If you're comparing recoil and muzzle blast between an M44 and a benchrest rifle in 338 Lapua, it might be close. :D

I'm very pleased with my Rock Island. It is accurate, and has been 100% reliable. I am under no illusion, however, that it's fit, finish, and accuracy potential are on par with a $3000 custom gun. I'm also happy with my Chevy. It's reliable, and runs great. I also don't think it would compare favorably with a Ferrari. I'm glad they make items at different price points for different tastes.     Bottom line, if you want the very best available, you are going to have to shell out a lot of money. In the end, it's up to you to decide whether that last bit of fit, finish, and accuracy is worth the extra dough.

My truck is old! :D

Why not get a written estimate from your body man and submit it to her insurance company. At least, you can compare his with her adjustor's estimate to see if they are in line with one another.   Nothing wrong with pocketing the check from the insurance company, and driving the damaged car if that's what you'd prefer doing. You will have a car worth less money than before the accident, but will have been compensated for the difference. Not really different than "trading down" in car.

Yet another kick in the crotch for left handed people everywhere.

You got me there. I'm no metallurgist. I don't really know the difference in metal castings and metal injection molded parts. :shrug:

I didn't write it. I just copied and pasted it from another site.

If it's one of you guys, I apologize. It just struck me as funny.

No. You could commission a machinist to build a vehicle to your high standards. Makes about as much sense as you looking down your nose at the majority of people who carry standard factory built guns.

Do you drive a car? :doh:

CDNN is good to go. Heck, it wouldn't hurt to ask your local dealer what he can get one for. He may be able to get one for less money once you factor in what he charges for a transfer. Can't hurt to ask.

Let us know what you learn.

Nope. Cheap rifle, cheap ammo.....I just shoot it as is.

You have a crock pot?   Here it goes:   1 lb ground deer (browned) 2 cans pinto beans (drained) 2 cans tomato sauce lemon juice black peper salt cumin chili powder dried, diced onion cilantro garlic powder Tabasco sauce (optional)       Season ground meat with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, diced onion, garlic powder, and cilantro, and brown in skillet.   Add drained, canned pinto beans, tomato sauce, lemon juice, more salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, diced onion, cilantro, and garlic powder. Add Tabasco sauce if you like it spicy.   Add browned, ground meat.   Stir, and cook for 6-8 hour on low in crock pot.   My family loves this easy recipe. You'll need to decide amounts of each ingredient based on your preferences, as I do not measure anything.

I once came home from vacation, and somewhere, my dog had picked up a carcass FULL of fleas. I asked his vet, and they sold me a pill. Within minutes of ingesting said pill, fleas began falling off him, and he was flea free the next morning. I wish I could tell you the brand of the pill, but I do not remember. I'll be a vet could tell you however.

I've seen several come and go at our office. I've yet to see one of them work properly and not leak for any length of time. I'm with 56FordGuy. I'll stick with my Bunn.

This is apparently how one is supposed to dress when attending a gun show. Anybody know why that is? :shrug: 

Let's see a 25 yard group with this ammo.

A $20 Timex will keep perfect time. Why do people buy Rolexes? Same thing.

You have a link to this data? :shrug:

Wow! You are in our thoughts and prayers. Hang in there!

My 4th edition (50th Anniversary) Sierra Manual shows 27.2 max for all 55 grain projectiles, and also lists this as the preferred hunting load at the bottom of the page.   This is also as high a velocity as any on the page.   Perhaps I need to update.   I do appreciate your information. :up:

Please explain. I always thought that lots of times, a compressed load took full advantage of the space in the cartridge, and denoted a satisfactory powder for a given bullet/cartridge combo.   Anyway, how 'bout the m855 loads? You got any suggestions?

I like Jeff Daniels, but Jim Carey just ruins any movie for me.

Where could a fellow find load data for ss109 projectiles? I mainly have IMR powders on hand. Also have a jug of W748.
