Awesome find! Was going to say the same thing...lots of life left!

Duck!

Welcome from AZ!

A good crimp will impress its own "cannelure" into a regular jacket...no need to crunch it in there HARD...just enough to keep the bullet from seating further on recoil.

Where the hell is R2 for the "My AR10 doesn't work" thread?

Should we let him get into drag bikes before or after we start in with Isle of Mann TT?

Come on down! We'll go talk to Heinz and discuss his experiments in .357 Maximum with multiple projectiles (which is a MUCH higher pressure round than standard .45-70). Not sure if he's put together MIRVs for .45-70 or not. With round ball, there's a great deal of info over on MO with both .357 and .45 Colt out of leee-vur guns.

I'm waiting for him to come up with some piggy-back loads...four 185gr JHPs stacked on top of one another in the case, moving at 1400fps.

Hunh. Most guys would have said "...stretches like a condom over the penis." Must be a Shibi thing. <lmao>

Tom's a son-nephew...but he's adopted.

Welcome from AZ!

Exactly why we should be calling for BATF to be dismantled...or at least have the F removed. Prior to 1968 GCA, anyone could order a surplus handgun or long gun through the mail, after signing an affidavit you were of legal purchasing status. Really...what difference is there between that affidavit and a 4473?

SQL like a pig for me! SQL like a pig!

150s eh? From http://www.reloadammo.com/308load.htm 150 grain JSP (Spitzer or Spire Point) IMR 4895 44.5 gr. 2,780 FPS H4895 44.0 gr. 2,830 IMR 3031 45.0*gr. 2,830 2400 25.0 gr. 2,215 Reloader 7 37.0 gr. 2,750 Reloader 15 46.3 gr. 2,880 H380 51.0 gr. 2,876 A2230 43.5 gr. 2,712 A2460 45.0 gr. 2,765 748 48.5 gr. 2,865 Trail Boss 9.5 gr. 1,095 (mild plinking load)(will not cycle autoloader) Trail Boss 12.2 gr. 1,322 (max - still a plinking load)

These are pretty darn cool weapons platforms!

Lots of people get sucked into the "I need a heavier bullet...because it's a .308 Win" mindset. 150 grainers (and the 147s) really are the workhorse of the caliber. One thing Tom failed to ask ( <laughs> ), what is your target at 100 yards? I had some surplus Austrian Hertenberger 147gr FMJBTs that would drill one hole all day in my M1A. They worked great out to 500 yards too, as far as I tested them known range. Not authorized for hunting with those though. Also, do you need 1/2 MOA accuracy or is "Minute Of Deer" acceptable?

Yup. And a GREAT program it is! And of the hundreds of people I've told about, maybe 10 have taken one so far. Which brings us back to the original dilemma: HOW to get training to people, instead of people to training?

My wife would give it gas to get out of the neighborhood and, as a cloud of white smoke started to envelop the front end, would turn and say "It feels like it's slipping?"

Sorry to hear it Magwa. Glad you are alright! How did the shop make out? Mental note: when we put up a steel building, make sure there is a "fall line" safe distance from surrounding trees.

Wait wait wait a minute! People on HERE are complaining about a high price?! <laughs> :hornet:

Not that kind...mechanical pump water wells. We just need a drive source...like an old Jeep PTO.

IMO the author of this article hits on a MUCH bigger issue: Anti-gunners say guns are dangerous but they don't want PSAs to let people know that, they don't want publicly funded firearms training, they don't want publicly advertised firearms training (look at the stink in Phoenix), etc. Look at all the billboards for "Put your kid in a carseat" or "Buckle Up: It's the law". Jeez man, they still have anti-smoking death billboards all over! We have firearms retailers that point the muzzle of guns at anything and everything, and seasoned shooters making excuses when they violate safety rules. "It's my Second Amendment right to bear arms!" And what about the "well regulated militia" part? "Well regulated" back then meant "trained to the highest standard". We're bearing the arms we demanded. When will we demand decent training standards that are acceptable? "Thanks lady! Here's your pistol. Here's a $175 purse to keep it in. Don't pull the trigger unless you're in danger." We see how well that works...not only in this incident but incidents like these: There have been multiple snatchings like this recently in Arizona, with some women getting dragged across the parking lot at 30+mph, so no, a purse or Maxpedition "man-purse" is an unacceptable carry method. The first-time (or second, or third, or tenth-time) purchaser doesn't know, the clerk making the sale has no idea (usually) what works and what doesn't. If they did, Uncle Mike's would have quit selling "universal" nylon holsters decades ago. Back to the author's point, the general public...the same general public that has 9 firearms for every 10 citizens...doesn't KNOW that this carry method is foolish. Why isn't there a general effort and consensus that safety training should be publically sponsored? "Gun training should be MANDATORY!" is NOT what I wrote here. That just brings out the "I don't need no trainin' for my rights" a$$holes. But it NEEDS to be heavily encouraged! By government AND the shooting public, if not American Society at large. For well over a decade my advocacy has been that the government (state, federal...I don't care) give ANYONE who attends firearms safety training course(s) get a dollar-for-dollar tax break. In the 1960s and prior, many public schools had firearms safety training and shooting sports. Yet we now have a higher per-capita firearm ownership and less public training for youth. Something needs to change. We have our guns. THESE are the golden years (if you don't live in a commie state) of gun ownership. We NEED training to MATCH that.

Video said "300mph Up California's Grapevine", linked off a cool video. Posted then watched. Dipwad sped his film up going up the Grapevine...getting passed by minivans and crap.

<lmao>
