    Suppressors off the NFA list!

    Correct. My upcoming SBR build will be a 14.5" with QD device that can be pinned and welded if needed. The suppressor, I suppose could be an issue at some point, but that's for another day.

    Suppressors off the NFA list!

    Anything new cooking on the NFA/Form 4 front for suppressors? Most shops in New Mexico still require the form 4 process (pending ATF guidance...."who knows when"), but Silencer Shop lists two that transfer using a 4473. How are the gun stores in Free Texas leaning? Are we expecting ATF...

    Best light weight .338 bullets?

    The TTSX is indeed a good choice. My hunting buddy used the 185 for 8 or so plains game is SA in a 338WM. Was happy with the results including BWB, Kudu, and an Eland. Caveat on the Eland - it was a perfect quatering away shot with the bullet entering just behind the shoulder (IIRC). Meaning the...

    .223 Snafu

    A. What brand(s) of brass are we talking about? B. You can put a p.pocket uniforming tool in an electric screwdriver or drill to speed things up. Still a pain, but often necessary. AFAIK, there are no short primers. I also bought bulk range brass, once.

    I like the flat tax idea because it taxes foreign made goods that use accounting methods to book income (and taxes) overseas.

    Best Ballistic Software for Apple Macbook?

    With the caveat that I've not had my Kestral out in a good while and I'm sure there have been a number of software updates... Yes - you can always manually enter Density Altitude, temperature, etc. It will then default to those numbers until you decide to update.

    Delta or United direct to Jo'Burg

    Delta refines their own jet fuel so there's that. (Not an expert on the matter, but it’s been mentioned on the business news.)

    Parking in front of your own house would not bother me in the slightest. Maybe that's what you prefer - or need. How about if your neighbor blocked you from doing that day after day?

    Politics

    A friend used to live in a really nice neighborhood in Houston (based on house sizes, build quality, etc). No HOA. His next door neighbor apparently had multiple grown children move in with them. Possibly others as well because they had so many cars the street was always crowded. And he...
