Old School

That's the trick It's all about Zen

Bobby - No trick...LOL I had so many available matched cases and needed to load four different loadings plus I'm mega cheap! I figured 4 rounds was definitive enough for me. CtC I didn't measure as this was obviously my best load and wind sux. That's a Sightron SII 6-18 I think. I'd have to look at it Being the purist you are I'm going to make you wretch.... With a little more work and I want to shoot with the benchrest guys to brak their balls.

Some of you guys know I shoot a 24" heavy barreled AR for distance Well I've been struggling to group well with 69gr bullets in a 1:9 barrel. Well I think I'm there. It was ungodly windy and I may have introduced some error. But here's the rifle and group.

I know they used to...But the NRA may have range plans. BTW may be setting up a range in my yard for the neighbor's girls.

Shawn - I love the bow and have made mega kills. People under estimate the lethality. In many instances it is my choice. Good luck

Agreed...I love my 1911s but for ease of operation for defense use a GLOCK.

Yes this is a mutual admiration society!

LMFAO

Lying sack of shit just out right lies

Ruger Mk I pistol new $89 1972

Currently I reload in a progressive 223. 9mm. 45acp All carbide dies and all lubed I just throw a hand full of cases in a coffee can Spray in Hot Shot once or twice and shake them up...Repeat

Damned Bryan....MSRP as listed on Timney site less 20%

Good go get him!

I'm watching this thread...just want to see if the little bastard steals my camera...LOL

To your point exactly Vlad. There is so little unsupported chamber and a bolt head that encloses the cartridge head it's pretty over built. And yes the over pressure indications you described are what I would expect as well.

So you didn't fire it? Sure it'll fit just fine. And a match chamber would be the worst senerio..

I recognize your doubt. But let me say I don't want to be the test victim. And I won't load to standards that would result in spike like I would expect and I'm not afraid to push the envelope, really. My hunting load for 30-06 were 150 gr bullets approaching 3000fps, just short of there. But all scaled, couple for sight in and a couple for hunting. not a steady diet...

Most of you guys know enough not to shoot 5.56 in a 223 chamber but I just want to share. In an effort to achieve max accuracy I'm working on max cartridge length In my 223 Rem heavy AR So I make dummy loads with bullets hanging out and push them in to the chamber to see how long I can hang out the bullet. Well...I decided to do the same thing with one of my 5.56 NATO chambers HOLT SH!T Yes I know the differences in chamber dimensions, I can read... But on my rifles there is .110" (measured with my half assed method) difference in free bore. Well what is the consequence? 5.56 relies in massive pressure drop allowed by the free bore So a NATO round fire in a 223 Rem chamber is subjected to a massive pressure spike as the bullet hits the lands. Just thought I'd share. When you're told not to shoot NATO 5.56 in a 223 Rem it's no BS. On another note I'm impressed with AR design. All rifles have unsupported chambers to some degree. But working on the AR, the amount of NON-support is the least I have ever seen.. OS

John the only thing I know is he did get lowers Friday and they are Bushmaster's. Nice to have a Postal Worker in your pocket....

Don't know too many particulars but I heard Mastodon has Bushmaster Lowers in stock. I don't know pricing or anything just the news.

What is your location. I have a loaner. shoot me a PM

Bob - Give it a break. The gun will be legal for whatever class I shoot. I have a mentor. I'm going to load some decent ammo and go out there and do whatever they ask me to do. The target they use is the one with the big black square at the top of each bull. Wind doping is probably the most difficult thing. Having talked to Pete, the sponsor, they may shoot some variant classes as hunter didn't seem to work for them up at CR. I'll keep you in the loop. Lower left may be a fluke. Hope not! This was last summer.
