a guy bragging loudly about how his scope has 2 focal planes
Actually he may have been correct. Burris and Shepard offer dual focal plane scopes.

this was a vortex crossfire
Correct.I was told by my supervisor that the m240b shot the same caliber as an AK 47....
Correct.
Alright, very stupid indeed.Perhaps I worded that wrong.. that the Ammo was interchangeable between the two.
Hi,
Well I will depart this thread and let it get back to its' roots...which clearly it now has done via post #792.

@Spblademaker Why do you bring up such sore subject??? You do know that jackass called the HOA on me for having too many lathes in garage. Talking about it violated the advanced technology clause of the HOA. Then acted like it wasn't him that did it at the next Christmas party.
Coworker told me people are shooting lathe turned titanium bullets in competition.
Not that I think it is a good idea to modify bullets but couldn't you just ya know... do it on the bullet before you load it in the case.a reloading buddy of mine was serious about this...I told him I wish I could find hollow points in the 750 gr for my fiddy, he said "you have a nice lathe, chuck it and drill it out..." ya, da, I'm gonna chuck a live round, with 13k lbs muzzle energy and start drilling on it....stfu
Love those Lehighs in 338, plus when you drill the base an insert some TC they really shine, for us poor white trash hillbillysHi,
LOL, hopefully he was meaning titanium flash tips on the monolithics...

Wasn't sure what he was talking about. Tried to use my Google-fu to find something about it before posting here.Hi,

Know a guy that isn't a shooter but a lifetime hunter. Always talks about how if he can hit a pie plate at 100 yards he is good to go deer hunting. Drives me insane.
The only thing worse than that is they guy who can’t hit the pie plate/sheet of paper and five minutes later goes on about how they hit golf balls at 800yds or goes up to another shooter and starts giving advice.
He missed it one time at the range and asked if I could lower his trigger weight so he wouldn't pull his shots...

You haven't met me , yet.
His days are numbered as an authority of , inherently accurate, rimfire. And how to.
You dont know me. You have merely seen what he has parroted from others. And some of that has some small artifacts , of fact , regarding a 22lr projectile.
But I'm confident we will get to know each other and become friends. On the internet. Because thats what I live for. I'm sweet as Tennessee Whiskey.
Might as well add you to the list of parrots. Like I said. Sweet as Tennessee Whiskey.
Class will begin pretty soon. Put your hats on. And your game faces. We can talk about nodes( tee hee) and everything. I will show you why one button rifled barrel is no better than the next button rifled barrel with the same tolerance.
I am so sorry. I had to edit this because I misspelled a werd.
T.S.
If you don't already have them, get some electronic ear protection and head out to a 100 yard public range. You will hear some interesting stuff. I have the memory of a gold fish so I end up forgetting most odd things I hear. I do remember two kids arguing weather or not my 24" Rem 700 in an XLR Evo chassis was a rifle or a pistol, the youngest thought because it had a pistol grip that it was a pistol. But they are kids so I wouldn't call them stupid, it's was just funny to hear them bitching at eachother.
People seem to think you can't hear them because you have ear muffs on. Plus, people usually don't have electronic ear pro they are talking loudly at each other so it makes it pretty easy to hear conversations from half the range.
I usually mind my own business unless I am approached. Sometimes I will spot for people next to me if it seems like they are having trouble with a hunting scope and can't see their impacts, I will just measure with my reticle and let them know how off they are.
I have had people come up to me saying something like "my buddy has a rifle like that, he can get dime sized groups all day long with it". My 10 round groups are around .75 MOA +- .2 MOA, so not "dime sized" but I just shake it off.
Hi,
Lets see..
I started the day out testing a new firing pin spring system for a new high pressure receiver design.
View attachment 7103351
I then tested the receiver design for operations at 100k PSI (Tested to 152k psi though). Good to Go.

I then transitioned to the International side of business and handled this email:
Dear Theis,
We have inquiry from Montenegro.
There is urgent requirement for the below perhaps you have some available stock. It can be 1980 + ammunition
SHELL 8,000.00 M456 HEAT-T 105MM SHELL 8,000.00 M393 HEP-T 105MM
Can you assist?
If interested, I will contact you directly with the client.

a reloading buddy of mine was serious about this...I told him I wish I could find hollow points in the 750 gr for my fiddy, he said "you have a nice lathe, chuck it and drill it out..." ya, da, I'm gonna chuck a live round, with 13k lbs muzzle energy and start drilling on it....stfu
I was told by my supervisor that the m240b shot the same caliber as an AK 47....
Correct.
You can find .308 diameter 7.62x39. A buddy had some and wondered why his AK shot even more horrible than normal.Does the 240B shoot a 0.312 caliber projectile? I'd assumed it would be 0.308.
He was saying you can shoot a 7.62x39 in the m240b and a 308 in an AK.Does the 240B shoot a 0.312 caliber projectile? I'd assumed it would be 0.308.
What is this guy shooting? If I'm taking a bush gun hunting while I push bush for my dad, I'd be happy with a pie plate at 100 if I know I'm not shooting past 20 yards offhand when I'm in the trees. If it's a scoped rifle, I understand your pointKnow a guy that isn't a shooter but a lifetime hunter. Always talks about how if he can hit a pie plate at 100 yards he is good to go deer hunting. Drives me insane.
Gotta update with new ones.
"I'm switching from MOA to mils because mils is more precise."
-Coworker attempts to correct this arrogant fuck.-
"At a 100 yards, yeah mils isn't the best, but at long range the differences add up and mils becomes more precise."

Well he is correct.
I agree with you. Most shots on game are within 100 yards anyhow contrary to what many believe that don’t hunt. I would strive to be more proficient than a paper plate at 100 yards of course......just in case.He is correct as long as he's within 100 yds. Beyond that no, he is not correct.

Very true, where I grew up in Nevada, shots are more typically around 200. 400 was not uncommon.this depends on where you hunt.

That said, many a patient hunter out there packed a lever action 30-30 and were still successful.
