Nah, I gotta get up and twist the bunny ears
Nope. But looks mighty tasty. Who do you want banned??
It is indeed quite smooth. On my second glass tonight.
Dealer's choice on that ban-hammer. There's a rank here and they don't give the grunts the launch codes - even if they've been here 18 years
I'm having back surgery in Lexington May 22. Going down 2 days early. Might have to take a drive over to Buffalo Trace and grab some to numb the pain.
Damn that sucks. Hope it's going to be pretty straight-forward. Might want to grab a few in that case. It's smooth.
Smooth = sneaky! Right properly trashed in a jiffy.
Unfortunately not. 2 muscles torn off my left shoulder blade from auto accident.
That translates to cutting me open, scraping my left shoulder blade of scar tissue, drilling 10 holes through my shoulder blade, sewing muscles back on. Left arm in cast sticking out in front of my and legally cant drive for 6 weeks, then cant lift anything heavier than a coffee cup for 7-8 months, 12 month full recovery. I don't sleep from the pain. Best part, my insurance denied paying for surgery cause it's out if network and told me to go to an orthopedic surgeon in my area. Appealed 3x and was denied even though we told them the surgeons in my network told me to go to this guy in Kentucky.
Welcome to my world
Sorry to hear about your troubles. Thoughts and prayers for you and yours.

In machining, some machinists refer to ten thousandths (.0001) as "thousandths" rather than ten thousandths. Have a few buddies that work in tool and die. All of them use that term.

DAMN. Sorry to hear that, along with the whole insurance bullshit. A quick recovery we hope you have. On the bright side, you won't be in pain after recovery, and if you bought a suppressor right before the surgery you'd get it about the same time you're all healed up also!
@1J04 went sort of through that same mess kinda. He might have a few helpful tips for you!
Thanks. I've been in pain for so long I'm just ready to get it over with.
He said the “shape down to 2-3 thousandths”. I think he meant they went that deep when creating the shape. As in tweaking 2-3 thou in the shape of it.
I thought you guys weren’t allowed to have guns
I'm going to start splitting all my wood like that
That's an Italian suppository, right?
We are allowed guns mate. We just have to have licences and register everything. There are limitations on action types etc though. Also some states have idiotic appearance laws. Go figure
Good luck with all that @padom . That's gonna get old, fast. I'm sure you already know, but dammit push yourself within reason. If you're hurting yourself while trying to get better, don't. Discomfort is one thing, causing deep pain is another. Best to you and keep the mind busy, and whine, even if you don't hurt. It helps us all in the long run.
In Cartman's best whiny voice, "Honey, can you........" I milked the hell outta that one.
Drank a bottle of 20yr and 15yr pappy van winkle back when we didn’t know what was good. Might have even taken shots of it ?

Ya the markup on Price-$ for you is robbery . everything we take for granted here in shooting related items is half price what you have to pay .
I got a couple good buddies down there that all shoot rifle and pistol . Was told it is quite the bullshit for jumping threw the hoops but after that it just short waits for things . Auto-feed Bolt rifle are a no-go and all Sub-compact frame and barrel pistols are No-Go also . but they shoot about everything else after all the classes, permits and waiting .
.
There also stating there LONG with that Alum. tip .
Just how long are they ??? .
250 Grn..30 cal's. . ( out of a 300WM ) , To get really the Max. performance out of them . Will I have to stretch-out the Cartridge OAL. and Single-Feed ?

Best wishes Padom that is a big bag o dicks to chew on.... By way of cruel motivation , I challenge you
to beat your own score in the SH 100 yard challenge in 12 months time
. I’m in for a six pack , or will donate a bottle of some local shine which may be better for the pain .
Yeah heard the ‘ 3 thou ‘ reference and was like WTF ? The last batch of Hornady 225 ELDMs I got were
fkn egg shaped , no doubt these A tips will be a lot better .
I love when shooters bring up A tip bullets and drinkers bring up Pappy. No one is impressed. My Tikka shoots 1/3 moa. It ain't going to shoot better than that. Same for my SAC, TGR42, GAP. And Pappy, Please everyone knows that guy....... the look at me......... Wheller is where it's at.

Thanks bud. That's a deal. It's my opposite shoulder, so maybe I'll be able to start shooting from the bench after a month or two....
After the 140 RDF's, I would be happy with .003". The RDF's varied as much as .022" base to tip.
I and most of my coworkers refer to them as tenths. Aerospace engine grinding.
@1J04 did I start somthing...?
Their rye is going to get popular like blantons and I won’t be able to get it anymore either!!
