on a lighter note...

dare not post this question in a serious optics thread. Does anyone know if one can purchase a shot glass made of Schott glass? I think it would be hilarious to have one. It is possible for some Germans to have a jovial side and maybe someone has thought of this.

I've tried a few searches and, as one might guess, the words do not lend themselves to a definitive internet search.
Schott glass is owned by Zeiss.
So, in theory buy a high end Zeiss scope and you should get a Schott glass.

Having said that, bad news is Schott company now is in problems, going to recession and releasing a good number of workers. This I have read lately somewhere.
Have no idea how Zeiss is managing their marketing now, and where and how their high end scopes are assembled.

Best idea I can think off, send a message to Zeiss and ask them which models would they recommend to get this particular type of high end glass.

Perhaps you ought to find someone who has accidently shot their Schott glass and stick it together into a shot glass ;-)

Haha, quite possibly. Reminds me of something I heard long ago. It's a little contrived but I think appropriate for this thread on this forum.

Imagine if felt (the cloth) grew as bark on trees in fields in Africa. This works whether you pronounce "veldt" the Afrikaans way or "veld" in the English way.

After cutting down a felt tree, one might say:

"I never felt felled veldt felt like that felled veldt felt felt."

Okay, so some people believe a little alcohol can loosen the tongue. By the time I have enough alcohol to loosen my tongue to try to say that I'll be more focused on just keeping the bar stool balanced and the room from spinning.

I’ll ask them next time I meet them. I love the idea!

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
