Shocker

You also have to be sure that it's actually an OAL variance versus a primer sticking up above flush. Are you using sorted brass? I have a Lee as well but when I'm doing pistol I only measure the first few...after I know I'm pretty close to where i want to be I'll bang out a few hundred and only measure here and there. Rifle I measure every single one and I see +/- 0.002 with sorted brass.

Both are fine but they're in different classes. You could shoot one in one match and the other the next time if you wanted to (if you had a holster for both). 9mm ammo might be cheaper than .45

$100 for a lower sounds like a stripped lower? If so you need to budget for a buffer, stock, parts kit, etc

I have a stainless steel varmint barrel on my RRA upper...I painted it black. Duracoat Ultra Flat Black Tactical looks damn close to anodized aluminum.

No, I didn't know about the chalkboard thing but it was fixed. Wow it was cold down there.

Sounds like a dented rim. Most shops can check the runout on the rim and tell you. You can try switching the wheels and tires front to back if they're the same. You won't feel these issues as much if the problem is in the back.

Last time I was there the ventilation for the rifle range wasn't working (a few weeks ago). Anybody know if it's been fixed yet? I'd like to try out some new recipes tomorrow but don't want to be disappointed if I make the trip and can't shoot.

LOL good point

I can see these morons try to pass A524 and S810 at the same time.

The 15 for each gun would be concurrent...not that that makes it any better.

In

(1/2) * (mass) * (velocity)^2 Watch your units EDIT: for a 147gr (9.5g) bullet at 1000 fps (305 m/s) I think that should be 443 J or 326 ft-lbs

When I go from 1.130 to 1.125 I notice a difference with this particular powder. So 0.01 should be even more pronounced.

I've gone as low as 3.5gr of Titegroup (long OAL) in .40 with 180gr pills. It was really light, the ejected shells were landing almost at my feet. It was too easy to limp-wrist it though shooting weak handed. I don't go that light for IDPA even though I suspect it would make 125 PF.

What about 6.8 SPC or 6.5 Grendel?

Cheap ammo might be dirty and less accurate. Shouldn't hurt the gun.

Out for Wednesday. Maybe next time.

Kahr maybe? Take this link with your usual Wikipedia spoonful of salt but...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygonal_rifling

I hate to reply with another "maybe"...but maybe. I'll be there if my wife is home early enough to watch the baby.

Stupid Christmas party. I'd so rather shoot

Striker? DA/SA? I like my M&P

If the air actually went into those holes during flight (doubtful due to boundary layer of air) it would cause drag like having your car windows open on the highway. Any time you force fluid to change direction there is resistance. Sounds like they say it's for the internal ballistics...which us also doubtful.

K'nex are for older kids (think Lego Technix) but they're made in America.

Just my python. But thats mostly because SCFGPA doesn't allow magnums and I don't feel like using .38's. But in my mind it transitioning into a collectable

If it just needs retiming the factory does a full recondition for $300 (although that included rebluing for mine so it may be less if you don't want a polish and what not). Modifications can't help you though.
