Because your customers can't walk right in, fill out a 4473, and walk right out with a registered SBR. That's the best reason to build one, showcase it, let customers handle it - and let them take it home. That day. <thumbsup>

Zeus.

1/2 way through it as we speak. <thumbsup>

I love the PPU Match stuff - been shooting that for several years through the AR15s, and it's damn consistent ammo. I'm glad someone else here likes the Nikon glass with the BDC reticles. <thumbsup>

Damn. Pistol buffer tubes by themselves are $25 or a lttle more - that's a great deal, Larry. <thumbsup>

^^^ You have no idea - you're on a progressive... <lmao>

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.
