  1. Alright I wasn't going to do this but, you asked for it...Best topping EVER for Good Vanilla icecream.DP's PB & Chocolate fudge sauce: Take notes, this is complex. :rolleyes: Micro safe ramiken. Heaping table spoon of smooth PB (Jif works well) and roughly same amount of Hershey's chocolate syrup."Mike" it 10-15 sec, stir and repeat until smooth and hot. DO NOT OVER HEAT the PB will "break" and then it's ruined, start over.But when you learn to get it right, this is THE most decadent topping for ice cream you ever tasted.And before ZHunter asks, you have to let it cool before applying it to ANY body part. :surprise:

    Had this tonight. I figured I'd bump this old thread incase anyone else needed a fix.

  2. Since arrays are typically 8s or 6s it would be best if you could get to a minimum of 16+1 ( 17 or 18+1 would obviously be better). I would be shocked if you couldn't get an extended base pad of somekind. You'd only need 1 or 2.

    Having said that... in answer to your question, yes, I don't see any reason you couldn't get to A with what you have if put in the time and the rounds.

  3. One possibility is a combination of the shape of the nose of the bullet and your oal (as you suspected). I had trouble with one of the egw case gauges that I have checking my 9mm open ammo. The issue was that one of the gauges would take the ammo and one wouldn't (the gun ate the ammo with no problem.) Now I load really long so I started measuring a bit and it turns out one of the gauges had a chamber with a tighter throat than the other.

    If you shorten the ammo a bit and it drops in the gauge that's likely your culprit. Or you might also make up some dummy ammo and ink up the bullet with a sharpie and look for rub marks to see if the bullet is rubbing. ( Also use them to make sure the bullets aren't brushing the lands in your barrel.)

    Since I was happy with my ammo length I just took a 9mm throating reamer to my gauge so that there was a bit more room for the bullet.

  4. I try to crono my ammo at 3 different temperatures. I put one batch in a ziplock bag in a cooler with ice. I put one batch in a bag with a hand warmer pack and one at ambient ( I usually crono in the spring). That covers all the conditions I am apt to see.

  5. "incredibly advantageous": perhaps not.

    "advantageous": guaranteed yes.

    In Open Division it's about small increments of advantage. The Red Dot is an advantage on longer/tight shots.

    Also: for those competitors without as much "iron sight time" as you, it's much easier to learn and shoot a red dot well, since you don't need the mental ability to maintain focus on the front sight... with a red dot, your brain perceives the dot to be on the target, so you get to focus on the target.

    -ivan-

    Maintaining a constant target focus is good but what about seeing the dot lift? Shouldn't you be looking at the dot and watch it rise off target? Or is peripheral vision enough.

    Nope you look at the targets... the scope presents the target and dot on the same plane. You don't have to look at dot to see it.
