  1. Yeah I liked that. I believe that is what is going on when he is outside and you hear gunshots from inside. I didn't sit there and replay the scene over and over to make sure I'm right though. It looks like between good ratings and breaking bad and mad men winding down (and the subsequent freeing up of cash for AMC), things are looking up for the series and we are still getting depth with more stuff going on.
  2. .223 wylde is similar to 5.56 in that it has more leade. It's actually very close to 5.56 SAM-R which is the chambering that the marine marksmanship team came up with. It will fire 5.56 just fine. How tight it is depends on the manufacturer and the reamer. In general given the hsitory of the chambering in competition guns, it is usually tighter. I wouldn't fire steel cased stuff followed brass in a .223 wylde chamber without trying it under casual circumstances first or giving the chamber a decent cleaning. A friend has a JP gun where they followed up some steel case with some soft brass stuff and ripped off the case rim. The brass stuff was very sub par, but a less dramatic FTE is the more common outcome. But JP makes osme accurate guns with tighter chambers. My AR15 armory barrel in .223 wylde didn't care. I also have an 18" 1:8 5.56 chambered barrel. Black hole weaponry also does 1:8 5.56 barrels.
  3. It could just have a removable block in it, or the bottom half could be molded with a non removable obstruction. The former would not suffice unter current AG guidelines unless the assembly is altered such that it could not be removed without effectively destroying the magazine, the latter would.
  4. It isn't supposed to make sense. It's supposed to be used as a political device to paint CC as uncompromising on reasonable gun legislation and/or to be able to say he vetoed a bill favorable to gun owners and is thus anti RKBA or at least give primary contenders the ammunition to do so.
  5. IS she going to carry it, and is she really weak with small hands? If it doesn't have to be compact, a lot of forum members own the S&W 1911 pro in 9mm and like it. Seems to run like a top out of the box too. IMO, every nighthawk I have seen has been a perfectly ok 1911 with a rather disappointing fit and finish for the price. If I were to buy one, I'd expect that it would run fine and give me buyers remorse regarding value. The EMP is a nice idea, but it's chock full of proprietary parts. Unless you are going to carry it, for small hands I'd recommend standard 1911 + slim grips + short trigger rather than go that route, but that's me.
  6. What hurts by the end of the day. THe only thing that is easily captured in a pair of shoes that affects lots of people are arch support and heel rise. Skechers has a LOT of shoew styles, that doesn't tell us much. cross trainers usual have an angled footbed. A falt footbed is usually preferred by most people with knee or back issues. Some keens are really flat. Vans skate shoes are really flat. But what hurts in particular?
  7. So from the thread so far, it sounds like the problem is you mixed up ammo when shooting, and blamed federal for the problems with freedom munitions ammo. BTW, if you are blowing primers, the popular place for them to wind up is in the trigger group. Check you don't have on in there getting in the way of things.
  8. Technically my last dealings are probably about 14-5 months out at this point and involved missing parts from a NIB product from midway. The entirety of my experience has been about 50-50 useful contact vs. a no or failure to deliver since I got the press in 2003. It's not a new issue, although the missing part thing has gotten a lot worse since 2008, I'm assuming due to whatever bad practices they had before then being aggravated by higher demand since then. I'd chalk it up to them having issues sending stuff to me in particular, but oddly enough they never have issues when I'm paying them for a product directly, and I ahve actually received one warranty item over the years, so... AT this point, I avoid their products, I just don't feel like dealing with the hassle. Outside of spare press parts, the only thing they have that I consider compelling are their powder measures. To get teh features and accuracy, you are talking a minimum of a $50 premium, which you can catch the measure on sale for < $70 fairly often, is a pretty huge premium.
  9. Look up constructive intent. It has been used federally for BS NFA charges, no reason it can't be used in NJ given the chapter and verse stated. Points 1 and 2 mean what they can convince a jury it means. If you ahve ever served on a jury in NJ, you know what kind of BS they tell the potential jurors with regards to the authority of the government and the court. Which is why I take jury duty seriously.
  10. I think your picture sums up why exactly. They have dimensions on the item which are probably LxWXH exactly as you laid it out, and the computer selected a box that can contain the longest dimension. IT doesn't know it is flexible. SO yeah, if you get the packaging survey email on this, fill it out, it will likely prevent this in the future.
  11. Yes, this isn't a gift to our side. They are removing the ability of a jury to make a judgment on the word reasonable.
  12. I'll give you my $0.02. Got a powder measure with a missing mount (the cheap stamped steel dealie) Said they would have a replacement to me... nothing. Had a powder measure tube become detached fromt eh powder measure... said they would send one.. nothing. Had a primer sled get screwed up by following their advice on how to get it to stop skipping primers, would not cover it. Had a brand new 9mm plate that would bind up 9mm in the holes wouldn't replace it, wanted me to send it in. Took forever for me to get out of them what they were going to do to it. Took 3 minutes of polishing to fix it, 45 minutes on the phone to get an answer about how to fix a known problem. Wouldn't replace a powder measure that had voids in the casting (told me it wasn't a problem, eventually replaced it, turns out it WAS a problem, just not something that would blow up your gun). HAd missing lock rings with my case feeder, the replacement never arrived. Bought a powder through kit for .40, the expander has issues. Found out they redesigned it because it didn't work right, they would not replace it with something that worked. Have they always been pleasant on the phone.. yeah. Do they actually provide good CS? Not really. I've gotten a few items out of them, but mostly the answer has been no. They are reasonably capable of providing technical advice. My out of pocket to fix their mistakes still kept it cheaper than a dillion, but that was when the price difference was bigger (well over $200 difference), at the moment, I wouldn't do it again, and the frequency of missing parts on NIB items from high volume official dealers is a joke. Also, form a corporate level, they get a defective part, they seem to be committed to using up how many ever they have on hand. They got a batch of drive hubs that had casting issues so they cracked. They knew of the problem, fixed it for new production, and kept on mailing out the bad drive hubs as warranty replacements until they got rid of them. IF the things lasted months before failing, I'd say that wasn't unreasonable if there werew supply issues, but these things were dying after a few hundred rounds or less.
  13. All the impact product line. Which also happens to make up the majority of the items that connect directly to keymod without putting picatinny rail in between. There are a number of third party rail segment makers for both tube mount and keymod. Keymod had a handful of people making sling adapters that are direct mount that tube mount doesn't.
  14. In 16" barrels, I've generally had slightly better performance from barrels that get two full rotations for their length. That might just be because the better at barrels don't tend to come in 1:9 at that length. Can't say I have seen a 1:8 or 1:9 14.5" though.
  15. Because mil spec is 1:7, and frankly 1:9, 1:7, and 1:8 stabilize most everything you can buy from the factory just fine. 1:9 in a 16" barrel might have issues with some stuff over 68gr. 1:7 might have some issues if you find any factory stuff under 50gr. People blow the issue out of proportion.
  16. I believe the only way for that to happen is for the head justice of the 9th to request it. He's pro rkba.
  17. I don't know about that. There is a big difference between haivng one guy close up shop and a concerted effort to shut down all FFLs. The two acts may be viewed in drastically different light by the supreme court, especially given that the one FFL is apparently now back in business.
  18. Yeah people suck at estimating the scale of things. All those guess how many whatevers are in the jar contest are a good example. WHenever I happen to run across one of those shows about how some common processed food is made always reminds me how many people the US has. When they dump a package of tomato paste that's abotu 25% of the size of my house, and that'll keep the aseembly line buzzing for the next 2 hours, and its' a product I eat maybe twice a year.... kind of puts it in perspective.
  19. A few reasons. 1) You seem to like the herters ammo, and I'm assuming that it's the blue nylon coated stuff. Which means it is probably a bit faster than berry's jacketed. I looked up some other people's velocities for it out of a couple of handguns, and using ballistics by the inch as a guide for velocity falloff/gain to compensate for the barrel elngth of your guns vs those I came up with a number slightly over 1150. 2) You seem to have gotten some nice groups hovering around the 1140 area. 3) Since aiming for single digit velocity targets with hand loading pistol is an absurd task, I rounded to the nearest ten splitting the difference. 1150. It's also about where most plinking ammo will fall from various manufacturers out of a 4" barrel. Also, I'd test your crimp and use a kinetic bullet puller to pull a seated and crimped bullet out. You don't want to be distorting the bullet profile (it's not necessary and may or may not affect accuracy), and you DEFINITELY don't want to compromise the plating (which WILL negatively affect accuracy). If you are scraping the plating, even if you are not going through it, bell the case more before seating. Taking a look at the berry's site, the 115 plated are hollow base. You should at least whip out the calipers and measure pulled bullet diameter vs new out of the box. BErry's are decently hard, but a bit too much crimp on a hollow base and it likely won't spring back as unsupported lead isn't going to be too springy. If it is squished, it won't necessarily conform to the barrel as well, which will reduce accuracy.
  20. No, how often do you hear about hospital slip ups and other such things. Once you are out of high school, there really isn't much cultural imperative to gossip about such things regarding people you don't know.
  21. Ok I didn't know it was that limited. Then drake's pretty much it. I don't think we have districts left that will argue the issue.
  22. If sample 8 is 1.14 at 1143, using 4.6gr, I'd try 4.5gr at 1.12. Note it's pretty close to the 1150 I suggested. You now know the velocity of something accurate using that bullet. You can aim for that velocity at a shorter oal that is more reliable, and if you change powder you can aim there and do ladder loads to find the sweet spot.
  23. Which can you do the math in your head faster for. Myself I can do MOA math faster overall for a .223/5.56 cartridge between 0 and 400 yards. Here's a page on the math for both http://www.scribd.com/doc/4617008/Mils-and-Moa-Simplified I've got inches in my head for size familiarity, and mils are 3.6" per mil at 100 yards, finer than that, and you are going with fractions of a mil. I just find MOA to be easier to create mental look up tables and skip most of the multiplying and dividing. If you are doing holdover via the reticle, this makes sense to me.
  24. It's pistol a low SD is something meaningful when you are dealing with using a cartridge where there is a lot of drop at range and 50fps at the muzzle may make a big difference whenb you want a 1" group at 200 yards. For pistol, it verges on meaningless, especially when comparing an SD of 5 vs 12. Heck, I've had a load with an SD of 30 that outshot another loading with an SD of 4 for pistol ammo. As for the OP, switching out guns really doesn't give us more data to make suggestions on. We now have insufficient data about two guns, and that's about it. I'm going to say that IMO, aim for a nominal OAL of 1.12". This is close to factory ammo in general regardless of SAAMI specs for 9x19, and it will run in pretty much anything as long as bullet profile is appropriate fro length, and crimp is good. For a load that does decently in both full sized and compact guns, I use 124gr bullets at 140pf out of my full sized baby eagle. That gets me just under 125pf out of my 3.5" traditionally rifled LS-9. I used titegroup to do it. IMO, looking at trends in the data you have produced, I'd hazard a guess that going below 1.12 OAL you might be choking up too far on the bullet and causing issues. SO 1.12" OAL, and aim for about 1150fps out of the 4" barreled guns. See how that does. My experience is tha 12' is about right to avoid issues with false readings from smoke while getting the chrono as close as you can for repeatability. Then get something to aim at, as firing on a different angle can alter the velocity by as much as 10% in my experience. IF you want to load a variety, I suggest you concentrate on 1.12-1.13" OAL, and leave most of the variety in charge weight. Then bring enough to shoot groups and chrono separately. One other thing, if the herter's is the blue tipped coated lead stuff, that's essentially a lead projectile and in my experience will be a bit more accurate as long as it is crimped properly and not driven too hard. MY experience for pistol accuracy is that lead > plated > jacketed at least when buying cheap components in bulk.
