    Difference in bullets size, same weight

    Nominally .224, hornady 50 VN v-max. Factory box (shorter projectile) vs pulled V-max 50 gr, with cannelure. I have 2,000 of the longer ones and am concerned that although nominally the same weight, much longer and in a 223 case with H-335, it will compress. Note that in a true flat surface they...

    Rifle Scopes .300 Savage, Scope

    My wife inherited an older (call it vintage) 300 Savage. All the blue is there except the receiver, which is worn off, in the grey, as it were. No signs of rust. Checkering is perfect, and the bore is pristine. It was a lady's gun, and now is again. the previous owner had taken a deer a year...

    Movie Theater They Shall Not Grow Old

    Peter Jackson of Lord Of The Rings fame, borrowed some footage of WW1, showed the archivists what he'd like to do, by slowing the jittery camera speed, and colorizing the films. They like what they saw, and gave him the go-ahead. General release Feb 1. Look for it. In 3D! at some venues. They...

    Maggie’s New Book

    I thought there was a thread dedicated to books, but can't find it. My search-fu is weak. A friend and comrade Leo Heaney, has just finished his work on a book about the 1967 period of Tiger Force, 1/327 IN, 101st Airborne. If you read the BS crapalogue written by Salah and Weiss (mostly...

I am seeking a GPS that not only shows contours, but also shows faint roads and trails, and will select a line following the roads, rather than direct straight line routes. So, heres's the...

    AR's at Walmart

They were from BMI for 977,00 and DIA for 847.00. first of all, I never heard of either manufacturer, although BMI might be the resurrected Bushmaster company). Secondly, even after 3-4 days they were still...

    Gender-norming Ranger School.

    Anyone seen this yet? 5 MAY/12 It was clear that nobody's opinion was being solicited. The message came from the Chief of Staff of the Army, and the order seems to have come from echelons above him: Ranger School will admit women within a few months. And the women will pass, whatever it takes...

    Week of the Eagles, Ft Campbell KY

    I have been attending Week of the Eagles. A great opportunity to meet the young guys who are taking it to the hadjis. I will post some photos later. The team I support, Tiger Force of 1/327 infantry, 101st Airborne, are solid. Using some very good stuff, including a little plane that they fly...
