  1. Pennsylvania Semi-Autos for Big Game

    The magazine limit rather than a round count limit is prohibitive, most AR 15 rifle magazines are currently available in 5 round. To purchase 3 round magazines would be expensive! I prefer carrying my A5 15 rifles with 5 round magazines as the rifle handles better.
  2. Pennsylvania Semi-Autos for Big Game

    In my day that was true!
  3. 45acp or 9mm

    Shoot what fits your hand and style. I really like the 1911 in 45ACP but I also have a Glock 19 and 31 because while I like them I don't care much about them, if they get bitched up so what! For concealed carry I have a Makarov 9x18. True story, a pharmacist friend got robbed, he popped the guy...
  4. Old but still lethal 30-06 on Elk.

    If it's not broken, don't fix it!
  5. What the big deal with Adjustable Gas blocks?

    I have no need, but there are some who have screwed systems and do need.
  6. 30-06 barrel length

    In my youth I went a little magnum wild, I have a 358 Norma Magnum with a 30" tube. Way too much cartridge! But it still shoots sub moa and is fun to play with.
  7. 30-06 barrel length

    I dug into this and I'm suggesting powders between Winchester 760 and Reloader 22 in burn rate depending on bullett weight and barrel. The throat cutting issues exists with a custom 06 as well as a 30 magnum. To be accurate I'd need to start the process over again since the evolution of...
  8. 30-06 barrel length

    That's gotta have some recoil.
  9. 30-06 barrel length

    Depending on the bullet weight and use. I'll do some research and post back. A lighter weight like 168 used for longer distances would require a different powder than a 190+ grain for elk and bear. In the past I've done well with the lighter weights with a burn rate around Winchester 760. The...
  10. 30-06 barrel length

    In my opinion a custom 30-06 for me would have a 26" tube and a custom load and I wouldn't have a 30 magnum.
  11. Who else is bothered?

    That does not mean that there are enough buyers to generate profit at the level the manufacturer wants nor the accuracy level the general public is willing to pay for. It's a numbers game.
  12. Who else is bothered?

    It's possible that the true match quality ammunition market is too small to bother with.
  13. What do you hate the most?

    To be honest the thing that just make my farts stink is that while being retired, I just can't put together enough time in one block to process in its entirety an 800 round count of brass!!! I got 30 carbine and 223 that I use in volume enough to have need of a ready to load reserve. WTF! I...
  14. Media Hysteria Over Bolt-Action Rifles

    I have 5 of them.
  15. Can a rifle zero a given factory load well, but at 500 yards throw rounds all over?

    Short answer, YES! Long answer, I have 2 rifles in 223 and 1 in 556.45, one rifle is a breakopen for training the grandkids, one is a serious varmint rifle on a Howa 1500 varmint action. The third, a 5.56x45 is a serious 1990's SPR on a Colt A2 HBAR, in LE/Delta configuration. The difference...

  17. Tech assistance?

    Good for you!!!
  18. Tech assistance?
