Not much to using a tourniquet honestly. 3 inches above the wound and turn until the pulse cannot be felt below the wound. If that puts you at a joint go above it. Its uncomfortable and is supposed to hurt. Improvised tourniquet can be made with special attention to not use cordage or other thin...
I just returned one. Since the belt isn't rigid like exo, It felt as if the bag would sag and allow the belt to hinge on the front of my waste instead of gripping the entire circumference of my waste firmly. It put a bunch of pressure on the front of my hip points (31" waste 6' 170). It honestly...
It's kind of like free 2 day shipping. People seem to just expect free shipping nowadays because postal and package delivery employees work for free 🙄.
Nothing is free from a business standpoint the cost is baked in somewhere.
Some companies are genuine and want to provide the absolute best...
Oh yeah that was just trying to find pressure. Brass is ADG. At that charge I think 1 round out of 15 showed very slight primer flow but was tough to tell. Very faint ejector marks but this particular rifle seems to give them regardless. I Didnt want to push any more so dropped 58 and that's...
59.5 of N565 is sending 108's an average of 3220 out of my 20" Osprey. I'm on the edge of pressure I'd like to try another powder that gets me to 3200 with more wiggle room. I'd like to try 570 but it's currently unobtanium locally.
I dont rely on them for crossing water like some claim. They keep moisture/mud off my lower pant leg and keep debris out. When it's super wet and I have a rain pant on, they will be the first line of defense from my rain gear soaking through from constant wet grass contact.
I don't give a hoot...
Youre right but It only stretches the oal of the brass a smidge IME. I trim to stay at the bottom of the tolerance range so its not an issue. I'll trim together with chamferring before sizing if Im not loading the brass right away; dont have to do it very often. Otherwise if Im loading the brass...
Curious what everyone's reloading process looks like.
What are some things you've changed to improve your process or things you've eliminated that you felt unnecessary?
Here's mine:
Deprime
Tumble in rice
Anneal (drill and deep well socket)
Trim if needed/chamfer
Prime
*Store brass until ready...
Used it to fill a few pads last night. It's slow as expected but did the job.
It filled a BA Rapide SL aaallllmost completely. For a side sleeper two or three breaths would firm it up.
It filled my exped downmat completely so I think the expanding foam inside helped. I could use an inflation...
