Good for you man, wish I could say the same. ;-) Check back with ya on my freezer status in a couple weeks tho... Saturday the Elk season starts here! The bulls were bugling last night not far from the house, was so cool to sit and listen to.

France Train Hero Spencer Stone Stabbed, In ‘Serious Condition’

Read our exchanges, read the posts from yesterday, the day before, a week ago, too weeks ago, in fact read them from every single day, you will find me making ordinary civilized comments, just participating, and problems arise exclusively with 98 as he essentially stalks me and immediately delves into his spider monkey routine, now that's whats tiresome. Granted I can see as for that one line it could have been interpreted that way, my bad for not being more concise, but if you read it and think about whats being proposed the suggestion I am stating that the world famous SMK match target bullets everyone knows and loves would disintegrate in mid air is preposterous on its face. And listen, I knew he was going to make some snide unnecessary comment when he asked, but I tried for posterity to reply as if it were a normal question from a normal member, but of course its not, and I would have been happy to respond kindly to anything in the "So hey Goose are you suggesting the SMK's break apart in flight" ballpark, or whatever it may have been, but rest assured going forward I am not going to just sit here any longer and have an obnoxious a$$hat continue to harass me day in and day out without some form of blowback, particularly when he does so by his own admission solely out of a singular desire to harass me, and not add any meaningful content to the thread. Hemi, Wash, I am more than willing to tread lightly if the favor is reciprocated, and the several others of you who chose to share your thoughts with me privately, thanks for those. ;-) ...and moving on. Am still interested in hearing Magwa's experience hunting with the subsonic target bullets.

Here is yet another case of you shooting off your mouth and being disrespectful without warrant. Not a word was said about external ballistic failures, that is until you stumbled into the room. The fact is for you to infer I was saying that in any way shape or form at all it would then mandate that you were inferring that that bullets would disintegrate even more, IN THE AIR, at shorter ranges!?!? Pure stupidity. 98, I meant they disintegrate upon impact on the target before going transonic, at Mach 1.2 or greater, and I am inquiring from Magwa for hunting purposes would they hold together at subsonic speed at closer ranges and not ruin the meat? Dude do yourself a favor and read the thread and have a feel for whats being said in relation to the conversation before you start playing the arrogant a$$hole over and over again, or rambling off $hit that isn't even pertinent. We may not all be as brilliant as you envision yourself to be, but had you even cared enough to read the thread, or had you any real intention of adding some thoughtful, constructive comment, other than just one more in an incredibly long line of self aggrandizing remarks that goes on ad-ifinitum, or making another insolent attempt at baiting people... perhaps these threads and the OP's would benefit and appreciate it. One thing is certain, I can assure you in a conventional loading a SMK will undo itself out of my 7mm Rem Mag, or 300 Win Mag inside an elk at close range, period. In short to review less all the nonsensical BS; I was commenting on, and interested in hearing Magwa's input on hunting, and whether or not the match target bullets he uses at subsonic speeds hold together at close range, which I PRESUME they do since he hunts with them, and in particular if that is the reason he runs them subsonic. Thanks, and pardon the digression.

At longer ranges I know from personal observation the thin jackets on the 168gr and 175gr SMK's don't hold up worth a $hit and the bullets come apart, that's before going transonic, which is probably great for a sniper who just wants to shred the target to pieces but not so much if you wanna eat what your target is, so at shorter range and even greater velocities it would follow that there would likely be little left but a bunch of small particles, that may be the reason Magwa is shooting them subsonic, or so I suspect, I have no empirical evidence to that effect, nor do I claim too.

Welcome KC, Sounds interesting, look forward to hearing more as you work through it. You are in a good spot, lots of great guys and solid information to be had around here. Alan @ Sprinco is an excellent source of advice and info IMO as well! Get er done. ;-) -GG

I really like the A-Max bullets and have shot them a lot at longer ranges. Just judging from what they do out at those distances I suspect at shorter ranges they would just disintegrate, not what your look'in for when you're harvesting backstraps, Magwa must know something we don't about them being subsonic and mitigating that issue. I have always wanted to hunt with SMK's or A-Max's but never have for that very reason, interested to hear more about that.

There is a guy here in Idaho who has a one NIB for sale, its chambered in 6.5 CM for $1350 if you're interested.

A man wakes up one morning to noise coming from up on his roof, he walks out only to find a gorilla up there. Bewildered at the thought and not sure what to do he looks in the yellow pages, and sure enough there’s an ad for “Gorilla Removers”, he calls the number and the gorilla remover assures him he”ll be there in less than 30 minutes. The gorilla remover arrives 25 mins later and gets out of a large van with a steel reinforced cage in the back. As he approaches the homeowner he notices he’s got a ladder, a baseball bat, a shotgun, and a huge growling ferocious looking dog. “What exactly are you planning to do?” the homeowner asks. “I’m going to put up this here ladder against the roof, then I’m going to go up there and knock that f*ckin gorilla off the damn roof with the bat. "Then what", asks the homeowner? Well when that big bastard falls off that there roof that big ass damn dog is trained to immediately bite down on that gorilla’s balls and squeeze as hard as he can, and mister that dogs got 250 lbs of pressure in his bite and a locking jaw, trust me that big black motherf*ckers gonna be in so much damn pain that it will give me time to tranquilize him and call the dog off, then I can lock him in the cage in the back of the van,” says the gorilla remover... and promptly hands the homeowner the shotgun. “And what exactly is the shotgun for then?”, asks the homeowner. “If the f*ckin gorilla grabs the bat and knocks my ass off the roof shoot that damn dog.”

Hmmm, not sure about JY's street cred these days, but the plot certainly thickens...

Dude between (Exeption: my beloved UT getting hammered), the Clemson winning in a last D effort (Hate ND), Chargers squeaking it out against Cleveland, NO winning against Dallas in the final seconds, and then the big D stand for the Hawks tonight, yikes! What fun!!!

Haha... precisely! Its incredibly naive and the GFZ's are what needs ending, not private gun ownership!

LOL, 100% agreed! Think about it, 9/11 and all the crazy loss of liberty that ensued thereafter would never have happened if cockpits were not considered as "Gun Free Zones".

In terms of red dots I've always had EoTechs and Aimpoints, and they've been flawless, but I got to tell ya after buying a couple of these Vortex strikefire ll and a SPARC ll for the kids and seeing what kind of optic you can get now days for $200 bucks... honestly I'm not sure how many more high end red dots I'll be buying. Now conventional rifle scopes is a different story. ;-)

Busy day for me in the reloading room today; Sorted through 1K pieces of LC brass I bought from Tim (USMC_0317_SS), by the way if you need some 308 brass I would highly recommend Tim, hes a great guy, he sent me a tracking number the next day, and I got the package in the mail just a few days later. Been working up a load for my 7mm Rem Mag for hunting season so loaded up 10 more of those. Then I completely disassembled my G27 cleaned it and then dropped in the sonic cleaner for a few minutes, dried it off with the air hose, reassembled and put a couple drops of Gun Butter in the right places, 10 years old and at 1200 rounds now it runs like a top. ;-)

My Longhorns... ugh? Great to see Clemson beat ND tho! Dad was an USC man and I was raised to hate ND... ;-) LOL!

Here's to Aurthur Perry! We've lost so many good guys from the greatest generation era, I remember as a kid the WW2 guys were everywhere and it wasn't uncommon to get the chance to easedrop in on them sitting around swapping stories. Its a shame to lose a good guy who followed in those men's footsteps at what sounds like a fairly young age.

No cable here, stream what I wanna see. Unfortunately we do have an antenna and our kids have friends...

John Walsh: “There are no background checks”, NRA are terrorists…America's great justice advocate speaks....

Come on man your AO is 72 degrees mean temp 24/7 365! LOL!

If that POS show doesn't F'ing offend and disgust the hell out of you just on the merit of it being in the cable providers TV listing up on your big screen each week, well grab a stiff drink and see if you can watch the anti 2A passive aggressive BS excuse for MSM family programming that they had the balls to put out this week, and then let me know what you think! I tried but wanted to F'ing unload a shell or two of 00 into the screen about half way thru. What a load of $hit that show is... sorry guys, gotta go walk around and mutter to myself for a while.

Not sure it ranks up there in the big leagues with the likes of the Rastafarian Fed who shot himself in a classroom while assuring the staff and children he was the only one in the building who was qualified to handle a firearm.

Would be funnier if I didn't see so much of myself in there over the years... lol. I have since been cured in large part, but kept my Bill Wilson Carry. ;-)

Haven't bought one yet, will probably plug in the SWFA fixed 10X I gave my Son, he's not using it at the moment, it will give me some time to get a better idea of what this is capable of and where it fits in the mix. Enjoy the vino! ;-)

Yep, was planning on a AP M5 rail, they are making them available in Oct, but someone showed me the fortis switch 15" rail, that seems like a cool product. Other than that I was planning on a 20" barrel from X-Caliber but am rethinking that one for obvious reasons. Pretty close to getting it done and posting a range report for you guys though, won't be long. ;-)
