  1. I'm open for anything. Don't know much about Rifle shooting. Guess I could always experiment.
  2. You guys have a suggestion for something that is pretty compact that will fit in a this range bag? It's a Midway Compact Range Bag. Ideally that can also see out to 200 yards shooting 223/556. Under 200 dollars. It's a tall order I know...
  3. This really helped. Thanks. 50/200 works for me as I can't shoot beyond 200. Seems versatile enough for the range I can use my AR at.
  4. Thanks I just printed this. Actually I would like to be at further than 100 yards. I would like to be for the furthest distance I can shoot which is 200 yards. With the target you listed above what does a 50/200 zero mean? It has the same Point of impact at 50 and 200 yards?
  5. I'm just trying to understand what the advantage of a spotting scope is compared to a set of binoculars. I like to minimize the amount of stuff I carry with me so a set of binoculars makes more sense. Is there a significant disadvantage to using a small/medium set of binoculars compared to a spotting scope? I shoot at Ft. Dix and furthest distance is 200 meters. Would like to try that distance eventually.
  6. Hey guys, just getting some advice and knowledge on zeroing a red dot site. Here is my issue. I don't have a spotting scope and don't really have the coin to buy a good one. I have a small little monocular that can see to 25 yards alright so that is furthest I can be for zeroing. I am using a 25 yard zeroing target I found online. But I don't really understand the instructions and they seem to be for irons specifically. At first I was WAAAAAY off, not even hitting a huge 2' x 3' target at 25yards. Eventually I got to here: These were the last 10 shots of the day before the final cease fire (Ft. Dix). I was told that I should be about 1.8" below the bullseye for a 100 yard zero. Should I be at that line where it says "300 Meters" on the target to be zeroed for 300 yards? And is adjusting to different lines below the bullseye good enough to know you are good for that particular distance? In other words how well does this 25 yard zeroing really translate to the actual distance you are zeroing for? OK, I'm rambling now, I'll let you guys talk. Thanks.
  7. Wow gun buying on reddit, now I've seen it all. LOL! Man, I really would love one of these and it seems the price is pretty good. But sadly, not enough coin from me. For those of you who buy post up how you like it!
  8. Only thing I can think of is cost of ammo. But if that doesn't matter go for it.
  9. I got you beat. First match I ever shot someone loaned me G19 mags for my 26. When I went to reload I kept trying to force the mag to go all the way in. Whole session stopped and people were asking what was wrong. "Mag won't seat!" I said. Yeah... Like I said I have you beat.
  10. His seems to chamber Wolf Steel rounds just fine and that is what I am comparing against because I know it worked in his gun. My rounds also worked flawlessly in a Springfield XD45, M&P45, Dan Wesson Patriot 1911, AR15 with 45ACP upper.
  11. Would this replace the current crimp/seating die I have in my Lee Pro 1000? Mine is three stations, not a forth that has a separate crimp die.
  12. I have this issue where my 45ACP rounds would go in freely into my Kimber 1911 barrel up until the last 1/8" or so. At that point a bit of force was needed to get it to fully chamber. And you had to really pull it out to remove it. I realized that because I was using flatpoints the shoulders were a little broader compared to a round nose and my bullet length was a little too long. I shorted the OAL and this made the round go freely into MY 1911 barrel. They shoot absolutely fine and have used them in matches. But I tried it on my friends Remington R1 and it absolutely will not chamber all the way (barrel removed dropping in by hand). It is a very tight fit. I measured the outer diameters and it seemed to be in line with a spec 45ACP and a factory ACP I measured against. Is this due to my crimp? Resize? Flare? OAL is good now and cannot go any shorter. Please help!
  13. I don't think anyone will top mine. I forgot my guns! Yes. No lie. I was in such a rush to meet my friend I just grabbed my range bag that had ammo, targets, all my eyes and ear gear, mags.... But NO GUNS! Thankfully he had his so we were still able to shoot. Even the guys at the next booth over let us shoot their AR15 and their Beretta PX4! Pretty awesome! What's the worst thing you left at home when you went to the range?
  14. I love the clean brass and the only part I hate about steel media is punching out all the primers prior to cleaning. That I simply do not have the time and will for. I am kind of a pick up and go type of reloader. My brass comes out maybe 80% as clean as what is seen in these pictures with standard dry media and some brass polish. Good enough for me. If I had the space and perhaps more time I do agree steel media is the way to go. As for the selling of the drum contraption there are a lot of people who build products in their home that mimic other products on a commercial level. I don't see the issue with it personally. Hmm.... on an alternate note though... maybe you could sell some of that shiny gold brass!!!
  15. So apparently 3.8gr clays behind a 124gr 9mm Bullets is not strong enough to cycle my Glock34.
  16. I'm not sure what the law is at all. But I'm quite sure a homeless man caught in a public park with a gun someone is calling the cops. Cops will come.Cops will take him away. He is homeless so he probably can't afford a good lawyer. Homeless man now lives in jail. That's the practical and realistic approach to the matter.

    New Springfield RO

    Great looking! Did you change the safety? Or is that stock? Man the grips and magwell made all the difference. It's still classy with a touch of "tacticool" to it. Congrats.
  18. Guys cut it out before you bankrupt me! Been eyeing the S&W for a while now.
  19. Nice. I feel I'm ready to take on new powders. I wasn't comfortable at first. Wanted to really get antiquated with reloading first before messing around with different powders, loads, etc. And now I want a 9mm 1911. Haha.
