>>35332 I'd say at least play Solid 1-3. 3 is also canonically the first.

>>47355 I recognize this question, glad you found the right thread. The first thing I will suggest is acquiring reloading manuals, you didn't mention that and the lurkers will benefit too. The Hornady manual is the best one to start with, it's easy to understand and covers all the main reloading processes. The Sierra manual goes more in depth, there's things about exterior ballistics and how not to bend your M1's operating rod. >Can I just substitute a countersink for an overpriced deburring tool? That would work but you really should chamfer and de-burr inside and out. That also brings up how you plan to trim to length. It must be done and a lot of the options are pricey. I've only experimented a little bit with it but the Lee Trimmer can multi-tasks and has given me great results for how cheap it is. I haven't tried it with power yet but it has a quarter inch drill chuck. You could skip the whole media tumbler part and polish the case with your abrasive of choice on top of trimming, chamfering, and de-burring. >Do I really need a powder measure, or would the scoops that come in small cc increments and a scale do? I'm just doing small batches of precision loads and some subsonic ammo. No plans to mass produce the stuff. Charge throwers are finicky, expensive, and measure volume like the scoops. They both work but a digital scale that measures to at least 1/10th of a grain is what you want if you value precision over productivity.

>>47413 To be clear you don't need a tumbler if you feel the pain of every shekel but you definitely need some sort of bush for the neck and a primer pocket scraper. High seated primers are bad news, especially for semi-autos.

>>47417 I got the idea (from Sharpe's reloading book I think) that cleaning brass was necessary to make casing inspection ready. I'm going with the stainless steel pins that are used for jewelry. Reportedly people are using it to clean casings.

>>48708 I've gotten by so far without one but that's been neck sizing only for hunting rifles, I've run into issues with full length resizing. I need to get some sort of cleaner before I start into my stash of once fired 45-70 and the 30-06 brass for my M-1. All that stuff has been on the back burner since the Corona component drought. I was leaning towards one of those ultrasonic units that doubles as a parts cleaner but I haven't done much research into it.

How is reloading looking these days? I haven't paid attention.

>>38730 hmm, well if youre trying to sterilize before clotting then keep a vial of hydrogen peroxide or alcohol on you with your clotting kit. i have no clue on how to apply it so i dont know whether its ok to just dump it in the wound or if you have to soak a rag in it but either way that sounds like the easiest solution. Get some zipper sealed mylar bags, your clotting device, and a vial full of hydrogen peroxide/alchol and cotton balls/rags if needed.

>>38614 fuckin' lel, u cheeki /k/unt >>38730 FIRST fucking thing I wanna say is that I'm not a doctor. Take this for what it is, just some random faggot on the Internet telling you what he's read and/or been told. That out of the way, my first-echelon choices for minor shit in the field, personally, is either ordinary triple-antibiotic ointment like Neosporin (burger brand name, if you're not familiar), or the New-Skin shit I mentioned earlier, which contains... hang on... benzethonium chloride. Which of these I use is largely dictated by the size of the wound and the mechanism of wounding; they seem more or less equally effective in my experience. Although as I say that, it occurs to me to mention that New-Skin can be troublesome with young children in my experience; they seem prone to scratching it away if the wound itches, so bear that in mind if you're responsible for any larvae. In a more settled setting, like at home for instance, my go-to is high-strength isopropyl, like 91%. Murders fucking everything, no prisoners. Hydrogen peroxide is pretty good, too, but I'm told by my ER nurse relative that it slows healing, and that the pros are moving away from it for this reason. She also recommended PVP-I, but research I conducted found an issue with certain pathogens actually being able to sort of hide out in the agent itself (guess my nurse hadn't got that memo yet), so I'd skip it for now. As far as in vivo, you know about fish antibiotics, right? Final note, I always try to stress in these sorts of conversations that I'm not, NOT a fucking professional, and I urge you to consult someone you trust who has actual, formal training and certs. >>38088 Based namefag is based, let's do it. >>38738 >i dont know whether its ok to just dump it in the wound No, you don't wanna just dump that shit into the abdominal cavity or some shit. It's entire job is being universally toxic as shit; anything with a label saying stuff like "for external use only", you're gonna want to use carefully. I'm not qualified to advise you on how to, or indeed even whether or not to apply such agents to internal tissues; all I'll say is that by the time you have occasion to even contemplate any such action, it's time to just stop the bleeding as best you're able to and get your PT to actual fucking trauma care and let them deal with it. You or I have absolutely no business trying to sterilize deep tissue in the field, except maybe as a last-resort hail Mary when everything is fucked forever (EMP-level bullshit, for instance) and homie's definitely gonna die anyway if we don't do something.

>>38741 agreed

Once you've successfully dumped gunk into your open wound and sealed it up, what does the recovery process start to look like? Does the clotted blood encourage new skin to bridge within the opening under the big chemical blob that's been dumped over it? Is it a situation where I'd have to be scraping and sewing if I wanted permanence to come of this remedy?

>>37409 Macau is perhaps one of the most autonomous regions in China precisely because of their status as Chinese Las Vegas. They are recognized as falling under the One Country Two Systems treaties and in many ways actually have more autonomy than Hong Kong because of their organized criminal underground. They're effectively their own country so long as they pay lip service to Beijing because they have dirt on everyone in Beijing.

>>37419 >>37420 Sorry, I probably said that poorly: from a few videos I've watched on the city, Macau has barely any actual permanent residents, only workers that come from neighboring regions, a few embassies, lots of hotels, malls and casinos and generally speaking the people there have very little "Macauan" culture, as in they still have signs in Portuguese for the novelty factor but it's not a second language anymore. The local government of Macau doesn't mind CCP influence at all, actually they even thrive through it as the officials bribe them to have a good time. Also, of all the "autonomous regions" in China Macau is the only one who has never once made any appeal for statehood. Am I mistaken?

NWO assassinated Abe for non-compliance.

F.

>>37317 Tell me where I'm wrong on this assessment here... Shinzo Abe's a dead cunt who taxed nips up the arse to discourage more of them from having children, any accomplishment under his watch was accidental & an oversight and having mini-Blair of the East die prematurely was a good thing because his successor's on the whole less competent and less slick at deceiving the gooks into thinking they're not gonna get Trotsky policy spun and thrust on them to make Japan into yet another nation of third world curry peddlers.

>Any good information in here? no

>>54447 If not here you might check out the do/k/uments thread, strelok.

Good job, strelo/k/, I appreciate the effort and time you put in to write this down. While I do not agree with everything, it's a good work to put in place the basics of post-collapse survival. I just have one question: my greatest concern in any sort of collapse or post-apocalyptic situation is that ammunition will eventually run out, especially in extremely violent situations as might be expected in the collapse and subsequent tribal warfare. Granted, ammo factories can be taken, and gunsmithies can be set up to do handloading, but both can take precious time and lives. How likely is it that, for a given period between the initial collapse and stabilization, that people will be forced to resort to simpler weapons like muskets, bows (long, compound, and cross), and melee weapons?

>>54526 fairly low. the collapse wont be global and it wont be forever. eventually either a foreign country is going to start importing it again or youll be able to bargain it off of shadier UN peacekeepers. lots of potential answers and paths. even if you could get the manpower to get a munition factory running you wouldnt be able to organize an effective logistics chain to supply it so just purchase more than you can reasonably expect to use and have something worth trading for more if it comes to that.

>>53347 >Nah, kids and adults alike will want nothing to do with it outside of government mandates or maybe the poorest of the poor. Foreign alternatives will be better/cheaper/sleeker because economies of scale, and inevitably "cooler". That doesn't matter if using these devices is mandatory during compulsory education, and then they get it for free*, and then they get to keep it, or they can give it back for recycling or reselling. With that many free* devices floating around, you'd inevitably have some hobbyists using them for various projects, and that could eventually lead to some cult following. *Free as in the taxpayers pay for it. >brain drain >lagging behind and playing catchup Neither of these is a problem if you set out realistic expectations and are honest about them. If people pay out of their pockets to learn the basics of anything related to this industry, then letting them go to learn even more is not a loss from a purely monetary perspective, and there is always a chance that one of them starts doing some industrial espionage out of pure patriotism. And the main goal of this whole program would be to make sure that the government doesn't have to rely on foreign tech companies to function, not developing bleeding edge experimental stuff in a l'art pour l'art fashion. Similarly, profitability is not the end goal, although selling stuff to niche markets could at least lessen the financial burden. On that note, other than education and military, I somehow completely forgot that the administration itself could use these computers. It's not like you need supercomputers to work with spreadsheets.

>>55992 > thought China (or it seems India) > Iran > Russia had a major deal recently to make a chunky straight railway going in that country order, Even if we disregard the geopolitics, such a railway would have to go through the Himalayas. An other route would be to go through the -stans, but then they'd have to play ball with all of them to make sure that the route works. Overall it is simpler to ship stuff between Iran and Shina through the sea, or send it through Russia. >I am now also realizing Russia's precarious position towards Azerbaturks despite being buddies with Armenia They can just ship stuff through the Caspian Sea. There is a break-of-gauge between Russia (including everything that was the Russian Empire) and Iran, so having to put everything on a boat first is not that great of a loss, because they'd have to put everything on different wagons anyway, and this way the boats can go through the Russian riverine routes, so that they can get quite close to their destination. Shina in theory is trying to build a route through the -stans as part of their belt and road program, but it doesn't seem to going anywhere anytime soon.

>>18346 I think you can make a plausible argument for America's economy collapsing. We made a lot of loans to the British during WW1 even before officially joining, and just them losing and getting saddled with reparations would be bad news all on its own, never mind what would happen if the Empire was exiled to Canada and the socialist revolution in the home island refused to honor the debt. >>19649 Executing John Brown would be a great start.
