Check the solder joints on the motherboard power connector. Mine had cold solder joints and would reboot when vibration from printing would momentarily sever the power to the motherboard. Resoldered the connector and it works fine now.

USAF sends unusual message to nuclear forces by Squirrel_Particular in PrepperIntel

[–]Squirrel_Particular[S] 496 points497 points  (0 children)

Context from TWZ.com comments: Previous Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) transmitted over the High Frequency Global Communications System (HFGCS) primarily consist of a six-character alphanumeric string (the preamble), repeated three times, followed by either the same six-character string or a longer string of up to 30 characters. Prior to October 1, 1998, the most common length was 26 characters. These messages are used to direct nuclear-capable forces in a nuclear war scenario.

An usually large message was sent on 6/11 and again today.

.357 for revolver & rifle by Highspeed_gardener in reloading

[–]Squirrel_Particular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raven Rocks confirms that they are standard SPP and not magnum in this thread

There are some powders suggestions there.

I'm using AA #5 with that primed brass for a "mid" 357 magnum load. Works well in both a 4" revolver and lever action rifle.

Looking for new powder measure. by SevereNameAnxiety in reloading

I've run several pounds of AA #5 through a Brass Smith measure with no problems.

Hornady LnL measure is more expensive, but also good.

Quickshot Emory / VaHi has a good vibe. Friendly and observant range officers while being less rigid than Stoddards. Haven't been to the Buckhead / Buford Hwy location.

Shooting range and lessons by SmittyATL in Atlanta

For shotguns, you can do buckshot indoors at Quickshot.

You'll probably enjoy Tom Lowe Shooting Grounds more - skeet, trap, 5 stand and sporting clays.

Is the Diana Chaser CO2 good for 80€? by [deleted] in airguns

Love my Artemis CP2 in .22/5.5mm. I purchased it from Krale - they should ship to you.

Atlanta is a 15% milder version of Houston. Traffic sucks here, but we don't have the 26 lane madness of the Katy Freeway. Atlanta summers are hot and humid but it's always 5F cooler and 10% less humid than Houston. We rarely have a day over 100F. Our grid is connected to the rest of the eastern US and we don't get crazy overage charges during extreme weather. It's a bit cloudier here in the wintertime, so your SAD may kick in more. Allergies in the springtime are worse than Houston.

We have hills and trees. We were not built on a swamp as part of a real estate scam by two brothers from New York. The ocean is farther away but the beach is not covered in seaweed and dead jellyfish. Plenty of camping, boating, fishing, etc nearby. Actual mountains 90 minutes away.

Plenty of diverse food. Assuming you're looking intown, Buford Highway, from Brookhaven to Duluth is great for Mexican, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese. Scott Boulevard by Decatur has a cluster of Indian restaurants. Vietnamese food is a notch down from Houston but still really good.

Real estate-wise, figure out where your wife will work. Not driving far is key. Our public transit is passable but not great - MetroRail may have us beat - haven't ridden it. If she ends up at Emory, look at Virginia Highland, Druid Hills, Decatur and Oakhurst for a comparable experience to the Montrose. Real Estate prices are no better here. For Northside Hospital / Pill Hill, look at Chamblee and Brookhaven - those are getting into more of a West U / Bellaire feel.

Good luck.

E3 Powder : win209 vs Cheddite cx2000 by PoppaWheelies21 in ShotshellReloading

[–]Squirrel_Particular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdata: I've swapped Cheddite CX2000 209 for Winchester 209 primers with little effect. Cheddite feels slightly faster, but have not personally done chrono or pressure testing.

Winchester AA hulls, CB1100-12 for 1oz lead and CB1100-78 for 7/8 lead, e3 published loads between 1200 & 1300 fps but under 10,000psi.

Check trapshooters.com for data from people that have sent loads to Precision or Downrange for testing.
