I read an interesting website about this. IIRC, we all have differing rods/cones in our eyes. Some people can see greens the best and some can see reds the best. In other words by arranging the colored tiles in the test below from one color to another (the end colors vary to test several colors) they can tell you what colors YOU can see the best. http://www.colblindor.com/color-arrangement-test/

Assuming it's the same for long guns...I have a handguns w/ each of the colors mentioned. I like the red or orange best for outdoor shooting and the green for indoor shooting. The white sights are my least favorite...indoors I can only see the outline and outdoors they get lost in the bright light. I think the basecoat is the key. It really makes a huge difference, IMO.

I'd love to, but furnaces, hot july days, and fat guys don't mix. Sign me up for one in February, LOL.

In the one about the barcode/implant concept did you read that silly crap about weapon systems detecting who they shoot? OMG, reall? The one about face detectors in bars was interesting...no more lying to the wife about working late. She can see you swilling beer at the bar, LOL.

That's how I roll!

I've always thought "virgin" wool was overrated anyway. Give me "just experienced enough to know what fun is" wool any day.

I can't believe some of the comments either. Why do people have so much trouble seeing the evil demonstrated by their actions? I couldn't call someone "good" who could beat and rob an old man like they did. Watch how fast I distance myself from anyone I know who does something this bad. I sure won't go online and defend them just b/c the side of them I knew was different. It'd be clear I didn't know them very well.

That's what I'm talkin about!

Reminds me of the old joke: Why do Scottish men wear kilts? Because a sheep can hear a zipper from a mile away.

I'll be darn, I just Googled it and it seems there are only a couple of major handcuff makers and the keys all look alike.

Huh, huh, huh...You said penetration

I've used their range, but that's about all. Lately, they're sounding kinda shady: I like Reloaders Bench and Outpost Armory best myself.

Imagine what the Thomas Jeffersons and John Adams of the late 1700's would think of the 3-ring circus in DC. They envisioned gentleman farmers going to the capital and doing their duty for a term or 2 for the benefit of the country. The burdeon of leadership would make going back home to make money and be with family a sweet relief. Don't trust anyone with aspirations of a life of politics!!! We need term limits in Congress!!

Somebody slap some edu-ma-cation on me here. Let's say, for the sake of argument, it is legal for a civie to have a handcuff key here in TN. 1) If I'm ever handcuffed, it'll be by an LEO for something they think I did or something I didn't mean to do. I'd suspect I'd make it worse using a hidden key to relieve myself of my restraints. When will I ever need one, then? 2) I don't know enough about handcuffs (thankfully, I've never had chance to wear any). Do they all use the same key? If so, that doesn't sound very smart.

I've avoided 40's so far. I have 45s and 9mms mostly. I've been tempted to try a 40, though. If I do, it'll be a CZ.

I have no doubt whatsoever that Beltman's belts are premium gear and probably worth it. However, I'm a hopelessly cheap shopper and found this site. I bought a brown one and a black one 2 years ago and I defy you to tell them from brand new. They are extremely thick and rugged with great buckles. You truly can't beat them for $32. http://www.hanksclothing.com/amish_belts_black_buy.html

Anyone know how to unsubscribe from a thread?

They are not hollow base, unfortunately. I asked the guy if he had a set of calipers I could use, but didn't. I knew I should have stashed an extra in my emergency bag in the trunk. He took one out of the box and walked over to the bin and held it up beside a 185 gr JHP and said it looks about right to him. I wish my eyes were sharp enough to detect 2 thousandths of an inch difference b/w to bullets of different shapes...I'd be a helluva lot better shot. Nice guy, don't get me wrong...but that was just silly.

I'd buy a refurbed 40 gb WD on NewEgg for $20 shipped. It has a 30 day warranty, but if it doesn't fail in the first month it'll probably be fine anyway.

Guys, the match was great! I can't say enough about how smooth it all was today. Y'all rock!

I found a deal at a local reloading shop today that was too good to be true on 200 gr LSWC today, $37.99/500. So, I bought 3 boxes. Got em home and grabbed the calipers. Turns out they're only .450! My barrel slugged at .451, so I have to take em back. That sucks.

You prefer the term "poop chute" or "corn hole"?

I didn't think I could laugh harder than I did at the anus lube zombie/raptor reach-around rape fest...then I actually listened to the lyrics.

I've enjoyed doing business with David on a couple ocassions too. He's a straight shooter and a fair man. That pup he totes everywhere he goes is a decent fellow too. Stopped @ A-H Reloading to look around. Found 500 200gr LSWC for only $37.99!!!! Got em home and they only measure .450 That sucks, long drive to return them.

Yeah, found that out the hard way when I first started. Luckily, it was only 50 rounds to pull apart. The test rounds I loaded last week were done in even smaller batches (6 or less). Since I know all the 200gr swc functioned/shot well enough, that's what I'm buying. I need to reload/test enough to see whether I get excessive leading, but have no clue how many it'd take.
