Sorry, they all look like basically the same group with some targets having more rounds shot at them and 7 and 10 yards having more flinching rather than just technique issues. I doubt it is the gun as there is no significant difference between 5, 7, and 10 yards that would make a mechanical issue become apparent, go away, and become apparent again.

Giessele isn't the only good trigger, but a good trigger is worth spending money on. I have multiple brands, but the giessele SD3G is my current favorite.

Barrel length affects velocity. Velocity affects the time of flight, which affects the bullet drop at a given range. The ballistic coefficient of the bullet matters too. It really doesn't have much to do with accuracy beyond barrel harmonics. For that, there will be an optimum length, and longer or shorter is worse. It'll vary with variations in bullet, so.... you can chase it, but you use barrel weights for that, not altering barrel length.

Unless you find the converse boots on a super sale, I wouldn't buy them. I have found them to be very poor regarding tread durability, and I'm not walking on abrasive shingles.

I would encourage your friend to find an ambulance chaser. Then seek a sum in the low five figures. Most Universities can't mount a defense for under about $25k, and will cut you a check after some chest thumping. You can't punch someone in the face that needs a good punc in the face anymore, but you can sick a sleazy lawyer on them.

Possum hollow is okay, but that wasn't the one you saw. I can't remember it either. Personally I like the Rcbs trimmer with 3-way cutter. Faster than my possum hollow was on average, and easier on the hand in large batches. Since it trims and inside and outside chamfers, it is way faster than doing all three.

It can happen. Usually it just results in a teeny bit and some higher pressures. I've seen some pictures of some pretty serious setback due to administrative loading/unloading to the point I had to ask why would you put that back in. There are lots of factors like crimp, sealant used, how hot/damp/cold the ammo got for how long in storage, what gun you are using and how straight the path from magazine to chamber is, etc.

They are not official yet I believe Jim asked me where I hid the entry forms earlier this evening. Even so, if there are errors, email him.

Actually it's more like if you are d class it is bad, if unclassified or c and higher, it wont hurt you.

Wont fit tried to use a Gibson gig bag for that. Couldn't quite handle the length and the optics+pistol grip. 10/22 fit though.

*sigh* go look at the reamer dimensions. There are 5.56 reamers new out of the box that are tighter than some .223 reamers out of the box. Then you have things like .223 wylde and 5.56 sam-r which are tighter than 5.56 that are designed and intended to shoot 5.56. If you aren't popping primers, worst case is you are probably just wearing out your bolt and barrel a bit faster. Their solution to this is to buy a device to ream out the leade right through the chrome. Their answer to why you shouldn't care is that you are flame cutting it anyway. Also, signs that this article may just be written by someone who's measure of reality may not be all that relevant. 1) they start it with a filler page of irrelevant history. 2) The guy says don't believe round counts, and tells you a claim of 1000 rounds in a weekend is a lie or will destroy the barrel. FYI, lets say you do a two day class, 8 hours of range time a day. You'd average one shot ever 57.6 seconds to hit 100 rounds? That's one 30 round mag every 28 minutes.

Not really. For example all the plates at obrpc's knockdown steel can be set for rimfire (rifle at least) except for the large tombstone ones. The more they get the crap beat out of them the less this is true. The poppers and speed plates can get iffy for windy conditions. In the early days is set up so you could run rimfire rifle. It made it too easy for the shotguns, so I lost being the only one interested in rimfire knockdown.

It can knock down steel designed and set up to be knocked down by .22lr.

You can believe all you want. I don't see anything in the statutes' definition of a manufacturer that distinguishes between personal use and for resale. Federal law does. Perhaps the lawyers don't get back to you because they don't feel they can make a buck billing you for the simple answer of 'no'. Have people done it and not been caught? I'm sure it's happened. Did they broadcast their intention to do so on the Internet? No. It's pretty simple to sort out. Do it and then go tell the state police about it. We'll see how the court case goes.

Unless an anvil is missing, I don't believe their variation roundness/flaring of the cup will matter to a hand priming tool or manual filling of priming tubes. Pre 2008 they used to be my favorite.

Your guy was a hunter. .454 is a good handgun hunting cartridge. To him guns = hunting, and he only has eyes for things that make him happy. Big deal, that describes most people. Heck, he wasn't even fixated on something that is all that expensive. As a serious hunter, do you think he'd actually go hunting with it? If yes, it's not really the point of the OP's question. To playt he game though. Anything gold plated. By definition, it is to make it look more expensive, and is not durable and not intended for hard use. Anything black chromed. It is the poor man's version of gold plated. Although the odds of the purchaser just being poorly informed about the finish are higher. Anything that costs more than the car it arrived at the range in.

no problem.

This has been my experience. I called up about progress and was told one reference was not back even after they mailed out a second copy to them. They asked me if I wanted to pick another one. I declined and said I'd get on their case.

Serious shooting enthusiasts hand load. When you do do, a .454 casull revolver is incredibly versatile. Load up .45 lc light to full house .454 loads. Not a single person I have met who owns a .50ae or .500s&w has been a wealthy idiot. Most haven't even been serious collectors.

They don't have trouble knocking them down they have trouble hitting the target where they need to. Unless something is broken or misadjusted.

They already tax it. Excise tax.

Winchester should be fine. After the last shortage, the QC dropped a little. Duds went form maybe 1 in 10k to 1 in 5k as a rough guesstimate. Biggest culprit was missing anvils, so it is at least something you could visually check for. If they aren't of that vintage, the only issue is that they aren't quite as round as they used to be. They used to be awesome for a vibra-prime or the like and now have plenty that stick. Also, for tight brass they used to work well, but your odds of jsut crushing the primer cup on one side is much higher now. The roundness problem is something CCI always has had as well as wolf. CCI's cups are tougher though which made it less bad except for tube loading devices.

Different guns will like different things. One of my guns absolutely LOVES the cheap remington 55gr JSP as well as wolf 62gr (while they were using actual copper jacketed projectiles). None of my other guns shoot either nearly as accurately. Technically, a flat based jacketed soft point should shoot better than a same weight FMJ with similar QC applied. IT should have a higher BC and have a reward shift in weight to help. Doesn't mean your gun will like it. If you are looking for something affordable, I'd try hornady steel match. It's not cheap cheap, but it is within a reasonable range compared to m193/m855 brass cased clones and has decent bullets in it. The 55gr jhp rounds aren't too pricey, and the 75gr bthp rounds are about the cheapest you can find a good bullet loaded in, but still aren't bulk plinking ammo prices.

1) it isn't based off the luger. Show me the toggle. 2) Even if it was, find me anyone who set up a business manufacturing full atuo lugers. The germans tried it and had issues so canned it in favor of select fire broomhandle mausers. The guy is an idiot.

As long as a reasonable portion of hammer swingers show up in the morning, all the stage designers should be there and I have someone lined up to cover for me.
