beat me to it I was just about to type a smart arse reply about liping them

one thing the wife and I always do also is tip in cash even when paying the bill by card. We use our atm/debit card for everything usually little cash on us but if we go out to eat we always make sure we have bills to leave a tip. I don't like leaving it on the card because I don't trust owners that they will put that into the servers check or how ever that whole system works.

Why couldn't you have posted this one sooner! The Sgt Major of the army was here yesterday some guys had dinner with him and he came around to all the towers and posts to inspect them. I could a tweaked it from marine to army when he came by my post yesterday. Except SMA Chandler isn't serious he was actually really laid back other then he despises tattoo's visible in uniform.

all this talk and now I want a pizza!!!!

2 dollars extra is cheap all the 4 pizza places by me all charge 4-7 extra! and I know the scum bag owners to all 4 places I know that "Delivery Fee" doesn't go to the drivers so I still tip but its also one of the reasons why I will just pick it up my self because my favorite place charges 5.99 for delivery and my wife's favorite place charges 7.50 so its cheaper for me to drive the 4 miles if that into town and pick it up my self many times I'm still left waiting at the shop. Now I'm with Rockchalk with chasing waiters or waitresses down. If I'm stuck waiting for refills or something I asked for they get usually 1-2 dollars I never stiff them completely but where I normally would leave like 5-15 depending on the order they get 1-2 dollars tops iv been known to take a pen or marker and write "TIP" across the bill if it was really bad service so they kinda get the hint.

that sucks man I always give a tip even if it was slow 9 out a 10 times it probably wasn't at fault of the driver or waitress/waiter. If the waiter is rude or very forget full I cut the tip down but always leave at least something. Pizza guys usually get 5 regardless of the order or if its dead of winter and snow storm I usually bump to 10 I rarely have it delivered though I live 3 miles from the only 4 pizza places in my area so I usually pick up but if the kids are in bed or in PJ's I have it delivered. Now if I get a discount I usually give the money saved as a tip Iv gotten a lot of free food eating out in uniform so its my way of thanking them for thanking me with free food.

that sucks hopefully you find out who did it I cant stand when people do that crap. I'v had my car keyed right after a fresh paint job also I had saved up for 6 months to have done took it to a car show and some one keyed the heck out of it several passes.

molly will pit in high moisture environment from what I have read in the past I keep a few silica packs from all the d**n shoes my wife and kids go threw in with my guns

I'm not sure the barrel Dia. its a Marlin XS7 .243 before the Remington merger. Im picking up a .17 def that will def be a bull barrel and iv been eye balling a X7VH 308 which is also a heavy bull barrel I will be loading for them as well but the 308 wont be for some time the 17 I'm hoping to have ordered before Christmas. My nephew has mentioned reloading for his .223 but i told him its not worth it because his cheap silver bear at $5 a box is a tack driver out of his rifle so what if it doesn't make mist like mine does lol.

I shoot moly now but never compared it to non moly bullets out of the .243. even for shooting moly now my barrel gets HOT by the time i fire my 5th round out of it you cant touch the barrel but I'm shooting 58gr superformance which is a fast round for my sporter .243 barrel. I was looking up some loads and bullets today i may move up to likr 75-90gr vmax or like bullets though I love the splat you get with them 58gr on farm land vermin id post pics but there kinda graphic ground hogs with holes the size of a orange punched threw them if not just strings of blood and guts.

thanks for all the info I'v been looking on midways site and Natchez I'v done alot of business with both stores in the past I like the sounds of the Hornady Lock-N-Load kit (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/749997/hornady-lock-n-load-classic-single-stage-press-kit) looks like all I would need to buy is dies and a case trimmer correct? It also comes with 500 free bullets which is a nice bonus. I was also liking the RCBS kit because you can upgrade it to a progressive press if needed. I don't know if I would ever need the out put of a Progressive all my rifles are bolt guns and the .357max is my father in laws its a single shot TC contender pistol. He has everything for the pistol but it has the scoop type powder measures. He also has a set of dies that you don't put in a press you do it all by hand and use a hammer its a pretty cool concept I played around with it just loading some regular 357 mag ammo with no charge. Like I said I have a bit of brass all fired from my rifle its like 6 boxes of Hornady brass and I think I have 1 box of Remington brass also fired from my rifle. Do I need a tumbler or anything for the brass really or just clean up the pockets and go. I'm not looking for "match" results as long as I can repeat factory ammo which already shoots good out of my rifle the only difference would be the moly the factory ammo I shoot is moly coated idk if I wanna mess with coating all my bullets might just run them like 99% of the ammo out there I don't see a real need for the moly in my case. When I get a better rifle or better at reloading and a good grasp on it then I will worry bout fine tuning a sweet load.

ha yeah right

Not that it matters for me really I get it for free but the wife has to pay so I guess it still means I pay for a license also....

Did they jack the price again this year?

cool thanks guys I'v been contemplating just getting a new kit the stuff I have is my F-I-Ls old stuff its all there minus a powder scale. Iv been thinking bout just getting a new kit that's more up to date like with a quick change bushing since I will be doing more calibers as I buy more rifles and pistols eventually. I like the RCBS presses there decently priced Lee is the cheapest. I have calipers also from my days building engines. I have no semi auto's iv been anti semi auto for a while though I want to pick up a ar or ak but ammo is cheap enough I wouldn't reload for them its that .243 at $25 a box of 20 that lasts an hour on a good day of ground hog blasting that's killing me and the .17 i have my eyes on isn't any better.

well I only have 1 .243 I'm mostly just looking to save money on factory ammo I have all Hornady brass for the .243 all fired from my rifle 120 pieces of brass all Hornady. For right now I will just be making 1 round I don't want to go crazy probably just remake my own 58gr superformance ammo. The 357max my FIL has all his old load data from his reloads hes just to lazy to do it so I told him I would do it so he can keep hunting with it because every fall we here the sob story of how he misses his 357max ammo and how he has to use regular mag ammo because he cant find max any where.

happy b day!

I'm starting to stock up on some reloading equipment so I can start when i get back but I have a question on dies. I'm gonna be reloading .243 and .357Maximum for sure then .17 hornet or Remington shortly after. Now I have the dies set for the 357 already but my question comes when looking at the .17 and .243 dies the .243 comes in a 3 die set that has the neck sizer included but the 17 has a 2 die set with no neck sizer then a 2 die set with the neck sizer and bullet seater while the other one is a sizer die and seater die. Now for the 17 do I need both sets of dies or are they the same thing is the "sizer" die in the one set the same as a neck sizer or is it referring to a full length sizer. I'm looking at the Lee sets as its a lee press I have. I'v never reloaded its something I'm picking up for my self and to get some loads worked up for my father in laws TC Contender in .357 Max since you cant buy factory ammo for it.

or a frying pan................... I too have been tazed both by the hand held type and the ones the cops use. Personally I like it but I'm crazy lol after getting shot with the one I put one probe in my shoe held the other in my hand did some daisy chains with a group of us liked together with the 2 end guys holding the probes. Been sprayed as well with over the counter stuff(drunk prank) and the stuff used my the military and police in all kinds of forms as part of a less lethal class they all suck.

I'v had some comical catches in the past especially as a kid wading the rivers in my back yard. My most recent one was probably 2 years ago fishing the pond in front of the school I worked at. One of the buses had been late so all the kids were waiting out front and a few of mine came over to talk to me while I fished. I got a hit and when I set the hook the anti reverse or something went in my reel and I set the hook basically in free spool complete mess. Well I still managed to land the fish after slipping in the mud doing a split almost holding onto a branch with one hand biting my line then pulling swinging the rod with my free hand then bite more line and repeat. It was only like a 14" bass but I got em the kids thought it was the funniest and craziest thing they had ever seen. How I didn't loose the fish I have no clue it wasn't hooked the greatest and it was on a finesse war eagle spinner.

congrats!
