Are you sure? It looked like they were behind the last I checked.......

Anytime a politician uses the phrase 'common sense', I know it's all B.S. and I tune out.

Great, thanks for the clarification folks!

I'm doing a little reading about reloading .40 S&W, and there are warnings in the Hodgdon Manual about only loading for those firearms that fully support the cartridge in the chamber.   I've seen mentions of supported vs. unsupported chambers in my light research on various forums as well.  I'm a little confused though-  what exactly is a supported vs. unsupported chamber?   Is there more to it than a .40 cal is a .40 cal?    

I've started to believe the same thing.  It's almost got to be fixed somehow.  Tin foil, and all.

Bingo. edited to add, I like dogs and cats. I've had cats that were better than lots of people I've met.

Bingo.

I went around 130. Made a lap, then said hi to David and grabbed some powder and left. I think there were more pocketknives than anything.

The report I saw said they were stopping selling them because no one was buying them. Perhaps because everyone that ever wanted one bought one (or six) within the last 2 years, and the market is flooded.

Check livelink. It was up earlier today.

Have fun. Mineral spirits, turpentine, repeat. Etc.

Thats funny right there.....

I've always loved shotgun sports. Just getting my son involved in ATA- he just shot his first match this weekend at Maury Co., and he's pumped!

They were also careful to add that it was an AR15 'assault rifle', and that the guy had been to a local range "where anyone could show up and fire weapons, whether they had a license or not". Good grief. Facts just dont make good news, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Hey folks- thought I'd ask here in the event any of you has any ideas about how I might do this. My garage has become too hot to work in, and I need to change that. I have a good window AC unit that I'm not using that I can easily plug in and run, but what I'm struggling with is how to vent the hot air coming out of the unit to the outside. I cant figure out any way to do that without opening the garage door partway, which would negate anything I'd gain by running the unit in the first place. Anyone ever do anything like this, or have any ideas how I might vent that hot exhaust air to the outside? Thanks

Yep. As the old saying goes, gun control is not as much about guns as it is about control. Politicians prefer disarmed subjects.

Depends. Time is money.

Thats interesting- my experience has always been the exact opposite.

Sorry, I should have updated. I carried there in January. ..no postings, no issues.

Thats my 'home range' and I try to say hello to Charlie whenever I go. He's helped me out several times too. Great guy.

My loads with CFE223 generally eject at 1 or 2 o'clock, and chrono in the range of factory rounds.

Thanks for the replies guys.  My thinking is pretty much in line with your suggestions-  I appreciate your responses.

So I've been working up my handloads in .223 Rem, and have reached a point where I'm not sure what I'd gain if I continue.  Maybe some of you folks can lend some thoughts.   First of all, my main reason for starting to handload is to a) have a fun new hobby, and b) make me less reliant on what ammo any area retailers or online vendors happen to have in stock (or not). If it saves me any cash in the long run, great. If not, then reasons a and b above still apply.  I do not pretend to be a sniper, and getting a tiny MOA of accuracy at 600 meters is not of any concern to me.   So, my working up of my load is mainly to just have more ammo available, and if I can make it more accurate, consistent, etc. that what factory ammo is, then so much the better.   As I have worked up my current load, I also chronographed 3 different brands of factory ammo as a point of reference.   Remington UMC 55gr 223 =          Avg. velocity = 2807 fps Fed/American Eagle 55 gr 223 =   Avg. Velocity = 2740 fps PMC 55 gr 223= Avg. Velocity =    Avg. Velocity = 2716 fps   All this is through my 'test' AR, 1x9 twist, carbine length barrel.    The load I've worked up to is 26.2gr  CFE223, Hornady 55gr FMJ-BT bullets, and Wolf Small Rifle Primers ( I also have CCI 400 primers, and find that my velocity decreases with those, FWIW). As of yesterday. that combo gives me an avg velocity of 2767fps, which is just slightly faster than the Federal/American Eagle.   This charge weight, according to the Hornady manual, puts me about 2/3 the way up the scale before the max charge/danger zone.   According to the Hornady manual, I still have 1/2 to 1 grain more leeway to load if I care to, but everything is working well and I'm basically right in the middle of factory ammo velocities as is-   I know that one should load for accuracy and not velocity-  but accuracy has as much to do with me as shooter as my load, without the means to mount my rifle to something to keep it motionless while I fire off groups of different charge weights...but anyway-   I'm also developing the load to work reliably across different rifles, with different twist rates and barrel lengths- not just the one I'm using for load development and testing.   So, short of testing my load in any different rifle I may use it in and making sure they all function and cycle properly, is there any reason for me to continue working my charge weights up the scale?  Heck, theoretically, I could decrease my load to mimick the PMC load- it runs fine in all my rifles-     I have also been confused about published .223 velocities of, say, 3100fps, and that's not what I'm seeing, but it may well just be that I'm using my rifle and not the one that manufacturers use to come up with that number-   A little long and rambling post, but thanks for any thoughts you may have-

Molon labe :)

Yep, I wont buy Levi's. They are anti gunners. I go with wrangler.
