    Safari Vehicles in America

    They are out there, but you probably won't find one on Autoscout. I wanted a right hand drive model, which is why I went to the UK. Of course, the Germans do not go off road unless they are using it as a farm vehicle, they do not have the proud British tradition of Greenlaning. I spent ten...

    At this point, I think we are just speaking past each other. My previous point was that it's logical that a country of 30 million would purchase more from a country of 300 million, that can't be a surprising conclusion. A further point is there seems to be a logical fallacy in saying one...

    Yes, it is an apples to oranges comparison, but the direct comparison is not the point. It's not logical to say one side "needs to protect things" but the other side does not. Goose and gander and all that.

    Real world experience: 1998 Land Rover Defender 90, Station Wagon (that part is important). Purchased outside of London (Surrey, if you must know, but no fringe was involved) late December, 2019 for 10,000 pounds sterling. Drove in Germany until I hit the "25 year point" (August 2023). 25...

    Well, if you're "protecting the stuff you do make", why can't anyone else protect the stuff they make? Going way back to post #1, the topic was steel and aluminum. Is not protecting US aluminum manufacturing as important as Canadian dairy? The best fair trade agreement is the one that says...

    Noted on the authoritarian... Yes, many have said the same thing about current events, but no one really spoke out on the other at the time. As far as the trade, my point is less about cross border shopping, and more about availability. If Canadians produce less products, whether by...

    OK, I'll play silly games. I mean, I can't even find a hockey stick anymore that says "Made In Canada", so that's part of the reason I'm not spending much money in Canada anymore. I grew up on the border. I used to see a lot of Ontario license plates in the mall parking lot. A sales tax plus...

    Understanding a burn rate chart is not something to trust, I notice 4895 is much closer to VV N130, which seems like an awful fast burn. What's your load? When I ran the numbers in QuickLoad, it looked like I'd get a mostly full case with N150 or N160, and between 90 and 100% burn in a carbine...

    As I said, it was a précis. Perhaps "reimbursement" is the wrong term. Whether you have children or no, your tax dollars fund the public school system. Some cannot afford to pay for private schooling. If they were able to use that tax money towards the private schools, their children may...

    Is “30-06OR” on 12/70mm x 12/70mm x 30-06OR Simson Drilling the same as common 30-06 Springfield?

    Yes, but no other rimless round is called "OR". .30-06 is simply .30-06. If they were using a European designation, it would be 7.62X63. I've just never seen OR.

    Does not the R imply a rimmed case, not a rimless case? If so it would headspace on the rim, not the shoulder.

    Yes, there is disagreement on Mr. Goldberg's conclusions, and even he has admitted second thoughts. I look forward to a second edition. I think my important point on that is the presence of footnotes. That is to say, one can re-read the sources and draw one's own conclusions, based on the...
