Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. In case anyone was looking. http://www.brownells.com/reloading/powder/rifle-powder/hodgdon-powder-h4350-hodgdon-powder-h4350-8-lbs-sku749008040-34642-71189.aspx
  2. I just saw this on Reddit, I figured the pistol shooters on BE would appreciate. https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/6gjufh/my_friend_found_a_bullet_in_an_avocado_that_she/
  3. I just did this yesterday! The GF's 20 year old subaru looked like it had cataracts and was a danger to drive at night. The $10 cheap harbor freight kit in the bag has since been replaced with a $14 kit in a plastic clamshell. It's an awesome deal as the drill adapter has velcro instead of adhesive pads and there are enough pads to do a dozen headlights or so. I've used the 3m kit, the turtlewax kit, the Cheap Harbor freight kit (in a bag) and the $14 Harbor Freight kit. I've had the best results with the latest kit on a drill, but they all work reasonably well. For lasting results, seal up the lens with this suff: It more or less melts the outer layer of polycarbonate and seals it with a UV protectant. Once it dries/cures it's hard to tell that I just went to town on them with a drill. I reapply once a month and so far it's keeping the desert sun at bay. Without sealing they cloud back up in about 2 months. An old VW trick is to use 50SPF sunscreen, but your mileage may vary.
  4. Well...shit. I DQed 40 seconds into the match. Interestingly enough, the pro/sponsored teams largely elected to not spin it with slugs and double tagged it with birdshot this year.
  5. New year, new shotgun spinner tomorrow. 53 yards, 30 second slug bonus. 60 second failure to spin penalty. It's an option in the middle of a slug array, (after a rifle string and before another array of KOs and flipper clays). I'm just posting here to keep myself accountable. I had planned to Prairie Storm it at 20 yards (where the shotgun dump barrel is) but I think I'll hold that as backup. Dude building the stage with me yesterday basically told me to sack up and do the math. What's the point of making a 3 page post on the internet about it if I can't take good advice? I'm off to the range to get my slug holds dialed. I'll let y'all know how it goes.
  6. Lily Allen's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWjNFC-FinU&list=RDEMl2CigTUotY-5ZfJ4OkyM9w&index=5Youtube/Venmo playlist. Any shooter with a daughter owes themselves to listen to this. It's like a sparknotes for you.
  7. I kind of like the stock Tikka as is for hunting, so if I really wanted to build off a Tikka action, I would just buy a used Tikka. It sort of goes back to my reasoning as to why the PTG receivers were such a great deal. I'm currently in my own PTG customer service black hole at the moment. I think they make some great products, but their shipping and inventory systems are a nightmare. I've reached that point of calling every day for the past week to rectify their parts mistake, and while everyone's been friendly, it's pretty clear that they can't get act together.
  8. I'm pretty sure this qualifies you as a "Loadmaster Guru".
  9. Keep it simple. Start out with a steel at 100, shoot twice standing, transition to 2 shots kneeling, transition to 2 shots prone. Take it out to 200, and even further. Then start shaving those seconds off the par time .
  10. For me, no dust was key. The superior finish was icing on the cake!
  11. Wow. I thought 9 weeks was bad. I ordered my parts on the 29th, which included tools and off the shelf items. I received my parts today. Between now and the 29th, I received an "order is processing" email and 3 more random purchase orders. Everything was packed great, and the bottom metal looks like it was a solid buy for Black Friday. The PTG-made parts had a separate invoice in duplicate, so the box was stuffed with a total of 4 duplicate invoices. They messed up my magazine order and sent me the wrong parts. None of the parts have barcodes or inventory SKUs. Hopefully getting the right magazines won't be an issue, but it's still a PITA. It's clear from the crazy Email system, invoices, and lack of inventory checks that they need to hire a logistics shipping consultant. None of this really pertains to the quality of their blueprinted receivers, but if ,like me, Amazon Prime is your new normal then you're not going to enjoy the experience.
  12. First, I'm in a different time zone. Second, like...Dude. Sticks are like tree bones . Leaving out identical acceleration was intentional. I didn't want to tip my hand, but this is fundamentally what I was getting at. I was poking through some of my old Physics textbooks and was just wondering under what circumstances a projectile deviates from the standard equation set for uniformly accelerated (Non Hamiltonian) motion, and where the window was for introducing deviations from expected trajectories. Load density was another consideration, Mr. Kelley, for both reasons of dwell time at the chamber end and perhaps any resulting turbulance at the other end. Deformation of the bullet as the bullet entered the rifling was also a consideration. To clarify, this question isn't necessarily about absolute accuracy or long range stability (though both are corollary). It's just an attempt to discern any inherent differences between cartridges punting the same caliber bullet.
  13. I have used 2 Hornady drops with Varget- non Benchrest meters. One worked fine with normal variance given the stick size. The second one "chopped" powder more than 75% of the time. I didn't see any obvious differences between the barrels or the inserts, but I ended up returning the second one.
