    Unsung Heroes: U.S. Navy Corpsmen

    I left out a bit that I kept thinking about. My dad got out after 20 years, and never made chief because he was a corpsman attached to Marines so his overseas duty did not count as sea duty in the eyes of the gorm refusing it. Meanwhile I delivered papers to officers housing walking past BMW...

    Unsung Heroes: U.S. Navy Corpsmen

    I had to log in the minute I saw this! That's my dad! 2 tours with the CB's in Vietnam and many years of service from x-ray tech to medical repair to founding a volunteer rescue Squad to RN in civilian life.

    The Secret to Concealing Any Gun…

    In the IT world, the first rule of cybersecurity is "Don't talk about your cybersecurity". I think ccw is the same. I often wear untucked shirts and larger t's in summer to help conceal, but I'd like to mention the one thing that's helped me over the years and that's being comfortable with...

    XD-M Elite vs. SA-35: Does New Outpace the Old?

    Having just squinted past the set of buckhorns on my 1894c trying to see the paper much less the bull at 100yrds I agree that old eyes struggle and know where you're coming from for sure. I moved in to 50yrds which is a much more likely range for the little carbine, and still had trouble...

    XD-M Elite vs. SA-35: Does New Outpace the Old?

    That's what I was afraid of. Both distance from and size of the target bull come into major play when this theory is used. If the sights are high when splitting the bull they need to be fixed. This is not just my opinion in this case. It's been debunked a thousand times and is in all the...

    XD-M Elite vs. SA-35: Does New Outpace the Old?

    I don't have time to watch right now but maybe somebody can explain to me what 6 o'clock hold is? I seriously hope it's not what I think it is.

    reloading questions/advice if you would please?

    Do you mean this side note? If not, sorry for the confusion. Jfal said: ...The one thing that always bothered me about SOP with reloading is cleaning used brass with the old primer still in the case, rather than removing it to allow cleaning of the primer pocket. Seems no one cares how dirty...

    reloading questions/advice if you would please?

    Ah I see. I totally missed where he got a progressive setup. Yep, that's exactly what I mean by the delay. It's even more important on the big rifle cases. That big cylindrical powder takes forever to slide in.(rip imr4831)

    Good deeds or just a capitalist

    Meanwhile back at the ranch, they also like to confuse people by making the claim that the oligarchy led corporatism is capitalism which it is not. It's actually much closer to fascism/communism where the state controls the corporate power making them one entity. Like them, ours has the...

    reloading questions/advice if you would please?

    I wouldn't mind having a progressive like that one but all my stuff is either my dad's ancient Herters or collected from gun shows lee rcbs, and lyman singles. I know that full length sizing .270 can be a bear and that the little open lee press runs and hides whenever I buy once fired brass to...

    reloading questions/advice if you would please?

    Without an internal baffle which most drops no longer have, the powder has a tendency to shake down and pack, causing fail to fill like that. Also, make sure you wait a solid 2 count to let it pour. I adopted a double up double down tap which has helped. The old ancient herters drop was the best...

    reloading questions/advice if you would please?

    Walnut hulls are especially good at blocking the flash hole. I don't want to run dirty brass through my dies so I leave them in and then use a primer pocket cleaning tool to check each one individually after the decap/resize. This also lets me check for that pesky blockage. It's a minor job once...

    In retrospect to my comment. It may be not as dangerous here. :)

    ewe tube

    This may be dangerous ground but if people don't stand somewhere it will for sure be dangerous in the end. Hopefully free speech still has a home in a few forums and I won't get banned or tinfoil hatted for mentioning "those other guys". {hiding} I thought about doing a channel at Rumble but...

    HELP!!!

    And here I thought I was long winded. :D Solvents are solvents I suppose, I stand corrected on undiluted simple green and maybe I'll give it a try one day. One thing though, you say you rinse things then go on to say you can't get the water out so it rusts. This is circular logic. Solution: I...
