I’m sure there’s no pressure from the “VIPs” this squadron is tasked with chauffeuring around DC. /s

This procedure (requesting/approving visual sep of aircraft, on conflicting routes, at night, in an area full of lights) exists, despite smart people knowing it’s dangerous, for some reason.

After the first incident I had a conversation with a former marine pilot who flew in DC area. That is exactly what he said happens.

I’d still like to blame someone on the ground…like a baggage handler or gate check attendant.

Or… follow the precedent set by the JAG in Germany and blame a crew chief who saw the Eagle taxi and should have known there was a problem.

Price drop to $600

@DocUSMCRetired should sectors/groups produced on my iPad, sync through the cloud with my iPhone and vice versa?

No, Sectors do not cloud sync.

I bet he sleeps safe and sound, let's not overlook the suppressor.

I never put the stock on the scale but it feels the same as the old AT-X stock.

I’ve had great results with Sierra 85g bthp out of a 243. Old school, but they shot great. DRT.

My neighbor kills all of "my" #1 bucks each season with a lowly .243 and an 85gr soft point.

It is an amazingly effective combo.

Call me Sexy to keep it simple

How long do you guys get stuck at this point? This seams to take me longer than the actual BG check.

Typically that means the Form 3 has been approved for the dealer to dealer transfer and is being shipped to your local dealer. That takes however long it takes sadly.

I’ve heard the “SDs don’t really matter” and the “sometimes loads with higher SDs will group better than ones with lower SDs” mantra a bunch of times over the years, and with every passing barrel I burn out, the more I feel that’s false.

IMHO that stuff, like most things in this sport, comes down to “the Indian and not the arrow” and/or maybe guys using too small of a sample size or something…

And while having low SDs might not be as huge as some think it is (a good shooter with higher SD ammo will beat a poorer shooter running low SD ammo every time), IME, if I get consistent/repeatable low SDs, it shoots, period.

I won't argue with you about it because you may very well be correct. I am certainly no expert. I was simply telling the crowd what this hall of fame fella said. Intuitively it seems like it could definitely happen from time to time, but it wouldn't be the norm. I think that his point was that you shouldn't disregard a load with higher sd's than you like without shooting it first, because it may print very well regardless. He went into detail about bullet construction and how you don't know where the weight difference is in the construction of a bullet. Also, if one bullet is 143gr as an example, and the next is a .5 grains lighter, all other things being equal, it should be just a smidgen faster at the muzzle, and it may even out to a point where they hit paper in the same spot. It's an interesting interview if you can stand listening to Cortina interview someone. I don't mind him at all, and in fact I think he's personally crushed some of the lingering voodoo aspects of reloading over the years while being heavily criticized.

Before buying suppressors, I set up a gun trust but I never used it. When Form 4 Individual applications were being turned around in less than 48 hours, that is the path I took. My rationale was that it is only me, myself, and I using them. I have them bequeathed in my will with Form 5 no-tax transfers pre-filled for the beneficiaries.

Once the fee is gone, I may transfer them from my as an individual to my trust. (I refuse to pay the gubbermint twice.) I assume it will be a Form 4 transfer. I wouldn't care how long it takes to process because I already have them. It may be irrelevant if GOA succeeds with its suit. Since it is still an NFA item, the trust just makes it a little easier to share with friends and family if I ever get less selfish. ;-)

Is anyone else thinking about this? Is it worth even bothering?

I did the same thing. I'm also getting ready to buy another suppressor through Silencer Shop. I'm thinking I'm gonna do this last one on a silencer shop trust and add my others to that trust down the road.

Every single time.......

Need an adjustable sizing die first. My sizing technique has improved, but my Redding die is hard to adjust. An adjustable bushing die will save a bunch extra steps, and with the right bushing, potentially eliminate need for the mandrel.

This thread really took off! Anyway, here is another approach to adjusting your sizing die in small steps.
