So instead of a Keith type would that make it a Keith Richards?o_O:D

Can't say it any better. And I do the same for what I run in my AR rifle and pistol.

Regarding the Hornady 68gr HPBT I use 24.5grs of WW 748, CCI#41 Primer Lake City /Federal brass. My AR barrel is medium heavy zero free float , 1-8" twist, 5.56NATO chamber , mid length gas system and stainless steel. Groups average 0.5" @ 100yds

I'm not much of a shotgun person but do keep one around for home defense and varmint control. It's a older Remington 870 Express Super Mag that I redid to suit my needs. I keep it loaded so the first round chambered is a 3.5" 00 buck load. Yes the recoil is stout but not unmanageable. I'd...

You are doing a great job in being a mentor to him. Mentally and morally this is a teaching aid to teach him to keep his word via a contract. Regarding the size 12ga. nothing wrong with that at all. A healthy physically fit male teen of average to larger build ought to be able to handle it...

I have one also. I'd say in shooting mine from the covered firing line at the public range it's more like a 16" carbine.

R.R.A., N.M. 2 stage, 3.5lbs in my Rifle and Pistol.

I had one for a little while that I picked up really cheap. And the trigger pull was crazy heavy to match the weight of the slide.:barf: And while I'm primarily a Glock shooter the HK USP Compact Tactical I had for awhile gave me no problems with any of the controls. Problem is some people...

I agree, and I own one of the older 870 Express Super Mags I found at a decent price and converted into a HD Shotgun. I figure first shot of 18 00 buck pellets(3-1/2") followed by 6 2-3/4" 00 shells, if ever needed, will do.

Well what was the worse that I still have is a Mossberg 500 that I bought cheap/used to rebuild as a breaching shotgun. I've replaced the worn extractors and ejector, cut the barrel back to 19", parkerized all the steel parts. Replaced the stock with a Knoxx breachers grip and the forend...

First off if this guy is "gunkid" who cares as long as he obeys forum rules. Back to subject. Speed is important so is hitting what you are shooting at. First work on the basics then speed&shooting with movement thrown in. Also drawing while grappling and against armed opponents...

Too many people buy this rifle, which in effect more of a carbine, and a semi-auto one at that. Then cry when it does not shoot like a bolt action varmint gun or a National Match M-14/M1A. One, thing check the handguard fit. You don't want a real loose one sliding around from shot to shot.

I will never ever give one penny to the United Way. When I used to work security for one company they tried to make us give.....I refused then over what they did or tried to do to the Boy Scouts. Now I guess I'll seek elsewere for future first aide training.

Since it sounds like you do not reload your one practice ammo? I never assume anything you know what that does. I am an advocate of shooting as close as possible ammo that has the same exact recoil impulse and point of aim as my carry/home defense/zombie ammo. So if you want the same...
