Maggie’s THE "NOM NOM NOM" THREAD

I’ve been on a keto type diet combined with one meal a day for the last month. Down 22# and feeling fantastic.
Down side is missing some of your favorite decadent noms…..
Cured a craving for pizza with this keto friendly deep dish delight.

The crust is surprisingly good for being such a simple RECIPE. Instead of laying it out flat I formed it into the 10” cast iron pan that I browned the sausage in. Baked it a bit to make sure it was firmed up before adding fillings.
It contains provolone, parmesan, mozzarella, low carb pizza sauce, homemade mild venison Italian sausage, pepperoni, green pepper and green olives.

Should only be about 30g carbs for the entire pie…

See there's no monster under your bed...WTF!!!!!

Comes back as raccoon...

Also cadaver dogs can't smell deeper than 10 feet... Heard that from a friend...

Sirhr

Watched a documentary that said as deep as 15 feet and up to 30 meters in water (if my memory is still working) and for centuries after burial.

Brother had a friend who went missing while duck hunting. Found his boat upside down in the river. Cadaver dog kept alerting in the same spot, but divers said nothing was there. Third or fourth trip down they found him almost covered in mud. Don’t recall the depth.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

I am some what aware and was 14 years old in 1944.

Do you have anything specific to read, I will check it out. I enjoy learning about history especially someone that has as much pull as him.

I what I have researched, and I am not defending his actions, I personally believe they were doing what they could to survive a fucked up situation.

Yes he was a member of the Judeanrat. Yes he was around some very heinous things. No doubt.
You are 95 years old?

PRS Talk What’s your favourite backpack

I know you didn't ask me but I put a length of 4" sewer pipe in my Eberlestock X1 scabbard and I'm going to strap another one to the side of my Fac Track. The rubber parts don't stick and it doesn't need straps unless you tip your pack upside down. It looks a little silly but I plan on painting them.

Looks good. Could even strap it on the outside for taller 2 section tripods.

Federal does it again 😅

I think the barrel length thing was an interesting marketing choice. This is just a "super magnum" with another 20K PSI being delivered, allegedly safely, at a high cost per round, and more expensive/challenging to reload. That is still a pretty interesting proposition, and I'll be excited to see this shrunk down. I'd love to be able to push a bonded, high BC, 80+ grain .224, .244, or .25 caliber projectile at 3500 FPS +, while still having okay barrel life, and a short action. I have been reading articles that say "no recoil!", but I'm skeptical. Energy is energy.

This feels like a great North American and African big game cartridge.
I’m still unclear how launching the same weight bullet with more pressure(because the brass can take it) to go faster somehow does not impact barrel life in a negative way. Take a 28 Nosler and cut the 24” barrel down to 16”. Speed for the same bullet will be very close to 7 BC, but somehow barrel heat and recoil are magically lower?

Current Surgeon vs AI Action

Only failures I've seen in AI have been from competition triggers or people running a BR cartridge without a mag kit and getting feeding issues.

As mentioned both are good. If you don't like the AI chassis then no downside to a surgeon or similar premium action.

I've owned and still own quite a few rifles and have a AI and TRG. They all work and I've had no failures with the 700 style actions with regular maintenance

Neck Tension and Pressure Signs

Rusty

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I’m currently experiencing this same issue. Rusty, any chance you found a remedy
I had all the same issues.... I was blowing primers and getting swipe at loads that had previously shot well and were definitely not super hot. My eventual remedy was two-fold. I found the necks in my Lapua brass were a bit tight in my match chamber (drop in Proof barrel for an AI-AT). So I turned the necks of all my 6CM lapua brass.

I also attacked my carbon ring with CLR as nothing else I tried touched it. I did CLR for about 15-20 min max on a soaked patch in just the chamber and then thoroughly cleaned any CLR out.

Both of those together seemed to do the trick. The rifle shoots the same loads now with no signs of pressure and is still a hammer. I was banging a 1300 yd plate with it just a few days ago.

to edit: I also went back and rechecked my headspace and realized I was probably bumping the shoulders back a bit much. I went from about 3-4 thou down to about 1 thou. I bump them just enough so that the case chambers easily but no more.
