    We had land over here, and land over there.... Everything in the middle was part of a missile test. We didn't want to go around to get from here to there, so we just drove the straight line. They cancelled tests for about two days. The enginerds were very upset that the environment of their test was disrupted.

    Good vid belly. I'm pretty much stuck on the whole left eye dominant right handed deal. I'm can pistol right handed, but I think I need to rifle left. Cheek weld seems to be over stretching to keep the dominant eye in focus. Still haven't fired rifle. I don't want to buy parts to lefty the rifle if I don't have to. I know.......noob!

    Thanks for the squib load vid BC. I can't stress how big of a deal it is, I almost tried to fire a round after a squib. I don't really like to think about how close I was to doing so.

    Oh wait, OBC, you had a squib? I didn't realize that, just passing along a video since I know you're new to reloading. I've heard of the serious dangers of squibs, but never really knew what to look for.

    Common sense told me recoil and report would be different, but I never really thought about it much more than that.

    It was scary how close I was to firing again, BC. Shell ejected, but the next wouldn't chamber, I didn't check the barrel.... I'm fortunate to have learned this and still have all my fingers.

    We found out later that a round was stuck in the barrel.
