I’m a cash kind of guy, and at a store today, I was told that they didn’t take cash, card only. I didn’t mind paying with a card, but what the heck is up with not taking cash?

Oh it’s much worse. I can bury you in pessimism

I’m a recovering pessimist. You internet folks only get the light version because reasons. We may end up shoulder to shoulder overlooking the pit that holds those who thought they were above reckoning. I’m good with that.

Famous German line when things don't go well for you at the security check... "Your papers do not appear to be in order..take him away".

^ have you tested the eld m or the new vt bullets

Ive shot a few small critters with the 6.5mm 100gr VT at 2600-ish impact velocities. Devastating. Very accurate too. I use them in short barreled guns.

considering buying an Sig P229 M11 A1 for carrying in a chest rig by Hill People GDear when out alone hunting.

P229 is fine for 2-legged varmints when alone, however even in .357 Sig, it has not been well vetted against thick hide North American deadly predators like other legacy calibers. It's a different discussion.

Went Alaska outback last summer, packed out 12 ga. optic-fitted FN Herstal police shotgun for the campsite and S&W 4" Mountain .44 mag with 300 gr flat nose cast bullets for the carry rig. Other campers with similar side arms. No one wants to engage the big game at or near the camp unless absolutely necessary. Left the 10 mm options home.

Ahhh I see my comment and confusion, for some reason I didn't add "just below" in that comment and fixed it. My apologies. This is an area of malleable but won't allow sharp edges to pierce unlike if a firing pin was to strike like the Ball Point with a sharp edge or wedge. This gives a positive stop for the varying rim thickness. Definitely a fine balance.
I made a few more pins with the top edge chamfered to strike just below the edge.
These firing pins ideally should be made on a Swiss Lathe, had a turn mill guru show me a trick using a eccentric turning macro g code(off center turning) to make this possible to manufacturer on this machine. Im excited to show yall the progress I made so far. I'll post a picture of all the first batch of actions nearly completed and ready for barrels to mount.

This level of precision construction lends itself to only barreled actions being available to the public. I am a reluctant fan. Many of us amateur gunsmiths are not confident that our haphazard assemblies are as accurate as they can be. I was quite tickled today to see my home headspaced custom 22 was not shaving bullets. I’ll take it, because I’m not sure how it happened.

Just hope it’s not a newer car and that the central computer didn’t get zorched!

There are supposed to be safeguards.

BUT… strange things can happen that put a jolt into the ECU’s and similar systems.

It can be like when the monkey peed into the cash register… it will run into money!

I have found RUAG SR primers to be softer (for lack of a better word) than 450's, GMM AR, or 7 1/2's.

Not sure why you are seeing dirty cases with a heavier charge. Benchmark is not a powder I use so I can't help there. I have shot a few thousand of the 107 SMK in the Grendel and I use 8208 and mostly 450's with them.

Suppressor used?

Yup, I was shooting suppressed. I primarily use 450s too. However this entire outing I wanted to try the RUAG. All three 5 shot charges with the SMK had single digit ES & SDs. My "control" group with 450s had higher numbers. I will continue testing more when I get the chance. Maybe spife will chime in later. He's usually very knowledgeable and spends time in this forum.

Thanks for the reply. Found another thread of yours showing a 5 round group from a bipod and tripod with little to no difference in POI. I appreciate it!

I did something very similar when we moved and my kids had a playhouse I built when we were broke. All is well that ends well.

When the government budgets stop paying uniform hangars, these “problem children” will be dealt with quickly. A few generic low performers will be offed because of poor association, but so it goes. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

Where is that at? The weather was great last weekend! I got a 12 mile ride in at Lercher Saturday afternoon

Which battery would you recommend? I looked around and the best deal I've found is Sam's Club. They have a 3 year with a really good warranty for about $100-120 depending on vehicle. The one in my 2002 Chevy Express lasted 3.5 years.

I don't look for the best deal.
I look for the best battery for the application.
I like Varta batteries which are an OEM for Mercedes.
