Just learning how to post Quickload data for when I start development of 8mm-06 Ackley Improved loads.

The officer does not have to show for the initial hearing. Only if you plead not guilty at that hearing and it goes for trial in front of the judge. If he doesn't show then, it is dismissed.

Attachment test.

That's what I was referring to. It's been so long I forgot the term.

I often wonder about the guys that use all the "scent blocking" tech while gun hunting W/a smelly gun.

The "surcharge" from the state kicks in after so many points. I got a ticket for 73 in a 55 (testing the tune on my '06 Charger Daytona) & that was enough all by itself to get the surcharge of $200. The state will usually allow$100 payments once a year until the amount is paid, but I'm not sure about a $600 charge. He must have been speeding way over the limit ti get that high of a surcharge..

After verifying the zero before hunting season, I do not clean the bores of my rifles. A clean bore can shoot to a different POI than a fouled bore, sometimes as much as an inch or more @ 100yds. After the season I run a dry patch through the bore, then I use "Wipeout" until all copper is removed, usual 2 or 3 applications will get it all.. No scrubbing, just plug the chamber W/a patch, spray into the muzzle for about 1 second & keep the nozzle tight against the muzzle until the foam expands, filling the bore. Let it set for an hour or so & wipe the bore W/a patch. Re[peat until no more blue comes out on the patch. After that I oil the bore W/G-96 gun treatment & put them away.

When I shoot for load development & group size, I let the fore-end float on the front bag & use both arms in a cradle to pull the stock into my shoulder. When I sight in, I hold the fore-end & rest my hand on the front bag.

I think that if you did strap it in your results might be far different.

I've used THESE in the past. They work great. They amplify the sounds of the woods yet suppress the muzzle blast. You can here a twig snap a long way off on a quiet evening. They are basically the same as my mother's $3000 custom molded hearing aids except for the suppression feature & they come W/3 sizes of silicone plugs instead of the custom molding. Same volume control on/off switch & battery tray as her high $$$$ custom fit hearing aids. I even used them when shooting tarp/skeet/sporting clays. I lost one after several years of use.

Melanistic piebald?

That is the best one!

Go to Steamtown USA in Scranton & you can ride in the cab of a steam locomotive as they do a little jaunt through Scranton. I did it a few years ago & it was amazing what goes on in that cab.

If you have DirecTV, it's channel 345. RFDTV.

Do you watch "trains & Locomotives" on RFD network? I can sit & watch steam locomotives run for hours.

Give the Republicans time, they'll get around to blaming him.

And what about the last 5 years? If you were trying to make a point you failed.

If he did ask for it, do you think the conserve-a-turds in congress would approve? Besides, the rails aren't publicly owned like the roads. Just one more example of how privatizing isn't necessarily the best way to run & maintain large infrastructure systems. In most other countries, their vastly superior (to ours) rail systems are the product of "socialism".

Fast trains would use improved rail technology.

Good catch, that was a typo. It should have read 3.385" I sent a dummy round (no powder/primer) that was to be used to gauge the depth of the throat where the the bullet of the dummy round contacts the lands of the rifling. The COAL (Cartridge Over All Length) was 3.388". The "live round" would be a complete loaded cartridge. The length would be shortened to allow a minimal amount of clearance between the ogive (curved portion of the nose) of the bullet. In this case, a 3.385" long COAL of the "live round" would have .003" clearance. That distance is called "freebore". The less distance between the bullet & the rifle lands, the more potential accuracy. The 180gr .323 Ballistic Tips don't seem to be as accurate as the less pointed 200gr Hotcore bulltes. Normally I try for about .010" to .015" which works well in most cases. One doesn't want the bullets jammed into the rifling as it could lead to a bullet being pulled from the case when an unfired round was extracted. Although that is not likely, it is a possibility that should be avoided.

Finally got all the details worked out on the bottom metal & shipped the barreled action to Dennis Olson yesterday. I was able to open up the internal magazine length to 3.42" W/nothing more than some judicious work W/the "German mill". (safe file) I can now load the long pointed Nosler 180gr Ballistics Tips out far enough to be just shy of touching the lands of the rifling. I'll still be able to seat 200gr Speer Hotcores W/O pushng them too far into the case at 3.295" COAL. I sent dummy rounds W/the 180gr BT seated to 3.388" COAL W/instructions to ream the throat so that the ogive was touching the lands.. I should be able to shoot a 3.85" live round W/the BTs & a 2.95" COAL for the 200gr Hotcores. I really hope to get < 1 MOA accuracy out of the 180s as they are more suited to deer & the longer COAL makes them more viable than W/the shorter 8X57. While the 8X57 benefits from the increased muzzle energy of the 200s (3300'#) the 8mm-06 A.I. can still generate over 3700'# W/the 180s. (nearly 1000'# more energy than factory 30-06 180gr loads) I used the 180BTs in the earlier rendition of the 8mm-06 A.I. back in 2000, but accuracy was dicey W/the barrel I had at the time. When deer weer hit cleanly broadside or quartering away through the chest, the 180BTs sucked the lungs right out of them. Of course the 200s W/3800'# of energy would handle anything that walks on the continent W/power to spare. I should be getting the action back in a week or so & hopefully my Norma MRP will arrive soon so I can get some loads cooked up when the weather breaks.

I bought a Kales 3-9X42 "American" from Cabelas back in 2000. At $500, not all that expensive given the optical quality. Really good at picking up detail in low light.

Kales is right there to. Oldest continuously operating optics manufacturer in the world, since 1898. They also introduced the 1st commercially successful variable power scopes.

What is the case neck diameter of your loaded rounds? It is possible that the cases are too thick at the necks. That can raise pressure and might lead to stretching the brass.
