Our Family Dog passed away yesterday afternoon
BigK replied to Armed Aviator's topic in General Chat
Truly awesome to hear!! I LOVE ABs and can't believe you found a puppy so quick. When my wife got me mine, it took months to find one locally. I hope it work out and the new family member helps to ease your pain, bro. -
I liked Amanda. She was pretty cool. Too bad she sucks at shooting offhand with a rifle. My wife was actually looking forward to this season, b/c of Amanda (must be a "nurses stick together thing"). Now she's let down and won't watch anymore. Any way...I thought the team challenge was one of the better ones they've had. The elimination looked like it would be fun.

I liked the last BG show, but it wasn't worth the money, especially since the RK show in M'boro is so much bigger/better. A/C or not, I'll keep going there from now on. I find way more deals I wish I hadn't passed on at RK.

I've been wanting one of these bad boys ever since the Shot Show videos came out. They've made several improvements since then, including chokes. I'm anxious to see if they come up with a heat shield, b/c that tac rail looks like it'd be melted plastic in no time.

I'm not a Mike Seeklander fan, but he kind of got screwed a little bit in the season 1 opener. Yeah, he missed the target, but they gave them a spotter for a reason...teamwork. I've shot with a spotter several times and without proper calls for adjustment you're screwed, because you have to focus on so much, including follow-thru that you can't also watch where your shots go. I think most rifle shooters could have done better, so he still shot like crap, just saying it wasn't 100% on him. I've seen him shoot waaaay better.

Music City Tactical Shooters - IDPA Match 08/06/2011

I'm trying to talk my 15 yr old daughter into coming to the Zombie Match too. -
Looking for some good/cheap 148 gr HBWC in 38 special
BigK replied to BigK's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I was advised by some experienced HBWC reloaders on another forum to I seat flush and roll crimp over the top. l followed this advice and I made 10 rounds with decreasing amounts of crimp. All were loaded with 2.7 gr of Bullseye and CCI primers using once-fired Remington brass. I fired these at 10 yard at an 8.5"X 11" sheet of paper. Some didn't even hit paper. Since they missed, I couldn't even tell where they went. I only bought a Lee 3-die set for my turret press instead of a 4-die set. I figured the roll crimp would be best, but now I'm wondering... Did I over/under crimp? At this distance I can get 2" groups with factory ammo. So, it's not me or my gun this time. I can pick up a factory taper crimp instead & go with a longer OAL (seated higher). Will this work? Will my brass last longer too? -

BigK replied to BigK's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I went with the ones from MidwayUSA. They are good enough for now. I am having trouble getting the roll crimp right. They're cold swaged, so there's no crimp grooves. I'm loading them flush and having trouble with accuracy. -
Our Family Dog passed away yesterday afternoon
BigK replied to Armed Aviator's topic in General Chat
Hearing this is an unpleasant reminder of the mortality of my own dogs. My family has an Old English Bulldog and an American Bulldog and they are our friends, "other kids", companions, and protectors. We provide for their every need, but get back 10X more from them in love and happiness. Both of ours are inside dogs and I worry constantly about them in the heat. I can only imagine your sense of loss. You have my deepest condolences. -
Depending on the extent of his injuries, the color of the gun may be more appropriate now.

the more I see these, the more I like them! Congrats...nice tool!

Music City Tactical Shooters - IDPA Match 08/06/2011
BigK replied to HOGNUT's topic in Competitive Shooting Sports
Great match as usual. David & Brandon, who came with me, seemed to really enjoy it too. Too bad about the jewelry store, looked like it would've been fun. -
Just wondering... why so much on zombies on gun boards?
BigK replied to Under-No-Pretext's topic in General Chat
Darn it Caster, you were told..."What happens in Zombie Apocalypse club, stays in Zombie Apocalypse club."...you can't go giving away the secrets like that. -
She can oil my barrell any day.

You're darn right social security is an entitlement and it always was! Let me tell you a lil' story... Once upon a time, "Generation A" was poor & broke due to their own poor decisions, like electing crappy politicians. Facing hunger and homelessness, they did what they always did...make more bad decisions. They send representatives to Washington that enact legislation that will take money from Generation B and give it to their constituents in Generation A. Despite warnings about the direction they headed and the unsustainable scope of the system, they continue to elect representatives to change the rules, replace funds with IOU's, and get more people hooked on big government to bolster their numbers. Now that there are more folks riding in the wagon than there are pulling. Those of us pulling are finally sick of the system. The ones who are now riding, had ample time/warning to keep the wagon from crashing. Instead of recognizing there's a problem, they're now justifying our sweat by complaining that if getting hosed was good enough for them all those years, it's good enough for their kids and grand-kids too.

Gen 4 grip is the only one I can get my paws around comfortably enough to shoot well. Otherwise, I don't see the hype about the differences.

Thank you for your service and welcome aboard. Nice looking pea-shooter, ya got there, LOL. Did you find what you were looking for about Tactical Response?
-
Hope yours hides this well...

A Dillon press is undeniably faster. I can't argue that, but... I got set up with every pc of equipment I needed (including digital scales and digital calipers) plus primers, powder, and 1000 bullets all for under $400. That was all I could afford up front and I don't regret buying my Lee turret press.

I've tried the Nemesis in regular Levi's or khakis and it was way too obvious. I prefer baggy Eotac or 5.11 type pants/shorts too, so it's not a problem. I just put it in a Don Hume IWB when I don't have big pockets.
-
Got mine, can't wait to try it out tomorrow.
-
On my way to Harbor Freight!!! Been looking forward to this for a while. Glad to hear such good comments.

I agree that it's a heavy gun, but I still pocket carry mine when I have loose fitting cargo pants or shorts. It doesn't feel much heavier than when it's iwb or owb. I use a DeSantis Nemesis and don't find it to be an issue, but I'm a big guy and I assume my pockets are bigger than someone's who wears a size 30.

The over-achieving a$$ holes at work today, thought it would be a great idea to conduct a fire drill at 2:30 in the afternoon. To make matters worse, we had to stay out there around 30 minutes too. I know I sound like a cry-baby, considering some folks have outside jobs, but I ain't used to it at all. Plus, 'business casual' and a 105 degree heat index do not work well together.
