It's $4600, not a true 1x, and heavy. When I can say, "hey, I could buy two swarovski's for that price," I think you are talking about a very limited audience for the product.

Yo have to be more specific. I search for cabela's on the app store, and I get 3 items. a Shopping app and two games. For android, I get the shopping app and one game, but #3 is a GPS app that isn't made by cabelas.

It reduces reciprocating mass, which affects perceived recoil. Yeah, the gun still has a certain mass that a given cartridge will shove around the same as another gun the same mass, but it doesn't necessarily seem as torquey if that mass isn't cramming over top of your grip. Also you can get a higher maximum cyclical rate, but I don't know if that realistically matters.

Just ditch the ILS mainspring housing if you are not in need of the ILS, it'll saveyou some headaches if you want to go lighter with the springs.

Are you sure on the ballistic coefficient for the S&B .223? Their basic FMJ stuff seems pretty similar to m193, and the BC for that is usually reported as .243. You are using a BC of .260 which looks closer to the listed BCs of a flat based 55gr bullet.

That article falls into all the traps it warns about. I have an iphone, nook with e-paper, and nook color. I use a lot of e-books and e-texts. Especially with the retina display, I'd argue the iphone makes a great replacement for paperbacks especially if you liek to read before nodding off and the wife likes to go to sleep earlier than you. However, it STINKS for texts, lots of technical books, electronic periodicals, and comic books. It's also pretty unsatisfying for extended video. The ipad does all those better, but it is EXPENSIVE for a device that you goof off on. tablets are a good fit for these tasks, but they need ot be reasonably priced. Personally I like the 7" form factor more than the 10" 4:3. However the 10" 4:3 beats that for texts and technical books quite often. I'd kill for a 7" with retina display pixel density, but that would be a seriously high res screen to drive from a GPU standpoint. The fire does not have an SD card slot. Amazon wants to control what you can do to the device, so they omitted it.

Here's my recovering IT/couch potato advice. Reduce your carbs a lot. (read up on glycemic load dieting) Reduce your caloric intake enough to lose weight. Drink more water, eat more fiber. Start a basic stretching routine. It helps get your slow twitch muscles in order, and and help with back pain. For beginning activity, something with similar patterns of muscle use to hiking is a good start. Walking around the neighborhood is great if you have hills. If it is all flat, you will have to come up with something else. If you are doing the gym thing to get AC, stair climbers work great. but once again, hit the slow twich muscles and demand endurance from them. It'll help with insulin sensitivity, which in turn affects how much your body is working the "Store calories as fat" message. For the upper body, some cheap weights that can go form 5-20lbs, and look up some basic upper body exercises. IMO if you have been sitting on your ass way too much at a computer, forearm exercises will help with RSI pain in the wrists, and working on the neck and shoulders with reasonably high-ish reps (5 sets of 15-20 approximately) will get you some tone and help with neck pain from crappy posture. Throw in some pushups as you can probably add some muscle mass pretty easily form it if you work at it reasonably without going nuts. With your height weight, assuming you are pretty sedentary, that should kick off some decent weight loss and prep you for harder workouts without kicking your butt too much or risking much in the way of injury. I'm 6'7", and they tell me I should ideally be 197lbs ... my ass. starting form 272 at the same age as you, jsut the low glycemic load dieting got me down to 239.

Archos has several android devices that hover around the price point of a timer. their 32 is abnout $130 new retail. Heck, metro PCS has a no contract android phone for $130. Haven't made it through the contract lingo to see if we could game this for range hardware, but I'm considering it. waterproof cases that let you operate capacitive touchscreens through them are about $20-30 each. ziplocks don't work.

haven't seen the video, but does it look anything like this? http://www.sidearmor.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=71

Well I have a fusion .40 caliber kit which is in theory STI parts. I had some 1.135 nominal AOL ammo with plated berrys 180gr heads over between 4.4 and 4.5 grains of titegroup. It was making about 172pf. Montana gold is going to give lower velocities, and barrels vary, but it's a data point.

That's hardly unique to our niche. We have a little bit higher odds of drawing the scary type of oddballs/annoying people, but less than you might think.

I started on a lee turret. I use it along my LnL AP for low volume stuff, mostly rifle. It works out very nicely.

EGW's gauges are cut with a clymer chamber reamer, so look up the dimensions of that and you have your dimensions. For .40, I have a dillon, a wilson, and an EGW (actually 3, the 4 caliber one, a 5 hole 40 and a 50 hole 40) as one of my guns has a tight chamber, and I wanted something that would be a good proxy. From my experience, the dillon is built like they picked the nearest sized drill bit out of the box and made a hole in the thing. It is very loose to the point that something fitting in it guarantees me nothing in anything but a box stock M&P (probably also a glock). The wilson is TIGHT. To the point that several varieties of commercial ammo won't fit in it. Which makes it totally useless to me. The EGW is like a tight match barrel, and has been reliable in chamber checking loaded rounds for me. The 50 hole block is awesome as It speeds up the process dramatically, and I can stripe the case heap in it very easily. If you want something that doesn't produce too many false positives for a box stock glock, the dillon might be the right thing for you.

+1 for this. Red works best for me, but that it because for the same length of fiber, green is too bright for me and draw my eye to it TOO much. Although moving to yellow (which is greenish in the rod I have) tones it down, then I run into it fading into the greenery on the berms or the sand on the berms too much. So red it is.

I run rifle length ARFX stocks on 16" mid-length barrels (BCM). They run great on xm193. and wolf, and pmc bronze, and several revisions of my handloads that shoot velocities between the pmc bronze which was the slowest up to wolf speeds. m193 is faster than all of them. AT least it does in 70-80 degree weather. I have to wait for the cold of winter to do low temp testing on the slower stuff, but wolf and m193 ran it in 30 degree weather too. So the formula SHOULD work.

Well my 3gs the mute switch is getting weird. It will trigger the vibration and mute icon repeatedly from just barley touching it while in mute. It doesn't bring it out of mute, just makes seeing what you are doing annoying. Also, capacitive touch screens tend to be less precise at the edges. One of the nice things with the iphone is that their screen is one of the best at judging input at the edges. Mine is getting more imprecise in general, but much more so at the edges. Enough so that answering the phone and canceling alarms is getting to be a PITA. Heck, if it was the old style resistive screen like on my old palm, I'd recalibrate it, but I haven't seen such a feature on any capacitive touch device. Also, my battery life is getting meaningfully shorter. I never did make it through more than about 1.3 days, so the first 30% of shrinking didn't mean much, but it's getting to the point where I'm having to plug it in when I get home form work. Also, as the OS keeps advancing, and people get more adventurous with apps, the lack of ram on the 3gs is becoming an issue. Add into that the fact it is starting to pick up enough scratches to annoy me despite being careful with it, and it's just getting long in the tooth. I use mine a LOT, and I have to say it has significantly outperformed any plain old cellphone I have ever owned in terms of battery durability over 2+ years, as well as scratching.

Could be the velocity. The fast stuff will beat the snot out of ar500 at 50 yards. Do they put the steel close? All my xm193 has copper jackets, but I have been seeing more stuff labeled as m193 that really isn't.

165gr at about a 130-132pf are very nice handling IMO. Slide cycles quickly, it knocks over poppers better than the same power factor in 9mm (124 or 147s), slightly cheaper than 180s, and although more specific to me, muzzle flip in my M&P is similar to muzzle flip in my 2011 with major 180 ammo.

Uhh the files dropped into the directory for palm scoring are pretty basic text files. I've created them by hand. It wouldn't be too hard to make an application that just dropped files of that format in a directory you tell ezwinscore is there for a palm. That a palm wasn't used to generate that file is kind of irrelevant.

My 3gs is getting flaky, I was hoping for something that kicked butt. Upon reflection, I can't be too disappointed by it as it fixes most of my issues with my current iphone, and issues I ahd with the iphone 4. The only two things it really missed were a slightly larger screen, and fixing the issue of the rear glass. It's faster, has a better graphics chip, it ahs more RAM (not flash memory, actual RAM), and it gets better battery life in theory as well as fixing the antenna issue. About the only thing I would really have liked that it doesn't have is the IPS retina display ina 4" form factor. I have a 4" amoled android, and I love the size and contrast, but for e-reader duties, the amoled coupled with the slightly lower resolution of the phone has some issues.

Nice. I have the ultimate reloader handle, and these are cheaper, and look like they ahve a better handle. I've found the bent arm thing to be a big help getting to the bottom of the down stroke sitting on a stool without annoying my wrist any more than necessary. The ultimate reloader one is prevented from turning by having nuts both top and bottom of where it screws into the press. It keeps it form turning, and from backing out under use. That was an issue I had constantly with the stock handle,a nd I don't miss it one bit. I don't know if these have enough thread to go buy an extra nut.

Right. Just how is the weight hung from the arm so that it slides away without disturbing the plate on that arm? The shooters who have trained themselves to zig zag down the star already have choice names for us anyway. We had them engage the "death" star through a tall but narrow vertical port that obscured at least half of the star at any given time. Judicious use of sand bags (backing the port) kept them honest. We have put a stack of 5lb barbell weights on the arm itself behind the swell with the dovetail cut in it. My big issue with the MGM version is that you can shoot that part of the arm where the bolts go through, and if your ammo has enough oomph, the plate on that arm falls. These have to be metal no shoots unless you want to be giving reshoots all day long. Why would that be? Pat Because the bullet can go through a no shoot and knock a plate off when it should not be a scoring hit. That is range equipment failure, and that is a reshoot.

Sorry for ignoring the topic, it never seemed to come up in view new content for me. I think the first two have the best answer. Still not entirely complete, as it seems to be targeted primarily at determining the difference between ricichet or splatter damage vs. a bullet hole. But it is vague enough in the right places to make a guy with gimmicky ammo feel bad about wasting his money. I find it hard to argue the multiple projectile thing. It leaves one hole in the target with one shot. Trace the edge, I'm sure if you pull the target once, and hit the target, you won't be able to find more than one hole. while you might feel good about calling the thing flying through the air multiple things, when your "multiple holes" are all connected by one and only one outside edge, they aren't multiple anymore. 5.5.6 from it's wording seems to be specifically targeted at rounds such as the quadramaxum (something like that, a .357 with 4 stacked disk shaped projectiles made sometime in the second half of the 80s), or maybe shotshell ammo. As for aiming for an A and getting 3 Ds, it makes a giant hole that passes through the a zone, it's an A. Calling unsportsmanlike conduct seems lame to me as an MD. If I wanted to go down that road, I would start DQing everyone who pushed the limits of the written stage briefing. I know I WANTED to on several occasions, but in the end that's nothing more than saying "It's my match, and it'll be scored the way I want it to," which is an attitude I don't dig when on the receiving end of it. I want it scored according to the rules. Trust me, in my heart of hearts, I don't want to be tolerating this kind of useless gimmick, but I'd rather someone go home pissed off that they spent money on a truly useless item for any USPSA match, rather than just being thrown out by me for not liking their ammo.

In the gun world, debuting at the next shot, and shipping sometime after that usually means debuting at the next shot and shipping after the shot show after that. I started with a 28" field and had it cut and threaded.

Also, if you just want to shoot anything rather than USPSA, theres a WHOLE bunch more shooting, and lots of people willing to bring extra gear for you to shoot with. If so, njgunforums.com will probably have the most complete answer as what will be available within the right driving distance at the right time if you ask. It also has more local vendors than I new existed, so a good place to ask about the shopping as well.
