A law against ammo in an airport would stop such an incident? Like the law against shooting people in an airport?

De-capping a handful or so after the 200F drying should show whether the drying method used completely dries the primer pockets out.

Get them all decapped promptly. The primer pockets can harbor moisture a long time even after "drying". Corrosion can set in and can cause decapping and/or priming problems later.

You can dim LEDs by adding resistance, but how much depends on a number of variables. I did several LED light designs for aircraft lighting over the last 10 years. As stated, single LED die have a voltage drop of about 2 (red and amber) to 3+ (white, blue, and green) volts. If the "LED" you...

Changed the G80 fluid early and about every 30K miles in my '06 Sierra 1500. Used mostly Amsoil 75W90. Stopped locking at about 115K miles. No broken parts or noise, rather, it appeared the clutches wore out. Replaced with a Eaton Truetrac, which I like better.

If I understand correctly, the answer is 6 The first digit can be any one of three The second digit can be any one of the remaining two The last one is the remaining one 3 X 2 X 1 = 6 xyz xzy yxz yzx zxy zyx Edit: Oops, too slow...

I believe the K&N, M1, and Wix/Napa Gold all have front end bypass, but I'll check again before purchase.

Down to my last FL820S that I've been using on the Cobra. May switch to something else after that. Whatever I end up using will have a front end bypass, which limits the choices considerably.

All else being equal, a higher bypass rating will direct more oil through the filter media at a “cost” of reduced downstream pressure as the filter media is loaded with debris. But under most operating conditions (engine warm and filter free of excessive debris) there will be no significant...

I’ve gotten great OPE engine life from some engines I run 25 hours or less per year using regular automotive oil. I kept the oil topped off and change it once a year or even once every two years. Those who run an OPE engine 25+ hours per week may need something more specific to achieve the...

When I was growing up, the Model 12 was probably the most popular gun used in Trap shooting. Balance, feel, and durability was of utmost importance and the Model 12 fit the bill. Many others chose the Superposed, but they cost more.

I’ve always been bothered by the lifetime fluid concept since any fluid can and will last the lifetime of the device where it’s installed (assuming the fluid doesn’t leak out or evaporate). Whether that lifetime is acceptable to the manufacturer or customer, and whether a fluid failure caused...

I no longer do chemical flushes. Twice (out of 2 times) I had to replace water pumps very soon after strong flushes so I stopped doing them. Now I just use distilled water and have had no more issues. Therefore, if it were me, I would do one or perhaps more water flushes. Drain, refill with...

Since the 300 Win. Mag. Is only a little older than you (introduced in 1963), finding a rifle chambered for that cartridge will prove both difficult and probably expensive since there just aren’t that many. Both the 300 Wby. Mag. and 300 H&H have been around much longer so rifles in those...

Does the problem exist with more than one type/brand of ammo?

I believe the Formula Shell has moly as well.

3 qt. 5W30 Shell, 1 qt. 5W30 Defy, and 2 qt. 0W40 M1. Normally I use only 5W30, but I wanted to see if a little 40 might reduce the engine noise (didn't seem to). No additives that I can recall.

I believe the sodium is from the previous GTX oil change.

I've run most of the major brand 5W30 oils (both conventional and synthetic) in my '06 Sierra with the 5.3. I've yet to find any noteworthy difference between any of them. The engine seems somewhat noisy with them all, consumes about a 1/2 a quart per 5K with them all (or more at higher speeds)...
