Re: Steel Shoots in 2016

We may have a wheelgun squad, both me and a buddy will be there with our Revo's to be ridiculed - me mostly for my inability to reload. For some reason the magazine never fits...

Re: Caffeine and shooting

Interesting stuff. Personally I don't drink coffee before a match because for me it triggers other bodily functions, and if I can keep from taking off all my equipment(you carry alot on your body for 3-gun) and staying away from the port-o-potty I consider it a 'win'. However, I normally drink 2 cup...

Re: AR-triggers

I have a Jewell 2 stage that is awesome, but a royal pain to install/tune. I have a couple Hiperfire single stage triggers that are great - especially with 7.62(39 and 51) milsurp hard primers due to the heavy hammer fall(but light trigger due to some engineering). There are a number of 'cartridge' ...

Re: Just got kicked off the range at Bills in Robbinsdale

I'm sorry, but you speak of "covering your butts", so I'd like to know exactly what liability ownership has by not policing its customers. I'm not interested in generalities, but rather the specifics. I've never seen a Bill's RO ask to see the permit of someone (myself included), removing...

Re: Just got kicked off the range at Bills in Robbinsdale

Most ranges are generally private businesses. Do they not have the right to decide under what terms they will do business? Just as you have a right to decide who you will do business with or what you will say about their business on the interwebs. Quid-pro-quo. Seems simple, they perceive a risk, t...

Re: Just got kicked off the range at Bills in Robbinsdale

,,, As for having your tax stamp for suppressors and SBRs, a photocopy is good to go. And yes, it's for covering our butt. The ATF does regular audits and who knows if they might happen to glance in at the goings on the range. ... So you're responsible for making sure everyone one your range is leg...

Re: Just got kicked off the range at Bills in Robbinsdale

... Went to Osseo a few times but rarely do anymore as most of my friends have had bad interactions with the owner and do not want to go. Unfortunately I had a not so positive experience with Osseo related to SBR's and Suppressors. Apparently to shoot a suppressor or SBR there you need to show your...

Re: What's the straight dope on lead ammo?

I don't understand why we don't have scientific tests that are conclusive about this - and I expect that's the point. If there was a conclusive test that showed we were poisoning animals it would be a slam dunk - if not look to California for the way things will go if left unchecked(from https://www...

Re: .308 in a 7.62x51

Here is an infographic. I have seen (on the internet - so grain of salt) compelling data that you could interchange the 2, but I wouldn't. Rule of thumb: .223 is ok in 5.56, 7.62 is ok in .308 - the other ways around are not necessarily ok. http://cdn6.bulkammo.com/media/wysiwyg/bulkammo...

Re: .223/5.56 ammo advice

I'll 'ditto' YuppieJr's recommendation on Wolf Gold, if you search around you should be able to get it at/under .30/round shipped at 1k quantities. I am not adverse to using bimetal(steel case) - and have found the 62 gr variety shoots very accurately. However, most ranges and competitions ban anyth...

Re: Critical Duty?

One big difference between the two: Critical DEFENSE is for the civilian market, and doesn't necessarily pass the whole group of FBI penetration tests. Critical DUTY is real cop ammo, and has been specifically designed to pass every last one of the FBI tests, which are pretty challenging. I have th...

Re: Critical Duty?

Lucky Gunner did a pretty comprehensive test on self defense ammo in various calibers here:

Doesn't seem like a great value to me.
