  1. May I have your share?
  2. Assuming you did everything else consistently, it looks like you hit a "node" around 42-43 grains. Good job. Varget is my goto for the 30-06. Tried it some in the .308 and 5.56, but nothing extensive. Great all around powder.
  3. I'll probably go see it, but I always wonder how badly Hollyweird will muck up a true life story. They didn't for "13 Hours", they didn't for "The Darkest Hour", so you never know.
  4. "A Taste Of Armageddon". War became so "clean" and neat that the participants lost the horror of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Taste_of_Armageddon
  5. It's interesting that Jon Wolfe says nitriding is specifically not for bolts. And yet the nitride BCG and bolts on AR style rifles is widespread. Something of a contradiction. BTW, Jon has built an M14 for me. We can discuss that some other time.
  6. In every generation, there is a distribution of talent in the younger ones. Many years ago I was commander of a CAP squadron. You could always tell the cadets who were going to excel in life, as opposed to the ones who were going to end up underneath a bridge. I think all of us here do the best we can to exhort our children to excel regardless of their peers. Obviously, the girl portrayed in the video is stereotypical of those who end up underneath a bridge when mommy and daddy cut them off.
  7. F you! Saints never fail to disappoint! (said with all possible love and respect.)
  8. There's a program on Travel Channel called Bizzare Foods. Even the host, who has eaten rotted fish heads, wouldn't touch that stuff. You are an animal!
  9. Yeah, baby!
  10. Couldn't resist. Tennessee Arms has their polymer 308AR lowers on sale. $55 for a stripped lower and free shipping.
  11. Thanks guys. First one married off.
  12. Hey, if I lived in Arkansas, I'd vote for her. What a babe! https://janmorganforgovernor.com/
  13. Another in a series of wondrous weekends. They just don't stop coming. My oldest daughter married Saturday. $$$$, but worth it. About 11 months in the planning, and everything went smoothly. Fantastic time had by all! Then two of my nieces (sisters no less) had their babies on Saturday. How did they plan that? Everyone is healthy. More events on the way, and will tout them as they happen.
  14. Rather than get "stuff", I like to make memories, so I got a couple of cool presents for my family. My youngest daughter had asked to get her concealed carry permit, so I bought her a CCW class. My wife loves boats, so I bought a ride on the restored PT305! When the weather warms up a bit, we'll take the trip. Should be a blast! http://www.pt305.org/
  15. God Bless us, everyone! (Not my line, obviously.) A Blessed Christmas and a prosperous and Happy New Year.
  16. Very cute, and even Norwegians can't pronounce Vihtaviouri, so I don't feel so bad now.
  17. Just hold your 308ARs at arms length. 10 lbs. each, right?
  18. I can compartmentalize.
  19. The Garand is and always will be my first love in rifles. It just fits right. No love lost for the M14 or the ARs. How can you not love all your children?
  20. What happened to her ass recently?
  21. Ha ha. Someone sure has a lot of time on their hands!
  22. If any of you head to the Big Easy, let me know and I'll try and break away and meet you for a drink.
  23. We had a couple inches of snow here on the northshore of Lake Ponchartrain last Friday. Yes, you'd think the world was coming to an end. All public schools closed Thursday evening. Thursday f'ing evening in anticipation of massive amounts of snow! People just kind of shut down. I had a meeting scheduled for Saturday morning 20 miles away, they called Friday and asked if I'd like to reschedule because of the snow. I laughed and said no, just be on time. No worry about beer, water, spirits or bread. Plenty of everything around all the time.
