I've been waiting forever for my capsules to arrive so I can steal your ideas (again) and modify them (again). Supposed to come on Tuesday.

Temporarily disable AVG and try it with a known to be safe pic/email. If it works, then you're looking for a setting in AVG. If it doesn't, you'll have to keep looking. Sounds like that's where it...

Very strange. I expected to find the usual in that email. But, no masked links. They actually point to where they say. Address is legit. Security looks legit. Nothing about it is off,...

Are you using cases with a step inside? I never had that problem in my sr9 or glock42. I've shot thousands of that boolit.

They're always going under my siding. I figured that was bad. I'm from the north until the last few years. Some of the creatures here are new to me.
You inspired me to read a little. I've...

I've been thinking about the wear & tear on my brass since you posted this. I got to thinking that rice load doesn't weight much (14.5gn in my load) and there's no recoil. Is wax, glue, crimping,...

I tested some mustard seed. Worked ok, but the pattern opened up a little fast with my revolver. Might work for you, though.

Could try covering it for the first 20 minutes in the oven. The steam keeps the crust from getting tough as fast. It helps with sourdough. I've never made banana bread.

I have a little box that holds 13 .357 mag rounds. It fits perfectly in my watch pocket. Keeps the dirt off and keeps them from mixing with whatever else is in my pockets or getting lost. It's...

I was out behind the garage, feeding the chickens, when I heard it. Faint, at first. Just nudging the edge of my consiousness. As I finished up and shut the coop door the sound came into focus. ...
