    Tinnitus driving me crazy

    Talk with your doctor, there are hearing aids that helps. For some therapy helps, learning to move focus. For me stress makes my tinnitus worse (same with some medicines). A life of shooting, hunting and large ship engines..

    Best flashlight thread (or, "torch" if you are from Southern Africa)

    The best flashlight is the one you have available when needed, so I have bought a bunch of this ones of eBay and have them "everywhere"; cheap, reliable, uses AA. For when I need lots of light (like lamping foxes or what the heck is over on the other side of the garden I have other, too...

    Do any of you invest in gold and silver, and if so, how?

    I always get the last words in any discussion with my wife, and it is always "yes dear, you are right". As for lotteries, the is just an extra tax on stupidity. It is always fascinating to hear people not willing to invest money in stocks or funds due to the risk and then saying they have to...

    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    OP wanted to use light-for-caliber bullets, som short action would work very nice. In my opinion the optimal case volume for a 6,5mm projectile is the 6,5x55, yes-one can get some more speed with larger volume but at some point you just burn more powder and barrel steel. For good order, I am...

    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    260Remington, more balanced then the x55 with light bullets, fits in a short-acton. Cases will never be an issue. 243 would also do what you want here..
