They are decent targets. but a hair fragile meaning that if you aren't careful you can scratch the outer layer off and that looks like a hit. All in all well worth a little care, and I'll buy again especially for ease of spotting at longer distances.

I had the Battlecomp I and totally agree that the Wheaton was superior to the point that if I wasn't welded (thank you NJ) I'd switch in a heartbeat. the Wheaton was effortless at staying on target with no deflection at all. VERY nice. Good choice Glen

I have to agree with this: I've never had anyone ignore a request to go cold, but it surely helps to make eye contact with everyone when doing so. I have been there when a guy on the left end station did not hear the call to go cold and fired a shot just as the others began to walk out past the line. Everyone there got into his grill, but in all honesty we were just as guilty because we did not get confirmation that he had heard and stepped back. Aso, there was a clown there playing cowboy with his AK once, but again he was straightened out fairly quickly. I do wish that the rule about wearing IDs was a little less lax as I suspect there are non-members shooting there on occasion and they are often either ignorant of the safety rules or willfully ignore. I think the place and the people are generally excelllent. Don't cash out because of a couple of butt-heads.

Most Mafioso pay lip service to their religion and are not too worried about the church on a personal level. Their wives are often a different story and true believers. If the pope is in any danger from the Mafia it is more likely to be because of the alleged money laundering that the church is rumored to have done for the boys. If that were true and he cut that off he could easily have an accident or meet up with a crazed crowd member. Esoecially with his penchant for wading into crowds and his disdain for personal security

Have you looked at the inside of the handgrip to see if there are any marks from the load assist button rubbing on the inside of the grip? Also, have you tried cleaning and lubing and then 'working' the magazine?

I have the G2S in my DD and it is excellent. There is the typical 1st stage take up and then a nice positive resistance that breaks clean and sharp with some nice feed back to the finger. Some guys like that surprise break, but I like to know what's coming and this trigger tells you but doesn't shout it. I have not shot the SSA, but can't imagine I'd like it any better. Very easy install as well.

A-Tech, thanks for the heads up. I was able to pick up a few pounds this morning and there is about 5 lbs left.

I wanted to thank whoever posted the fact that GSA has Titegroup (I can't seem to find it unless it's not in reloading subforum) and alert anyone else who is getting desperate for pistol powder that there are about 5 pounds left. I've never tried it but many people seem to like it and it is supposed to meter a lot better than the 700x that I'm running low on now.

And so, the most classless, whinning, diving pussys in the league are done. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving franchise.

So? You gonna sell the v5?

Give that man a cigar

Last Flyers Stanley Cup?

So I've been lurking as far as this thread goes and I'm curious, what makes Bcm special? This is not a sarcastic question, but why is it better than say a Stag. Having read some of the Gun Digest series on the AR, many of the 'lesser' brands get excellent marks from Sweeney and his test crew so why spend more for a name? What are the real world differences in ARs?

Thanks for the heads up. I like their stuff.

Let me know when you plan to be there. Appreciate the offer

I have found that the OAL on factory ammo is more often than not longer than in the various load manuals for reloading. I went with a figure more like the manuals and they shot like a dream.

I have used any garbage out there and I swear this gun could cycle spitballs. The hexs are a real key though, because if they get loose, and they do, the gun doesn't like anything! And one other place to look is to take off the left side grip and see if it is touching on the loader button, mine did and I relieved the interior surface of the grip with a dremel and there has been no issue of any kind since.

The guy with the chrono backed out due to the forecast of all things, so I don't have the hard numbers, but here's my method today and observations. I loaded several manufacturers, Blazer, Fiocchi, American Eagle and my two carts. in specific orders such as two factory, one of each of mine, then factory, and others so that I could try to feel any differences as well as judge accuracy. Also, put in random order so the subconscious couldn't mess around. To my hands and ears and eyes, there were no differences at all. No glitches of any kind and no differences in recoil, report, smoke, blast, or accuracy. Bullzeye, you are right on the ammoload brass too, although a chrono would've been nice to back all this up. Basically, I'm a happy camper. I'll be glad of your opinion next weekend, Glen. I hope to have a couple of hundred so we can really see.

Good plan for now as it's definately cheaper ammo-wise to have one caliber, BUT you do need a revolver in there because once you've shot one, and I don't mean just one time, well, you just need one. Besides, a .357 is really a 357 and a 38. Then there is no doubt that a 1911 is an all time classic and there is a reason that we love our 45s. I totally disagree with the 22lr snobs. Plinking is a blast and the shortage of 22 ammo out there means there are plenty of people doing it. If I ever got another 9mm to go with my CZ, it would be the Beretta, but I don't really know why. Something about the look of the thing. Finally, two letters, AR. Total hoot. The reality is they are all great. Oh yeah, and a 308 is good too....

I finally finished up twenty test rounds of 9mm, my first ones ever! Generic FMJ Round nose with 4.1 grains of IMR HiSkor 700x and CCI primers. I have a friend who has a chrono and if it stops raining will get to see how they do tomorrow. 10 rounds are the ammoload brass with the thicker brass in the head 1/2 of the case and 10 are regular cases so it'll be interesting to see if there's a difference in pressure and therefore a bit more velocity in the ammoloads. If any one is interested I will post it tomorrow night, because 700 is around on occasion at somewhat reasonable prices. I feel like an expectant father.

Not looking to start trouble, but I've seen some ridculous prices right here on the forum, and recently too. You have to resist buying from these good buddies of ours so they too get the message and stop swooping in and scooping up the supply whenever any of it hits the market. Also, it would feel good to stick it to them. Look at some of the recent for sales ads and realize that even Heritage Guild had some this past week at 8.99/100 for mini mags. and everyone is always ragging on HG's prices.

Can't see any reason why it would not be legal sooo, it's probably illegal! Actually seems like a pretty cool device. If you get one give us a range report.

who the hell wants to be called by the NJSP one day because you have a cache of supplies to make 1000's of bullets for your arsenal of guns? Isn't that what things are devolving to in dumb states like NJ? C'mon guys this is NJ. Nothing like that is ever going to happen.

Dunkelbergers Brodheadsville, PA location has some IMR Hi Skor 700x. It may not be your favorite as it was developed as a Shotgun powder, but it is useable for a variety of handguns both revolver and semi, and there are loads available in the manuals and online for 45ACP. They said that they get it in on occasion.

A quick thanks to T Bill. I found some versatile rifle powder that I was looking for to do 223 and 308. No luck with the pistol yet and received an email from TNT who doesn't have any either. The quest goes on.
