I'll play. Not a factory gun, built the way I wanted it. It isn't heavy by any means.

OK, list of classifiers is CM 03-04 - 3V. CM 06-03 - Can You Count. CM 08-03 - Six. CM 99-11 - El Presidente. CM 99-10 - Times Two. CM 06-06 - Golden Bullet Standards. So in theory 88 rounds. I'd bring at least 100 just in case. I'd put it up on CJUSPSA.org, but I appear to have forgotten the password.

Trunks vent to the interior of the car. The interior of the car at the very least vents to the air intakes at the rear of the hood. That is assuming all your weather stripping is in good shape. Bears sniffers are a LOT more sensitive than ours.

I've tried dealing with them. He can keep his ammo, and I'll keep my money. If he discounts for pickup, that's new. He used to absolutely refuse to take anything off the shipped price AND you had to pay sales tax to boot.

OK, drop a 55gr bullet and drop a 75gr bullet. They drop at the same speed, just like everything else that doesn't have greatly differing friction from the atmosphere. Now cram as much powder in a .223 case behind each that you can without blowing up the gun. You will notice the 75gr projectile moves a lot slower. That means the time in flight to cover the same distance is shorter for the 55gr than for the 75gr projectile. That means the 75gr projectile has more time to fall before hitting the target. SO it impacts lower despite retaining more energy and being deflected less by wind (assuming everything else is the same, bullet profile can mess with both of those things). As for the 25/300 and 50/200 zeroing thing and them not performing well, they are based on a given projectile (i.e. military 55gr projectiles), and a given velocity. Military ammo has a specified velocity range to not be rejected, and it's reasonably tight. So for example, m193 ammo out of an m4 zeroed at 50 is about .3 inches high at 100, and about .7 inches low at 200. Zeroed at 25, it is about 5 inches high at 100, 10 inches high at 200, and isn't back at zero until around 350. m855 zeroed at 25 out of the same gun (heavier bullet moving slower) is at zero again at 300 yards. m855 out of 20" barreled m-16 zeroied at 25 is not back at zero until about 330. For a 16" barreled gun, most factory 55gr is pretty well behaved with a 50 yard zero being within an inch and a half high or low from 25 to about 230. If you want to know what to expect with your ammo, get a chrono and an external ballistics calculator. It makes life easier.

In my experience, the SP-01s I ahve seen ahve had more consistent fit and finish compared to the 75s I have seen. An sp01 with a good trigger job is a very nice gun.

If you attend any matches regularly, you might want to mention. Easy pick up at a match might draw in some more people.

OK, update on this. Got pricing sorted out with the folks who usually do the money and the section. Pricing is Normal price + $10. So if you are a CJ member and USPSA memnber, it would normally be $15, but will be $25 for this match. It covers the extra fees rounded up to the nearest $5 increment. Just a USPSA member, then $30. We aren't doing the sign up deal at the match. I'd post the list of classifiers, but I have to figure out a replacement for one as IDPA destroyed the mini mart prop I was going to borrow from old bridge. I should have that list by tonight and will post here and on the CJUSPSA web page.

I'm in for 2 15/30.

The platform has little to do with it, the ammo is over pressure.

There are two key differences for 5.56 and .223. First the brass. 5.56 has a thicker web and smaller case volume, or at leas it can. This is to deal withthe higher pressures soecced for 5.56. The 5.56 chamber is cut with a longer leade. This means the bullet mives farther before contacting the rifling. This gives the burning powder charge more space toexpand before pressure spikes. Theoretically, match .223 is tightest and 5.56 is te loosest, and .223 wylde, 5.56 sam-r, and a bunch if others in between. In reality, if you look at chamber cutter dimensions, the tightest one sold as 5.56 is tighter than the loosest one sold as .223. So there are no guarantees, just playing it safer.

Well I was a stupid optimist. Someone DID drag them out and DID shoot them with a rifle. Bonus, they weren't OBRPC's. The were CJRPC's and on loan to OB for a match. So we now have to replace them to the tune of several thousand dollars.

Reading this, I don't know if it is the case we want. The guy didn't apply for a permit. Had he applied, and been denied for no reason other than "you didn't provide us good enough reason", it would pprobably be a good case to apply due process to as I'm certain you oculd dig up someone who was arguably demographically the same except fo their connections who was approved.

I have some 14-15 rounders I made out of bushmaster 10 rounders. Even without my labor figured in (I'll throw it in for free as it was imperfecct, hence why some only hold 14), they cost more than $20 in parts and magazines. About $30 actually. You can have them for $15 a pop. I have 4 left I believe. I'll take the money and buy some of the $20 arms n ammo ones with them. There, I just offered you the best deal you are going to find and I woudl argue it is smarter to just buy the A-n-A 20 rounders.

EB opening the police range to the public? IIRC they have said something like that since at least 2000. Heck, I'm not even sure if it's the same facility any more. But i wouldn't hold your breath.

Yeah, but how big was the steel?

I agree with your interpretation of this event. However, you are, have been and continue to be rude, confrontational and impolite while assuming your opinion is supersedes all others. In short, when present in a police officer, the attitude the term "contempt of cop" was coined for and why a lot of perfectly law abiding people dislike police. If we annoy you so much. LEAVE. So you got my -1 to boot, your attitude sucks.

Actually yes you are. To the extent that you must provide your name. USSC decided that in 2004 in Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada. But that is only if your state has a stop and identify statute on the books, which many do. I'm guessing form this CA does not.

8 stages because the classifier was really quick and we had 90 shooters registered. So they put a second short stage on pit 6 with the classifier.

I think the disconnect is that the linked pdf is examining the state of the realestate market from an investment perspective and maximizing your asset value in the long term in exchange for a degree of risk. You on the other hand are looking at it from the perspective of paying as little as possible for a commodity and giving the minimum amount of your income to a bank as interest. From her perspective, with regard to a leveraged asset, there is cheap money and expensive money and the longest, cheapest lever has value. From your perspective, you want the shortest, cheapest lever you can get. Your plan is least risky, but her plan is the most flexible. You call it jumping back in the hole, but as long as you are sticking with a fractional reserve banking model to help grow the money supply, at some point you have to get back to lending. The author is, I believe , suggesting that looking at the metrics, you can expect lending patterns to get back to at least pre-bubble levels. Which in their opinion is a positive indicator that the market is at or near its bottom as historically those levels permitted slow steady growth. As far as unemployment, nobody EVER really has a rock solid job, at some point you have to bite the bullet and take risks. I suspect that most of this was written up before the most recent unemployment numbers. What had been the trend was a degree of stability interspersed with minor improvement. Combine the two, and you have what points to a stabilizing market that you can start making predictions about growth, and at least be looking at an asset that you can get your money back out of. Additionally, she does take it into account in a sideways sort of way. Basically in terms of employment, you aren't likely to see wages rising quickly, or people able to effectively increase their income by significant amounts quickly by job hopping. Those people are budgeting more conservatively. This is leading to a boom in the rental market and rapidly increasing rents. So unless those people opt for homelessness, they will either pay higher rents deciding that is the most affordable, or the market will toggle back to seeing the more fixed cost of a mortgage that also gains you an asset as being more sensible. The former scernario makes buying homes for renting out more attractive and likely to increase, the latter makes owner occupied sales increase. Another point she is making is that we've been focusing on the market as a national whole, and for the last good while, the markets WERE trending together and simply varying the rate at which they slid or built up surpluses. Now, you have some pretty severe differences in market in terms of growth, surplusses, prices trending up or down, etc. Some markets are much more ripe for long term gains than others. The federal government, like she says, HAS bought themselves time to figure out how to fix things. They also seem intent on pissing away that time doing nothing useful. From her perspective, all she thinks thhey need ot do is hold the line, which is a possibility. But do I agree with her? No, and I suspect lots of people who are interested in making money agree with me. I think the only place she has a legit point is that we may be getting real close to that sweet spot where you can earn the most money over the life of your investment with regards to rental properties. Outside of that, I think two key factors that she doesn't cover are the market effects that the last of the silent generation and the boomers are going to bring about, and the fact that gen Y are kind of screwed in terms of lifetime earning potential. The silent generation and the boomers are headed to the grave. They make up a large population, and heralded in smaller family sizes. They also still own a buttload of realestate. When they die, they are going to be putting that realestate on the market one way or the other and will contribute to inventory surplusses for probably the next 10-15 years. Those same boomers have been sitting on choice jobs for decades. Some will go away, and the rest have had gen Xers lined up waiting for their turn for a while, and that line stretches back to near entry level jobs. Those jobs will have massive pressure from even younger generations as they wait their turn, which likely isn't coming. Gen Y is going to be composed of marginal earners without something major changing. From my perspective that means it will be a LONG time before you see general bidding wars over properties, and unless you have a 3rd party footing the bill (renters), at best your property will keep up with inflation in terms of value. Even at current low rates, that makes it not an investment IMO. If I could, there are definitely places I would consider getting into the landlord business.

I've got my problems worked out. My main gripe is it used to just be the occasional thing that was few and far between. I ordered a lot of hornady gear last year, and ran about 50% on something being missing from the box or defective (mostly not all the parts being there). To make it more annoying, their CS is pretty hit or miss with regards to being nice/conforntational, helpful/clueless, and actually delivering you any replacement parts. I think all of the above has been made worse by them having higher sales volume.

Because sportsman's guide is functionally brain damaged. I tried dealing with them about things in the past, and essentially their rules are made up. Near as I cna tell, rather than have an time flagged per state, each inventory item has a restriction code. That code represents a grouping of states. An item gets whatever code was keyed in by some data entry monkey, right or wrong, and there is no means of fixing it. The best ones are when there are two equivalent items with different restriction codes so brand A of an item cna come to a state, but brand B of the SAME THING cannot.

Also, as long as stuff is impacting the berms, you can shoot rifles in the pistol pits. I believe pit 4 & 5 can get you a 25 meter range. IIRC you can get to 32 yards in pit 5 without safety issues.

I'm not a glock fan, but the g19 points better for me than any other glock. I'm not the only one with that experience for some reason. That and 15 round magazines would make me consider it over a full size in NJ. However, for the CZ, I can't say that there is any reason to go for a compact model. The full sized versions all are a better experience in actual use IMO.
