That's actually not the first time i herd the 9mm 1911's being picky. and it has to be a pita to come up with a whole new load just for one 9mm pistol out of many.

Is it an issue with the xtreme bullets or just RN in general? What is the issue?

There not the only ones who do that either. I have run across a few companies who label plated as FMJ or TMJ. It can be a issue if you try loading plated bullets using FMJ data... I read you should start with lead data and work your way up with plated bullets and end up somewhere between lead and FMJ. The only time i bought plated bullets was a bulk case of federal champion .45uto, it was cheaper then the regular stuff just as good. If i did load plated bullets i would just make sure they are quality, if its thin plating you risk disintegrating the bullet at high velocities. Like stated above, if your trying to make major it may be an issue using plated, but if you want accurate rounds, plated should fall with in an safe velocity.

Welcome to the forum! I just saw your thread, looks i'll have to put an order in next pay check.

Hmmmm.... I think i'm gonna take the free .45's and it would actually be 800rnds. And go with berry's RN 124gr in 9mm or something similar.

Yeah, i wish they offered a better selection for the redemption, all the bullet weights seem to be on the lower end. Ideally i want to load 124gr 9mm and 200gr .45. So an option might be to just sell them off.

i was planning on getting 1000+ of the free 115gr xtp from Hornady, so i wanted to work up a load in the mean time. Although i have been contemplating getting the 45 185gr xtp bullets instead(better value), and loading 124gr 9mm. Only reason for 115 would be the freebees. I've been reading 124 is a better weight vs 115, less snappy and easier cycling.

I printed out the caliber data off their website which was pretty helpful, just wondering what other books to add to the collection that will be useful. For 9mm, they don't have that much bullet specific data. Im trying to load up some 115gr FMJ RN, and just looking to confirm data.

Does anyone know which manuals list titegroup other then Lyman 49th? I just went to order the Hornady manual but low and behold they don't have data for titegroup...

Definitely before. Sometimes after. I cant imagine the headaches that would arise from loading dirty shells, all that crud will accumulate in your dies over time and make resizing a B*tch. They don't have to be sparkling clean, but the cleaner the better.

lower 1/3rd. Think about it. Upper 1/3rd would mean that the irons sit in the upper part of the co-witness sight. Lower 1/3rd means that you have 2/3rds of the sight open above the irons.... which means more field of view. I'm going to be using an RRA lower 1/3rd co-witness for an eotech, with the front flip magpul sight.

What did they test for on the written exam?

If you can find federal champion .45 its been running in my 1911 with out a hickup, might be worth it if you can find a steady cheap supply.

Any one hear about Cristie possibly running with romney? We're SOL if that becomes the case.

Honestly, it looks like a very limited if not a one off press. Although that has to be the lamest thing i've ever seen. It's already 2x the price of the red and it is nothing more then green paint and some really stupid decals. Hell, just friggen buy one, paint it green and buy some stickers, save yourself a grand. I see it is for charity, that's about the only reason i would buy it.

Forgive me if i take your research method as sarcasm, i was merely looking for a little insight to your opinion on how the T1 trumps all Eotech sights. I wasn't looking to turn this into an Eotech vs aimpoint discussion. The OP asked how i liked my sight, it is a great, reliable sight and does everything it was advertised to do. I don't mind talking points about each companies products, but creating banter is just that.

These places barely ever know just how much time it will take. Some companies in fact have just quit bothering trying to tell people ETA's. They probably time it based on how often something is in actual production, and you got lucky and bought when they were coming off the line, i don't think they count down days.

Call it like it is? lets see... you had a particular KNOWN issue with an particular eotech, there is a fix for it that costs a whopping 4 dollars. You seem to have compiled every model eotech with yours. There is nothing broken about your eotech, the battery leads wore out because they are on the same plane as the recoil, and i clearly stated this was fixed with the xps model, now being 90 degrees to the plain of recoil thus negating the issue. And i mean were talking about a small grommet that removes the slop in the battery compartment... and if not? why not spend the 4 bucks and use it youself, i'd rather spend 4 bucks then loose 500 personally. It's not like you have to shell out a whole lot of money to fix it, aside from the perspective of why the hell u have to fix it in the first place. Literally, all that is wrong with your sight, the battery leads compressed to the point both ends don't make contact, you could fix it using things around the house. Battery leads in that model, because it is AA, can only fit the way the design is, there was no getting around that, they should have gotten rid of the spring leads, found in 99% of electronics, but that would have overcomplicated the design, the xps was able to fix these problems buy using a different battery, taking it from 2-aa to 1-123. Lets do a little comparison, Eotech uses high power laser for its reticule source, so yes it uses more battery compared to an aimpoint. So just saying the eotech battery life sucks is kinda BS, when they dont even operate under the same conditions, AND eotech is a true holographic sight, unlike aimpoint. I'd like to see where your getting this reliability data from other then the battery coming loose in older models, that is not a reliability issue, that is a maintenance issue AND it is only for a select few older models. Do you have durability test comparing a T1 with every single eotech model? The T1 doesnt even come with a mount, so add up the weight of the mount + the the sight. Same price? my xps2-0 cost 400 bucks, the T1 is in the 600+ dollar range without a mount. I'll give you the aimpoint warranty hands down, but it seems to come with the price. Your entitled to your own opinion, but it goes both ways. It's seems your poor experience with eotech has left quite the chip on your shoulder, believe me i would feel the same way. If you dont want your eotech, give it to someone who will use it, because it can be fixed for 4 bucks and will be just as reliable as it was brand new. Do a search on the xps model, you wont find many complaints if any at all other then the typical squabble.

If you did research you would have fixed your eotech already, lol. The battery leads are known to come loose in older models. The XPS line has since removed and redesigned the entire battery compartment, you can still permanently fix the older models. My xps2-0 was cheap compared to an aimpoint and effectively does the same thing. I'm personally not a fan of magnifiers, I would go for a variable 1-4x from leupold or nikon.

The system only works if it's still there after they're gone. Other wise it's just a waste of money. Does it have an external drive? or do you run the entire system into your safe?

I've been finding that your best bet is to find a good dvr system, buy the stand alone recorder, and then purchase the cameras that fit your needs. Most recording systems are all the same aside from ease of use, storage capacity and wifi option, but camera quality will be hit or miss. The new wifi systems are pretty cool, you can set cameras to be in motion mode, they will notify you if anything moves, and you can block out parts of the camera that may be looking at a street to avoid false alarms, you also can get live feed to your smart phone. This is probably the best option out there right now. You may want hi-res cameras for outside and long distance, and low-res cheaper ones for say a front door where it's positioned to look at someone 5-10 feet away.

They are probably waiting for the blood work to come back before charging him unless they found the stolen stuff in his possession.

I too have been looking into security cameras. We recently had something similar happen to my house, only it was a family member. I don't want to get into any details, but all i can say is make sure your guns are locked up. I found tool marks and chipped paint on my safe. Anything valuable is being locked up, including my Computers HDD's since i can easily remove them and my life is on there. All the real important stuff is already in a SDB.

It would basically be an interactive search engine. I don't see it being much different then say google shopping other then the ability to have the program visualize the products your looking at.

Yeha mgralley is right, the site is the easy part, imbedding the javascrip will be a PITA, you could use flash too which might me slightly easier. You basically have to code for every single combination of the AR parts. You would also have to find pictures of all the parts in the correct orientation and size or manually manipulate them. Brownells has exact what your trying to do, but the parts are very limited. http://www.ar15builder.com/
