Raining like monsoon season in some backwater 3rd world jungle and now the power is out. Me and this fat chihuahua sitting here on the couch contemplating life….like “what will we have for lunch” and “why is my toe hurting”….you know the serious questions of existence.

Rules

Grandson stayed with me all day Sunday and we went to Wytheville to Rural King for some glyphosate and other stuff…..like cap pistols and green trolls. Stopped at Harmon’s Western Wear to look at the museum too.

Question for you reloaders…. Have any of you found that you had to develop different loads for different brands of brass? I did my load development using Hornady brass, but want to load some Starline. Can I use the same Hornady loads with the Starline brass and expect the same accuracy?

1. Yes, I had to start over when I switched from Hornady to Lapua…

2. Maybe, but not necessarily.

Sounds like somebody needs to step up to a 28 Sherman Mag.

Bonus to the Sherman is that you don't have to admit to the general crowd that you celebrate Pride month with a 7mm Backcountry.

It’s funny how many people sleep on what the 223 can accomplish with the right combo and a good shooter.

Yo look at this stuff

didnt workout, SPF to Razor 1

Sometimes you have delt with a lot of BS from certain people in charge that think they know more than they do. So you follow orders to teach them a lesson.

"Malicious Compliance" doing what you are told when you know damn well how its gonna go.

"Oh shit, you did it just like I told you."

Supposedly he dead. I Wouldn't be suprised if he is living in Hitlers palace in Brazil.

It’s interesting how many times a new fire on the map is within a few hundred yards, or less, of road access. It seems a lot rarer to see a fire start deep in the wilderness far from where someone could drive to.

I haven't looked for any trends as such, but have been suspicious for a while. I also look around at out forrests in CO and they are prime with overgrowth and beatle kill.

From the FD report in the OP, last line.
"At this time there appears to be no relation to the structure fire last evening."

I thought that was an odd comment too; according to a couple local news sources there was a residential fire at a house on 6th Ave the previous evening.


I suppose 2 structure fires within 12 hours in a town with a population of 11700 makes the front page and also makes the fire department include a comment in their information release.

How are you enjoying that maztech (2k or 15k?)? I am on the fence between getting a Tango or Maztech 2k. I am not sure I am ready to drop another 5k+ on the 15k just yet.

Was my first weekend out with it (15k) and it exceeded my expectations. Zeroing super fast. Ranging was instant out to 750.

The only glaring miss, which I knew going in, is the cord and remote. The cord needs a 90 degree connector out of the unit for those of us with larger turrets.

Buddy of mine got the 2k and FWIW he's a bit disappointed with the speed of the unit.

@jmp1 and @Blackdirt Cowboy , I’ll have to look for Red Man again and give an update for you. That price was at the 7-11 on Eureka Way near Shasta High School about 15 years ago. At that time, I was paying about $7/can for Copenhagen which is now averaging $10.50/can. Hence my switch to Longhorn.

Rules:


Needed a stiff drink after the spare tire sh*t the bed coming home from the range.

PSA - check your Spare Tire condition and replace it when you replace your other tires!

So.....walking in the woods causes fires. That's a new one on me.

It's your fat thighs rubbing those corduroy pants together that cause the spontaneous combustion.
