    Boeing down in India

    If the flaps were not set to the position the aircraft speeds were set for, then they would have had to ignore a checklist and a warning message. Large amounts of dust at rotation to me would indicate getting airborne at the very end of the rwy. Of the various possibilities, I would bet they...

    The world lost a literary giant today.... RIP Frederick Forsyth

    Many great works. If you haven't read it, The Veteran is a book of shorter stories, with the titled one being one of my favorites.

    What 224 bore supressor should I get for a Remington XP-100?

    I went with the OCL Polonium K for the 10.3 AR. Seemed to have a very good review on short barrels and is reasonably light. Came with a Ti HUB. https://pewscience.com/sound-signature-reviews-free/sss-6-95-ocl-polonium-k-mk18-556

    Vehicle hail damage question

    My best guess it that they will total it for the body damage. They may offer to let you buy it back, but it not, ask them if you can. If they say no, then find out who they are selling it to. There are two big companies that do auctions for totalled/stolen vehicles. It may take it a few...

    Heavily fluted chamber to aid extraction? HK-91 or LaRue OBR with "xtraxn". (SVT-41 also in 7.62x54R)

    anybody else do this? (case lube and primer pocket cleaning novel ideas)

    When I occasionally clean primer pockets, I also use the uniformer tool. If using motor oil type fluid for lube when case sizing, how do you get it off? Toss the brass in a pot of boiling water a couple of times, or ???

    NOW I REMEMBER WHY I LOVE MY DILLON CARBIDE DIES

    DIY yourself a stuck case remover, if you already have a decent sized tap sitting around? Drill out the primer hole, tap/thread that hole, then use washers and a bolt with a wrench on it to exert tension against the bottom of the die to pull the case out

    Fake reloading supplies company? reloaderscenter.com

    But no Fed LR Magnum primers! A scam, as I doubt they have the 999 8lb bottles of Magpro that is in my cart for a cool 250K.

    5.56 AR Only Loads

    24.3gn of Ar-Comp with milsurp 62 gn steel core gave me right around 2750fps out of an 18” barrel. You should be able to go higher with lead core. I was surprised that the velocity was so low, as this is nearly the same speed as my 77gn load using Ar-Comp.
