    Do you think the 375CT & 408CT are here to stay?

    True however there are some other calibers still out there for the Windrunner. I still kick myself because I had the chance at a smoothbore .50BMG barrel for my Windrunner and just didn't have the cash. Also there was a certain someone on here many moons ago that would make odd caliber...

    Labradar doppler chronograph

    So does it give you the velocities at specific distances? Can those distances be varied? Considering the PVM-08 is $800 this may be right up my alley.

    It is not my video. Came across it some months ago. You could always ask him. He said it was a 4 rpm dc motor he got at a junk parts store for a couple dollars. Should not need anything with a ton of torque though. As to the slots he has other vids on shellplates. Yes it is just a matter of...

    DIY Concentricity gage

    holes are drilled to locate the bearings and while the epoxy sets up just flip it upside down so the bearings locate fully on a case then it won't "3 leg" on you. All the bearings are resting on the case with equal pressure.

    World Record Shoot

    I am all for any shot, any way, hit on any size object is the record. What makes that good IMHO is that it sets a bench for the second attempt. I think a shot hit at 3,000 is incredible. Also since it will be on camera it has to have some "show" to it. I know most here don't like that (I don't...

    Soldiers Christmas poem

    The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, My daughter beside me, angelic in rest. Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, Transforming the yard to a winter delight. The sparkling...

    firearm storage question

    Just a word to the wise. It is not recommended to put your safe in the garage as it is MUCH easier to steal the whole safe. It also opens you up to prying eyes every time you open the garage door.

    Selling stolen military equipment

    Equipment is sold to civilians all the time. DRMO. Can't count the stuff that is not fixed that goes to DRMO and is then off to a public auction.

    Road Rage scenario

    I can attest to this. SoCal has some of the worst maintained roads in the country. San Diego can have some car eating holes without a doubt.
