shoot my savage m12 204r in a local comp. It starts at 200 yds, one shot at a score target, about 1.5" 25pt center. Then ten shots on another. No sighters or flags. Off bench, rest. Some hit 25 on first shot, some not, including me-not. Got a 23 one week, a 22 next...
