    Cole and I tried to shoot some steel cased .223's out of the Mini 14. After 3 or 4 it'll hang em up from the heat.

    I have a 2012 DOM RRA that eats steel Wolf happily when I was a broke kid. Def doesn't run as well as the Federal/AE stuff I feed my rifles now though.

    Wolf gold runs pretty well though if in a pinch.

    Generally, yes, I like my current employer much more than my old one. Every day felt like an eternity for the 3.5 years I worked for them. I'm coming up on 5 years here now and it feels like a comparative vacation. There are days though...

    Def getting a little tired of my current role though; Just need something new for a change of scenery and to continue to grow. I've def felt stagnant lately. Downside is I have baller hours right now, and every "promotion" comes with terrible hours and a radically higher cost of living in places like Boston, etc.

    I just use grippy drawer liner and keep things straight.

    The customer may have said "Red", but he meant "Lime Green". Send 'em back for a do-over.

    A level of organization I might aspire to but will never achieve.

    I never have discovered the secret of an organized toolbox... :notsure:

    Must need more and bigger toolboxes I guess -- leads to the same old problem:
    Need a bigger garage! :D
