  Acts 4:15-20 says, “But when they had commanded them to leave the council, they conferred with one another, [16] saying, “What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has been performed through them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. [17] But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name.” [18] So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. [19] But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, [20] for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” Dishonest and ungodly men have always tried to suppress the truth. These men had seen this miracle and could not deny it, yet their biggest concern was keeping the truth quiet so that fewer people would know that truth. If we suppress the truth we are ungodly. If we don’t want people to know the truth then we are wicked to the core. Godly people speak truth. Godly people realize that our ultimate judge is God and we refuse to compromise His truth.

  Well, I have been AWOL !!! But I haven't been dead. My shooting for 2020 was doing well in Q1 less well in Q2 and even less well in Q3 from a frequency perspective (goal is daily). But real life intervenes in the summer for sure between cows and hay and day job etc. But now its Q4 so time to get back to work, still a few weeks for cattle and hay and alfalfa planting, but today is the first day of the rest of my life, so I am going shooting today ! And there's my summary for the year so far. I specifically wanted to FORCE myself to shoot prone more this year and I am up to 38% anyway. The key learning for this year was AMMO MATTERS. I've got a load with 44gr of varget and 175gr SMK which is a "node" for both one of my rifles and my #1 shootin' buddies rifles and we are both consistently under 0.5 iphy at 100yds with that load ... so that's improved over prior data point of 0.75 iphy like I was at when I was up in huron. I'm trying to work on a 155 SMK (#2156) load. I got a new barrel reamed for 155 and am hoping I can find a node for that barrel with the 155gr. I did find nodes with CFE223 but the SD was still pretty high (10-15) ... so I finally acquired some 8202 hoping that is a little less sensitive to temps. I finally solved my military brass primer pocket issues with "uniformers" for both the 308 and 556 brass. Now, finally, priming is easy like everyone was saying it was. My current reloading area is trying to make sure I get the sizer correct for my headspace ... I'm still noddling in that area right now. I know its close, but it is close enuff ? And do I need a 233 bolt gun to load develop for my stoner rifles ? I'm using the "sticky bolt lift" to see if I'm getting close to over pressure for the bolt guns, but don't have that with the stoners. My love affair with bolt guns which started in 2018 still isn't over and I'm thinking about two more for next year. Both long actions ... one will be my first "huntin'" rifle ... though I want to be able to swap out the lighter barrel for a heavier barrel when I'm not hunting. And then other will be an LA 308 though want to be able to swap out bolt and barrel to make it a second .300WM if needed. Then for my SA actions, one will stay as a 308 then other I want to change barrel and bolt to make it a 223 though want ability to switch back to 308 if needed. I think I'll either stick with REM700 actions, or switch to defiance actions. They are 100% rem clones, but can swap barrels and retain headspace (if same torque is used) and have pins for their scope bases. They also have a skeletonized version, though I wonder about skeletonizing the recoil lug. So still cogitating on all that. Right now I've paired down to six active centerfire rifles and carbines two 308 bolt guns with criterion barrels (20 and 22) rem700 sa actions and bravo chassis .. NF and L&S scopes and a UTC and UTCx thermal clipon for these. two PRI mk12s 556 with NF and VO scopes and douglas barrels and two PVS-9 NV clipons for these two 556 (10 inch barrel) carbines with eotech, steiner ir-laser, luna elir-3 illum And that's it !

  @rhyno said in Is this a timing issue: it'll catch when the bolt is cycled. The bolt only has to move a very small, almost imperceptible amount back after unlock and it'll catch, you can hear it in click when it does it. Then it sounds like you could benefit greatly from having that cocking piece worked to improve timing/function.

  Primal Rights Exclusive TS Customs RimX Rifles This thread will be used to announce availability and post testing results of the most recent TS Customs RimX turn-key rifle packages offered exclusively by Primal Rights, Inc. As a rifle becomes available, we'll upload a new post consisting of rifle pictures, spec lists, as well as any accuracy/precision reports we have for the rifle. Prospective customers may purchase a rifle at any time they wish during the testing process. We'll tag each post with "testing complete" at the bottom when we do not intend to work with the rifle any further, though if you've seen enough to make your decision, you can call us anytime to inquire about its purchase. Rough pricing will be indicated with each rifle, though final price will depend upon many variables that will need to be discussed over the phone before final pricing can be determined. Extra mags, lot testing, ammunition, shipping, and many other variables can greatly affect the final price. As a result, no pricing information will be discussed outside of phone inquiries. Specific pictures and tests with certain conditions/ammo types may be requested, and the original post will be updated with those requests as time allows. Customers may send test lots of their ammo to be tested in a rifle of their choice. (Only SK, lapua, eley, RWS, re-brands of those, and select others will be allowed.) If there's anything specific you want to know or see regarding a rifle, you can simply request it and we will do our best to accommodate. Certain accessories and optics may be provided with the rifle upon request. Due to the vast array of options, this will need to be discussed via phone. It is our intention to provide the most elite RimX rifle systems available anywhere, with the most transparent sales process to accompany them. We want you to know exactly what you're looking at from a fit/finish standpoint as well as examples of each rifles precision/accuracy capabilities. This first post will serve as a FAQ which we will update periodically.

  The one I bought two years ago took a little over 4 months. My current one is at a year.

  This was great, thanks !!! I ordered a set of "setback gauges". I also like the "why" bushing sizing dies have issue. The non-bushing dies allow the brass sizing operation to result in lengthening the case, whereas the bushing die may change the case elsewhere during resizing. Elsewhere ( like farther down ) being bad. I've added non-bushing sizing dies to my wishlist. I'd seen people say "don't using bushing sizing dies" before, but they didn't include the "why" part :)

  I enjoyed your story about listening to the coyotes in the distance as a young boy. I can very much relate. I lease a piece of land in the Okefenokee swamp in GA that I started out originally pursuing wild hogs. That spread to White Tail dear. During the past 5 years of this process the coyotes have proven to be the most elusive of all three species. I upgraded to NV & Thermal yet getting the dogs to come out of the thick brush after dark has been a steep learning. curve. More to follow

  And if you think ammo has been hard to get the last few weeks, imagine what it is going to be like now that all the gun owners in CA can restock without a background check. It at least briefly crossed my mind that I should put some of my 223/556 stuff up for stupid prices on GunBroker. Talk about a sellers market.

  Update: We decided to divide the building (30x30) our living quarters adjoins and make a bedroom and bath with a good sized walk in closet and a small den I guess we will call it. The washer and dryer is in the bathroom as well. A little tight but doable. I lucked out and got a really good retired house builder that is willing to do the job and five days we have it framed and the loft deck on and the shop wall up. I already had plumbing for the washer so Thursday he stubbed out the rest and now I am wiring and hopefully by the end of this week I’ll be done and the ac guy can start building ductwork to have central air in both living spaces. I almost had a heart attack when I ordered the framing materials wood prices have tripled. I also had a 240 square foot slab poured and it was $13.50 a square foot. The last one I had poured was $7.50. I wouldn’t want to build a big new house right now. Geez. Anyway so much for retirement.
