Bad Ammo Brands?
I am really starting to like the S&B loads. They are nice from the factory and the brass is beefy which makes my life better as a reloader. Remington UMC and Winchester white box are both great for me too, just a little dirty in some calibers. Im not a fan of the Blazer aluminum case. Ive had some bullet setback issues with a couple different calibers and I have all but given up on the brand. I have no experience with the steel so I dont really have any input but it seems that jon and maks have that pretty well handled.

Hornady stepping into the 1911/2011 game?
If this is true, I honestly have lost a little respect for Hornady. And as far as I can tell the slide serrations on the 2011 in the video looks like an STI Legend or IPSC

Sighting Eotech 512
If its not written on the package, there are a couple ballistic calculators online. You will need to plug in barrel length, bullet velocity, sight height over bore etc.

Is something "up" with the deer this year?
Alot of deer have been affected by all the rain we've had. Some natural habitat has been washed out or is too swampy for them to feed in. We are seeing them alot of places they havent really been before.

Evolution of the rifle...
FN SCAR too. "The barrel is also telescoping and foldable" That sounds like some extra special steel.

Sighting Eotech 512
In theory yes but in practicality no. The laser has to be marking a line that is perfectly parallel to the center of the bore. You nee to be able to do it at the range you want it zeroed at. Most bore sight lasers aren't powerful enough to be seen well during the day, let alone at distance. the laser will not take into account spin drift. At close range it wont be much but its there, and a long range its noticeable. It will get you decently close but you will still need to shoot it in.

how to remove brass from spent shotgun shells
The hull is actually press fit into the brass base to make it extremely difficult to come out. If it wasnt this way, a gun would only pull the brass base out when extracting. You may want to make a relief cut in the base of the hull and see if that works. FWIW you might want to see if this is alright with the range owner. Alot of ranges sell their spent hulls and brass to reloaders. You might be stepping on some people toes, or at worst, stealing from your range.

Iran To Send Naval Vessels Off U.S. Territorial Limit
I agree that the propaganda value would be huge but with the tension right in their own region, I dont think it would be prudent to dedicate a large portion of their naval infrastructure for a photo op. I have an inkling feeling that this was someone mouth running a little bit too far, and writing a check their butts cant cash.

Iran To Send Naval Vessels Off U.S. Territorial Limit
I read another article on this and it seems to be widely thought in the naval community that Iran doesn't have the resources to do this. They have no aircraft carriers or destroyers, and have nowhere to refuel and resupply once they reach the atlantic. The Iranian Navy could in theory resupply somewhere in south america that shares their dislike for this country, but it seems that the threat is empty as it stands right now.

Riddle me this...
I feel like its just going to boil down to how much work it would take to undo it. It reminds me of the california bullet button on an ar. Since the magazine release needs a tool to operate (the bullet) its not considered detachable. Having the tool guideline let them know exactly what is and is not legal. Its too bad we are not afforded that luxury.

Riddle me this...
While I agree that the felony charge surrounding modifying your magazines is not worth the risk for me, it would be a nice change to have some sort of concrete answer about what is and is not legal. Some consider a rivet permanent, but as an example, a drill bit can un-permanent that rather quickly without any major damage to the magazine. All welds aren't equal either. A spot weld can be broken with enough force, but full bead would be much harder to break without destroying the magazine. Not trying to be argumentative, just seeking a real solution.

Riddle me this...
I couldn't agree more. The permanently modified language is a grey area that seems to be open to individual interpretation. Just the way I like my laws...

Riddle me this...
If i remember correctly, the magazine needs to be permanently altered to the lower capacity. I think this is why midwestPX pins the floor plates.

Scope needed for 10-22
BSA Sweet 22 is pretty cool at your price point. 3-9x40 and it comes with 3 elevation drums calibrated to different bullet weights that act as a drop compensator out to 200 yards.

GF's range shooting to holster work
My only suggestion would be that if she is dry firing the p22 use one of these. http://www.larrysguns.com/Products/Chamber-Plugs__LGI.aspx its a rubbery chamber plug and flag that you can dry fire on. The bullseye guys at my club use them for their 2k+ bullseye guns without damage
- sights?

Sayreville Sportsman
It seems people opinions are very hot and cold. I personally dont have a problem with him but my business is limited to ammo and odds and ends. It seems that others have had some very poor experiences though, but without first hand experience I cant comment on that.

Sayreville Sportsman
I switched from the mg to the precision deltas. They are about 25 bucks cheaper if you are buying by the thousand and I havent seen a difference in accuracy between the two.
