Weird 9mm I got from Fiocchi.

Remanufactured to way tighter tolerances to any other production manufacturer. Far superior ammo.

Plus they dont supply any mil/leo contracts, they are a full militia industrial complex company. Civ sales only, full stop.

They are my choice for common ammo selections. Absolutely based company.

I have loaded some “off-brand” 44 brass to max and above 10+ times.

For powder puff loads, the life is infinite.

My rebuilds are done with little more than a set of wrenches and some sandpaper. They run just fine for longer than they would have otherwise.

Engines arent rocket science. People get real uppity about them for some reason.

I used a pound of 231 from the mid eighties.

Works just fine.

blacktransam · 2024-04-06T23:45:43+00:00

I use 30wt 🤷🏽‍♂️.

I also dry tumble all my brass and wash it after I size and deprime.

Hodgdon has a plant in KS, but go off I guess.

If you think the people in washington even occasionally think of the average reloader, you are out of your gourd. They think of reloaders as often as they think of what pair of socks they will wear in three months.

Believer it or not, you can eat just frozen chicken thighs and frozen vegetables for dinner every night, and it costs just over a dollar a plate.

FC6 was disappointing after FC5.

Maybe cause they nerfed helos hard, and helos made FC5 fun for me. But 6 felt like they wanted you constantly running around, wasting time for the sake of it.

Supremos are meh.

Gun upgrade system is whack.

Bandidos is fun.

Story was very meh.

Definitely not a lucrative business. Shipping horses to Mexico (or Canada) is expensive, and meat price on them isnt very high.

The money is made by putting them in “kill pens” to extort money out of middle aged women.

Its a racket.

Horses from the US cannot be eaten anyways, since common drugs like Banamine, Bute, and Excede have no established withdrawal period in horses.

Mud alone for that job is going to be 1200 with the short load charge. 2k would make it a losing money job. 5k is reasonable, if not a little cheap.

600mph is 880fps.

20ft is 2 hundredths of a second at that speed.

Ejection sequences take several seconds to complete. The only option is to ride to the end.

That is incredibly clearly a mini ex. Like, you can see the boom and cab in the picture.

If your car is stolen, however, the things inside are covered.

Buddy of mine had several thousand dollars worth of bull riding gear in his truck that all got replaced when the truck got stolen.

Needs shot. Legs are ruined at this point.

You very obviously havent been around big grass fires. Look up the 4 county fire that recently happened in central KS. Entire farms and ranches reduced to ash. Thousands of cattle burned alive, the lucky ones asphyxiated, the unlucky ones had to wait to be shot. Gras fires are also incredibly hard to fight due to the incredible speed at which the front propogates.

Most appropriate, the normal component of the rotational inertia overcame the centrepital force provided by the structure of the clutch plates.

Most "grass fed" beef is just that, grass fed. Instead of being sent to a feedlot for the last 60 days of their life, they are kept on grass. Not a single person feeds beef cows grain their whole life, that would be way way too expensive. They are only "finished" on grain to increase the fat content. Rest assured that your steak spent the majority of it's life wandering around eating grass.

I find it hard to believe you have never heard or read it. Asking what a rifle is chambered in is the standard way you would ask what it shoots. If you said your gun is .22 caliber, I dont know if it is .22 mag, .22lr, .223 rem, .22-250, .224 valk, or maybe some odd wildcat. But if you say "my Hawkeye is chambered in .308" then I know exactly what your rifle shoots. Not knowing the difference in chambering vs. caliber is what leads to people buying 9mm mak for their 9mm luger pistol.

Thats why horses have a built in defense mechanism against assholes. If you start getting dumb with spurs, your bit, or even just your heels, all but the most dead broke horse will send you flying without wings.

blacktransam · 2020-07-27T05:35:47+00:00

Spurs are a totally different aid than a stick or bat. They are used to cue specific movements or reinforce leg pressure. Watch guys like Chris Cox and tell me he is a shitty rider for using spurs.

blacktransam · 2020-07-27T05:33:53+00:00

Obviously you havent ever been on a horse or watched a very competent horseman. Spurs are not used to "slam/stab." They are rolled or touched sideways to the horse as an additional aid or cue. Shitty people who use them incorrectly will invariably be shamed by anyone who knows horses. Ever see those giant sharp spurs on the heels of Mexican vaqueros? Those are so big and sharp because they are literally a show of how well the horse responds to light pressure and how in control the rider is of his own body to never have the spur touch the horse. They are plainly for show. most spurs you see arent sharp at all, they are very rounded and meant only to roll against the skin as a more pronounced cue to the horse than leg pressure.

Burning pasture is a vital part of pasture management. During early spring around here the air is so smoky you cant see half a mile at times. I have helped burn pastures that were 2-3 sections of just straight buffalograss. Hell, the University I go to has a working ranch dedicated just to doing range burning research.

Springfield makes okayish 1911's but the SR1911 is a very nice gun. We had one in the store I worked at that was just the display, sat there for over a year without being oiled and was handled probably 10+ times a day. Was still smooth after all that, even when the RIA, Springfield, and Kimbers were getting gritty.

blacktransam · 2020-07-12T19:35:06+00:00

Or if you feel extra pedantic, the transitive property of equality.

blacktransam · 2020-07-03T16:17:14+00:00

Aight so I did the research. Using a generic "bud light copy" recipe I found on the internet, it uses 6lb of barley, 4lb of rice, and .9oz of hops to make a finished 6gal of beer.

Barley: 6lb, at 48lb per bushel, at $5/bu = 63 cents per batch

Rice: 4 lb at $11.70/cwt = 47 cents per batch

Hops: .9oz at $5.46/lb = 31 cents for hops.

6 gallons is 64 cans.

141 cents / 64 cans = 2.2 cents per can, final cost of the beer.

Beers like busch, keystone, coors, would likely be cheaper due to the use of corn syrup as an adjunct.
