  1. Floydie, hop into the Intro section, and tell us a little more about yourself. Make an Intro.
  2. That is CRAZY. Damn, I need a progressive press setup.
  3. I have a Matrix set - several of us here do - but it's based on the older version, identical to the Ruger SR-762 uppers and lowers. They were difficult to figure out, and took a weird bolt catch and takedown/pivot pin lengths. The new style that's straight-DPMS pattern will be much more straight forward for parts.
  4. That mag catch button is threaded WAY too far onto the actual mag catch itself. WAY too far. Back that thing off. Try a mag in the magwell to test that bolt catch before you ditch it. Test it first... If the bolt catch screw is too long, just make sure it's got good thread engagement - that's not a big deal. If it drives you crazy,you can trim down the other end, that's all smoothed off. Knock the end off it the same amount as the threads stick out...
  5. I've never worn out a receiver set. Not even on an issued Colt M4A1 that I had for 10 years. And it got the shiit shot out of it. It was rebarreled twice, but I never wore out receivers. My $0.02 on this...
  6. Make sure it's the AB Long Range, the ABLR. I think the standard ones (non-LR) have a different expansion threshold. It might not matter, though - you'll have a long distance shot to make to get the velocity that low, or shooting from a short barrel in order to... My 12.5" is above 1300 fps at 600 750 yards, in that chart above...
  7. ^^^ Yep. For certain. They're ignoring it, because... Good guy with gun stopped bad guy with gun, and QUICK. Nobody died but the shooter.
  8. Nope, couldn't get Tanner out there. Mikedaddy, either. He called on Sunday, when we were up on the hill, in the rocks, shooting down.
  9. There's some OR people that think this will pass... 81k signatures by the beginning of July, and it's presented. With all the granola-heads that are running around that state, 81k will be no issue...
  10. From what I've been reading the .264 Nosler AccuBond Long Range (ABLR) in 129gr is a fantastic hunting round. It expands down to 1300 fps., has excellent accuracy, and offers great weight retention. I haven't tried any of them yet, but I will be loading some up n the future and working up a load. I have some Barnes 120gr TSX projectiles to load up. Those are always proven performers.
  11. http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj_simp-5.1.cgi Just fill in the pertinent details and it spits out the trajectory profile.
  12. Full30 vid, doesn't embed yet. You gotta click the link... Mat Best and BRCC... https://www.full30.com/video/2f0c5ab7ddd024bea9eb305fa362edab This is awesome, because I've spent a week in a snow cave in Alaska during a Jan~March training rotation... Fucking loved it...
  13. Here's some Full Semi Automatic for you... https://www.full30.com/video/cdbdd7389dc170209fe04f76abb49a38
  14. We need to get with this. I read it before, but already signed up after all this YT bullshiit. Look at these two vids, and make up your mind... https://www.full30.com/video/ddc097bc3fe2d9480d9541a296488c52 https://www.full30.com/video/64aa633c019bc9906515abb7991d5730
  15. Well, the only 100gr 6.5 ELD from Hornady is the ELD-M, with BCs of .385 (G1) and .194 (G7). Depending on what you're doing with it, you'll be far, far better off loading up something heavier, like the 123 ELD-M, with BCs of .506 (G1) and .255 (G7). Target bullet for target bullet, the 123 will be far better off at shorter distances and longer distances. That pertinent piece of information would have been helpful up front, instead of getting it through questions. I'm loading Accurate 2520 for Grendel, 123 ELD-M over 28.5 grains, CCI 400 primers. It's giving me excellent results so far, through two guns with different barrel lengths. Here's the details, with more distance confirmation coming up. This was what I observed this last weekend...
  16. I know my Varget loads and my RL-15 loads are damn near identical, with the same performance. Never heard of H335 being the same, but I've never used it for anything other than light-projectile 5.56 loads. What are you shooting that's running 29.5 and 32.0 grains? It ain't .308 Win. Let's get to the business, and get all the info out here already.
  17. She had a great time,even though it was just for an afternoon - she had to get back to my parent's place in Phx. She's talking about coming back out for the Fall Shoot. She was out a few years ago, several. I think it was 2012. Been awhile, anyway.
  18. I'm out. No Oregon for me. http://oregonvotes.org/irr/2018/042text.pdf

    howdy

    txquad, you are one tough human. Glad to have you aboard.
  20. So, the charge isn't the same weight. That's doable. Different charge weights for different powders is a different story. They probably all are the same velocity, or close. List the charge weights for all 3, if you don't mind.

    Just a question... did she like the blood? You know, showing up looking like a caveman?...
  22. Bring it, brother. By the way, my sister's name is Jen. I don't know what she's got on Ray, but she sure does like him.
  23. Usually not. Depends on powders. Impact range, too. 100 yards isn't much, if it was that range. List more details in the post, besides what's in the title.

    Was this the 3rd gear wheelie through the intersection?...
