Elections mean things and they release outcomes...   ... The military-political enterprize (...there is one, you know...) is a microcosm of the US political spectrum and is made up of citizens... It is, in fact, made up of both left and right wing apparatchiks; just like the polititical zealots in other fields... Every civilian and uniformed apparatchik who serves in the military-political enterprize is not a "politically neutral" operative... They are, in fact, political operatives with political goals; and they are in the business of currying favor from their masters as well as engaging in the more noble aspects of military service...   The Nobama election (...and re-election...) loosed the left wing of this group with a vengeance and zeal not seen in my years of watchin politics; and they are goin about doin their work in an efficient manner; to the point of disregarding everything important for the sake of re-writing history and building a glorious new socialist narrative...   This country was founded on the proposition that the military should be "politically neutral" and subject to "civilian control"...It is, in fact, subject to "civilian control"... That "civilian control" is bringing the outcomes we are discussing now... It never wuz "politically neutral"...   The fix for this "problem" is one of two things; the first, vote the present bunch out (...which is very likely in the next couple of years...); the second is to do away with the standing army; which i think aint a bad idea, and resurrect the old militia...   Students of history will remember that there was a pitched battle between the founding fathers RE: "the standing army" thing... They knew then that there was a great possibility for abuse... The "abuse" thing depends on which side of the political spectrum ya are on... Right now, the constitutional, historical, uniquely american side that most of us real people are on is suffering at the hands of those on the glorious socialist utopian politically correct side...   isolationist leroy, candidate for the old timers militia

Got a small fixed blade with osage orange scales... Very beautiful and hard as a harlot's heart... It's good stuff for handles...   leroy

What's not ta like about this gal??!!  Helluva shot too...   admirin leroy

SW40 turned me on to these:  http://oldfaithfulholsters.com/   I've bought 3 of the "quick assemble" kits from them... One for a Sig p238... They are made of great materials, easy to assemble, and are are held together with chicago screws instead of rivets (...which i like...)... I highly recommend 'em for an IWB hybrid holster like a crossbreed...   leroy

Luke:  I've got a 650 myself; but we reload pistol calibers on it... I would look and see if the the "fallover" cases tend to happen when the case hopper doesnt have several cases in it... My guess is that the cases are bouncing a bit when they hit the "station 1 locator"... I think they may be bouncin up a bit when they fall initially; and one edge of the round is not engaging the groove that sends it down to the first station...I would try to keep the case feeder almost full if i could...   Bear in mind that this is a genuine "wild guess"; but it would start there...    The biggest problem (...and complaint...) i have with the dillon stuff is the powder measure adjustment; but i think that it is just the nature of the beast... They are meant to load ammo on; which they do very well; they dont like to be continually fiddled with... Ya need to settle on a load and stay at that powder adjustment....   Hope this helps... leroy

It's hard ta keep people from being what they are... If they are overbearing and unreasonable and are in a place where they exercise a bit of it publically; it will come out  pretty quickly... It's sad that in the season of kindness and brotherly love that more aren't; but that it the way of things....   leroy

I think Dolomite's answer is the best one... We used to shoot lots of semi-benchrest center fire 22's... 222 remington and later 223... This is what we used on the barrels: http://www.brownells.com/gun-cleaning-chemicals/solvents-degreasers/bore-cleaning-paste/j-b-reg-bore-bright-prod1161.aspx   The old timers liked it a lot...   leroy

The now deceased Nelson Mandela, the ANC and the present government of South Africa are far from being fair, honest, or kind... They are, in fact, murderous, corrupt and  brutally unkind...  The white apartied government of South Africa on it's worst days was never as corrupt or brutal as what they have now; the only difference is that now, their oppressors are black....   South Africa will straighten up its problems when the people of south africa get rid of the demagogues, rogues, and psychopaths who are systematically deceiving, murdering, oppressing and leading its citizens around like children...When the black south africans decide that their white neighbors are not the enemy and realize that the present apparatchiks of government are responsible for their plight; and when they actually take some steps to clean that problem up; they will make some real progress toward rebuilding south africa...   I liken the problem in south africa to the problem here in the good ole usa in lots of locations; principally in the crime ridden, ratty bluer big cities where machine politics rule and the citizens are voluntary serfs... The south africans are more "real" serfs than they are citizens and free men... The difference is that in south africa they are using police power and the bayonet to keep them that way....The truth is that white folks aint doin this; black demagogues and would-be dictators are doin it... There is simply no way ya can pin the present problems in south africa on "whitey"...Black majority rule and "one man one vote" has been in place in south africa for over 23 years (...since the early nineties, i think...)...   I dont think we can learn a dammed thing about race relations, how to run government, or how to get along together as fellow citizens from thugs like those currently running south africa or zimbabwe other than how not to do it...   leroy

I'll second what jcj said... We bought a nikon DSLR from them... Works like a charm; and wuz a good deal to boot....   leroy

All:   Please take the time to take a look at this: http://www.bizpacreview.com/2013/12/11/colleges-cant-ban-guns-rules-florida-court-in-major-2nd-amendment-victory-88805   Very interesting, indeed... I've been waiting for someone with some sense to rule on this...   leroy

As i remember, the 8 mm 06 wuz (...as others have pointed out above...) a "poor boy" answer to a good hunting rifle that wuz thought to be powerful enough for the "big deer" like moose and elk; even the big bears... The 8 mm 06 wuz a "poor boy" 35 whelen... The whelen wuz thought to be in those days a great "mid-bore" big animal rifle cartridge (...and it is...). Think of todays 338 magnum -- note the infintesimal difference between the .338, .323, and .358 bore diameter.... Interestin aint it?   There were evidently plenty of 8 mm mausers layin around that had come from the great wars...   In the "old days" there were many wizened gunsmiths and wildcatters that thought the 30-06 was about the ultimate cartridge (...i happen to think they were right...)... There was plenty of brass and the whelen wuz popular for "big" big game hunting; and there were many innovative wildcatters around in those days.... The "ultimate mid bore" rifle cartridge (....the 375 H & H is...) wuz out of reach for most ordinary hunters and wuz based on an extra long action that has always brought a premium; plus the actions were hard to find... Contrast that with the plentiful availability of the old 8 mm mausers... Plus they were relatively cheap... That made great fodder for all kinds of conversions... The mauser wuz a standard (...long...) action sized in the 30-06 range...  That translated into a "reasonable" priced action to convert to your favorite rifle caliber plus plenty of surplus brass layin around...That meant that everybody could own his own "custom" mid bore rifle with a relatively small cash outlay... A helluva idea...   To let ya know that there is nothin new under the sun; remington brought out an 8 mm magnum several years ago...It wuz based on the 300/338 winchester case... I dont know if they still make 'em today...   leroy

Always remember this:   Everyone is a mixture of good and bad traits and pasts... I'm no Nelson Mandela fan; because of several things...   First, Mandela was, at the minimum, a socialist... I dont like 'em... period; but that's just me.... Secondly, Mandela has blood on his hands, no matter what people say... His actions incited bloodshead on both sides (...black and white...)... His wife, Winnie, was in fact the head of a shadow hit group that wantonly murdered opposition apparatchiks on both sides of the color spectrum...Mandela had to know about that...   Mandela's positive traits are notable as well; but the in no way (...in my opinion...) rise to the negative ones... Nelson Mandela had the bearing and the self control of a great man...That, alone, made his a giant to many; but those traits in no way can be used to ignore the darker ones and the carnage and destruction that it brought to south africa...   Take the time to read Newt Gingrich's statement concerning Mandela... Nelson Mandela was, in fact, unjustly imprisoned and persecuted and he endured that persecution, heinous as it was, with great dignity... Those actions won him the respect of many in the western world... He was seen by both black south africans and the rest of the western world as the "George Washington" of south africa.... The apartheid government was seen as being worse than satan himself....   As heinous as the aparthied "status quo" was in South Africa; it kept the country relatively prosperous and on a pretty even keel... Mandela's presidency and the "black majority rule" has brought nothing to South Africa except a downward economic spiral and lawlessness... The poor blacks that worked the diamond and gold mines are still poor and oppressed... Those who run the diamond and gold mines are still fabulously rich...   The sad news is that there is rampant lawlessness and political corruption in South Africa that simply wasnt there with white minority rule... The citizens, both old (...white...) and new (...black...) have traded the rule of law for corruption and murder on a vast scale... There is no escaping it...   Take the time to do a google search and you will learn that 30 or so striking black miners where shot dead by black South African policemen in a strike confrontation a few months ago...Their working conditions and lot in life is no better, some thirty years later, than they were under the white apartheid government...The difference is simply the color of their oppressors in government are now black....  Look a bit farther and you will learn that the white Afrikaaners and british landowners (...farmers...) are being systematically murdered in the most heinous ways by roving bands of black thugs "settling scores"; and their property is being confiscated by the present government... The women are being raped and dismembered and the men (...mostly old...) are being killed in the most heinous of ways... Not one of these murders has been solved; and many folks in all parts of the world believe that these "roving bands of murders", in fact, have the tacit approval of the government in this "ethnic cleansing" of south africa...   Nelson Mandela; that grandfatherly old Cheshire Cat smiling "Father of South Africa" is, in fact, responsible for this carnage and murder... That simply cant be denied... Having said all that; he has some other accomplices... They are the overbearing busybodies who ran the governments of the United States, Britain, and some lesser luminaries on the european continent... I well remember when we here in the united states obsessed with the rest of the world in pressuring the south african government into this "black rule" thing... The results were predictable and were foretold... As heinous as the apartied thing was in south africa; what they have now is just as bad; if not worse...   It's bad because those who were 'liberated" had no notion of liberty and responsibility in government... They were simply unequipped to govern themselves... They, in fact, proved the "white man's burden" thing that the british used to talk about... They were cursed with an army of political opportunists and demagogues that have made things worse for everyone in south africa; no matter whether white or black...   Nelson Mandela, along with the busybodies of the western world are directly responsible for this dismantling of a very prosperous country... I simply dont know whether the oppression of apartheid is any different from this new misery of the black working class and murder of the white minority in south africa.... The affluent, nosy, smartest guy in the room, sanctimonious, busybodies of the west have to bow down to the greatness and honor Nelson Mandela; they made him ... They have to to continue the myth that somehow they advanced freedom for the people of south africa; when the plain truth is that they have done just the opposite...   Ill grant that Nelson Mandela may have started his notable, world changing adventure with the best and purest of intentions... They simply didnt turn out well for anyone...   Ill end this little essay with a sobering observation... What happened (...and is happening...) in south africa is seen by some of this administration's operatives as a perfectly acceptable solution to "white rule" in this very country... It is my belief that this fact is the very reason for the notable absence of prosecution of black on white crime in of the bluer areas of this country... Thankfully the population ratios here are considerably different from south africa...   Elections mean things; if ya like the south african model, vote for more Barak Obamas; if ya dont like it; vote for someone else....   rememberin leroy

Ya aint a racist brother; your are a realist.... 98% of the time ya would be right... Nobody bats 980 in the big leagues...   Keep up the good work, leroy

We should never be suprized when the "political class" does bad (...even heinous...) things... We should be suprized when they are actually punished for it... Havin said all that; we have the "presumption of innocence" thing until proven otherwise....   watchin leroy

I'll add my "amen" to the RCBS rockchucker stuff... Ive used one for a bunch of years... They are a great press... We've got dies of all flavors; they are all good....
