So as some of you know I build my own 1911's. Well I just got my Dillon up and running and slapped some ammo together. I grabbed a box of Ranier 200 Grn SWC. Whipped up a batch and ran to the range to test. Now keep in mind my 1911 has had pretty much no malfunctions ever. I shot around 400 rounds of various hollow points and a ton of ball with no troubles at all. But man did my pistol hate these SWC's! 3 point jam after 3 point jam!!! Little research and it seems this is common for that projo. But my 1911 eats most anything, what gives? I found a suggestion to load long. That made it worse! Played with various lengths, nothing seemed to make a diff. Maybe the ammo aint the problem? Im pretty sure my extractor tension is good. Polish job on the barrel mouth is perfect. Hmmmm, feed ramp angle and mesurments arent coming up right. I felt my feed ramp angle was a bit off and shallow so I altered it. I deepened the ramp, added a little more angle and then polished it. I notice in cycling that it is much more fluid and the ka-chunk of the rounds it did manage to feed is gone. Range report later today! The culprit and a bad pic of the adjusted ramp.

My thoughts on the announcement was that if the alarm didnt scare em off, there is likely a reason for the boldness so better not to give away your position.

I thought it was funny that even Matt Burkett thought he was cocky LOL.

I would recomend you move the child in with the mother. I would recomend not making any announcements. I would recomend you had the GF dial 911 while you guarded the room. I would recomend she make sure she alerted the PD of location in the house and armed status. I would recomend you all have this plan practiced ahead of time.

Heres some pics of the USO on my GAP .260. Ret I feel like my brother the eagle with this scope!

Well if it were a free mans state Id only have to hold 1 mag which would give me 60 rounds to 10 mosin's 50 . In Jersey id have to hold 3 which would give me the same 10 rounds more, so you'd need two more mosins LOL.

Do you want , pistol, rifle or both

I just wont do it! I have passed on several fine scopes at great prices because I wont buy a scope with unmatched ret/knobs. I have an SN3 1.8X10 I just mounted up on my .260 gas gun yesturday. It has the PCMOA ret and Im probably going to mind F myself by playing with it :shock: :? What I want to research and better understand is if the 1 vs 1.047 leads to error at greater distance with a PCMOA ret. Not a problem on the Milidranian side of the fence.

Ill take that bet!

I had no idea this had gone on and for many years wondered why it hadnt until I caught this flick.

CONFIRMED 659 SHIPPED!!!

I like that idea a lot! Or start up on the hill for some distance, engage, run down the hill on an empty, reload and engage, swap to shotgun etc etc.

Here is an interesting take. Talk to your non shooter friends that have seen it. They ALL have given me a thumbs up that they like it. That in my mind is a win because in the end its a representation of shooting sports in a more positive way than the HEAT perspective of mowing down the law and the civy population. I have never seen a competitive sport that didnt include some trash talking. But in the end I would say Mike accepted his loss gracefully. Shane

Liberty Optics has the Accupoint TR24G on sale right now for $759. Hmmm seems to be a discrpancy in his post and his web page. His web page says 659?? I asked him which is correct. Ill post back when I know. http://libertyoptics.com/ Tell Scott Shane sent ya

You guys should have them change the COF right out of the gate this time. 5 rounds from rifle was a little...yawn. 5 kneeling, reload 5 standing made the rifle stage a little more interesting.

Must have been the day of the headache!!! Bad freekin headache ALL DAY!

Are you shooting wax pellets out of your 1911?

If she seems like she would be recoil sensitive then Id follow Matt's advice. If she has a little adventure in her then I say go for it. I find the full size USP to be somewhat of a softer shooter.

"The Mexican authorities accused the Americans of trying to recover evidence from Mexican soil and threatened to kill them if they crossed the border" I love those rules, can we play?

Kal, what calc are you using for your ret, / by 100 or / by 95.5? Ive heard enough people come back and say that their USO's with PCMOA ret's seemd to be really SMOA. THIS is one of the reasons I prefer mil/mil. The lack of uniformity in the optics world on an inch. What conversion are you refering to? I dont convert anything??? Horus=Busy. Agreed

1 Fancy AR :twisted:

I cant go My wife was asked by my sister to be Godmother and of course this is on the 27th :evil:

PS I would probably take a SS10XHD over a Loupy 10X based on the workd from those I trust.

It has been a really long time since I owned a SS. But im betting the cap has an allen screw on top or the side. Zero your scope. Then unscew the allen bolt and align the lines with zero. Tighten back down. Be carful to not knock it off setting when pulling the cap. Also I think there is an O ring in the cap. Take care not to pinch it out of place. Shane

I found it by searching for an FFL local to me which turned up TJ's and led me here.
