That's odd...we didn't get a drop in Augusta. So, Jack...What can I bring tomorrow?!?

JD,What part of SC are you in? My youngest has just started shooting his shotgun and would love to get more involved.

I'm really looking forward to it. This will be the first big match that Tommy and I will attend. Linda...I got my assignment via email. If it doesn't rain, do I still have to follow Jack around and make sure the tiger tail doesn't drag in the mud? Jack...anything I can bring tomorrow to help setup? 8:30?

What I've read/been told about the Endurolytes is that they have a complete set of el;ectrolytes, not just the salts foundin normal salt tablets. I still drink Gatorade, but I do the G2 stuff because it has less sugar. Even drinking Gatorade by the gallon, I still get cramps if I don't use the endurolytes.

I get cramps whenever I sweat a lot. Even if I drink plenty, I still get them...and it's not just the muscles I use, it is all of them. Once, after 4 or 5 hours of trail riding I couldn't even drive home because every muscle I had was locking up. A friend who does endurance races told me about Endurolytes so I tried them. They work great for me. http://www.hammernutrition.com/za/HNT?PAGE...7&AMI=10104 Different people take different amounts. For me, when I'm sweating a lot, I take 2 every 15 minutes. When I have been out in the heat for a long time, I also used to lose my focus and it felt like my brain was in a fog. Now, if I take the Endurolytes, I still feel and think sharp. Besides ordering them online, many bicycle shops stock them. I've never tried the powder that you can mix with water, but I've been told it doesn't taste good. I probably sound like a commercial, but I have nothing to do with them, I'm just happy that I can do stuff in the heat without suffering the muscles locking up like they used to. If you give them a try, let me know how they work for you.

Yes, they are boat-tail. It looks like MG is again selling them, though they are limitting customers to 7,000 per order. I have been very pleased with the consistency of those bullets. To get my crimp in the cannelure I did have to trim the cases a little shorter, 1.745, to get my OAL below 2.250.

You can also get the swager right here: http://www.brianenos.com/store/dillon.bench.html#swage What kind of primers are you using? I had this occur much more frequently using CCI. They seem to have a little outward flair at the top of the lip that catches the brass and turns sideways more often than others I have used.

124 for 9 and 200 for .40 2K-3K per month of either cast or jacketed. I won't even pick up my own round off the ground unless I am absolutely sure it is mine. Yes...for me, they need to be approx half the cost of the jacketed stuff I get from MG and PD. For 124s, it needs to be $40/1000. For 200s, $60/1000. As long as the cost is close to the same, shipping is not a problem.

Good point...it was mixed range brass of unknown history.

http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productnumber=825087 When I had a 92, I loved using these. I also use them in my CX4 rifle. Especially in the rifle, standard mags seat so flush it takes extra effort to make sure they are all the way in. Much easier with these and I like the witness holes all along the back. I also have some of the true 20 round Mec-gar and Beretta mags, but I prefer the 18+2 ones.

I loaded some 180gr MG-CMJ for minor to shoot in Production and shot 5 of each through the chrono today. They were within 2 fps of each other and had a SD of 8 and 9, respectively. 4.5gr of WST loaded at 1.133 through an M&P40.

Thanks, guys! Now if I could shoot as fast as I type... 58% of Dewey's overall and 58% on the classifier, at least I'm consistent (ly slow).

As much as this move sucks, I'm glad that you're still working with our kids. You have helped to make a profound impact on many young lives...thank you! The future sucks a little less because of your efforts.

I just did, but it bounced and was returned with a virus!

Matt, I also had Givi. even ran it at the dragstrip with it (cost me 3 tenths). Best was 10.96. George, I'm to scared to go fast in a situation that requires skill. LJE, with the motor there, it looks like it would wheelie if you *look* at the throttle.

So, Matt....now that the weather has been nice, how is it? I used to have an FZ1...I loved it and plan to get another one someday.

Should I add "Joining as BE Forum Dealer" to the Urban Dictionary definitions for "Pitching a tent"?

pwned by Jack (who is obviously more hip than I thought)! http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...ideoID=28061851

Friday shooting starts at 9:00 am. Staff should be on the range no later than 8:00 am - 7:30 if they did not get in the night before to pick up registration materials at the hotel. Linda Chico (L-2035) 2009 SC State Match Statistician That's awful early...could I get a wake up call or sumthin?

Wow! Thank you both!

If you're cheap, buy the book. It will be the cheapest thing you'll ever buy to improve your shooting and one of, if not the most, effective.

Congratulations! That is very cool. I have to point out that you were wrong about one thing, though... No, you're not! Again, congratulations!

Forget the website....I want to come over and SAMPLE!

Oh yeah, thought of another one... that first day or so the fermentatlon process is surprising violent. It can look like the mixture is boiling! I found that it would blow those little airlocks off the top of the 5 gall glass jug so I rigged a stopper with a clear tube that went into another pan of water to work as an airlock. The was enough positive flow of CO2 out from the fermentation container for the first day that there was no danger of any of the water getting sucked back in. After a day or so it calmed down enough to use one of the little bubbler airlocks that sits in/on top of the rubber stopper.

I haven't made any in 11 or 12 years, but Pale Ales were always my favorite. As you've probably read, the most important part is to have everything clean. I started months before saving my bottles and rinsing them immediately after "emptying" them, then run threm through he dishwasher. I ran them through one more time just before loading them. The biggest surprise my first time came when it was time to cool the wort down from boiling to under 100 degrees to introduce the yeast. I sat the pot in the sink filled with ice and it took forever. After that, I bought a coil of copper line and the fittings to make my own heat exchanger. One end of the copper line came up out of the pot and dropped over the side to let the water run out. I had several (maybe 10?) coils of the copper in the bottom of the pot and the other end came out the top, over the side, and had a fitting on it with flexible tubing that screwed into the faucet. After I took the wort off the stove, I set the pot in the sink, lowered the coils into it, and ran cold water through the coils. It never took more than 10 minutes to cool the wort off. Immediately after use (and again before reuse) I took an SOS pad and cleaned the copper coils. I never had any infected beer, but I tasted some that a friend screwed up and it was bad enough to make me careful. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
