How is a shitty internet Connection am invalid argument? Real world example: internet goes down every time the wind blows to hard. Persists for months until the cable company finally tracks down the line problem. How does the cloud fix that?

I'm going to bet this turns out to be nothing particularly useful, especially for being more represented in otherwise asymptomatic people. Mainly because loss of taste and smell tends to go along with age. The patients are likely all younger because the old folks don't notice losing what they didn't have or didn't have a lot of. So they self select themselves out of the pile of possible complainers.

Also, it's always useful to check that you don't have a fake. https://www.aimpoint.com/support/counterfeitcopies/how-to-recognize-a-fake-aimpoint-sight/

Oooh wonderful. So that means his cable, DSL, fiber or whatever isn't a single point of failure? The cloud is almost never down. The cloud is also never 100% up. It's always broken for someone. ALWAYS.

Yeah, useless permits if you can even get them. I'm tempted to apply and see if they bill me without delivering a usable permit. Sue them for theft by deception, add in every minute spent dealing with the BS as damages.

Cherry picking? Heck you don't even need ot go to cherry picking. They say a lot withough explaining their number. It rose 5.2 and 6 percent compared to neighboring states without legalized weed. Like did the non weed states see zero increase and they saw 5.1 and 6? That's what they like to imply. Or did every state see an increase, but the weed states saw 5.2 and 6 percent more of an increase. In that case you are talking about 101% in the non weed stated and 101.5% in the weed states. Which is much less dramatic. Either way there's a reason they talk around the methodology without using clear simple language or technically accurate language. Lots of "things were done.. to control things".

That is some nice wood on that top one.

He may also be technically correct in that he doesn't bother having anyone forward any kinds of complaints on to him. I mena is anyone complaining if you stick your fingers in your ears and say "NAH NAH NAH I'M NOT LISTENING" over and over?

Yeah not sure why. The main goal was to create a legal cartridge for a bunch of states for hunting with the ar platform that was more economical than .450 bushmaster. I think we are in the wrong region to judge popularity or success of it.

cz-75, baby eagle, eaa witness and other cz-75 like guns usually work for a lot of hand sizes. If there is going to be an issue it will be reach to the trigger for small handed people. The sig p365 is really quite teeny. As is the beretta nano and other carry oriented small 9mm pistols. For small handed people I know who have had grip size and trigger reach issues, the full size S&W M&P with the small grips seems to work well for them. I'd put all the full size guns with modular grips for ergonomics and metal mags with them set up for the smallest grip size. The reality is that a double stack 9mm magazine is not particularly girthy.

You need an FFL to manufacture ammo for sale. Big federal felony. Don't do it. As for the original topic, you can use small rifle or small pistol magnum primers for ammo that requires small pistol primers. For small pistol vs. small pistol magnum, in general the difference is mostly the cup. It might make a bit bigger of a flash. Usually you'll pick up maybe 25fps at the chrono. I've never experienced issues pressure wise, but I'm usually solidly within SAAMI pressures for the cartridge. Small rifle definitely has a bigger flash. Back off a bit and try it and work back up to your desired velocity. I'd stay away from the CCI 5.56 primers. Just because they are quite hard. Powder substitution is harder. Occasionally you can get ahead of the scrum for scarce powder by working up loads for something with no load data for the cartridge you want powder for. However, this usually requires you to have easy range access and components to spare. For example, last big panic, amongst some of the USPSA type shooters who buy their components 10k at a time, they started using alliant e3, which to date still has no published pistol data from alliant. But most pistol powders are also shotgun powders.

What’s 7.62x39 have to do with 350 legend? 350 legend was designed to comply with hunting laws in the Midwest. 7.62x39 doesn’t.

So they are releasing prisoners from county jails. But there will be consequences for violating the lock down. What will they do? Send you to jail and then let you right back out? Fucking geniuses.

Only if trump wins or SCOTUS publishes a really favorable ruling over the summer.

The 308 will perform better from 200-300 yards even at the lower velocities. However, the projectiles tends to be designed for optimum performance somewhere between 2800-3000 FPS with adequate performance at around 2400fps, and basically bullet diameter expansion sub 2000fps. With the shorter barrel you are looking at peak velocity just over 2400fps. Velocity, drop, and bullet design leave you with a 0-300 yard usable range. Which a .223 gun will stay within the sweet spot of the projectile design 0-400, be much flatter shooting and easier to aim and hit with a dot out to 300 yards. And do it in a smaller, lighter, cheaper package with better mounting options, faster mag changes, higher capacities, and let you carry more ammo in less space. The socom looks cool, but practically it’s functional but sub optimal.

They are close enough. Sectional density and bc are slightly different, but not different enough that once you kill a bunch of velocity you get wildly different results. Go chrono it. Between bleeding gas and the 16" barrel, the ballistics wont be terribly impressive. What it can di that those can't is shoot heavier bullets, but I'm guessing you aren't feeding it 175gr ammo.

.308 was designed for a 24 inch barrel. Based on the dudes with a rifle, a chop saw, and a chrono, with a 147gr load you are down to around 2400-2500 FPS. Which is basically what you get out of a 150gr 30-30, or a mil-spec 7.62x39 cartridge out of an ak. Except in a bigger, heavier rifle.

I like the look of the socom, but in reality it’s just not great from a practical standpoint. By going to 16” you are hitting 30-30 velocities. Or 7.62x39 velocities and doing it in a bigger gun that cost more. Also, rocking the mags to seat them is SLOW. Then there is the amount of muzzle flash, and the not great optic mounting options, and the garand thumb. It looks cool, but it doesn’t add up to good.

The instructor is full of it. If it takes 1000 rounds to break in a gun, there's something wrong with it. Period. Now to trust it as reliable, that's a different matter. IMO ~500 rounds will be enough that anything defective or with metalurgical issues that aren't going to take thousands of rounds to show up will show up. The p320 x5 legion I'd just take it apart, clean and lube per factory instructions. I'd take the ammo you want to use with it and shoot a box or two to see if you get any malfunctions. If you get failure to return to battery fully, check you aren't making contact with the slide catch and if you aren't, swap to the heavier of the two included springs that came with the gun. It ships pretty tight from the factory and may need the extra oomph until it is broken in a bit. Most mass produced guns today will either run out of the box or have issues pretty rapidly. The only real exception to that that I'm familiar with are crappy extractors in modern 1911s. Which is why many big manufacturers went with a more moder spring loaded style extractor rather than the traditional tensioned design. For example Springfield uses a hardened part that is not proper spring steel and is machined in a way to be put under tension when inserted, but it loses some spring aroudn ~2000 rounds, and wills tart having extraction problems with less than full power, full weight loads.

D. You want a follower you can check unloaded state with by feel. Also, outside of the 870, your follower may be total crap. I like my stoeger m3k, but the follower that came with it isn't even as thick as the standard plastic 870 follower.

I know there are at least a few unquestioning democrat faithful who are finding out what they voted for and that stuff doesn't work like their side claims.

Lots of people finding out why the laws in NJ suck currently.

.40 used to be my go to round. When you are shooting handloads, it is a VERY versatile cartridge. But it's not going to be my primary caliber anymore. 3 gun rewards 9mm, and the peer pressure and component costs finally got to me. A few more 9mm guns will be going into the safe. I don't think .40 will be going away, but with most PDs switching to 9mm, 9mm once fired brass has been getting cheaper, and .40 has not.

Another data point, but a vendor I just ordered from is going into back order because their machines are stopped waiting on copper strip from.... guess where?

The issue came up while waiting for NICS percolate through the NJ quagmire. It's a bunch of smaller increases in demand colliding with the fact that a big lead shipment from china was late. This affected manufacturer's ability to deliver, which affected distributors, etc. Now you will have other covid related measures impacting manufacturing, sales, distribution and delivery. I wonder if we'll have primer supplies impacted. If there's ever been a factory job that has social isolation baked in, it's gotta be booking primers.
