What's the velocity on these!?!?! The chamber pressure is probably a bazillion CUP!

My preferences aren't so diverse. My favorites:

Yeah, I see that now. DEFINITELY better with wood. Nice looking gun, so I'll retract the comment I made and replace it: As nice as it looks, why did they feel the need to change it? I'll never understand why somethings cannot be brought back unchanged. The square butt end of the receiver looked better IMO with the SQUARE end, not the smoothed and radiused end they have now. NIce gun, but I guess man doesn't know how to make anything new and improved unless they change he whole thing.

An A5 with a black stock.....I'm not a shotgun aficionado but that looks like vomit to me. A5 always meant class to me.

Yeah, me too. 50g SP Midway varmint bullets come apart out of my Spikes 1/7 I didn't know when I bought it. I have a 1/8 that does very well with them. As for Colt....pffft, that's been true for a while now. There are other companies building much better stuff. MUCH better.

Well for Paletiger and many others, it's been a forbidden fruit fantasy for a long time.

Dual function? Be a great way to stay safe while performing at a venue!

No 16 inch barrel AR will fit in a bag as small as the Tavor will;) AR's and reliability? Come one, not again. Good AR's built properly with good components are as reliable as any rifle ever made.

Awww, both hands, both knees and both feet while in a sitting position, what could be "Unseemly" about that?

Tiger, your diligence and prayers have finally paid off!

I thought of that when I was in 6th grade. No joke, I always wondered why Slash from "Guns" & Roses never had a guitar shaped like a gun. It's about time someone did it. I mean, come on, how long have we been doing air guitar with our rifle/shotgun when no one is looking? Yeah you have, don't lie about it!

Jeez, why didn't they just break out the arc welder? Bubba, somebody ought to kill him for all the guns he's ruined. -
Why do your do your own reloading?
Caster replied to RobertNashville's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
AMEN. Not many understand, but believe me, I do. -
Here's an end all to the debate. If it tickles your fancy, then buy it. It's proven accurate cartridge and it's deadly efficient. It if makes you happy, BUY IT. But you can't buy it and talk about it unless you post a picture:) BTW, just take up handloading and forget availability issues. You can make 25/06 brass from 30/06 easy enough. Save money, take pride in the process. Good luck in whatever you choose.

Pistol calibers for one. I would also say maybe the .300 BLK with a suppressor? Or anything subsonic for that matter as a loss in velocity will not be as detrimental.

Why do your do your own reloading?
Caster replied to RobertNashville's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I do pretty close the same routine. I only weigh once as my Pacific scale is pretty darn accurate. I cast my own and for my "premium" loads I weigh each boolit +/- .5 grains. All the others go into the "blaster pile" [the equivalent of your 3 gun pile]. Because of stray traces of boolit lube, I wipe down each case before setting them in the plastic box. That's where I often hypnotize myself by the shinny new creation I have just forged:) Once again, blastin' ammo doesn't get the spa treatment, but I ENJOY slowly crafting each one of "Caster's Premium Munitions" I think there's another aspect to reloading as we have described here that may be overlooked. Custom tailored ammo to be sure, more accurate as a result, BUT: They may also be more accurate because of the time we spent. Think about it. An hour spent on a box 50 will not be shot like wolf through an AK, NO, NO! Each shot will be deliberate, and careful. That's too much work to just blast with, so they are not only finely tuned, they force our hand to be finely tuned as well so that we not cheat ourselves of maximum satisfaction from the fruit of our labors. I wonder what maybe I have a wee bit too much of the good thing known as free time:) -

Caster replied to RobertNashville's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Well yeah, I don't take as much pains with loading 'blastin' ammo. I wonder if the "hour" you speak of is the same as my "hour"? Do you catch yourself wasting seconds by staring at a finished cartridge after wiping it off but before you put it in the box? I'm bad about that:) -

Caster replied to RobertNashville's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Yeah, but what's an hour for a box? Depending on the gun, or how much you get out of it, it's not much. I spend about hour/50 loading 45 Colt. I could do it faster, but I REALLY enjoy it. Buffalo Bore charges $75 for a box of 50 for something equivalent to what I load. I do it in an hour for less than $3 or $4. Hmmm, yup! Time well spent:) -
....I do. FMJ kinda sucks for almost everything unless you need to punch a hole. I stock in quantity *50g soft point, mostly Midway's Dogtown bullet. *62g ss109, my only FMJ *70g Barnes TSX *75g Prvi HPBT match *80g Amax Admittedly, the Barnes and Amax not in any real quantity, but I'm workin' on it! For my "S is Hitting TF as we speak, grab it NOW!" AR load, the barnes is tough to beat. A few magazines full ain't cheap, but a 70g TSX from a 1/7 barrel will really do the trick. I won't remember the money I've spent on the day I use them.

Internet rumor [yeah I know] and just a gut feeling. Anytime I really like something they flush it. I hope I'm wrong. Terra Nova was great.

I set the DVR for series record. I thought it was pretty good. There seems to be a rash of new shows that show there are some writers out there intent on redeeming themselves for the whole "reality tv" heresy we've had to put up with. Maybe this will run for a while until the next season of Falling Skies picks up this spring. Sadly, it appears we can kiss Terra Nova goodbye. *Supernatural *Grimm *Once Upon a Time *Alcatraz *Walking Dead *Falling Skies Once they come back on. What are you watching?

An equally vomitous mass is the Rossi lever action revolving carbine known as the Circuit Judge,

I mean as if the stock ain't bad enough, whoever put the pic rail hand guards and bird cage on that poor thing ought to be took out behind the wood shed and beat with a fan belt until they lapse into a coma. BUT, even that ain't the worst of it all. What's worse? Oh yes, someone is going to buy one. AND someone is going to be proud of it. Bet on it.

Okay, i want the whole world listening when I say this: STOP PUTTING AR STOCKS ON ANYTHING THAT ISN'T AN AR!!!!!!!!!!!
