Bully

Nah girl. I'm allergic to plastic.

... and you sold them both and bought a CZ?

As if you didn't already know that.

If you have the scratch and really, REALLY want it, I say go for it. Why the heck not.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Since the reloading forum pretty much sucks on here I figured I would try here first. I'm building an SPR type rifle. 223Wylde, 7 twist, 18" barrel. I should have the barrel in hand in a week or two as I went in on a sale at X-Caliber with a good friend and it all shipped to him down south. I'm hoping to run 75gn AMAX thru it but am unsure if the polymer tip will be a detriment to getting it to load well at mag length. I will be shooting this to 300 yards on the regular but out to 700 or 1k(I hope) at least once a year. If anyone has been shooting this bullet, either successfully or not, please post your experiences with it when you can. If you haven't had success, let me know what you are using instead. Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard. I'm in Bergen Cty as well.

CZ-P 01 Not a nicer 9mm handgun out there in my opinion. It's like a Glock, but fits the hand...

Exactly how I feel on the issue. I also think that most folks will pay the price for CCW once or twice and then just let it fade. Then maybe someone on that side will see that we're just normal folks willing to actually DO something for ourselves and not ruthless outlaws... HAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

I'd have it built, but I'm an idiot. Hell, if you're interested in a 6.5x47, I may know where there is one coming up for sale... Factory rifles have great support. That's the nice part. The thing about custom is that they are just that, custom. Built for you. You'll have a harder time selling and won't get your money back out of it most likely. So, if you're gonna flip it, go factory. If not, go custom. And yes, I agree with Rob, from all I hear, the Proof barrels aren't quite there. If you're not gonna have to hump the rifle, I'd do a Rock Creek myself. That's me tho.

I had one and will disagree with the above. It was actually two Taurus revolvers in one, my first and my last. Went out of time within 50 rounds. Had to go back to the factory and although it was fixed quickly, I would never have trusted it again so I sold it and won't buy another. I know of several folks that like them a lot. My experience was most likely in the minority.

This one. Has my heart.

My thoughts exactly. Looking for ways to follow laws not in place yet is conceding. I'm just not there. I also don't own any AR's...

It's newsworthy now because nothing has happened of late to vilify the Second.

What about a no contract cell phone from a big box store. The ones with the cheap cards you buy. Cost you about 50 bux to get up and running.

That merge is awful. I live just down the road from it and travel it pretty frequently. It sucks.

PT&G will rent a reamer. Might be worth a look.

Yes. But the slightest puff of a breeze will throw something like it off track pretty easily. If you're cool with being frustrated and up for a challenge go for it. I'd use a 223. Or, if you want to stick with rimfire a 17... something.

FWIW, that Lee single stage will do everything you need for now. "invest" in good dies and you'll be fine. CFE223 will be awesome for the 22Nosler and the 223Remington. Won't work in the Hornet, but CFEBlack will. As will both "H" and "IMR" 4198.

6mmAR.com Not a lot of info on it and it's gonna get more scarce as it's not a supported round. It's a wildcat that some folks have a reamer for. Barrels from AR15performance.com.

I wound up going with .223. 18" SPR, 1:7 twist with 5R and rifle gas. Should be a fun little gun. Looking for a gas block and miscellaneous small parts.

The 224AR is cool. 6.5Grendel necked down to a .22. A bit faster than the 22Nosler. However with the factory brass and SAAMI specs the 22Nosler is gonna be the one to have. As far as the barrels, I'm not knocking you. You asked why anyone would rechamber and I gave a reason. Nothing more. Better barrels yield better consistency which often leads to better accuracy. Not necessarily longer life. Again, not a knock. Good luck with it. I may rebarrel my 223 bolt gun to this next winter.

Better barrel.

Just out of curiosity, since you missed answering, did you look at the 224AR? Not asking for any real reason besides curiosity. And, I'm strongly considering it for myself.

Is that the Stoner upper? Factory ammo or are you reloading? What glass are you running? Did you look at .224AR?
