Old School

Old school is good! Practice throwing the bolt quickly for a reload.

Doing this at a range with serious "line disciple" (eg, Cherry Ridge) will be difficult. Doing it at a range which is safe but has freer rules (eg, Monmouth County, perhaps Ft Dix) is easier. I've seen guys have them set up at 100 at CR. One guy put his gun on his Rock BR locked it down then put a dowel down the barrel and then set up the crono during a line change. The readout box was on a tether that sat on the bench. It seemed like a lot of effort, so yeah, shooting at a "looser" range would be easier. You guys are TOTALLY over complicating this! I chrono pistol at CR all the time. The Chrono has a 15 foot cord between the light sensor and the read out. Put the read out on the bench an run your chrono out to the end of the cord. When your out with the chrono and tripod look back at the bench to line it up. Put your target out and you're set. The target is only a point of reference you don't even need it but it's nice. Just REMEMBER shoot 2" high with a scoped rifle or you run the risk of buying a new chrono. It's really rewarding to see your results. If I can do this at CR you can do it at almost any outdoor range.

Maks, Chrony is one of the most valuable pieces of equipment I have. Really tells a story. If you want stuff measured give me a shout. I have a basic unit so you have to record each shot yourself and do the averages and standard deviations manually. One thing is you need a cheap tripod, and the chrono mounts right to that.

Totally agree. If the bullets are designed for a specific cartridge.

It was great shooting with Mike as he showed me the ropes. As a matter of fact he had to show me the ropes twice. :oops:

Tony I agree that those bullets look like they should be seated a little deeper. I would think that where the angle breaks for the boat tail should be at the lower extreme of the neck. Now that being said....308 and 30-06 bullets are the same.

The cannelure is there for a place to put a crimp. A crimp on a cannelure is used to prvent bullet set back under recoil. But not all bullets have cannelures as you know. So... as long as your bullets are not setting back and you load to the same OAL all the time you will be OK. The reason you must be consistant is the air space above the powder will change your pressures. So what I am saying is if you shoot the bullets loaded to this depth and you decide to seat the bullets deeper in the future you'll have to start developing your load all over again. Additionally if you ever decide to crimp you have to develope your load over again as well because the additional resistance of the bullet being forced from the neck of the case. I hope this all makes sense. Since it seems these are plinking rounds and you are shooting them in a bolt action there are only two considerations regarding OAL. #1 that your bullet is not too close to the rifling in the throat of the chamber(because the bullet needs a little freebore to drop chamber pressure). and #2 that loaded cartridge feeds from your magazine if you decide to use it. Have fun and be safe. Frank

Been there, done that, got the tee shirt! No problem with unemployment. Go get your permit.

Matt, Matt, Matt! Fishing and hunting always come first, until you learn to cook those paper targets.... :clap:

Ed: Don't believe that "baby killer" Vietnam shit! Anybody with a weapon is a threat! When you see kids w/ weapons and suicide bombers, they're out to kill you. FS

You know the funny thing about our universal weapons system? A 20mm cannon handles any of those threats.

M-1 Carbine is banned by name. Garands M-1 rifles are legal.

Nice shooting! Please forget about the Hogue slip-on. It's a concealed carry pistol, why make it any wider or give it more drag on your clothing? Man up to the stippling it's there for your protection. Wear a glove for practice.

BTW Since last Sunday was Easter and there was no sign-up at Cherry Ridge. There will be a sign-up this Sunday.

This is the true story and not a joke? Sickening if so...

OOPS! Guess GLOCK 19 mags aren't going!

Could Someone Lead me to the Federal Statute that allows me to transport a handgun on an airplane through a NY airport. I will be leaving and arriving from a NY airport to Georgia want to bring a handgun with me. Of course, all transportation laws will be followed.

What kind of firearm and where is the carbon build up?

Heavily-Armed Cartel Attacks Mexican Army; Weapons Used Show U.S. Gun Laws Not To Blame At the end of March, troops of a major drug cartel launched a series of attacks on military personnel and installations in a half dozen cities in the northern Mexican states of Nueva Leon and Tamaulipas. Fortunately, things did not work out as the narco-thugs had hoped. At least 18 of them are now taking the kind of siesta from which there is no awakening and, at last count, only one Mexican soldier was injured. Contrary to the notion that the cartels depend on semi-automatic rifles bought illegally in the United States, the cartel conducted its attacks with a variety of weapons that cannot be legally bought anywhere in our country. As the Los Angeles Times reported, "In coordinated attacks, gunmen in armored cars and equipped with grenade launchers fought army troops this week. . . . The army said it confiscated armored cars, grenade launchers, about 100 military-grade grenades, [and] explosive devices" in addition to a large quantity of ammunition.

#1 No way I'd travel to that 3rd world Country... #2 Americans should stay out of Mexico... #3 People who do illegal drugs are supporting Narco-Terrorism and should be delt with harshly...

:naughty:

No Comment! Just the kind of thing that needs to be remembered in November!

This thread should answer all your questions and it has a photo. viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2327 You do not need a team. In fact, if you are too good, they split up teams. Typically, your name is called as it comes up in the rotation. Old School: I'll shoot with you. Just bring some light loads and we are GTG. Mike- I'll send you a PM tommorrow. Might go 9mm If I don't have some GOOD 45acp sorted out.

Old Col., How does this work? Do people shoot in teams? Want to put a team together?
