    Giving up on Berger Hybrids

    I waited a very long time for 308 185 gr hybrids to come back in stock. When they finally did, I ordered a bunch. From the video, it sounds like they might be able to keep up in another 4 months or so plus a few months to catch up on backlog. I switched to Hybrids because they work well at both...

    Redding Competition Shellholder Sets (for headspace adj. w/o going the bushing die route)

    As pointed out above, the shellholders are for headspace adjustment, not neck tension adjustment. If you don't know the difference, you need to stop reloading, read more, and understand the difference. Neck tension is controlling the diameter of the neck prior to seating (how firmly the neck is...

    cleaning rimfires

    I have never had a lead problem with my rimfires. Mine gets one dry patch after every range session, and then a thorough cleaning with Shooter's Choice (standard, not the lead remover) and a brush every 6 months to a year (2500 rounds or so). Honestly, with the lube, rimfires don't lead that...

    Lone Survivor,,,,my take on the movie.

    “Well, I would love it if they could take all the guns away. Unfortunately, you can’t do that so you hope that good people in the world have them to protect the people who can’t protect themselves,” “Certainly, I haven’t used a gun anywhere other than on a movie set and I’d like to see if we...

    And this is exactly why MidwayUSA can kiss my ass.

    Yeah, for me, Midway is a vendor of last resort. If someone is remotely close to Midway's price, I go with the other vendor. I used to go through the checkout process to figure out which is cheaper with shipping, but I have just gotten too lazy to do it... Midway is more expensive 95% of the time.

    Analysis of Mass Shootings

    Oh... and one more fact. Compare some of the states with the least gun control laws to some with the most. Far from an in depth study, but this should give you a feel. I picked California where I used to live, and Illinois, that continues to pass illegal gun control legislation. In the other...

    Analysis of Mass Shootings

    According to FBI statistics, in 2012, 50% of murders were committed by handguns, while 2.5% of murders were committed by rifles (any kind). Shotguns were 2.3%. 14.5% were unknown firearms, 12.4% were committed with knives, 12.8% were committed with blunt objects (baseball bats, tire irons...

    Analysis of Mass Shootings

    Pretty interesting stuff. I have looked through a lot of the data and knew that assault rifles were a red herring, but have not really seen mass shooting data: Crime study: Handguns, not 'assault rifles,' used in most mass shootings | WashingtonExaminer.com Robert Klein of Time actually...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 - what would you spend $1000 - 2000 on if you had the cash

    It is very difficult to find a nice selection of semi-custom 1911's. This is good generic advice for picking a pistol. You can find Glocks for rent everywhere and won't have a difficult time tracking down Sigs and M&P's. HK's and FN's are a bit tougher to find. It is very easy to try a lot of...

    Eletronic ear muffs

    I have been using Pro Ear Gold. They are bulky, but they are comfortable and noise reduction is great.

    Lasik

    A couple of comments: 1) If it has been a year since surgery, he might want to do a touch up. Usually, they do those inside of 6 months to make an extra refractive error change. While they carve away the tissue with an idea of what best vision should look like, if they have to get rid of a lot...

    Auburn VS FL state in BCS National Championship Game

    Anyone who sells his team down the river several years in a row while leaving recruiting violations in his wake is low class. That said, he is an excellent offensive coordinator. I couldn't believe it when USC hired him as head coach. Luckily, after his public humiliation, I think he will be...

    Auburn VS FL state in BCS National Championship Game

    I am biased, but I still think the TX/USC game in '06 was the best championship game of the BCS era followed closely by the Ohio State / Miami game in 2003. This game was number 3. The reason that I am not ranking this game higher is that FSU wasn't playing their best ball. Jameis Winston was...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Getting back into handguns; realistic/good accuracy at distance question

    At 15 yards, a good 10 shot group is under 2.5" and a good 20 shot group is about 3". This is shot as slowly as you care to go. There are two philosophies of shooting. Some say start fast and try to get more accurate. Some say start slow and accurate and speed up. The latter approach seems to...

    ATF: Legal Medical Marijuana Use Makes It Illegal to Buy a Gun

    Some states have gone against Federal law by allowing controlled substances. All a state can do is choose not to enforce, which is what CO has done. We have moved away from being a nation of laws. I am not sure how the Federal government has the constitutional right to ban drugs in the first...

    Lasik

    I am 4 weeks post-op. I still have dry eyes, but I have figured out a better way to apply the drops. I tilt my head back and lift my lower eyelid while putting a single drop in each eye trying to hit the pupil. The excess lubricant runs under the lower eyelid, then when I lower my lower eyelid...

    Lasik

    Good news! You still have not taken narcotics. Valium is a sedative (a depressant). It will not kill pain, but it will relax you and make you tired.
