    20GT

    Hmm, I wonder if I had a barrel that had soft steel or who knows what.

    20GT

    I wouldn't do it because I had a 20x47L and those 55's were blowing up not 300 rounds later. These were going 3830fps in a 9 twist. Fortunately 40gr vmax at 4100 worked fine though. I still have my 20x47 reamer and custom dies with 100 loaded rounds if someone wanted to buy them. 20 Dasher...

    AGT Uragan 3 video

    I had two 1st generation Uragan's and both were decent lacking any problems. Didn't have a 2nd generation. Do have a AGT Vulcan 3 and it is superbly reliable as well as precise.

    Oh XRP went to $3.55 a couple hours ago but of course went back down a ways. I think that's a record so far this year.

    Darn well that's how it goes sometimes. Heck I invested a bunch of money in a new business venture around that time, an improved product over the competition, and lost it all, so don't feel bad. There really is a club of higher up buyers for huge corporations that are in with certain companies...

    I'm a late starter. Do you still have some XRP left, parents too, if so congrats?! Yeah ole Trump is right when he recently said all he has to do is say things and that affects the markets. Those tariff's scareiff's freaked the world out thus dropping the price of XRP and a bunch of others...

    I'm all excited today because XRP crypto went to a $3.30 high this morning!! Edit, it's gone up 47% in the last 4-5 weeks.

    From the time of this post above XRP went down again below my buy-in so these funds were stagnant for months. Long story short I missed some great opportunities to sell and rebuy at a lower price. I learned that exchange companies will manipulate the price dips to go hugely below what the lowest...

    Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

    Now you know what I was meaning when you first got the QuietKat last year. Your QK and my Bakcou are somewhat similar. More of what I call a "truck bike" except not up to serious MTB trails but still good for hauling stuff. Glad you got the Giant EMTB's! These type 1 EMTB's are much more fun...

    I wish there was another way to do the chain drive train other than having a derailleur hanging down but it is what it is. I managed to bend the derailleur on two of my bikes. The bike shop just bent them back but the shifting is barely acceptable on one of them. It's kind of a back up ebike(the...

    Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

    I'm finally getting in summer shape again, meaning I did 17 miles with 2 other old guys today on EMTB's on blue difficulty trails. Ha sounds silly compared to Jbell. One of these guys is 79 years old, was a triathlete, and it's amazing how well he does. But this week a friend my age, 65-ish...

    Rifle Scopes Deciding on deer rifle optic

    Just two weeks ago I shot a yote at 190Y with my 5mmFBI with a Athlon Heras 4-20 SFP scope on top but it was on 16x and just then another one came out at 60Y running off to the side. The FOV was too small to track it while running so it got to the trees. I put it on 12x to try that out for next...

    I applaud you and Thank God for people like you who steadfastly endure the extra time spent, hard work involved, and occasional headaches !!!

    Long gong

    Darn! All I can think of is if you can maybe trade some entry fees for some help. You probably already tried that and still didn't get the hoped for response?!

    Long gong

    You MD's don't get paid near enough! Hopefully you have lots of help or at least some. We have a small FT club but the MD and half a dozen other guys, including me, had our 24 steel targets set up in 45 minutes and half that time to put it all up. Many of us camp out at this location, a...

    Long gong

    I like Hozer's and Lash's match concepts. IT keeps things more interesting. Also prefer to go to matches that offer higher hit ratios because it sucks when someone is a more talented shooter and only gets a 50% hit ratio but sucks worse for less talented shooters that get 10%-20% hit ratios...

    Rifle Scopes Deciding on deer rifle optic

    The LHT 4.5-22 is the least bang for the buck scope I've come across so it's on a rifle I rarely use. The Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15×50 is the best I've come across for the price as far as hunting goes. If this had daylight bright illume I'd rate it as good enough that I'd put the thought out of...

    PCP reliability and accuracy/precision

    I started with airguns as a boy, then got into firearms comps and of all kinds until 5 years ago but also airgun comps for the last 25 years and currently still do. I reload for all my centerfires so I know all about it and have gone down the rabbit hole of trying to squeeze everything I can...

    Quality BB gun?

    I'm really not trying to be contrary but a Gamo springer is one of the worst for a few reasons, however 20 years ago they were better made than recently.
