WAY back when i was a little kid i was amazed at a horse mounted officer during some political fair... i stopped in amazement and when i turned around i had lost my family... needless to say the first person i approached was the officer. and he helped me track down my family. To be fair i had a way of wondering off when i was a kid when something grabbed my attention.

Some not yet mentioned Banshee Strikeback NCIS

At 25 yards, your POI is high by around a half foot at 100 yards. at a 50 yard zero your less than 2" high and low at 100/25 respectively. obviously depends on your set up but the idea is to get tighter groups in a broader range. To be able to shoot 2" within zero from 25 feet to 100 feet would probably make those 100 yard shot much easier.

Which aperture are you using?

Never had a bad experience in there, other then OOS items lol. I didn't even really ask to see anything and he was pulling stuff out for me lol... i honestly wasn't going to buy a gun, just planning on it soon.. Once things start entering your hands the decision to put it back enters...

I'm assuming your crimping in a separate step, that's unusual to be peeling the bullet with a heavy case bell.. In my cases the only reason i wound up with these expanders was because that's just the way hornady does it for their powder drop. I was worried about it at first because they didn't get stellar reviews from the lead guys, but they work very well for me with plated bullets. The Lee dies probably expand the case a bit more.

I do reload, i just don't have any LPP. :/ So i'm stuck reloading the SPP 45 cases i have, I picked up a case of federal champion .45 with spp before the shtf, so i have been using that stuff up so i can reload them, but i do have thousands of LPP .45 cases that need some love. One of these days the primer and powder market will catch up..

I was pretty set on picking up a 686 at some point, but i also wanted a .45 since i keep a good stock of ammo for my 1911. So this really fit the bill. I've never herd a bad remark about these pistols, and honestly wasn't looking to spend this much, but they hold their value which is important. With the moon clips, should i buy SS to match the finish or just regular ones... it's not really important unless they hold up better because they are more expensive, and other then that i need a good loading tool.

Oh they got some live meal worms.. YUMMM!!

Ramsey Out Door on rt17 they were stocked pretty good with ruger mags of all variety and even had magpul 15/30's and 308 mags, glock mags, had a couple of cx4 models in... I picked up the p2p paperwork on the way home, so hopefully my PD is good like usual and I can picker her up in a months time.

So i hit the local pet co to pick up some things for my turtle tank... pretty quick in and out... I say to myself.. Hey the gun store is around the block, lets see if they have anything... last time i was in a gun store the shelves were practically empty. So i wondered if they had any primers in stock since they usually carry them.. NOPE! did have CCI magnum rifle, which was upsetting cause the blue cci box caught my eye the second I walked up to the counter. Lets see what else they have? any mags? the wall was full and i grabbed some MKIII mags which i've been needing... needed some lube.. grab some M Pro 7 Whats that you say.. you have .22? would have bought some but didn't have my FID... I see you got that expensive match .223 ammo i love..sigh 2 boxes.. And then the new compact 92 caught my eye in the case.. gentleman ask me what caliber i was looking for, and instead of saying "just looking" my impulse took over and i blurted out i was looking for a .45... and i was...just not planning on buying one right now. I was also looking for a nice revolver too, but was thinking .357. So i had not even paid much attention up to this point when he pulled out a 625, and my face lite up like Christmas morning. Needless to say i succumbed to the addiction, hell I've been working pretty hard lately and haven't rewarded myself much.. I should be able to hold out for another couple months now... This is also my first revolver. I just need to find some moon clips and acc.

Would he not be studying real hard if he DIDN'T see the investment? why the hell else do it? I don't know whats worse, a 20 year old complaining how hard is to make a life for themselves, or the 50 year old complaining about his responsibilities..

I noticed the PTX by hornady does the same thing... not a tradition bell... apparently people have issues loading non-jacket with the hornady ones, peeling the bullet. I haven't noticed any markings on the jackets tho... what is nice about them is that there is no way to really over expand the case adds a bit more consistency with cases not exactly the same length, and like you state the taper comes out more consistent since it doesn't have to roll the case back. I'm not sure which way is better yet in terms of case life.

Every so often my right ear will ring, usually when it's quiet. Any sound will be drowned out by it, but it only last for a few seconds and then the ringing stops. Not sure if that counts. But I did play the drums throughout my childhood and rarely used ear protection. Once I hit 20 I almost always use ear protection for anything loud, or avoid it entirely.

I would never call 911 if I was at home. I would call my pd. I know the number and I would get a quicker response.

I don't remember exactly. You hit v or one of those buttons and on the bottom middle of the screen a little HUD pops up with your magnification and Zero range. It tells you if your set to 0 100 200 500 or 1000. Not sure if its meters or yards, or if they calculate the bullet curve or if its just bullet drop, depending on how much effort they put into it. I need to play around with it when it comes out. All I know is when I switched to 200 from the top of a building my shots went from low to dead center. Such a small detail I thought was really cool. That stuff usually get overlooked. This was also with a variable zoom optic on a sniper rifle. Not sure if the other scopes or gun types have them.

Thinking about a 7970 if they come down in price enough... if not the new r9 equivalent seems to priced be the same. Did anyone happen to catch the new scopes? variable zoom is back and you an also change the zero.. i thought that was pretty cool.

The rules are written right on the website, i understood what was said during orientation the first time. I didn't take anything off the bench didn't touch the bench. I showed up in the middle of a target change. I walked out to set up the stand and as i passed the bench i dropped a small pack of targets on it.. I don't mind the fact they want you away from the bench and i wouldn't argue otherwise, but the reaction i was given was equal to throwing a gun into the next lane.

What? during a ceasefire you can cross any line that you want. to establish and relieve one you must be behind the yellow line. How are you supposed to change your target without crossing it?

To be fair, there isn't actually ANY rule in regards to the benches during a cease fire. In my case getting screamed at for simply dropping a small pack of targets on a empty bench while passing it to set up the target frame. The rules are in regards to firearms during a ceasefire. They could show a little discretion. Also got yelled at for leaning the target frame against the bench... It is a pretty stupid rule when you got RO's ripping you out for such petty shit that has nothing to do with safety. If an RO has to tell you to keep away from the bench with a gun on it, you should get written up.

currently deciding which one to buy.

I got ripped once for dropping a pack of targets on a bench during target change, I was confuse cause the bench was empty and I just threw them down with no where else to put them. Seemed stupid at the time buts I guess it's more of a conditioning thing. Also I like how the trainer walks away. Like not even bother to see if the guy is alive. Didn't bother to secure anything either

That would make a cool movie.
