Re: Help “balancing” when changing primers

I appreciate everyone’s suggestions and am starting from scratch with the new brass and primers. As I stated initially, I am a relatively novice handloader. My late father in law gave me this rifle and load. He shot a lot of bench rest and prairie dogs (and was a pretty remarkable knife maker on top of that). When he helped me set up my reloading bench, I was not in a position to tell him he was wrong. I’ve loaded what he showed me for 15 years and managed to kill a bunch of whitetail, aoudad, and even 2 once in a lifetime NM animals, an on range oryx in 2010 and a desert bighorn a few years ago. I do know that he “ran his 7-08 hot” per his gunsmith. I haven’t seen any reason to tinker with it, but may reconsider. Thanks for the feedback, I’m hoping to put a few together today and give them a spin.

Re: USPS RANTING!

I mailed an item USPS priority earlier this week. I have an item ordered coming USPS priority. For both of those tracking numbers, when entered on USPS tracking page, the page will never load after either is entered. Have you tried searching the tracking number with whichever search engine you use? More often than not I get a blank page too when tracking on usps.com lately but a search engine seems to at least show something. I haven't. Both of those now show up. I tried it directly from USPS sight and from an emailed link. If it happens again I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Israel should stop when there are no Palestinians left. They are all complicit in electing and supporting a terroristic regime. There is no difference between them and German citizens in Dresden or Japanese in Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki during the 1940s. Thankfully, during WWI and WWII we as a nation didn't wring our hands and fret that we offended our enemies. Nope, we as a country pulled out the stops and happily killed them by the tens of millions until they surrendered.
Israel thankfully will do the same regardless how many feelings they hurt here in the US. God bless their resolve. I agree with you completely. It's too bad so many Americans are so dumb. You two must think you don't pay enough taxes. Put ‘em on IGNORE, Jim!

Re: Gringo Went Surfing in Mexico...

I’d love to visit Mexico, like you did.
Can’t.
It’s gone.
Destroyed by the demand for drugs in our country. Quite true, ironically. Gringos with lots of money buy all the dope Mexico can send across the Rio Bravo. Take away the Gringo dopers and Mexico would be a pretty nice country.

Re: Shimming Ruger Hawkeye bolt

I suppose you mean tightening the bolt in the receiver bore, at the rear bridge. In my view, the best way to do this is by the use of dovetailed inserts in the bolt body. These are then turned to fit the bore of the receiver. I use this system effectively on numerous actions. GD

Re: It's Okay That Meat Has Become Unafordable

Dang
That’s eye opening and very plausible
You could still make a giant Battalion sized casserol dish of 2 boxes of hamburger helper lasagna at the dollar general for $$4 And then a pound of ground chuck runs about $5 a lb, did yesterday evwning (from the Food Lion)
Could serve 5 humans easily with some wanting seconds
Maybe $10 for a fambly meal
Box of cereal is $5 and 1/2 gal of milk is $2.89 here in Ten-O’-Cee Or even cheaper if dumb asses looked up a recipe and sourced the lower cost ingredients themselves. Get the cheaper higher fat ground beef pull off the fat for skillet gravy or scrambled eggs the next morning. People are just friggin stupid how they shop. Most ijits don't shop price per oz/gram/pound/liter.

Welcome to Pa, Kirk.
If you travel west on US 30 or the Turnpike let me know. I’ll buy you a coffee and shake your hand.
I know you and Reon are getting together, holler if he drags you this way. I don’t know where that is… Bedford County Maybe 70 miles west on 30. Walkie Talkies, heck yeah. I’ve contemplated the $$$ value for smart phones in WWII. Google maps alone would have been priceless. Even just a calculator app. Real time communication with GPS? Game changer, bigger than the bomb. That device would have won the war for whoever had it. It’s not sexy, but info wins wars. More than anything. Gene Kranz, Chief Flight Director at NASA, spoke to my company several years ago about the space program in general, Apollo 13 in specific. At one point he held up a cell phone and made the comment that that phone had more computing power than all the equipment at NASA during the Apollo missions, combined. P

Please tell me what the difference is between you and Hitler? Killing innocent women and children is not the answer. Anyone who is advocating for this need to look at themselves real hard. Its pure EVIL

Re: Every had a celleberty entercounter

During high school I parked cars at a couple of fancy restaurants in Ft. Lauderdale so took and handed keys back to several celebrities, including Tonto - Jay Silverheels. His boots actually had silver heels.
A former Miss Tennessee worked as our sales manager at a company in Upstate NY. She was in her mid-late 30's at that time and still gorgeous, but what impressed me was how sharp she was. Very intelligent, well spoken and great with people, not at all like the stereotype of an empty headed beauty queen.
