    I have (had?) a liberal friend from college. He unfriended me on Facebook.

    He's a Bernie Sanders supporter. He's an economic illiterate. He constantly posted "Occupy Democrats" memes that were inaccurate or outright lies.

    Now I'm an avid anti-Socialist. I was a Republican for years but moved over to the Libertarian position probably a decade ago. In the early 1970's, as a teenager, I had the good fortune of traveling behind the iron curtain during the cold war between the US and the USSR. That experience cemented my hatred of socialism/communism.

    But with my college friend on FB all I would do was be very civil. Never argued. Provided links to non-partisan websites refuting socialist tax claims, economic claims, etc.

    So for being honest and objective I got unfriended. I gather that is a common thing for liberals to do when they don't want to face the truth.

    I think I witnessed part of that discussion.

    It's unfortunate that he is unable to have a constructive conversation. It's on him. I would not say it is a uniquely liberal trait though.

    So was I rude? Not civil? Factual?

    Actually studies show that Liberals are likely to ban you for your views while Conservatives are more tolerant.

    Is it possible to ream too much, and what is the minimum case length?



    Did you happen to pick up the lyman reloading guide? I believe the 49th version. Lots to learn in there. I'm thumbing through it a little at a time myself.

    Well, I think I could make a system cheaper and better. But, it would take time, and time seems to be a problem for me.
    I'd rather not use a phone, would be to small.
    My tablet normally stays at work.
    But, I could use my laptop, with a car battery/inverter.
    I'd rather use a receiver hooked to a small LCD screen.

    Oh, and that's the "1000" yard model.
    There is a "300" yard model, cheaper. But, I'd like to shoot further, and I take range estimates with a grain of sand.
