Love a happy ending!!! Lol- Brass casings vs other
This is an interesting read on brass case vs steel case....good testing data https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/brass-vs-steel-cased-ammo/- Brass casings vs other
I can think of a few things offhand. Brass cases ammo is more ‘elastic’ than steel case... Upon firing, the brass case tends to (for lack of a better term) ‘swell’, and make a tight seal with the chamber. This allows less blow by of combustion gasses into the chamber, making it cleaner to shoot. Less unburnt powder and mess in the chamber, and debris in the bolt. Steel is less elastic than brass, doesn’t swell as much, and allows for more blow by. The steel case rims are also harder on the extractor. Much of the steel cased ammo I have seen, the projectiles themselves are actually steel core coated with a copper wash. This would be harder on the barrels themselves. I once read an article on barrel wear comparing copper washed steel projectiles vs copper jacketed lead projectiles. I don’t remember all of the details of the article, but the conclusion was that copper washed steel increased barrel wear quite a bit. Some steel cased ammo isn’t loaded as hot...this could lead to function issues as well.- Daily humor thread
- SOLD!! WTS: Protran 30A generator transfer switch
WTS: brand new ProTran 31410C generator transfer switch and accessories. Still in the original box. 30A, 125/250VAC service, power up to 10 circuits. I’m also including 30’ (about, I didn’t measure it) of 4 strand 6AWG cable to run to the gen plug in. We had intended to wire this in for portable generator backup, but never installed it. Since we are moving, I need to get this out of my basement. The ProTran switch itself retails for $530 on Amazon and other retailers. I’ll let it all go for $325 , picked up in Stratford, NJ 08084. You know the drill...first one to say ‘I’ll take it’, followed by a PM, gets it. More information here: http://reliancecontrols.com/ProductDetail.aspx?31410CRK- Daily humor thread

- Red Dot Sights for AR-15 - which one?
I would imagine they do change somewhat, but I’m not an expert in that area. I don’t know if it would be a ‘good, or bad’ change. For the most part, I’m a ACOG and LPVO user, don’t have much personal experience with red dot parallax. @High Exposure can tell you more I imagine.- Red Dot Sights for AR-15 - which one?
Based on this data, I’d probably get an Aimpoint...and I’m a HUGE Trijicon fan. https://www.ar15.com/forums/AR-15/Observations-On-The-Effect-Of-Parallax-Error-When-Shooting-With-An-Aimpoint-Comp-M5-And-Trijicon-MRO/18-761668/- Daily humor thread
