I have had one.  20" A2 rifle.  It rattled like an AK when you shook it.       Over 2K rounds through it before I sold it, ZERO failures.  Would hit a clay target at 100 yards with iron sights to the point of being boring and monotonous. Maybe they're not top of the shelf finest ever made like LWRC or Larue........but if they go bang every time like mine did & hit the target, how can they be bad? Only reason i sold mine, I was tired of such a long and heavy rifle.  

The rules and regs are there for a reason and that reason ain't to purposefully inconvenience you.  These are the scumbags that mess it up for everyone else.   I hope they never get to hunt anywhere ever again.  

Just stay within the confines of listed data with H110.  If you need more flexibility, switch powders.  

I seem to recall my Accurate manual listing "Desert Eagle Loads for .357 magnum.  If you like I can look for .44 mag "desert eagle loads"  

i just visited Hodgdons website......28.0g is way over their listed maximum.  Such is the curse of interwebz load data.     http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/pistol     Winchester case, remington 2 1/2 primer, 1.600 OAL  Starting load of H110 is 23.0 and max is 24.0g     H110 is a GREAT powder but it has a small operating window and operating outside that window things get stupid fast.  Reducing as well as increasing is VERY bad with H110    

These can be quite the contrary little bitch to load for.  Being gas operated, they don't dance like the rest of our pistols do.   Wish i had some specifics for you.     Cheap target ammo is quite renown for being anemic.         As far as cases and primers....pick one.  Stick with it and don't start swapping them around.  If you like Starline cases, use them, just don't mix cases or primers.  Someone will chime in that's perfectly safe to do so and it might be but you will NOT get consistency that way.   If you are using data that does not specifically list ALL components and the test medium it was fired from......reconsider using that data.  

Never tried it. Jimmy Kelly's CAN do it ......just not every single time.

All shipping companies have the dumb. I live in Fairview. Every time I order from MidwayUSA it goes to Knoxville. That makes about as much sense as me driving to Memphis on I65 south. There are major hubs in both Nashville and Franklin. MADNESS!

There are NO good steakhouses in the middle tn area. Only places that get it right occasionally. Cooking a steak right is an art that seems to elude Nashville.

Be sure to post pics of the SCAR when it happens so we can enable you further.....to suppress it. :rofl:  :rofl:  :up:  :up:

Dahmer got life too.  Maybe mister orange hair will get his brains bashed in on the rim of a toilet too.  One can only hope.

Amen to that one!!

You'll have to be very cautious and be sure there's enough oil in the mix to keep the rod and crank lubricated, but it's pretty amazing what some small engines will run on. I know a 5hp Honda will run on Golden Grain 190 proof as well. Done tried that one too.

Very cool. Train with that while you save for a SCAR. Yep, we're a bunch of enablers around here.

First off, welcome! Second....that ain't gonna cut 'round here. We're worse than a bunch of women in a shoe store, we wanna see everything and know everything. What kind of rifle are you shooting? Distance, ammunition, details...details...details! LOL!! Seriously though, welcome and jump right on in.

Two stroke engines are much more forgiving on fuel. A four stroke needs good clean fuel to run proper. I've tinkered with several two strokes and have run them on kerosene and diesel blended with fuel/oil premix. I used to have a weed eater that would run on straight kerosene. It required starting fluid to crank, even when hot, but it ran great on straight kerosene. My push mower is two stroke and I've fed it similar. Two strokes are extremely simple once you understand why they need.

Out board engines are both verticle and water cooled. I kinda wanted to stay away from bike/quad engines because I don't need the gear box to deal with.

I could probably work with two and half horse but really would like a little more. Wish there was a horizontal crank engin like my push mower. I have a Jacobsen push mower with a Suzuki two stroke. Don't know the horse power but it will cut one high grass as long as it can get the grass out without clogging. It's STOUT. I just like two cycle engines. If they're set up and built right they sure to last a long time. I've been using this Jacobsen for over five years with nothing but a fresh plug every year and a new resistance type plug boot when I rammed it under a bush and cracked it. I've even run it on 50% gas/oil - 50% kerosene. Ran great. Stank like heck though.

Anyone ever seen a side shaft 2 stroke engine of any real size?  I've seen several vertical crank engines from push mowers but for the exception of geared dirt bike engines, I can't recall seeing a 2 cycle engine the relative size of a 5 horse briggs.   I have a project in mind that I will need a small side shaft engine.  I prefer two stroke engines and would like to find one.  I've googled and obviously found nothing or I wouldn't be aggravating y'all.   :pleased:

If all the zip ties magically vanished the car would fall into a million pieces.   I went to school with an old boy who had a ride like this.  It was an old Ford truck, 76 I think.  360 engine.  He had an intake made for two fours but only had one good carb so he cut a street sign to make a block off plate for the back carb position.  His plug wires were made from scraps of monster cable the shop teacher had laying around and every kind of plug wire boot he could find. I watched him pry old wire ends apart and crimp them back in place.  You could NOT listen to the radio with the engine running.   The most amazing part....that thing would pull the house down......as long as you kept oil in it.     We don't see this sort of thing anymore.  For the best of course but people just aren't as inventive about getting a car going.  Now that just about any schmuck can get financed I guess there's no reason to.  

Where's gecko45 when you need him. He knew how to deal with these situations.

I've driven worse. 

I'd try that bug knowing my luck the shock from the skeet slinger would set it off right in my face.

Like anyone is concerned with drilling a hole in a pinto.
