    Did something change with Garmin's support?

    Update: I chatted with CS who told me to try the clearing of cookies, etc. I tried a different browser and it worked. Not sure what my problem is with Chrome on Android, but I have other browsers. Garmin CS was very helpful.

    Army Corps says no to massive gold mine proposed near Bristol Bay in Alaska

    So this where the mental-midgets attack the messenger, instead of opening their tiny minds to differing ideas. Sorry kiddy, I don't want to play. Have a nice day!

    A lot of Preservationists have never googled the definition.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Blood is a incompressible liquid. The heart muscle is quite flexible, but only up to rate at which it tears instead of stretching (material limit). When the chamber is full, the displacement of the bullet is transmitted to surrounding muscle tissue at the propagation velocity of blood. This...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    If the chamber is empty when the bullet hits - you get what you posted. If the chamber is full - the heart pops. Little to do with bullet construction.

    Army Corps says no to massive gold mine proposed near Bristol Bay in Alaska

    No, I did not. I lamented the lack of jobs and economic opportunity due to pressure from outside interests. So what was the purpose of your post anyway?

    Army Corps says no to massive gold mine proposed near Bristol Bay in Alaska

    All industries are a pyramid of jobs - lots on the bottom and few at the top. You'd do well to remember that. Mining is just one more extraction industry. Well understood and allowed to operate nearly everywhere. Usually only blocked by Preservationists (note I didn't say Conservationists)...

    Army Corps says no to massive gold mine proposed near Bristol Bay in Alaska

    You probably got stuck on the word "think". There are always two sides to every issue. Have you seen "fair and balanced" in this thread?

    Army Corps says no to massive gold mine proposed near Bristol Bay in Alaska

    Too bad. This was jobs for real people with real families who actually live in Alaska. Seems to be hampered by enviro-zealots out of state who lack skin in the game.

    Printed velocities vs reality

    Most rifle velocities are for a 24" barrel. I only have one rifle with a 24" barrel, everything else is shorter. I use the printed velocity as a reference point (sanity check) when initially working up a load with my chronograph. I bought a chronograph long ago and I can't imagine doing load...

    Cleaning case lube after sizing

    Just a thought, but I used Ideal Wire Glide cable pulling lube ($12/quart). The stuff dries completely leaving just a haze on the brass. If I cared, I ran the finished rounds through the vibratory tumbler to make them pretty.

    Jetboil in Cold & at Altitude

    I used alcohol stoves when I backpacked - always worked in the cold but terrible for snow melting. My primary truck stove is a cheapo Chinese MSR knockoff canister-type that is great in mild weather. My ice fishing stove is a SVEA 123 - because it isn't affected by the cold and it is cute. I'm...

    Buddy heaters?

    I've used a Mr.Buddy heater (9k btu max) in a 10x10' tent for years, running off a 20lb bottle. Lasts over a week in cold weather where I am running the heater on low all night. I've no experience with the Big Buddy runtime. There are two downsides : Every pound of propane will create more than...
