I need to get my ass on some .223. I've been slacking on that.

JumpMaster, huh? How many jumps? <thumbsup> 88 here, 77 made it to my jump log. 56 of those were with a ruck, because it's gay to jump and not get the ruck out the door... <lmao> Hollywood jumpers are gay. :tfg:

In a total attempt to completely derail this thread - you mentioned Lincoln, NE. In my many adventures driving across this great land, Lincoln, NE has the most badass, rockin'-est fukking radio station I've ever found on the open road. I don't know what that station was, but it fukkin ROCKED!!! :hethan:

That P99 you have is a bad bastard. That's not the "normal" P99 there...

I think Lesson 65b comes into play here. You snooze... <lmao>

^^^ I need to party with you, Cowboy!!! <lmao>

I used this again tonight - it's so damn good!!! :hethan:

I mis-read your first post - thought you also had a problem dropping the magazines.

Dropping mags, with recoil - looks like you could use a couple more turns on that mag catch (unless you're running a bullet button, in Cali). Big gap in the end of that one.

^^^ True. I love reloading, but I sure don't think I'd enjoy doing it as a profit-making venture. I have a guy at work with a couple hundred cases, and he wants me to load them up for him - because he's too cheap to buy loaded ammo. He wants to pay whatever the components cost. I told him to gather his own components with his own money, come on over, and I'll show him the steps necessary - then he can see what it's all about, pick up his own setup and start reloading. I think the point I was trying to get across with the "time is money: is: it does take some time to convert cases to 300BLK, so people will have to factor that in. You can't just drop 37 cents per round and load 'em up in a rapid manner. You do have to invest the time, to make them at that price.

^^^ Very slick. Smart concept, right there.

Ran the numbers on my 300BLK 150gr loadings, at current prices. I figured CCI #400 primers at $34 per box of 1,000, one pound of H110 powder at $35, and the Hornady 150gr FMJ BT projectiles at $25.99 per box of 100 - those are the prices I paid last for this stuff. So... 25.9 cents each for Hornady 150gr FMJ BT with cannelure. 3.4 cents each for CCI #400 primer. 8.0 cents each for 16.1 grains of H110 powder. Converted LC 5.56 NATO brass is free, but time is money - converting it takes several steps. Each BLK round costs me 37.3 cents to make, the way I'm loading them. Beats the $hit out of paying for 20-round boxes of loaded ammo, that's for sure, but then again, time is money...

You can enter data in the Load Center on Hodgdon's site, and it turns up info for .223 Rem up to 69 grains, and .308 Win in 150gr and 180gr loads. Nothing in between on the .308 stuff, so it would be experimentation for 165s or 168s, even 175s. http://www.wwpowder.com/basic-manual-inquiry.html Curious about the numbers I saw for some of the .223 Rem stuff:

SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!!! :banana: <lmao> I've got one rifle in particular that's gonna get the Patriot Brown treatment. The combination will come out something like this setup:

Well, we're going for Thursday morning. Nice down here right now, but the little truck wheel-bearing-replacement has to get done today. No way around that. Plus, I slept in too long... <lmao> Already talked to Mike, and Thursday we'll be shooting steel. <thumbsup>

^^^ Something like that would NOT surprise me, in the least. You're right.

I think I need to figure this out, also. Local place must have received PALLETS of Win 748. I need to figure out a 5.56 load with this stuff.

If Mike wants to push this back a little, I'll have steel targets after tomorrow. I'm just sayin...

"Pop and no kick" is another term for it.

Her BLK already got blasted down to bare metal a few months ago. She's been shooting it naked. It gets painted - finally - and she'll be happy. It's NOT any form of pink, however. You guys will be shocked when you see how it turns out. <thumbsup>

I can't believe you made those beautiful rifles - but you're afraid to make the ammo that goes through them... <lmao>

^^^ That's some damn fine shootin', right there. DAMN fine. <thumbsup>

And it's a victory for every gun owner. <thumbsup> Federal judge rules DC ban on gun carry rights unconstitutional http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/07/26/emily-miller-federal-judge-rules-dc-ban-on-gun-carry-rights-unconstitutional/ A federal judge in the District of Columbia on Saturday overturned the city’s total ban on residents being allowing to carry firearms outside their home in a landmark decision for gun-rights activists. Judge Frederick Scullin Jr. wrote in his ruling in Palmer v. District of Columbia that the right to bear arms extends outside the home, therefore gun-control laws in the nation’s capital are “unconstitutional.” Click here to read the decision. “We won,” Alan Gura, the lead attorney for the Second Amendment Foundation, told Fox News in a phone interview. “I’m very pleased with the decision that the city can’t forbid the exercise of a fundamental constitutional right." Gura said he expects the District to appeal this decision but added, “We’ll be happy to keep the fight going.” The decision leaves no gray area in gun-carrying rights. Judge Sculin extensively referenced the Supreme Court decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) and McDonald v. Chicago (2010) to concluding “there is no longer any basis on which this court can conclude that the District of Columbia's total ban on the public carrying of ready-to-use handguns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny.” The court ordered the city to now allow residents from the District and other states to carry weapon within its boundaries. Judge Scullin wrote that the court “enjoins Defendants from enforcing the home limitations of [D.C. firearms laws] unless and until such time as the District of Columbia adopts a licensing mechanism consistent with constitutional standards enabling people to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms.” The defendants are the city government and Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier. This case has dragged in the courts for five years. Gura has twice asked the federal appeals court to force Judge Scullin to issue a decision. The five plaintiffs filed in 2009, and the case was argued twice, most recently in Oct. 2012. George Lyon, a D.C. resident and registered gun owner is one of the plaintiffs in Palmer. “I am gratified that after a long wait our right to protect ourselves and our families has been vindicated,” Lyon, a lawyer, said Saturday. He urged Mayor Vincent Gray, a Democrat, and the Democrat-controlled City Council to “swiftly enact a concealed carry law that protects the rights of law abiding citizens to protect themselves.” Gray and D.C. City Council Chairman Phil Mendelson did not respond immediately for a request for comment.

However, if they're 40mm Thumpers, and not 37mm guns, then they have a whole arsenal of different rounds at their (military) disposal- HE, HEDP, WP, Cannister rounds, Flechette rounds, etc. You can't shoot that $hit ^^^ from a 37mm gun...

Where's MikeDaddy? I'm ready to make a plan for my place. I can shoot at anytime. I'll be taking portable shade with me, too. Already have targets cut. Mike might have to drive, depending on what time he wants to shoot, because I need to do a wheel bearing on the little truck. Hell, Mike, just get to my place and we'll drive the Big GasPig. <thumbsup>
