It was shooting good groups. Then it wasn't. I can't figure how the picture you just posted could even shoot his "bad" groups.
-
What Magic said. It's not an ogive/lands issue, at least not the one from the other thread. I would send it back. Good chance, after checking all the obvious, that its something you can't fix anyway. Back when I was getting into Grendel, Liberty cut a bunch of chambers wrong on some AR Stoner branded barrels. I believe it affected the Libery brand as well. The only solution was a recall. Frankly, they provided a crappy fix.

The NRA gets more mileage out of the threat of costing votes. Yeah, they're efficient and pretty effective more times than not. It's why they get more money from me than the Repubs.

Could be. Ain't nothing lower than a Politician, no matter who they are lying to for votes. The base of voters keep them acting right. That is the essence of our (you and I) long standing argument. The party platform pushes these slimeballs to support what the base wants. Gun rights gets Republicans votes. When it comes to rights being up for debate, I'm with you 100%.

Probably correct. But, the "politicians in the NRA's pockets" narrative (this thread) is 100% Democrat. So is the "movement" to repeal the second amendment.

It may make a good varmint caliber. May even be a good White Tail gun. Just saying that if you are going to exploit the true benefits, it's a reach out target caliber. The Grendel is probably a better hunter because of the bigger bullets. I own two of them, which is a good reason for me to pass on the 224. Both of my Grendels are still supersonic at 1000 yards, and both are match barrels.

Democrats ain't real good at math.

I'm over it now

I'm offended. Gonna need counseling now. And I'm selling my shotguns.

Yep, It's early. Not worried about jump. Not worried about doing something lightweight either. The caliber was designed for long range, and that means heavier guns. It's not a sport caliber. I haven't read much at all on the caliber, and haven't even checked to see if anybody is shooting a lot of 90 grain in competition these days. I just know that the bullets fly well. And it would be great to shoot t in an AR15 without a Bob Sled. No problem making a semi-auto accurate enough.

I may go for one. I have spent some time stretching the legs on .224 bullets. You need to go to 90 grains to stretch to 1000 yards. And that won't fit in an AR mag. I had to run my AR in single shot mode. This caliber was born with thinking similar to the Grendel and some other reachout calibers. Shorter and fatter case to hold higher BC bullets. In this case, 90 grain .224 ballistics in an AR that works like an AR. I'm good with that. Just wanna play with the 90 grain ballistics some first. Last time I talked to Froggy, he was building a 90 grain gun for 1000 yard competition. Kinda got some faith in it just because of that. I WON'T build one to shoot deer or hogs. If I do it at all, it will be for precision shooting.

Speaking of suicide. It would be hard for the Dems to kill themselves off faster than they are right now... except for that.

Didn't think you were. You know this bunch. You're gonna get some opinions
-
I will finish going thru my stuff, and getting backups of the few things I don't have stashed anywhere else. I haven't linked to their site since the FU email.
-
Yep. They deserve what they get. My stuff is still out there. Just checked.
-
Well... they're way too stupid to just secure the schools. I have said it before. You can't sneak a .380 into an East St. Louis titty bar, but you can shoot up a school with an AR-15. I swear politicians get dumber every day.
-
They sent me an email about holding my images hostage. My response was F*** Y**. Haven't answered any emails since. Got no use for them anymore.

Her blumpkin rate. Welcome to Austin.

I've always said, the dumber they are... I'm thinking she's gotta be fabulous.

Not without some propellant behind them

Stringers. They use local folks in a lot of cases
-
One of these days, somebody's gonna mug you just for all the cool weapons you're carrying that day
-
You know... I figure if anybody ever shoots up a building full of lawyers, they will stop trying to ban "assault weapons".

Sometimes our fellow gun owners do more harm than good...

What signs? I am usually so focused on the task at hand that I don't notice any signs. Good thing I carry concealed, and it never comes up. -
