    55 & 69 gr trajectory

    in Rifle - Technical

    Posted

    ok...zeroed my 20" ar at 200 w/55 grain stuff...shot 69smk's and they were exactly 2" low at 200. no problem, dialed in 8 clicks into my trust leupold and it's now zeroed at 200. so, at 300, how much difference will i likely see between the 55's and the 69's? i'll be testing this myself in a week or so...was just wondering if someone has already done this...

    Proposed Gee Dubya Speech

    in What I Like

    Posted

    -------WOULD IT NOT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV TONIGHT

    AND SEE G. W. BUSH GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH.....

    My fellow Americans:

    As you all know, the defeat of Iraq's regime has been completed.

    Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our

    mission in Iraq is complete.

    This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American

    Forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days.

    It is now time to begin the reckoning.

    Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries

    which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short.

    The

    United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the

    countries listed there.

    The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the

    world's Nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing

    copies

    of both lists later this evening.

    Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those

    nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved

    during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the

    Iraqi war.

    The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world

    hell-holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

    Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.

    In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this

    money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home.

    On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we

    will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of

    the

    Earth. Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe

    China.

    To Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Yo, boys. Work out a peace deal

    now. Just note that Camp David is closed. Maybe all of you can go to

    Russia for negotiations. They have some great palaces there. Big tables,

    too.

    I'm ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France,

    Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring

    from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis.

    I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN

    diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid

    tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and

    crushed. I

    don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. Pay your tickets

    tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers, and limos be turned

    over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.

    A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are

    going to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not

    pissing us off for a change. Mexico is also on List 2. President Fox and

    his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I have

    a couple extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I'm

    gonna put 'em? Yep, border security. So start doing something with your

    oil. Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty---

    starting now.

    It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens.

    Some will accuse us of isolationism.

    I answer them be saying darn tootin'. Nearly a century of trying to help

    folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying

    enmity of just about everyone on the planet.

    It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate

    homelessness in America. It is time to eliminate World Cup soccer from

    America.

    To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you.

    To the nations on List 2, a final thought. Drop dead.

    God bless America.

    Thank you and good night.

    different tec loader bracket

    in Shotgun - Technical

    I think warpspeed is right. Here's a link to the Benelli one (as it has a picture). Is this what you're looking for:

    DMW Benelli Tubeloader Bracket

    rich...believe me, it isn't that one...the ones i saw yesterday sit nicely under the arredondo speed funnel...the dmw would not. i looked it over for a minute and it looked dimensionally just like the tec version, held by the two pins (on an 1100), and sat right under the funnel. the hooks are what caught my eye...no way to miss those buggers!

    different tec loader bracket

    in Shotgun - Technical

    Posted

    saw a few 1100's yesterday at a 3 gun match that had MUCH more aggressive looking hooks for the tec loader bracket. upon inspection, it was apparent this was not made by tec, and looked aluminum...the ones i saw were under an arredondo speed funnel, so i assume the dimensions were the same as the standard tect version.

    anyone know where one can find these?

    New barrel=less velocity?

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    rebarrelled my open gun and added one of bob L's pro sx comp (bob, it's sweet). anyway, immediately noticed a drop in velocity. chrono keeps proving the point. my load was 8.2 of n350 using 115 hp montana gold bullets.

    old barrel got me to 1,470+ fps...new barrel gets only 1,428 fps. the only differences are the old barrel had about 20K rounds thru it, and was a heavier comp. both have TJ holes in them.

    can i assume the difference is that the new barrel is tighter (i.e. it ain't shot out)? anyone experience this before?

    1x7 or 1x9

    have had an eagle arms flat top since 93. beautiful rifle, and shoots great. but how do i determine the twist rate of the barrel. it's a 20', and the only markings on the outside of the barrel is "ss 5.56". i'm trying to decide if i can shoot SMK 69's & 77's. any ideas?

    Tec Loader Blues

    in Shotgun - Technical

    Posted

    maybe is wasn't clear on my post...i do have an ezloader on that 1100...i took an old receiver i had that i ruined by taking too much metal off the surrounding areas of the mag tube. i put the arredondo on it and loaded over 20 straight tubes without problems...without the ezloader. only other difference was the old reciever is seriously throated around the entrance to the mag tube. guess that's the difference, as noted by sahauptman.

    wish i hadn't ruined that receiver...

    Tec Loader Blues

    in Shotgun - Technical

    Posted

    for 5 long years i've tried to get tec loaders to work on an 1100. seen many successful folks, but i ain't one of them. finally broke down and got an arredondo funnel...guess what...no help whatsoever.

    in looking at the EZ loader, it appears that it does not go far enough down to allow for a reasonable angle for the shells to get into the mag tube. other than rounding the sharp edges, anyone got any words of wisdom on this issue? have tried 2 different receivers, and result is the same. midly embarassing, even in one's garage!

    Armscor Brass

    in General Reloading

    Posted

    I bought some Armscor Brass from the Nats. Has the jury made any decisions? I have heard some good and some bad. I only keep my brass about 4 or 5 loadings anyway before losing it and it is cheaper than Starline.

    :o

    Rob

    got a case or supercomp to try as practice ammo b4 bend. and yes, the headstamp is the same as 38 super...in fact, i found about 11 out of 1,000 were actually the wrong caliber. i won't buy them again...primer pockets really out of spec, compared to starline...smashed a bunch. also, they sure seem to be less willing to flare at stage 2, which caused a number of bullets to smash the brass on stage 3. i did not change my dies from the set i use w/starline.
