Hello, good to have you among us.     What do you shoot with the 22 TCM?

Not sure if it matters on the 300 BO, but my 10.5 pistol AR required experimenting with buffer weights. I also installed a Micro MOA Govnah to help dial in the gas port diameter for suppressed and unsuppressed. What length is your barrel? What length is your gas system?

I think it is highly unlikely this country would be invaded due to it's size and population  If you add Canada to the math North America is larger than Russia.  There isn't a military in the world that could control such a vast land mass with such a heavily armed populace.     How long before the grid is irrelevant anyway?  With the rapid advances in locally produced electricity via micro solar array coupled with further advances in the technology over a few decades the current dependence on the grid for power shouldn't last much longer.  Maybe another 30-50 years I would say.   

There is a sign kinda like that at a sub shop on Fort Campbell boulevard. I haven't eaten at Subway or Jersey Mikes in a long time because I prefer to go where my 2A rights are welcome.

Thanks for joining the forum. We have lots of smart people in here.

Jeez, what a bunch of crap.  

This scenario assumes that our agricultural exports as well as those of Canada would cease to be strategically important to the rest of the globe after such an event occured.  If North American agriculture stops there would be a food crises in many countries, and global food prices would be effected.   I predict that we would be aided by our stronger allies to fix the grid because that would restore global stability and in turn security in much of the world.  I would hope so anyway.     Certainly in the short term we would be hosed, but the long term impacts would be too disastrous for the rest of the planet to not help in some shape or form.  Probably. 

I would be willing to try a box of them if prices stay around 50 bucks for 100.  Not as earth shattering as I had hoped, but maybe they will shoot really really really good and have really really really good terminal performance down to 1500 fps or so.       .308 cal 220 grain with a G7 of .325 vs Berger .308 230 grain with a G7 of .364 is sorta close.

Welcome to the board.  You have an impressive amount of training.  

Good to have you with us.  

Seems like a neat bullet design.  Any company that uses fruit and water as test mediums for proof of ballistic performance is suspect in my book though.  

They are going to start teaching people to pronounce their name correctly.  It's Horn-ah-dee not Horn-ah-day.  

Even if you do find people that want to train, making sure all the personalities mesh can be tough. 

Had a good time today fellas.  We will have to do this again sometime.  

Thanks, that actually looks really helpful. I feel kinda dumb for not thinking about that.

Ya'll are awfully fast to judge someone around here without knowing too much about them.

I'll be there. I thought there was no such thing as minor or major concussions.

Thanks for all the replies.     Money is tight.  Moving targets sound great and I would like to hear more about how to build/design something like that.     Right now my favorite targets are cardboard boxes covered in cheap T-shirts with balloons inside to simulate shooting a target to the ground.  I ordered two  diamond shaped AR500 targets that fairly well represent the mediastinum for handgun shooting.  I figure we can use the balloons for 0-5 feet and might be able to use the steel at 10-15 depending on the angle and ammo.     For rifles I think we will again use cardboard boxes and steel although I've never shot steel very close.  Again I suppose it depends on the angles.     I've got mixed feelings about the Vikings Tactics barricades.  I've used them a good bit at work, but I always felt like it was better to pull a vehicle out onto the range to learn to shoot around and from it or make some plywood walls with window cutouts.       The specific scenarios I'm thinking about are known assailant assault and battery, home invasion by unknown individuals, car jacking both in car and in parking lot. Where else do people get shot or attacked that I'm missing.  I don't think we have the money to setup an active shooter scenario, maybe a temporary one.  

Right on, that's just down the road.

I wouldn't send it in.

Maybe it will have collector value in 50 years?

I dig it!  

I'm not familiar with that firearm, but maybe a bad extractor?

Anyone have any good ideas for range setups for realistic training? I have access to private land and the owner wants to build a berm. I want to be able to setup targets based on ealistic self defense scenarios i.e. Home invasion, car jacking etc.
