What’s it worth?
Something catastrophic may be lurking in our not too distant future once electric vehicles become our only mode of transportation after being forced down our throats by our government. Several...
What is this?

My No. 4 bolt does not close completely on a .303 headspace .074 field gauge. The chambers were built overly spacious so that they would not jam when fouled with dirt. The Brits never once...
The bolt won’t fully close on a .074 headspace gauge.
I asked the crimping question here several years ago and nearly all responders said they don’t crimp the necks of reloaded cases. The danger...
I only have one No 4. It headspaces ok to military specs but just barely. I started out resizing the necks only and went FL because the cases I was using became harder to chamber and eject after...
Looking for advice. How many times do you reload your 303 British cases before you scrap them?
Here’s a cool story. Most of you guys know what “jumbo” is. The name refers to the size of a roll of bologna that was a common lunch meat for many years. A 4” wide roll was regular bologna and...
Insurance companies will eventually dictate where a home will or will not be built.
Good post. Agree 100%

Generator, 250 gallon propane tank and the isolation switch.
The Generac transfer switch automatically disconnects and isolates the generator voltage from the power grid while it is running. Many users will simply plug their generators into a 220 volt...
Stand by generators have come a long way. The electrical system at our summer home has always been unreliable. Years ago, the system’s age was the problem. Storms with heavy winds are to blame for...
Thanks.
I thought the reload bullet shortage would have improved by now. Yet, I looked around at all the usual places for .303 British 150 or 174 gr FMJ bullets and see nothing but “out of stock” or “back...
I use Fidelity.
I like Fidelity’s web sight. It’s easy to navigate and understand.
I look back at the 25 years since my early retirement and they’ve been some of my best years. I remember how hard it was in the beginning to adapt to retired life. I didn’t miss the work itself...
Several years ago, I heard an owl calling from a branch of a tall tree in my back yard. Another owl was answering from far away. They kept up the 2-way conversation for about 2 or 3 minutes before...
Bats aren’t the only possibility. Owls are completely silent flyers. Could you have been standing too close to a nest containing the owlets and were given a gentle warning?
I belong to two ranges:
(This one is pretty cheap.) One is near Pittsburgh. I pay $15/year for a senior membership plus $10/year is required to pay for a yearly NRA membership. Pistol and rifle...

I quit in 1964. I was in the USN in Morocco and cigarettes cost 11 cents a pack at the Navy Exchange. We got ration chits that allowed us to buy up to a carton a week. My fear of the health...
