General Discussion / YouTube and cast bullets
« on: November 09, 2024, 06:35:04 AM »
I've been casting lead bullets for over 40 years.
About 12 years ago I produced a beautiful video showing a brief overview of how I do it. It was video with slack key guitar music in the background. There was no talking, just music. The music was played by a fellow 2A forum member.

YouTube just pulled the video off for violating their policies.
I just sent a protest.

General Discussion / Deformed brass?
« on: October 18, 2024, 08:00:25 AM »
What might cause this unusual shape?
7.62x39 factory ammo.
It's not mine. I just found it.
(I have my theory but want to hear other opinions)

Preparedness and Survival / Using Canned Goods
« on: September 28, 2024, 05:27:35 PM »
In the ongoing effort to cycle through my stash of canned foods, I posted a message about beanie weenies.
I also have a large stash of canned tuna.

Tuna sandwiches are easy
Tuna musubi is classic.
Tuna with Mac and cheese is good.

But I am going to try making smoked Tuna chip dip to eat with fresh veggies and tortilla chips. I never tried doing that before.

Reloading / Old Bullseye powder
« on: August 30, 2024, 06:14:00 AM »
Chrono test using 4.0 gr of Bullseye in each load. Colt gvt 5.5 in barsto match bbl with fed brass and wwLpp. Velocity/SD
.....
The first bullet is my 200 gr.hand cast bullet using a mold made by Miha Previc in Slovenia. It is sized to 0.452 dia and lubricated with my own blend of Hawaiian beeswax and Alox2138F.
=746/6
The second bullet is a 185 gr soft swaged target hollow point .
=700/10
The third is a 230 gr polymer coated bullet from Blue
=709/9

Why is the lightest bullet the slowest bullet?
It doesn't make sense.

R.I.P. Famous Amos

The cookie guy passed away.
Back in the 70's, I used to go to his shop on Keeaumoku St. to get the cookies directly.
They were the best. After the business expanded they tasted mass produced. Unfortunate.

Political Discussion / 3 Children Dead
« on: July 30, 2024, 05:13:48 AM »
3 Children Dead and 7 more injured from knife attack in London.
The dead children were 6, 7, and 9 yrs old. :( >:(
The perp is a 17 yr old kid.

https://apnews.com/article/uk-southport-children-stabbed-dance-class-8a9c7d7ed01441ce96332cd3d1250e43
quote from the AP article--
===
"The rampage is the latest shocking attack in a country where a recent rise in knife crime has stoked anxieties
 and led to calls for the government to do more to clamp down on bladed weapons,
which are by far the most commonly used instruments in U.K. homicides."
====

Isn't this why guillotines and ropes and electric chairs and gas chambers were invented?
y'all know how I feel about this matter.
Anybody disagree? Seriously, I want to know if there is anyone who disagrees...and why.

General Discussion / Illegal replicas
« on: July 12, 2024, 02:36:03 PM »
A few days ago there was a Japanese guy who was jailed for having replica grenades in his luggage.

TSA agents stop man at Honolulu’s airport after finding prohibited items in his carry-on https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2024/07/12/tsa-agents-stop-man-honolulus-airport-after-finding-prohibited-items-his-carry-on/
....
So this makes me wonder, when does a fake weapon become illegal to possess? When does a toy or tool become illegal?
I have several of these grip exercisers which I use to keep my handgun grip in shape. Would I end up in jail like that Japanese guy?

Off Topic / Humane Society adoption
« on: July 08, 2024, 06:09:59 PM »
About 9 years ago I adopted my very first dawg. It was the best decision I ever made. Dawgs are just like children, but smarter.

So I help support the Hawaii Human society  :rofl:
They have an overstock of pets and are putting them out for $25. This month.

Political Discussion / Kids make rules for adults?
« on: June 21, 2024, 01:11:32 AM »
Teens and preteens are making policy that affects everyone but are immune from consequences  because they are kids? Help me understand how this works. What am I missing?

Off Topic / E-Bike laws
« on: June 19, 2024, 06:34:52 AM »
It sounds like the legislature is trying to micro-manage E-Bikes with technical laws.
How are police supposed to determine if a bike has a 750 watt battery or go faster than 20 mph?
To simplify things, they should be licensed and regulated like motorcycles. They go just as fast and use the roads.
It's something like them trying to micro-manage guns and knives.
IMHO
