Sorry about the goat, those critters are neat. The Pyrs upset about it? They tend to take things like that personal.

Been a while on this thread. "There are many secrets in us, in the depths of our souls, that we don't want anyone to know about. There's terror and repulsion in us, the terrible spot that we don't talk about. That place no one knows about -- horrifying things we keep secret. A lot of that is released through acting." Charles Durning's first job in the entertainment field was as an usher at a burlesque house. His career officially started as a singer with a band at the age of 16, before going into acting. His first professional play was in Buffalo before he went off to war. Durning was part of the first wave of soldiers to land on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Durning was the only member of his unit to survive the assault. In March 1945, Durning was moving into Germany with the 398th Infantry Regiment when he took a bullet to the chest. That bullet effectively ended Durning's service; he spent the rest of the war in the hospital recovering from his wounds. He received his third Purple Heart and discharged in 1946 with the rank of private first class. In addition to his Purple Hearts, he received a Silver Star for his actions during the war, but later in life, he refused to talk about the details of his service, describing the memories as too painful. Despite the wounds he received in WWII (he was shot in the legs and hip by machine-gun fire), he went on to become a professional dancer and dance teacher. He taught at the Fred Astaire studios and relied upon it when he couldn't find acting work. "Dancing came easy for me. Acting came hard." Durning passed away in 2012, and was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. Happy Birthday, Charles Durning!

I have 20 Armalite AR 10 mags now. Don’t see a need for more unless the price came way down.

Perfect. Keep rolling brother.

Finally starting to feel good about the level of my work outs. When I lay off a while it is always frustrating having to work back to what I was doing before. Instead of adding a lot of weight on weight resistance exercises, this time I am increasing reps, 4 x 10 now, working towards 4 x 15 with moderate weight, and finding new exercises to replace ones I can’t do anymore because of old injuries and surgeries. Kettlebells have been a big help for core strengthening exercises, since I can’t bend my back to do sit ups anymore. Also discovered my old favorite, the stair master. Need to work back up to 1,000 steps at a time. Gonna take a while, but that is okay.

A couple of things about Malaysian or any third world country brass- 1. Do an internet search on the brass using the code on the headstamp, which will include the year. There are a lot of nuances sometimes. I had some Indian brass, and it turned out the year was important as far as the quality and who was managing the factory manufacturing it. Any Goggle or other search should bring out any potential problems that previous reloaders have experienced. 2. If you can get a few Lake City brass, weigh them, then fill them with water and weigh them again. Then do the same with a sample number of your Malaysian brass. That will let you know if their is any significant variation in capacity volume between the foreign and the gold standard Lake City brass, and you can take that into account on your case capacity. I am guessing their will be a wider variation on the Malaysian brass, which might affect accuracy. Oh and one last thing that is so simple and obvious, yet has happened with foreign brass before, especially older brass. Shine a flashlight down the throat of one of those Malaysian brass and verify that their is one ignition hole centered on the primer pocket. If there are two off center holes it is Berdan primed and you are SOL in terms of reloading it.

Wish I had got one 50 years ago.

I have removed at least 8,000 military crimps of 7.62x51, 5.56x45, 45 ACP, 9 mm, and 30 cal US.(30-06). Did them all with a hand reamer or a drill reamer. It isn’t rocket science.

Double drool

That looks like Coulee’s Couloir, Jackson hole Wyoming. That and Soudan Couloir at Blackcomb in British Columbia had me saying “Nope, Nope, Nope!”

Great looking family! Nothing better then wood heat! 78F and humid here. Got a bunch of Rays showed up under the pier. Nothing big, but fun to watch. I guess Bull Sharks and Bonnet Head sharks come in and feed on them. Haven’t seen any Bulls but spotted a four foot Bonnet Head.

yeah would not be a good thing. I will follow the recommendations of my LGS guy. He knows his stuff.

The suppressor I use for my 300 Blk is actually for my 45 ACP FNX45. It has an adapter but is recommended for 300 Blk only. A 300 WM would probably blow it apart.

Welcome from points North and South depending on the season.

Probably apply at my LGS when and if I order it.

Leaning towards the 300 WM with a muzzle brake. Plus I have 100 Hornady ELD 225 grain 30 cal. Bullets sitting on my reloading bench. Left over from a failed 300 Blk experiment. 🤔

may or may not reload. Probably start out with good quality factory ammo just to get a brass inventory.

If I bite it will be by fall. Either 6.5 Creedmore or 300 Winchester Magnum. Pros and cons?

Finally did the first decent complete workout since screwing up my foot. Felt great . Now I have to work on adding a little every workout. An extra weight on benchpresses, an extra five minutes on the Exercycle, etc..

See where I am in October.

Doesn’t really matter where it throws them as long as it doesnt hit your face and is consistent. Enjoy the gun.

Boot came off last week. A couple of days before that my left ankle and left big toe and my right ankle started hurting. So when I saw the doc I asked him to look at it. He did and asked me one question: “Are you on hydrochlorothiazide?” I told him yes I was. Turns out he suspects it triggered an attack of gout. Fortunately he prescribed some stuff that got it under control in two days. So now I am hitting the gym, but I need to step up how regular I hit it and start working the legs now that they are recovering. I have been working raking sea weed off the condo beach every day, which actually is a pretty strenuous workout with how much water and wet sand it contains. Now that I have a function next November as a goal to get in shape for, I need to get serious.

I have a commercial 16” barrel 300 Blk. With a pistol gas system and a fixed gas block that digests supers, subsonics, factory Sellors and Beloit subs and handloads of both Super and subsonics reliably. The company must have done their homework.

I have a 20 W DeWalt and I use it twice as much as my gas Jonsruds, but I don’t heat with wood anymore. Used to cut and stack 12 cords a year for the wood boiler and fireplace.
