    Why deburr the outside of the neck?

    My #1 reason; I don't know if that little bit of a burr would damage the inside of my seater die, but it's not something I'm eager to find out down the road. A few seconds worth of prevention might save me $40 on a new die a year or two from now. A more uniform crimp from case-to-case never hurt...

    s&w 22a

    Its the one pistol I own that goes to the range every time, no matter what else I'm taking with me. I think I've put more rounds through that one pistol than every other firearm I own combined, and its still accurate enough for the 10" steel 100yd plates at the local range. I would go with the...

    No argument. At the end of the day, I'm just an NCO; my job is to find lots of little solutions to minimize the damage from leaderships bigger badder muck ups.

    Combat Zone Firearms Policy - Its time for a change

    Thats the problem though, it IS an iminnent and everyday threat. This kind of garbage happens every other week to some poor guy who happens to be working with the wrong little group of Haadjis; this is just the most extreme example to be publicized by the media. If its not a soldier getting...

    Combat Zone Firearms Policy - Its time for a change

    http://www.kgun9.com/story/14537138/...anistan-attack Note the second picture on the left. This is how a majority of staff and support personnel in country carry their M9s; in shoulder holsters. Typically with either no round in the chamber, or in this case no magazine in the firearm at all...

    Using Google Maps to find accurate distance between two points.....

    Unfortunately, the distance scales are all standardized based off an ideal satellite orbit altitude. In real life, since the satellites dont necessarilly orbit at the assumed altitude the standardized scales lose their accuracy and can vary from 10s to 100s of feet. That being said, its...

    Top shot show on History

    It started becoming pretty clear by the end that the producers where trying to manufacture a specific winner. Some of the elimination challenges where blatantly in one of the competitors favor, to the point of being unfair for the other. Granted, the show supposedly promotes the most versatile...

    Police, fireman, and ambulances outside of my house

    Guessing a relatively slow night for the cops coupled with some crossed wires in the information department. Whether the person who called wasn't clear enough to the dispatcher, or the dispatcher got his/her codes wrong sounds unclear.

    Rcbs auto primer

    "tactical" electronic hearing protection

    Depending on your unit, they might already have top of the line hearing protection. A couple of the active duty units I've visited, and even one of the guard units I trained with a while back had some top of the line electronic Peltor headsets that where truly awesome. Wouldn't want to have to...

    45-70 and Cast Performance 460gr hard cast

    My search and google skills seem to have failed me on this one, and Cast Performance is taking their time getting back to me. I also posted this on another forum, but no luck. I got a box of these hard cast gas check flat points, but neglected to check my manuals before hand for load data...
