Especially given the complexity of shooting through an 8K’ column of winds constantly changing direction relative to the axis of the barrel as they orbit the target.

Nothing to add, but danger close with un-tweaked guns was especially interesting in light of this conversation.
Soooo.....grabbed a couple of these for my shotguns, apparently without doing all of my homework. It never occurred to me that an optic specifically marketed for long gun use would use the 509T...
Only if you consider stuff like RMR mounts tapped for #4 screws and a dovetail that a rear backup sight will drop right through to be a problem.
This kid had to fall through a lot of cracks to be able to do what he did, but providing a clearly disturbed minor with access to a firearm is a level of negligence bordering on recklessness. I tend...
Yep, the firing pin was about 15 thou short. No idea how it got that way. I haven’t shot it enough to be certain that the problem is solved but initial results are encouraging.
TLDR: The only variable separating the consistent velocities (155 & 200 gr. XTPs and 200 gr. Blue Bullets) and the inconsistent results from the copper solids is the projectiles themselves. Charges...

I’m seeing ridiculous ES figures working up a stout load for 10mm 190 gr. penetrators. Easily 5X what I get with 200 gr. XTPs and Blue Bullets. Same powder (Power Pistol), primers, press & brass....
They struck me as young and curious. I'm guessing that they were aware of the hikers for the entire time the camera was rolling. I didn't see any obvious sign of a breeze, and they seemed to be...
Living large on the dues dime would be my guess.

Even a pristine use of deadly force does not absolve the shooter of the responsibility for the effects of every round that they fire. It's hard for me to fit firing blindly through this door into...
Nothing really to add, except for the thin wall/case capacity issue will require a new load workup. If memory serves that amounted to an additional 1.5 gr. for a 45 gr.-ish .308 load. I started my...
Yes this thread should die
The posts become more inane
Time on hands revealed
There once was a Torkay named Mada
Who said a bad press I have got-a
He asked for advice
Was not very nice
And was thrown to the wolves by a Mod-a
I see what you did there.
A fiddly press

Fascinating exercise. I'm a non-competitive defensive shooter who's invested in the process of becoming a better practicioner with a handgun, typically a box stock G19/RMR rig from an appendix...
Without any actual experience with this powder or platform I'd be reluctant to offer any advice to someone seeking maxium performance from a relatively low-pressure cartridge. QL predicted...
Nothing to add. I’m guessing that a can will alter the shape of the pressure curve, but it’s not obvious how it could contribute to overpressure.
It's a nice piece of kit, feels solid in the hand. Good ergos. I haven't fully explored all of the gee whiz stuff like bluetooth connectivity, nameable presets and multiple par times but it does...
I think that aiming with sights in that situation would be aspirational, but a valid point for other unconventional positions that don’t involve being eaten.
Yes, that reticle is an acquired taste IMO. There's so much going on visually as compared to a simple dot that it seems to demand attention better directed toward the target. I agree that the...
