You might want to be careful using citrus based solvents and cleaners. Most contain D-Lemonene which is both a solvent and a transdermal. So do you want to be dissolving stuff with a solvent that will carry it through the skin into your bloodstream? I doubt you could dissolve enough lead to be a problem, but there are other chemicals in reloading especially in fired cases from the priming materials. I just use plain hand soap to clean up. As TBF mentioned the skin coatings work very well. I use DermaShield or Glove Coat. DermaShield Here's the msds for GoJo Orange GoJo MSDS It is listed in the 'other ingredients' section of the MSDS. If you look at the MSDS for D-Lemonene it doesn't list any health hazards for skin absorption because the D-Lemonene itself isn't hazardous, it's what it can carry that can be hazardous. Here are a couple of other URL's www.intox.org Skin Contact: Liquid can probably cause irritation. Specific human information is not available, but citrus peel oil, which contains about 90% d-limonene, is an irritant.(10) d-Limonene was a mild to moderate irritant in animal tests. Limonene (isomer not specified) was absorbed through the skin at 100 times the rate of water drug delivery tech Nitrendipine, a potent antihypertensive molecule undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism with oral bioavailability in the range from 10% to 20%. The objective of present research investigations was to fabricate an Eudragit E100® pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA)-based stable transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) of nitrendipine, which could deliver drug at a maximum input rate through a transdermal route. Monolithic TTS of nitrendipine was fabricated in Eudragit E100® PSA-based pressure sensitive adhesive. To enhance flux, d-limonene was investigated as a permeation enhancer, and effect of concentration of d-limonene on permeation kinetics of nitrendipine through guinea pig skin was examined. Of course you could just use DermaShield first then clean up with GoJo Orange Nolan

A farmboy gets pulled over for speeding. While the state trooper is writting up the ticket a cloud of insects swarm around the trooper. As the trooper uselessly swats at the insects the farmboy says, "Boy, them there Circle Flies sure are a pain." "Circle Flies?" the state trooper asks "I've never heard of 'Circle Flies'." "Yup, them's the flies that circle around a horse's ass." the farmboy replies. "Are you calling me a horse's ass?" the trooper snaps. "No sur!, but you sure can't fool them damn flies!" Nolan

Erik, Are those plated or jacketed bullets? I have never had satisfactory results with plated bullets of any brand. Inconsistant velocity and poor accuracy seemed the norm with plated bullets. Nolan

Les, I'm a firm believer in wearing long sleeve shirts as well. I wear white long sleeve dress shirts $10-$14 at Ross Dress for Less. I like the vent back idea so I'll look for some white Supplex fishing shirts. I take pity on the other shooters and wear long pants. Trust me you really don't want to see my knees or shins! I wear Dickies Khaki work pants. The belt loops are a little tight but I can get a Safariland inner belt through the loops without much trouble. It's a little hard to find them with a 36 inch inseam and a 32 inch waist. Nolan

OK 4 words! Plain White Pickup Truck!

I second Renee's comments. I ordered, paid via paypal and received the order within 3 days. Nolan

Before wings and beer: Happy Birthday Kathy! After bings and weer: SAPPY HIRTHDAY BATHY! Best wishes warmest regards Nolan

Happy Birthday Pat! Remember go as fast as possible and take all unnecessary chances!

Whoa! According to the Pimp Master I is: Snake Eyes Nolan Quick I like that! So of course I pimpafied again and got: Macktastic Smyth Shizzle Nolan

I second the recommendation for ipowerweb. They've been very good to me, no problems whatsoever. Tech support chat answered a couple of questions I had when I first set up. Nolan

A couple of our local clubs have had stages very similar to this one. IPSC legal or not they were a change from the usual stages. One stage provided a shotgun to break several clay targets before drawing the pistol and finishing the stage. I think 3 shots were required from the shotgun and if I remember correctly when finished it was handed to an assistant (would that be the AARO.) The revolver stages that I remember we had to open the cylinder and dump the empties before placing the revolver in a foam lined steel box, then we either retrieved or drew our pistols and finished the stage. I've alway thought it would be fun to have a stage where the shooting order was determined by random drawing. Then first shooter would use the second shooter's gun, etc... and the last shooter using the gun of the first shooter. In other words everybody would shoot the stage with somebody else's gun. Of course there would always be the wiseacre with a screwdriver handy to 'adjust' his sights Nolan

I thought that was supposed to be: My D class USPSA shooter beat your ID**/GS**/NR******/SA** (insert your choice) Master class shooter

I'd like to add to the 'roll yer own' with War Sucks But Sadam sucked Moore!

Well since this isn't the "I hate" forum I disagree with Eric. I liked M&C, I saw it on the big screen though so I'll have to watch the DVD. Maybe it didn't translate well to the little screen. I liked the Hornblower TV movies better, and Pirates of the Carbs was funnier, but M&C was pretty good. I really did like the ending. Nolan

I heartily recommend setting your electronic scales on a granite base. I got a cheapy 12inchx12inchx4inch granite base for a dial indicator from Harbor Freight I think. You definately don't want to mail order because it weighs about 50 lbs. You can crank away on the press and it doesn't disturb the scale. I set a Tuperware Salad bowl over the scale if I have the door open to block any airflow over the scale, but I cut a 4 inch hole in the base of the bowl so I don't have to lift it up to set the pan on the scale.

Erik, Your tumbler doesn't have enough free air volume to support an explosion. Big Dave, I grew up in Kansas and watched a grain dust explosion in a grain elevator. A grain elevator (that's what us un-educated farmers called a collection of silos) in a very small town suffered a structural failure and several of the silos had collapsed across the tracks of the railroad that I worked for at the time. The debris were cleared away and the remaining grain was removed from the other silos before the demolitions expert was called in. They watered down the silos and he placed the demolition charges as a small crowd (20-25) people watched from about a quarter mile away. Two people were standing on the roof of their motorhome when the initial explosions went 'bang, bang, bang' at which point I took a photograph of the smoke ring being blown out the top of the damaged silos. A split second later the earth moved! "BOOM!!!" The couple were blown off the motorhome roof, several windshields cracked and lots of windows were broken in a several mile area. Evidently the first couple of demolition charges knocked enough grain dust loose for the subsquent charge/charges to ignite. The grain elevator was certainly demolished, but with a LOT more clean up than was expected. I suspect the demolition expert's underwear needed a good cleaning once they dug him out from under the debris that covered his command bunker. I have the 'smoke ring' photo buried someplace in my storage locker, but I'll post it if possible. Nolan

It's a sad day when a great man is gone. It's an even sadder day when his critics gloat over his death. Greg Palast Chistopher Hitchens What petty, sniveling little turds!

Check the shape of the bullets. Most seating dies don't push on the tip of the bullet they touch the bullet somewhere further down the ogive(?) curve. If the bullets do not have a uniform contour the seating depth will vary.

Oh Gee Thanks Erik! I don't recall which stage that was, but I do remember finishing 19th overall in Limited to your ??? Gunther, no that photo was about 2 years before I built the first HoserCam. I think I'm wearing a set of Peltor electronic earmuffs. Nolan

There is a very similiar Japanese ad where the girl is reaching for a box of chocolate wafers left of the shelf by the photocopiers previous user. When the young man returns for his box of chocolates he is greeted much the same way. This ad is for the chocolate wafers instead of copier paper. Here's the link (it's ok this link isn't for the Menstrual Cramp relief like the one in Erik's Cold hands and feet thread Core Heat) Mikado Nolan

"Aye Captain, we have ramming speed!" "Damn, he left the boarding ramp up again." "Do I have too much Eye Shadow on?" "So Martha says "You know these prison jumpsuits, oh excuse me I have another cellphone call on the other line" "You mean this isn't the Staten Island Ferry?" "Good thing we left the window curtains down!" "Was that Left foot brake or Right foot brake?" (In a Tim Conway voice from McHale's Navy while holding a .45, "Don't worry Cap' it's on safe see, Down for Safe? Bang! Oh yeah, Up for Safe? Bang!")

Erik was talking about at Japanese Game show dubbed into bad English called MXC. One of the competitions involves running at full speed through 'doors' set into walls, some of the 'doors' are paper and the others are solid plywood. For some strange reason it's very funny watching people bouncing off the solid plywood 'doors' especially the ones who try to run through the 'door' head first! Of course the paper 'doors' are usually in front of a mud pit.

No problemo! He's only welding on the Gas Tank!
