Re: New life starts to develop today!

I find it interesting how different the dispositions of the different breeds are. We also raised meat birds last year - rock cor...

Re: What Do Democrats Have Against Guns and Gun Rights?

Thanks for passing it on PTK.
It is refreshing to see R.P. shaking up the system as much as he is.
Too bad he isn't as effective when debating as he is expressing himself in written word. He nailed it the other day though:

Re: Looking for .22LR subsonic ammo that will not cycle acti
It obviously isn't as quiet as they advertise, but it isn't as loud as any of the 3 brands of CB when fired in an unsupressed rifle with a 22" barrel. I believe they are using really fast burning powder. Same velocity, 33% more mass, more accurate (for several of my rifles), and less noise than CB. ...

Are you using a crimp? I tried both with and without. 4" to 6" groups at fifty regardless of what I do (powder, trim length, OAL, etc).

Re: AAC SCAR-HD with holes???
Linked pic from an ARF thread (not my pic):

When we tested the SCAR the operators had a lot of dislike for the holes. They made a huge flash at night and kicked up a lot of dust and sand when shot from the prone.

I'm still having problems getting these to shoot accurately. Has anyone else experienced this?
I can see with my naked eye that some of the tips are misshapen. Perhaps this is causing the problem.
