    I think our gun rights are about to come under heavy attack.

    I don't think he's being dense about it ... it's just that our 2A Rights are under assault by the anti-gunners every second of every minute of every day. No one single event ... it's drip, drip, drip, drip. We must stay vigilant. We must contribute financially to those fighting on our behalf...

    First perfect score at Army Marksmanship Course

    That's outstanding! I've been on those ranges, through similar courses at Benning, quite a few times. You gotta be in serious shape to run that course and still max out your card.

    Is Whether Or Not You Can Legally Carry The Deciding Factor On Where You Go?

    I'm never completely unarmed. I refuse to have my fangs pulled by the deep state NWO Globalists crowd. Being armed doesn't always mean having a firearm on one's person. But, there are states that I have vowed to never visit again. California, Massachusetts, Oregon, Illinois and New York. That's...

    So here's your choices. Home defense pcc/sbr/carbine (you only get one of two choices) ...

    I guess I'm a bit confused about the ramifications of the word "contrived?" adjective Obviously planned or calculated; not spontaneous or natural; labored Oh well ... anyway, let's move on. So Old Dog ... you're saying you would choose 45 ACP (supressed) as your sidearm and your PCC in...

    So here's your choices. Home defense pcc/sbr/carbine (you only get one of two choices) ...

    You know, if you are so inclined and it's being discussed A LOT with this latest ATF braced pistol mess in limbo ... but you know, if you weld your suppressor to your barrel and it totals over 16" then you're good to-go and you don't have to worry about the SBR stuff ... or, I think that's how...

    So here's your choices. Home defense pcc/sbr/carbine (you only get one of two choices) ...

    No uh uh .... the PCCs are actually lighter than the 300 BLK platforms, I was just trying-to make it fair keeping it within 8 oz. And I came to that average after weighing my Aero Precision 8.3" 9mm build and my PSA AR-V 7" PCC against my SIG MCX 8.5" and my PSA 8.5" build both in 300 blk. I...

    So here's your choices. Home defense pcc/sbr/carbine (you only get one of two choices) ...

    Crossbow? Double-barrel 12 ga? Adlai? Throwing axe? Shurikens? But seriously, you do bring-up a good point. What if the choices were a PCC in 45 ACP and 200 gr high performance JHPs vs 300 BLK in 190-210 grain whatever design projectiles? If it's projectile weight that a few feel limited-by...

    Bottom line, where military and former military now in charge of security for private companies and/or nuclear facilities, etc., are concerned ... weight will always play a major factor. Then distance comes into play and PPE and opponent's PPE and everything else. So for everyone that thought...

    So here's your choices. Home defense pcc/sbr/carbine (you only get one of two choices) ...

    Well, several variables and nuances in play. I was surprised when he told me the HRTs and SRTs had converted back-to 9mm PCCs using 147s. He said there are a couple of major advantages .... lower recoil, interchangeable magazines and loads marry with their sidearms, and less weight per operator...

    So here's your choices. Home defense pcc/sbr/carbine (you only get one of two choices) ...

    Weight ... same reason they went from 147 gr 7.62 to 55, 62, 77 gr 5.56. We're talking home defense, not hunting. Hunting is a horse of a different color. The velocity is not artificial ... it's physics. It's speed of sound limits. Mathematically it's M = u/c. Again, we're talking home...

    So here's your choices. Home defense pcc/sbr/carbine (you only get one of two choices) ...

    That is factually incorrect friend. I even linked to the 150 gr Maker's offerings (see above) that handloaders are using to load 150 gr subsonics with excellent expansion. I've been loading 147 pulldowns subsonic for a couple of years, that I train and plink-with, using 1680, CFE BLK and N120...

    So here's your choices. Home defense pcc/sbr/carbine (you only get one of two choices) ...

    The projectile weight limit is to keep things comparatively equal given other considerations. There are weights to take into consideration, among other things not yet mentioned, but the 145-150 parameter is for a reason. (BTW fwiw I run heavier Maker's and Lehigh projectiles in my 300 BLK...
  13. Airborne Falcon

    So here's your choices. Home defense pcc/sbr/carbine (you only get one of two choices) ...

    Both of these are supressed. Both are firing 145-150 grain projectiles. Both are subsonic. Both are AR platform PCC or SBR configurations. Bottom line, AR platform, short barrels (let's say equal lengths +/- 1"). Both have the same lights affixed. Both weigh roughly the same unloaded within...

    Load development vs plinking ammo

    Just depends for me. I do reload a lot for plinking ... 5.56 and 9mm, 44 Mag, 357/38 and some 45 ACP. But I reload a lot for hunting rifles and precision rifles and I do have my pet loads for my EDC carry pieces and truck guns. And I'm fairly picky about how I reload for my M1As. I've got a...

    Ever tried to duplicate a particular/specific factory load?

    It has been suggested to me that VihtaVuori is used in more factory loads than anything else ... rifle and pistol. Now, I don't know if that comes from their dominance in Europe combined with their marriage-to Speer and Sierra but, I have noted that I get very good results from VihtaVuori...
