  1. You're good, but I figure you don't hold a candle to an inbred camel jockey with an AK
  2. Looks like a good resource. Those curves will most likely vary by powder type. I get pretty tweaky with rifle stuff. I usually just shoot them over a chrony. Not sure I'll do that with pistol loads.
  3. Handloads.com makes me wanna pull my hair out. Even though Quickload is seldom dead accurate, it does let you vary things and see their effects. I would much rather use real pressure tested data. I need to play with barrel length in .45 and see how much difference it makes.
  4. I have a pistol rest. I'll bring it if we manage to hook up at the range.
  5. Yeah. I have them with 3 different brands, including Leupold. A lot of different companies private label them.
  6. Most scopes are nitrogen filled. Never take them apart.

  7. It's under "location". Have at it. It was just a suggestion.
  8. Whadday say you guys take this up when Daniel's not in a friggin' war zone???
  9. ... and 6.8 AR. He's having a tougher time with it
  10. If you shoot left handed, you ARE gay. Everybody knows that
  11. I know a couple of hot lesbos, and a bunch of hairy legged ones. Better off sticking with the Internet.
  12. The G36 slaps you around pretty good. I'll probaby carry it quite a bit because of weight, but will shoot the 1911 more once it's working.
  13. I think it's a combination of plenty of case volume and relatively low pressure. I haven't played with anything other than 230 grain bullets so far. Since I have the luxury of using Quickload, I can play with loads using the short barrels on two of my guns. Some of the loads that work well with a 5" barrel will most likely just increase muzzle blast with short barrels. I haven't played with it in Quickload yet. My poweder selection WAS based a lot on percentage of powder burned. That's going to be a function of burn rate and time in the barrel (I think). I didn't chrony anything, but know that my loads were a little faster than factory because of the difference in recoil. There were no pressure signs on the brass, so I think i have them in the pocket. With my loads, slight differences in OAL made big differences in peak pressure (in Quickload). So, they're all loaded very close to max OAL. I may play with different powders down the road, but will rely heavily on Quickload to tell me if I'm screwing up with my short barrels.
  14. It can be called marriage as long as your wife isn't a guy. The rules can be bent, as long as we get to discriminate against the folks we don't like. Besides... if we allow gay marriage, there will be semen flowing in the streets
  15. You have some good 'uns in there. Congrats for keeping all your fingers
  16. I loaded 404 rounds this weekend. All were checked with the chamber gauge. Four failed that test due to seating issues. I don't know if they're bad enough to jam up one of my guns, but I'll know who they are when I shoot them. BTW... for something that's a little on the cheesey side, the Lee turret press rocks for loading pistol ammo. I would have to shoot a lot more to justify a progressive.
  17. God has no business in government.
  18. Make everybody pay for one idiot's mistake. The owner should run for congress as a Democrat. He would fit right in.
  19. I went thru Jim's class too. It was just him and me. We had a blast. Can't say what one of his normal classes would be like, but we did a lot of shooting. Also some self defense stuff before we got down to the range test. I highly recommend him.
  20. It has changed quite bit since then. Magpul ACS stock, Eotech 512, and backup sights. Oh, and a muzzle brake.
  21. Yep. Talo should replace the gun and cover the FFL fees, if any. They are the ones that basically ruined a new gun (in terms of getting it fixed under warranty).
