DeanD's test thread~!

[Artful]

I'll one up you.:mrgreen:
1001 !
[smilie=w:

[fryboy]

odd that indeed your post is 1001 yet the post count when i clicked on the thread is/was 1000 ....

[nanuk]

perhaps it was the "REPLY" count, cause fryboy's is 1002 post, but 1001 reply.....

anyways, 1003?

[Moonie]

So this is where this thing ended up...odd

That's o.k.


It shows that we have some humor amongst us.

[375RUGER]

the one in the toque and double breasted jacket. Can't be the other one or this thread would be dead :cry:

[Roosters]

Don’t believe ever run across a test post quite this long . In fact hard to find 1014 replies to anything.

We know, we are kinda strange...[smilie=l:

[375RUGER]

I wonder if Dean's test was successful?

[obssd1958]

I wonder...

If this thread was moved to "Swappin' and Sellin'", would everyone's post count go down????????



:shock:

[Love Life]

Is this where I left my $1,000,000?

:shock:

Shall we try that and see what happens to post counts? [smilie=s:

[Roosters]

I like things that live hard and long. This is #1030 I do think it needs more pictures !!!

[375RUGER]

Shall we try that and see what happens to post counts? [smilie=s:

I don't think you want to do that-check the math(attached), that's bad:twisted: juju

:coffee:

[nanuk]

if post counts go down, does that interfere with one's ability to post there?

[fatnhappy]

This thing has longer legs than Elle McPherson!
I'm not so sure. I'd like to check for myself.

Being that she is Aussie and all, if I had been there, I would have offered her a ride on my dingy, but only cause we are both Aussies. Us Aussies stick together and we look after our own, even the unattractive ones.:mrgreen:

[Southern Son]

I had to stop using that dingy, the Crocodiles kept nibbling on the bits that hung out the bottom of the boat. Although, Elle nibbling, that would be a different thing.

Didn't mean to imply that she is unattractive,
it's just that she was drinkin' up all my

[Roosters]

You guys along the coast with the pretty girls and a dingy have it made. Here in the Appalachian Mountains all we hav to look at are Hillbillies. :-(

Roosters, stop complainin' & go get ya some NEW GLASSES!

Now Squib I didn’t say Hillbillies were ugly . I just said that’s all we have to look at….lol :D

I notice she keeps her mouth closed when she smiles. Does she have all her teeth? That might be a deal breaker. ;)

Don't knock removable teeth, they can be a plus. J

I think that you should have included a Monty Python photo with that quote.


P.S. If it took you longer to read this than normal, it is because I jammed my finger in a door and broke it, so this took me ages to type.

[waksupi]

I am bringing this back, as there is absolutely no demand for it, no real conceivable use, and it is really annoying! Thanks for the thread, DeanD!

[btroj]

Another Zombie thread? It will never die, can't get lead with Doe Run closing and all.....

[Dean D.]

Doe Runs? We don' need no steenkin Doe Runs!

[Trey45]

Feed exlax to deer = doe runs.

[waksupi]

It was too young to die!

[tommag]

I'm sure glad you brought this thread back, as I must have missed it the first time around. Dean said to ignore this post, and I've gone all this time being unaware of it.
If I had seen it earlier, I could have properly ignored it.

[DeanWinchester]

Wow, I didn't know this thread existed. And now that I do...............

[obssd1958]

Once again -

[obssd1958]

this thread...

[obssd1958]

needs to...

[obssd1958]

be put...

[obssd1958]

under "Swappin'...

[obssd1958]

so folks...

[obssd1958]

can't use it...

[obssd1958]

to pad their...

[obssd1958]

post counts!!!!!!!!!!

[nhrifle]

I just came across this thread and it is truly some of the most profound and intellectually stimulating reading material on this site. Not all of it makes sense (yet, I am aspiring to ascend to a higher plane) but through careful study I will be one with the greatness posted herein.

I do have to ask -- whatever happened to the post hole, was it ever properly used and stored, and where did all the loob grooves go?

[nanuk]

I have been looking for used post holes for a long time now, 'specially after finding them readily available south of the border.... but alas, up here, seems no one wants to part with them.

I would have even paid a "Small" delivery fee.

[nanuk]

Whenever I get to the beach there is never anyone that looks like Elle does in that photo. There are a whole bunch of people that look like that last Lab, though.


drink more beer.....

[gon2shoot]

I wonder if Dean's test was successful?

The test was a success, Dean is still questionable.

I was wondering where this threa err post count padder went.

[oneokie]

Nope, I plead the 5th!

Uhh, pleading the 5th raises even more questions......................

As to the post holes, that was so long ago, the gophers have filled them up. And regarding the loob grooves, our trusted loob groove dealer is still sitting on them, hoping the demand will cause the price to rise. Supply and demand, you know.

[waksupi]

I just couldn't see the newer members not being tortured, er, uh, tutored by this highly informative thread.

[btroj]

And I caught flak over zombies?

[MT Gianni]

Did you guys plead the 5th or run off with it?

[nhrifle]

If Waksupi is currently sitting on a horde of loob grooves that were never delivered in the first place, and considering he demanded payment from another member for delivery of the loob grooves in question, should we not consider charging him with extortion?

It is clearly understood by all customers that the loob grooves are on permanent back order, until a new shipment of empty promises come in.

[Col4570]

Been looking for some Lube grooves for a while,asked my neighbour if he could help.He sent me to the hardwear shop and told me to ask for a Long Weight.Dang if they did,nt keep me waiting for two hours before they told me they where out of stock.This is a very informative site,for instance I had no idea that I could purchase ready made Post holes.Think of the work I will save me.Does anyone know of a Hollow Base manufacturer.

[btroj]

It is clearly understood by all customers that the loob grooves are on permanent back order, until a new shipment of empty promises come in.

Empty promises?

Look at the White House, how many more empty promises do you need? I doubt you have room to store that many.

You can loob groove every boolit on earth. Heck, I will be buying only smooth sided moulds as it will be far easier, and cheaper, to just add your loob grooves to the finished boolit.

Can you provide them pre-filled with a loob of my choice?

[km101]

You guys need to switch to decaf!!!!!

[OBIII]

If you are reading this, shame on you. You obviously jumped to the end, so now you have to start over at post #1.

OB

[runfiverun]

You guys need to switch to decaf!!!!!

OOoohh no, that's how all this got started.

[btroj]

Decaf? Heck, I don't even drink coffee!

[OeldeWolf]

I am waaaaay behind on this. only at post 600. And my head hurts. I am going to go buy a gun, or sumpin.

[Col4570]

I have looked for the Post Hole to click on but cant find it on any of the pages,never was any good at these computer things,unless this is known as the Post hole,me being from another country and all that and not understanding the lingo.By the way what language do you speak over there.

[Col4570]

Thanks a lot,I worked in Merica in 1974 for Six Months.

[gon2shoot]

Just a caution on loob grooves. I hear someone is importing grooves from china and trying to pass them off as originals.

[Col4570]

Do,nt get me wong but are they Horizontal or vertical Lube Grooves suitable for Boxer Rebellion Primers.

[btroj]

I sometimes shoot a rifled musket and use Minies. Does anyone sell grease grooves? Can I just double up on loob grooves and call it good?

[WILCO]

If you are reading this, shame on you. You obviously jumped to the end, so now you have to start over at post #1.

You caught me!

[oldarkie]

yea me to im looking for some pole holes 15"x6ft,hope someone can help.

[MT Gianni]

Due to our local SW Montana Wind I can ship these for little cost to the NE. We rarely have to shovel snow as the wind moves it somewhere else. I am wondering if the lube grooves from shot groups in the Southern Hemisphere can be installed in the Northern hemisphere cartridges to prevent over spinning them. What would be the proper ration? 1-1 or 6-7?

[nhrifle]

That won't work because lube grooves launched south of the border, if installed up here, would cause terrific counter-rotational inertia dampening forces on the projectile with one of two outcomes: either it will nullify the effects of rifling and cause boolits to plummet immediately to Earth, or will achieve negative rotational counter spin and thusly unscrew the barrel from the unsuspecting firearm.

[Col4570]

During my stay in Virginia,I believe there was a thriving mail order industry selling things like Post Holes and Lube grooves to West Virginian residents.

[btroj]

Says the guy in England where they put the grooves on the wrong side of the boolit

[sundog]

England, you say? Not only are the on the wrong side, but they are metric.

[btroj]

Waksupi doesn't carry metric grooves I bet.

He thinks metric is what people say after having coffee with him......

[Col4570]

There was a movement to go over to metric but it was met with opposition so now manufacturers give Imperial and metric sizes.I am 77 and brought up during my apprenticeship on Feet and Inches,Thousands of an Inch,Pounds and Ounces and Drams for my Powder.I still continue to measure in Imperial but do sometimes revert to Metric.During a spell working in the USA it was refreshing to see that you still used the traditional Measurements.
Incidentaly I hope my attempt at Humor regarding West Virginia did.nt offend those who are sensitive.I have fond memories of the hospitality I received during my work from Batton Rouge to Philadephia and places between.

[runfiverun]

I didn't feel a thing...

[Down South]

I missed most of this but this is the best "Test Thread" that I've see so far.

[nanuk]

Waksupi doesn't carry metric grooves I bet.


I've read on here that metric grooves are almost MANDATORY if you want to get any type of high velocity accuracy out of a 6.5x55.

I think the reasoning is, if you are getting 10" groups at 100yds, then switching to a metric grooved boolit will automatically tighten them up to 10mm at 100m

a far better group...

oh, this ONLY applies IF the rifling is also metric... so many turns in a meter!

otherswise you have to move your target closer, using the 100yd mark

[OBIII]

Oh, why not. It's a slow day, let's resurrect another one. :Fire:

OB

[gon2shoot]

Looks like the thread killer had a clean miss on this one.

[bhn22]

He, he. Somebody said "resurrection".

The pastor had called all of the little children to the front of the church, dressed in their cute Easter outfits and had them sit around him. He said "Today is Easter and you all look so handsome and beautiful.Today we're going to talk about the resurrection. Does anyone know what the resurrection is?"
One little boy raised his hand and the pastor said "Please tell us what the resurrection is."
The boy, proud that he knew the answer, stood and said in a clear loud voice "When you get a resurrection lasting more than four hours, you gotta call the doctor!"
It took a solid ten minutes before the pastor could speak and there was so much laughter going on that his sermon was probably forgotten ... but that child's voice won't be.

[nanuk]

got me thinking...

if you have metric grooves, do you need to make your lube using metric measures???

[Dannix]

It's threads like this that remind me of how fast time goes by.

Edit: I.e. wasn't this thread started just last year? Oh, it was in 2010....

[xs11jack]

I think Nanuk is mistaken about the 6.5 x 55 swede, isn't their measuring system based on furlongs per fortnight? I am sure that Grampa Swenson told me that back in 63, that is 1863.

[GaryN]

Hmmmm, I wonder if the thread is tested out yet.

[historicfirearms]

Oh, what the heck. I've seen this thread going for so long, guess I should get on it too.
