458 SOCOM:
Repainted/repurposed an old tactical entry shorty stock. Solid polymer construction for fitting recoil pad & extra length of pull. Not quite long enough added a Law Tactical folding adaptor. Overall stock length worked out to 10-1/8” which is just over an A1.
H1 buffer, V-Seven 10.5" barrel, V-Seven carrier/bolt( w/Tromix modified extractor), V-Seven hand guard, and Liberty Goliath.

Initial testing ran variety of commercial SBR & Buffalo ammo. 300’s-400-500 all super/subs fed & extracted, flawlessly.

Currently fitted with Swar Z5+(2-10x), but likely will outfit 1-4x optic for short range hunting.

A flying saucer landed next to me yesterday.

And I turned around to my coworker and said: "Aye yo bro, can't you just walk up here to the garbage can and throw it in the normal way? You almost hit me!"...

Ask Hornady. They are pretty good about responding. The lot size depends on different things. It could be based on the powder batch. If they made a batch of say 6,000 pounds of powder the lot has all the loaded rounds made with that powder.

Does anyone have experience with the customs drag profiles specifically for 22lr?
I'm assuming it has some preset for different ammo types and you can then fine tune it, or just create your own.

Stupid question, but do you and your team mate have the same cartridge/ballistics?
If not then the ballistic solver won't be great for team matches.

With hard data (on paper) it's very quick to get you dope for a single target if you use TBR/EHR, so normal RF binos would be fine.
If you are scanning through an entire stage, finding, ranging, doping targets before shooting them then you may be trying to juggle to many things at one.

I can't really give a recommendation but I think normal RF binos should be fine if you have the right work flow sorted out.

I've got an Impact 737 I am thinking of sending in to get cut for AW mags. Corrosion resistance is pretty important where I am at.

What are people doing for coating after having action work done? It is already nitrided- I don't know that I can nitride it again. Hard chrome? PVD? Cerakote? At some point it may make sense to just sell it and pick up a factory AW cut action, but being in CA that's a bit of a pain so I am trying to figure out my options.

I also hear a ARC bolt head is on the way.

Quartz comes in many colors. Try to scratch a piece of glass with one of the edges of your daughters rock. If it scratches the glass it's likely quartz. I know a little about rocks, but more about blowing them up and moving them. Rocks are fun.

Thank you,

To make good ammunition component selection is crucial ,to make Fantastic Ammo requires the Key component ; The Correct Powder , bullet weight and sound cases regardless of brand name ( partial annealed necks definitely help ) .

Now will run of the mill Military expended cases make the best ammo ?. Probably not and it most certainly makes a difference WHERE those cases came from !. A well worn M60 or a 249 SAW ISN'T gonna be a great starter base cartridge decision .

I've had some of the best groups I've produced with lousy SD #'s but compensated with KEY components including decent cases .

Norma , FN , LC , PPU even S&B ( Yeah go figure ) . Yes I've got and also use Lapua . What I've found out over the years is , a PPU can be just as accurate as a Lapua case . Having been in a few Ammunition factories ,including Lapua and Norma , I've found things very similar and both had stringent QC . Sellior & Bellot ( Pronounced correctly is Sell-er Bel -lot ) accent on the B & L not on the t . When a Czech says it in English , it's nearly identical to Sailor Below . Just to clarify that .
Point is Seller & Bellot produces some of the BEST factory made ammunition in the World ,Bar None . NO company allowed behind the scenes analytical analysis of their components ,including Brass and it's % trace elements .

MY personal opinion , as I said having been to a few factories , Brass rolls looked nearly identical in the Nordic Factories ,so ??.
One is not permitted to view puck to cartridge draw process but all other operations were open to view . With any and all questions answered cheerfully . A Very Close Long time Friend ,was in charge of Norma up until about 4 years ago ,when He retired .
Just in case anyone wondered How I was able to visit those facilities .

I also batched Industrial explosives as well as Smokeless powder ,way way way back for Hercules Powder . So less than a handful of related industry people are left ,around various manufacturing facilities which I still remain in touch with .

Some of the very best 7.62X51mm cases I still retain are , FN and groups from when I fired factory Military rounds proved it and reloads are super accurate . MY Favorite Powder these days is VV for MANY of My reloading choices . IMO ; VV is holding some of the strictest tolerances that I've access too .

Likewise, I've found PPU cases to produce quite well, even as a mix of lots. What I have of them is a collection from range brass that I picked up as I collected various brands of cases to compare when I first started precision reloading. I also collected a LOT of FC brass that also performed quite well and have fired a lot of them as I developed my reloading procedure. These days, Lapua is my main choice. The Alpha brass, a rather recent purchase, performed great initially, but haven't shot them a lot yet as I'm still waiting for my Lapua brass to give up the ghost before I do.

I really like the VV powders that I've used for my 6.5 PRC. I just wonder how affordable they might be in the near future given current political environment.

I’d guess some form of chert…

I used to have a rock tumbler as a kid. My dad didn't care for how much noise it made and took it out back and shot it. I did buy another one later as a teenager, but not for rocks, but rather for milling black powder.

What better way to show you couldn't care less about something than to create a thread about it to draw attention to it. I will give you credit for using the proper term and saying couldn't care less instead of could care less.

By starting a thread about something he “couldn’t care less about,” he proved that he could- in fact- care less. Thus, “couldn’t care less” was used improperly.…

I think we should ban it here in the United States. Enough of this boot licking!

Good Grief!

On June 7, 2005, the United States Congress issued a concurrent resolution calling on the President of the United States to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe Cinco de Mayo with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

In the 1920s, legendary ex-lawman Wyatt Earp was photographed at his desert camp near the Happy Days gold mine, just across the river from Parker, Arizona.

That's original right there. Wonder what outcome was for officer firing on balloon. Obviously deadly force needed.

Rikkers would be more suitable to reopen

Sierra uses the added 'C' for their larger / bulk boxes - like 250 or 500 ct., rather than the standard 100 ct. The bullets are the same.
