I thought i would add this article I came across awhile back, a lot of useful info: http://www.6mmbr.com/annealing.html

I'm not a collector, but for $35 I'd take it. It's just a tool to me, it's history means little to me.

This will cover it:

1) Not sure I've seen the same results at least with self cast bullets, purchased ones maybe, because when they advertise.401 you usually get .401. 2) Sort of, the plunk test is as good as a gauge but a gauge is an invaluable tool for cases such as the 300 Blk and others which you form yourself. 3) Many bullets sold are already lubricated, you almost have to request unlubricated ones if you want to do your own. And if you require.402 or .403 just open up a .401 it's easy enough to do: There are a bunch more vids out there .

I'm ok with the way it is, I seem to be able to hit the button on my tablet consistently, maybe if the button was a little bigger it would help others a bit. As for switching the function, I think it works as is, the title SHOULD take you to the top, such as a forum title, the blue button would be counterintuitive if it took you to the top of the thread. I don't know if the old software had this function (last read) but I like it, before I had to go to the last post and scroll up to start where I !eft out. Overall I'm a fan of this upgrade, seems there are quite a few improvements over the old one. Maybe we need to give it a little time to get used to it and concentrate on bugs for now.

I like the look of the darker theme, and I like how the top menu area stay in top (on my tablet), but scrolling seems to load slower. I don't know if that (dark theme) is non mobile or not but even though I like the look better I'll stay with the default for now . Just noticed that the background in the darker theme is translucent, kinda cool.

Did he have his shotgun ready?

Yea, it's basically on the same level as some of the DIY projects on YouTube. In a couple vids they show the back; besides the metal it looks rather simple. But I'm not that skilled at metal work so I'd have to buy one if I wanted one.

I've done that too, but I used a square baking pan and I put enough water to go just below the shoulder. I stood up some deprimed .308s (was thinking maybe they wouldn't sit right on the bottom if not full of water) then went to putting the torch to them. it worked decently enough, but standing them all up became tedious so now just use the drill method. I toyed with the idea of getting an Annealeez machine but I don't anneal enough to warrant it.

I had seen a video once on how I do it, but can't seem to find the exact one. Here is one sort of like it, but the torch is in a stand and you have a bucket of water to stop the heat from progressing: I don't anneal often, maybe after 3 or 4 firings for my hunting rounds or ones I formed myself like the 300 BLK or .277 WLV.

@peejman I guess it depends on how far gone the bear is, I've seen many videos of animal control using dogs and shotguns to scare a bear away from a populated area. I suppose if a bear deems a trashcan easier than getting food in the woods it may take that change of getting euthanized. One of the videos was from one of the northern states, Alaska maybe, and they had tags on the bear that showed she had been back to the trash heap a few times, so I don't know how well it works, but there is no doubt they keep trying to correct the behavior.

I disagree to an extent, every once in awhile I come across a brick or two at the older prices. And I no longer see table upon table offering these .22s at .223 prices at gunshows. Sooner or later the hoarders and gougers will get their fill and the .22s will be back at every Wal-Mart in the US. As I see it, those of us that are willing to pay those high prices are as much to blame as the gougers out there. Me, I started plinking with my AR because I could shoot cheaper with that than my .22s. I am not saying not to shoot your .22s, I like them too, but when we pay over the top prices it only urges the gougers to keep the prices high.

Maybe, but this was a high profile win for him so am sure his business increased accordingly, he may not be so inclined.

Many places will scare the bears away when they get close to human areas: They even have dogs trained to scare them as well: http://animalrescuehome.com/the-bear-scaring-dog-reacted-in-the-sweetest-possible-way-to-a-fawn/ FL recommends scaring them off your property too: http://myfwc.com/media/2577707/Scare-that-Bear-Statewide.pdf

Sounds more to me like the Rangers just wanted to make a point. Why is it that when bears get habituated to people they go out of their way to retrain their fear of people and not much effort was made to save this animal. Even if the herd didn't eventually take it in, I am sure there are more than a few sanctuaries it could have been moved to. No, they just wanted to make a point and get some media exposure about this problem, and it is a problem, and since Bison have become so plentiful, well...

Yea, definitely appreciate the effort put forth to keep us sharing and arguing about important and totally stupid subjects. Keep up the good work, we will be right here even if it means staring at the maintenance screen while you get it running the way you want it.

Then he wouldn't have had to lead her as much.

And I agree with him, nobody NEEDS an AK47, we WANT an AK47 and we should be able to have an AK47. Besides, many here would not own an AK if they had a Ma Deuce.

Do you mean all the reported issues, or just the ones that made you place it offline? If all, I still can't see the messages and notifications icons on the upper right or the blue dot to go to the first unread in a post in IE.

On my phone and tablet there is very little wood to the left and right, just a sliver really, whereas on my pc I can see the logo as shown in the second screenshot. Doesn't bother me though as I get on some sites that are either brighter or darker than others.

There are a few places around here that do that, the post keeps them in business, we have ball caps, t-shirts, ascots and banners made often enough.. Let me know what you want done, price range and stuff and I can do the leg work for you.

There is also a link at the bottom right that says the same thing "Unread Content", great addition IMO, I used to have to scroll all the way back to the top to get to the link which was a PITA on a touch screen. When I first used the Unread Content it asked about making it my default stream, said yes but not sure what that did.

Ah yes, seen it, thanks David.

You can set your notifications in Account settings. Just click the screen name next to your avatar on the upper right, then Account settings, then there is a link on the right hand side for Notification settings. Edit: As David pointed out, this sets board notifications not the browser's push notifications.
