CSEMARTIN

I didn't realize how bad drivers really are until I started my surgery residency here in Michigan. Alcohol, drugs, ice and snow, speeding, deer, drivers falling asleep at the wheel, etc. have kept me up all night many times. Hell, I had one guy that dropped his breakfast sandwich on the floor of his SUV. He reached over to pick it up (while driving) and drove into someone's house. Another guy lost control of his car and landed upside down (after being pinned) in enough water to drown himself. A couple of years ago, a semi rear-ended a minivan full of kids. There is nothing in the world worse than watching a child die. Several years ago on a really windy day, a mother and her 8 yo son were hit head on by a truck. The airbag went off and decapitated him. It's really disturbing to see a kid wearing a Pokemon shirt with no head. People need to slow down and be careful!! Now, I stay in the right lane, avoid highways and driving at night, and I drive really slow. Don't get me started on deer hunters (just the drunk ones in their stands), snowmobiles, horses, boats, rodeos, motorcycles, ATVs and gang bangers.

I like it! Please show us pictures when you're all done with it.

I love watching the U of M get beat. I don't care which team does it.

How about Mad Dog 20/20? I think this poison was going for about $2 bucks a bottle back in the '90s.

Well said!

I was only kidding!!!!

This is my take on it so far: 1- No reasonable person (i.e., RM) could say to themselves, "I'm going to track down everyone that didn't shoot the stage the way I wanted, despite the fact that my staff said it was o.k., and have all of them come back and shoot it over." 2- Matt, I had a feeling, before you said it, that you are getting singled out. 3- Has anyone thought about the spirit of the law vs. the letter of the law? 4- Exploitation is a nasty synonym for the word 'gamer'. 5- There is no way anyone running the match can possibly figure out all the competitors that shot the stage the way Matt did. 6- The only way everyone can possibly be treated fairly in this situation is to toss out the frickin' stage. Were competitors later told that they couldn't shoot the stage the way Matt did? This whole thing is a mess. 7- If you used IDPA rules, this might not have happened..........

How could a RM possibly track down everyone that shot the stage the way Matt did? It isn't fair to force someone to reshoot the stage if the match staff o.k.'d the question and signed the score card after the stage was shot. This is absolutely ridiculous! The only fair solution I can conceive is to toss the stage, but that is pushing it. Why should Matt or any other competitor be punished for outsmarting the stage design?

The Lee sizes the case again as it crimps. If you do a search for LFCD, you'll find a couple of threads on this topic. I tried to copy and paste the links, but couldn't get it to work for some reason.

That should do it. I actually clipped the wings off of the wing nut and secured it in place with two nuts sandwiched over a locking washer. It is permanently adjusted now.

How in the hell do you do that?

I use WST with my 650, and I've never had a problem. I suspect the problem you are experiencing may be with the failsafe rod. If it isn't adjusted properly, you can get squib rounds. This happened to me when I first started reloading. It was an expensive lesson, and now I'm very anal about checking it. I certainly don't think it is a problem with the powder. It's probably something you're doing with the machine. Are you using a powder check system? This should catch any disasters.

I've shot 5 matches with Bob, and I've never seen him shoot anything but a .40. Did he switch recently? Here is some information from his website: http://www.watchtv.net/~vogelshootist/Weapons.htm

I agree. You need to get treatment. There are serious complications- Post streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN), Rheumatic Fever...... If I were you, I'd get in my car right now and go to the ER for a Strep Test.

This joke is probably not that funny to people that have been injured by drunk drivers or had family members killed by drunk drivers. But it still isn't as bad as the pedophile jokes I've heard floating around.......

I use federal primers for my revolver loads. I used to use federal primers for my 1911's, but I started having problems: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...c=34948&hl= Now I use CCI 300's for my autos. I have the same problem with federals flipping upside down. It's a real pain in the ass.

I shoot with Gary, and I know for a fact that he is shooting 40's.

I really enjoyed shooting USPSA at Raccoon Hunters.

If he doesn't ship your gun out friday, you should post his cell number so all of us can start calling him. We'll help you get your gun back.

I thought Professor Plum did it with his knife in the library.

Ken, You made an excellent point, and I'm glad you took Duane's advice and posted this thread!

I guess that's an acceptable excuse.

I would love to hear what you have to say on this topic.

Me too! This A-hole needs to be taken down. Brian, I agree with others here. I think you should contest the charges........ Either way, I'm going to donate some money!
