Exactly. That was the first punch... He brought down salmon, and we cooked it over a firepit last night. @Magwa, I know Deb has all the pictures that Jolene took of the cooking process... THE CRUSHER was the blade that Mike made for them. It's beautiful, it was delivered well after dinner, and it was the fukkin knockout punch...

There's much more to this story, too - @Magwa knocked the Range Owners socks off - Tim and Jolene. He floored them. Not once, but twice...

I like your style. I find restricted shiit for the US sometimes, so I switch my VPN to Canada...

Just got back and unpacked. We ALL got after it! I took the Scrambler 850 up the mountain to put the target camera system in, but couldn't get the thing to sync up, up there. I went up at 4pm on Sat, and the sun goes below the horizon around 5:30pm. I met Tim at the bottom of the hill, grabbed another component for the cam system, went back up, and still couldn't get it to sync up. Slapped a Caldwell flasher on it, radio'd Tim that I was leaving off the north side of the mountain, and when I was clear, I'd radio again for @Magwa to start sending round when I was on my way back. My route back was interesting, to say the least, and I made bad decisions. I went down through a wash that I thought we went down last time - NOPE! I fought large rocks, a dried out tree, several cactus - and there was NO WAY for me to back up... ... Fight on to the Ranger Objective and complete the mission, though I be the Lone Survivor... Did that, got back when he was shooting his 7th round, just got off that fuqn BEAST of a quad, and he fired the 8th, made impact. The sun was low, the wind was blowing towards the sun (west), but I also had a north wind coming into me when I was up there. @JBMatt got up there and did his business with his brand new .300 PRC, made impact, but I wasn't paying attention to the details - I was back in the low lands, and decided I was gonne make that camera system work - set it all back up, had everything on, couldn't make it connect to the IPad... Fuq it. Now, it's MY turn to shoot. Pull out the trusty Win Mag. Last time I was up there, I dialed my 16.9 mils for down here, and came up a full target high. Learned my lesson. THIS time, I dialed 16.4 mils, and Tim yells, "Give him a hundred bucks for a cold bore - I've never offered that to ANYONE, but if he does it, I'll give him a Benjamin!!!..." Well, I heard all this shiit, and I'm laughing to myself - and the sun is now down below the mountains west of us. @JBMatt hogged up all the sun! Sent the first one, and Matt says "3 and a half targets RIGHT! Elevation is good!" Wind died, so I was holding 16.4 mils straight up. No Hundo for me... I measured that target in the scope no less than 3 times, making sure I knew the observed size, asked Matt how far it was off no less than 3 times, confirmed it in my brain - just over half mil wide. I held the 2 mil mark just outside that right edge and sent it... IMPACT! 2nd round impact. Matt is saying "Keep sending them! Keep shooting!" I ran 5 more in a row, missed one, kept shooting my 10 rounds, and ended up hitting 7 out of 10 shots. I hit #s 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 & 10. Got that barrel good and hot, in a short piece of time. Hell, I shocked myself... That damn Win Mag WORKS...

It's amazing. It's the 16" barrel, didn't have to do any work to the barrel at all. I run it with 225gr Hornady SST handloads, and the damn thing shoots softer than my 18" .208 Win gas gun that's built almost identical to it. It's a great gas gun cartridge.

Saturday, 8 Nov 25... @JBMatt and I are meeting @Magwa at Parabellum Range just outside of Kingman, AZ bright and early in the morning, to tackle the Patriot Mile up there. 1776 yards. This is gonna be a hoot - there ARE some Shenanigans planned...

Look at the size of the PAWS on you, brother!!! A fukcing Desert Eagle is gonna look small in those!...

You can pay shipping by driving your ass out to AZ and shooting with me. Food is provided, bring guns and ammo. You can't use my toothbrush, and you have to have your own change of underwear...

I almost only shoot BA barrels or WC barrels. The WC barrels I have are in 260 Rem (x2), .243 Win, 7mm-08, .338 Fed, and .358 Win. They shoot. My BA barrels are .223 Wylde or .308 Win. They almost always use VG6 muzzle devices. I try to never deviate from that, unless it's a dedicated brake for a certain gun, then it's a Witt Machine brake. I haven't had the issues you're having, under that specific build criteria of mine. I never, ever do that. It's like shooting an incomplete gun. I develop my hand loads on a finished gun, muzzle device properly installed. If it has a threaded barrel, then it gets shot, first time, with a proper muzzle device installed. My $0.02.

Lemme know what that beast does, man! I'm liking this option. Not much out there, because .45 ACP ARs are a motherfukker...

Too easy...

It's the muzzle device. I've tested guns out here in the desert, that don't group for shiit. REMOVE the muzzle device, and suddenly, the gun shoots. I had someone give me the muzzle device we took off, for finding the problem. I threw it in the trashcan when I got home. What's the barrel twist rate on the WC barrels you're shooting? That was left out, above, and makes a difference, overall. From what you've stated, so far, you get different results from different muzzle devices. That's what I'm picking up here... Your own statements, and results: Yes. It will prove the point that it was the muzzle device. That's not the problem - it grouped, bare barrel. It's not the WC barrel, obviously, since it grouped. The only two muzzle devices you've tried resulted in shiit accuracy, and you shot it bare and it worked... That tells everything, right there...

GREAT REPORT, BROTHER!!!! It's on my list now!

Lemme know, brother - the only .45 ACP AR I have is an old skool Olympic Arms unit, and it absolutely rocks - and is absolutely not available anymore. If it runs for you, it's good enough for me, and I'll pick one up right away...

It's snowballing... Gun Grabbers smell the blood in the water, the fuqrs...

WHAM!

I've been wondering about their stuff - how's it run?

She's my Dream, brother... Damn, she's hawt as fuq... 😍

Prove it, Belt!!!
