  1. Sounded cute? Take it from an old radio guy... she could have been a 400 pounder, or even worse. :-)
  2. I would loan you mine if you were closer.
  3. Billy Block shot the video. My tower.
  4. I wonder if I can get a time share. I figure I'm gonna have some buddies in the other place too. Shouldn't be too bad in the winter months.
  5. The chrony probably runs on 5 volts. Most of that kinda circuitry does. Give it a couple volts to cover regulator droput, and it should run fine on 7 or above.
  6. We're gonna need something better than a tin foil hat. They already came after me once . Blew up a bunch of our toys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMpm7oHNivg
  7. There's a sling swivel on the bipod
  8. Well, we know the chrony is lying for some reason. You could also back it off some more if you're feeling confident . I'm thinkin' a 45 slug in the kisser might knock it out of calibration
  9. You can also confirm muzzle velocity with bullet drop. If you can boresight the pistol at 25 yards with a laser, then the drop will be a direct indication of muzzle velocity. This chart is a 200 grain CCI flat nose bullet at 940 fps (spec) and 300 fps. If you wanna try this, give me the ballistic coefficient of your cast bullets, and i can rerun it. It's gonna be close to this one anyway. EDIT: Note that trace 2 is labeled 940 as well, but I edited the mv to 300
  10. I suspect the chrony too. How close are you? It may be seeing some muzzle blast.
  11. I'm not a reloading guy, but... I would load a few rounds with the same formula and jacketed bullets. I would also use some factory .45 ACP loads as the control. Something is lying to you... chrony, gun, or bullets.
  12. Went to Outpost. Bought the Tapco tool. Doesn't fit the DPMS sight. I went out on the Midway site, and it said that in the reviews. Something ain't milspec. So, i'll be using the Garufa bullet method. Wasn't a total loss. Bought some ammo on stripper clips and a couple more PMAGs. The PMAGs were 11 bucks. Cool place.
  13. Yep. the more stoned they get, the slower they get. Riding with a pot head doesn't scare me at all.
  14. I used hoppe's #9 since I was a whipper snapper, but have become a big fan of Hoppe's Elite in the last couple of years. I have several bore snakes. They're great. I always finish with a rod and oily patch
  15. At least they got one thing right.
  16. Never pegged them for lefties. I was around them quite a bit when we moved Rock 103 from Beale Street to the burbs. The whole D&Z staff used to put the station on auto pilot and go on a smoke break. Fun times
  17. I agree with that. Just can't figure out who would pony up the cash
  18. Aren't we stretching a little calling permit holders sheeple? I agree that there's no such thing as safe areas anymore. There are certainly low risk areas and times of the day. I'm forced to be disarmed BY LAW in some risky places. I'm forced to be disarmed by my employers. If I could go through life armed 100% of the time, I would. Some folks are lucky that way.
  19. I'm not talking firearms expensive, unless maybe you're talking some Barrett 50's. I've seen the bills on some video shoots/production when we supplied talent. I think the state video is cheesey for a reason. It may be possible to get it done, but won't be easy or quick without a serious budget.
  20. Real video production is expensive.
  21. Drake and Zeke ARE good ole boys. Never talked politics with them, but they're fun to hang out with. Haven't heard their show since they left Rock 103.
  22. The GOP can't get anywhere without TP.
  23. I'll be prepared, as soon as I get my sights bumped in
  24. Yeah, I was afraid of that :-). Should I call ahead, or are you sure they have stock on the tool?
  25. If they sell them, I'll just run down and grab one. Gonna be bumping the sights in at Stones River. i want to see the place anyway. never been there
