    Does the hot sun down south affect a noticeable number of people in the same way as this gibrony?

    Heavy flight traffic still going on

    Regarding flights here in my section of Maine our traffic is not what you would see in other areas of the country, but in addition to domestic flights the local airport is a hub for overseas flights, a safety landing spot for those in trouble, refueling. etc. Of course those overseas flights...

    This sheltering in place SUCKS!!!

    Perhaps the high voltage power line guys do, but they work their butts off for it. I doubt the local telco linemen do but I've been wrong before. with enough OT it may happen.

    This sheltering in place SUCKS!!!

    Yep its a physical job alright. in college i worked 2 summers for New England Tel and Tel in the cable splicing crew. Long hours, hot, lots of biting bugs but good pay. I enjoyed it. Got pretty good with belt and climbers although our above ground height seldom exceeded 25-30 feet.

    What you gonna do for health insurance? Coverage from the Telco, pay the long dollar for an individual plan or go sans? Remember you don't qualify for medicare, under current rules, till you turn 65. Good luck with whatever you do.

    Berger Hunting Bullets

    I've searched the berger website for info on how their hunting bullets differ from their target bullets. I'm assuming they may have a thicker jacket but also assume they are cup and core with no bonding, internal features to help arrest expansion? Have any of you taken one apart to see. If they...

    irs not a hoax cv19 is a new strain but related to SARS, MERS, etc. it appears to have a higher mortality rate than other strains. the actual number isn't known, but what health organizations are seeing is variable, depending on country, population density, age demographic, robustness of the...

    New (1965)model winchester m70 heavy barrel target still in box

    That's possible. do you have anyway of measuring seated bullet runout? Something is amiss imo if all you can do is 2" on target at 100 yds. My guess is bedding issues or a bum barrel, but the barrel would be my last guess.

    have you tried re-torquing the action screws? Factory or hand loaded ammo? Parts made in Portugal and assembled in the US. Are your scope bases tight and rings properly torqued to the scope? Have you tried a different scope?

    PATRION for Shooters?

    its come about in part because GOOGLE is filtering content and demonetizing content they don't deem appropriate like some firearm related youtube videos. One that I watch on youtube is IN Range TV. They have demonetized all off their youtube videos and are relying on just Patreon for financial...

    Cheap earmuffs

    Nrr interestingly the NRR rating of a muff or plugs is not a direct number reduction. If you are exposed to 100 dB noise a 30 NRR rated muff doesn't reduce the noise to 70 dB. you take the NRR number subtract seven and divide by two. So in the above case the actual reduction is (30 dB - 7)/2 =...

    Unregistered Matches v. Registered Matches

    I'm with you i love to shoot. I get just as much enjoyment out of going to a club .22 RF 100 or 200 yard shoot and exercising a 52 or 37 as I do at CF IBS shoots. I just try to shoot the best I can, the results aren't important other than showing me the I or my equipment or technique needs...

    I got beat up today by a 7mm Mag

    I don't doubt you did! That's a hefty bullet at 7mm Rem Mag velocity. My achilles heal in the rack is a browning safari in .308 Norma with a 180. I feel for you!!
