  1. That's a good way to do it. You get the stained glass look without losing all the cool air.
  2. Just an observation: I can't see stained glass as being terribly good at insulation. Now, in Central Texas, it is not as critical as North Dakota, but still, utilities will be higher. Have you considered putting an additional layer of glass or plexiglass over it on the inside? Or maybe even the outside, which would protect it from damage as well.
  3. Well, that was different. Not bad, interesting. I wonder how much of the actual culture of that land was in the book and how much was just made up. If that's their actual culture coming through, man, nobody should ever step foot in the place, leave them alone. No wonder they call that whole area the graveyard of empires.
  4. I saw that they were "non binary" or whatever the left has decided to call them today. But you don't see it unless you really, really dig into all the articles. Then you'll find a mention of it. That Nashville shooter's manifest has been buried because it has everything the left has been brainwashing the youth with. Did you see the part that leaked?
  5. Yeah, bullet lead is another problem. Used to be you could get lead wheel weights anywhere. That's what I've been using for 50 years. Now, they've gone to zinc or iron. I have a hundred pounds, maybe, but 230 grain boolits go through it fast.
  6. Well, I bought a pound of it a long time ago, so just loading what I have laying around. I haven't bought any powders or primers in a long time. Prices I've seen are just shocking. It's at a point that you can't load a bullet cheaper than you can buy one today, or the cost is virtually the same if you use a jacketed bullet versus home cast. I did recently buy a bunch of "factory blems" jacketed bullets from Midway. 7's and 30's.
  7. Sure, I always like to see load data. I shoot cast in 7x57, 223REM, 45ACP, 300BO. Don't know if I can find that powder or not, though. My 223 load is with Unique at 2000FPS. I use it to shoot my plate targets in the back yard. Any faster makes bad divots in them. Even those at 2KFPS will dent them. The 300BO is a sub sonic 230GR with Win296.
