I really thought about getting a reproduction Mckeever cartridge case, but I couldn't justify the expense for the video.
My tried and true tactical fanny pack is the pinnacle of cartridge containing systems.

Well, tomorrow's run and gun was the hardest, clumsiest one yet by a wide margin:

The gun gods demanded a sacrifice!
I mean I never doubted how significant the stripper clip was, but damn if loading a Krag with some haste doesn't deepen your appreciation for them.

So this showed up at the shop today. Mosler Raptor GTR. I am not afraid of driving anything in here, but something about a 1,200hp car weighing in at just over 2,000 pounds makes me nervous:

Ah, I guess I misheard that. Anyhow, as far as I know, the Schienfurt raids did not do much to actually cause a ball bearing shortage in German industry. I'll have to double check, but I have never heard that Tiger tanks were excessively loud due to failing bushings. I could be wrong, I haven't spent much time reading about Tiger tanks lately. Now, lack of rubber certainly lead to louder tanks, that was an issue the Germans had to deal with.
To be honest, I don't have a strong enough opinion regarding the Stg44 to have much of an opinion either way. I enjoy Ian's forgotten weapons videos and assume his opinions have merit, as I do Sturgeon's.

Did they really say that its the first true assault rifle because Hitler himself said so, or did I misunderstand?
If I understood correctly: That's bullshit logic. Hitler approved the mass production of the 188-ton Maus tank. I'm not sure what the opinion of a batshit insane dude has to do with this.

This evening I learned the art of the gross motor skills reload. It has changed the way I shoot.

It is difficult to comprehend how fast an F1 car truly is. To drive one at its limit, you practically need a jedi knight level skillset.
Here is a comparison between F1 and GT:

I like a lot of Hornady's offerings. They're expensive, so they must be good, right?
Also I dig whoever is the director of that video.
"OK guys. I want you to look over these large pieces of rolled up paper that have drawings and triangles on them. Now act like you're discussing something. Oh, also, here is a caliper that I want you to have on the table because calipers look cool."

Actually yes.
General Motor's made M1 Carbines, M3 "Grease Guns", FP-45 "Liberators", and M16 rifles. I am sure I am forgetting some, but basically if you had a factory, you made something for the war effort.
Cadillac still focused on vehicles:
