Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Keith and CCS board, Thanks for a great match! It was worth the drive and I deeply enjoy my time with all you "northeners." Your hard work and efforts are appreciated. Trey
  2. At a USPSA level II match, I ran into the non-standard language. I thought I would have some fun. "Do you understand the course of fire?" Nope, I thought I would try a practice run first to figure it out then do it again. Thanks for asking though. "you...you can't do that..." "why not?" "only 1 run per shooter." "Then why did you ask me?" pat on the arm. "Just kidding. But you should not ask questions you don't want an answer to. You are not using the standard range commands for USPSA and it confused me. Come on, let's go."
  3. Bear Creek does not have an official website. The website most people get is from a dealer for Bear Creek who has not updated his website in years. It does confuse people. The Owner is really old school and prefers to work by phone and work through his dealers. I know it's irritating to those of us in the modern internet age, but good quality bullets at a good price is worth the hassle. I've seen 300k of bullets go through our local dealer the past few years in all sizes with no back order. I don't have the number for Bear Creek, but if you PM me I can give you the number of our local dealer and maybe he could help. Having a local dealer has really been a great boon to shooters here. Hopefully you could get hooked up like we are.
  4. Local dealer here has Bear Creek moly 147 9mm for $60/1K.
  5. Since we have the same dealer and I shoot BC 147 9mm, I know the cost. $60/1K
  6. Money is tight for me also. Bullets are going to be your biggest expense. I am fortunate to have a bear creek bullet dealer in my area. $60/k for 147 9mm, local pickup. Bullseye powder at 3.0g per charge, gives me alot of rounds per lb of powder. Accuracy is great as well. 3-4" at 30 yards with my g34. I would contact bear creek to see if there is a dealer near you. Cost, accuracy and function are great. Hope that helps.
  7. My TS upper needed to be shimmed to fit properly on my 22/45 lower. I would try a non-permanent solution first before gluing things in. The shims my gunsmith fit are removable. Hope that helps.
  8. Thank you BOD for listening. Thank you Chuck for keeping us informed and putting up with us.
  9. The mean of a sample is fairly equivalent to the mean of a population. So this poll would actually give you a decent example of what the whole population would look like. (clinical lab scientist here and I did receive an A in statistics and quantitative analysis) Hope that helps.
  10. I've tried 160 round nose in my G34 with a stock barrel and the current kkm gunsmith fit barrel. Accuracy has sub-par and was keyholing. I believe going past 150 grains is just too much weight for the twist rate, in either barrel, to stabilize the bullets. I've had excellent results in accuracy, recoil and functioning with both 147 moly tc and 150 moly rn over bullseye. YMMV but I hope that helps.
  11. I think total it is 600-650 but I'm not running a red dot. I want him to learn good trigger control with a pistol. He does fine with a fiber optic iron sight.
  12. For my third grade boy, I built a Ruger 22/45 with a TS upper. The polymer lower and aluminum upper makes it uber light. A gunsmith friend custom fit a slide racker to the bolt to make it easier to manipulate. Reliable, light and pretty thin. There are smaller .22's but they haven't shown the reliability I desired. Hope that helps.
  13. I have the older style AA mags. They are the same size and dimension as my glock mags. If your standard stock mags work, then you AA mags should work. But with standard mags and a mag well, the mag has to be pushed up and in to seat the magazine. Hope that helps.
  14. You can use a band aid or paper tape to reduce the chance of you skin getting bit. I prefer the paper tape as it is thinner and sticks overall better.
