    I check each reloading session with check weights but also use a digital scale to cross check each scale. I adjust with the foot but there may be a couple bbs under the pan.

    Banquet guns

    Banquet organizing is a great example of human nature dealing with complex situations. Many people will vociferously express their wisdom about what should be done at a banquet. Believing a single silver bullet idea is all that is needed to make a banquet a success. When in fact what holds a...

    Banquet guns

    I have chaired a couple and attended several dozen banquets. It is a complex formula to maximize the return. certainly, higher end guns bring greater interest from the high spenders but as the value goes up the number of high rollers goes down, exponentially. Some people go just for the tri-tip...

    A little humour for your day

    I am loathe to ask a question in the meme thread but does the “don’t ask” refer to not asking for parts or not asking for an explanation of where the 1 million parts went?

    Knives

    I carry a Newberg gerber that I have replacement blades for. I carried my deceased father’s buck 118 for years until I lost it one trip. Since then I have resolved to take only knives that I wouldn’t regret loosing.

    Reloading question need advice

    Mr. Barsness wrote “exactly. I usually run new brass over the expander ball to make neck tension uniform, then load it and go shooting. With new brass this doesn't require any lube. There are two potential downsides to FL resizing new brass. First, in standard dies the neck can be pulled out...

    Reloading question need advice

    Like everything on the internet- lots of opinions... I do not full length resize new brass. But I also start with a dummy round for first case and check to see if it chambers. I also have a neck die that uniforms the necks to take the bullet. I remembered a post on 24 campfire by writer John...

    Warmth hiking layer sub zero

    I was rethinking my active hiking layers and I am looking at what you mentioned. There is a video review here on hunt talk comparing the Jetstream the kuiu pro jacket and the Orvis. I think a soft shell with fleece might lower my bottom range. I use timberline pants with Patagonia long underwear...

    Warmth hiking layer sub zero

    Let me step back and expose my layering. 1.Base- Patagonia mid weight, I use the mid weight to avoid sweat but still give comfort. Warmer hunts I go up to light weight but for colder hunts and moving I still use mid. Heavy was most often too sweaty. 2. I use an alpaca sweater layer that gives...

    Warmth hiking layer sub zero

    It was -8 when I went hunting this morning. Didn’t get to hunt last fall because of work obligations. My five layers worked well at zero degrees but I have been wanting to add a puffy/ synthetic as a layer. Anyone have a good warmth layer? Puffy like or synthetic?
