As kids, we used to shoot bb guns in the basement, using an old fitted sheet hanging from the ceiling as a backstop. The bbs would collect in the bottom for re-use.

As opposed to all of our rogue governors?

10 min.............

Someone is bidding!

Less than a day to go, and it's only $61? Come on, People!

Lets bump up the bidding a little.............

I LOVE it!

Haven't looked at this thread until today, but every time I read the title, all I could think is "if YOU were on the hook, would THEY give you any slack?" We all know the answer to that. Respond accordingly.

Didn't wait that long. I moved-outta NJ, THEN retired 2 weeks later.

Yup....worse yet is NJ's requirement if you do a consignment sale at your local FFL, and later decide that you don't want to sell it.....you need a pistol permission slip to receive your pistol back.

@Greenday ?

Safe? As in free from catching the creeping crud and getting dead? We never were ‘safe’.

I think you meant Monday the 20th.

But from where? You put the thing in your pocket. You think the gross stays only on the copper pick?

...and then you put it in your pocket, and then grab it when you pull your keys out the next time. The virus lives for how long on a surface?

Didn't you start off a firestorm on September 22 by saying: And I should clarify my comments on reaching max pressure. It's more of knowing what the max grains are so as I work a load (which I don't start near the max), if the highest load I test works best, from there I'd test slightly above and below that (So if I think 23gr is my original guess, I'd start with 22.5, 23, 23.5. Then if 23.5 gets most consistent results, test 23.7, 23.3). So eventually, ideally knowing what the max safe load is, I know how much wiggle room I have.

Interested in the 30-30 dies also interested in the 9mm....I dont do much 9mm, but it might be nice to have some capability-even tho its not carbide

I must have missed that.........I'd be interested in the 30-30 dies...

The upshot is "yes" ... the .223 round is "safer" than the larger/slower/heavier rounds, as it tends to 'set-up' on whatever it first encounters, and dumps the bulk of its energy into that first impact. Its kind of counter-intuitive; I thought a buckshot round (for example) with its inferior ballistic qualities wouldn't penetrate like a .223 round, but testing proves otherwise. The 'best' use of birdshot is to be able to tell the judge that you reached for your trusty "bird gun" when surprised by the intruder intending you harm, and not having to explain that you defended your life with that evil, sinister black "assault" rifle (whatever that is...).

true ... probably the best-looking thing on this whole thread!

“They” can’t. This was for appearances-or “Respect my Authoritay!” as Cartman would put it. Look for this to get thrown out of court, or pled-down to jaywalking

This reminds me of an interesting conversation I had with (I think) @vladtepes a couple years ago concerning penetration of .223 versus 12 gauge buckshot, and which was "safer" for home defense. Contrary to my thinking, it seems the .223 went thru fewer sheetrock walls than the 00 Buck. Surprised me....

.....and don't think the rest of the country isn't paying attention

I think it’s time to end this. The numbers they used to justify this nonsense (2 - 2.5 mill in the US) has been adjusted down several times; most recently to 60 thou....and they’re cooking the books to even reach that number.
