    Worst box of factory ammo

    Had a box of 45 ACP hydra-shocks that had no powder in them. Bought two boxes, one to test for functioning and one to carry. First box had no problems, second box I loaded into a pair of magazines. Carried that ammo for a year then took it to the range one day to burn it up and replace with...

    "Other than gas operation"

    You are joking right? It is easier to get an AR to shoot than it is a bolt gun. Float a good barrel....that is it. No action truing, no bedding receivers, no nothing. Install a quality barrel with a cheap DPMS aluminum forend, check the receiver fit and bolt/carrier travel to ensure nothing...

    new DCM shooter... help!

    Their concern is with hotter loaded 5.56 rounds designed for a different throat configuration. Mil brass can possible have a smaller case capacity than commercial, other than that it will work fine for your purposes.

    Is this common at IDPA matches?

    Don't feel bad, some people take themselves too seriously. When I was actively involved in IDPA I was the club leader in accumulated penalty times. One of the other ROs actually changed his make ready commands.... RO-'Does the shooter understand the course of fire?' Me-'Yup' RO-'Does...

    new DCM shooter... help!

    Midway was virgin lake city on sale right now. This is non-crimped brass. Sierra matchkings are a good bullet to start with. They have a proven performance record. A 69gr SMK over 25.0 gr of Win 748 is a pretty well respected load for the short course. If it does not work then most likely...

    Actually finding a good penetrating oil?

    There is a lead 'solvent' available at your local grocery store. But it is highly toxic after use. The used solution contains lead acetate which is highly soluble in water and easily absorbed by the human body. Combine 50/50 white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Plug the end of the barrel...

    We have the 450 Bush for AR15 Why not 450 for AR10?

    Hollow Point .308 for deer in Missouri?

    Really depends on the bullet. I have had good luck and know of several others who have used the Berger VLDs on game with excellent results. The heavy SMKs in the 300 whisper do a good job on deer. I would say that shot placement is orders of magnitude more important than the bullet used. I...

    Should be fine, would be no different than have the barrel replaced with another factory spec barrel.

    SBS/SBS or Automatic

    I'd have to go with short barrel shotgun. I wish I could just chop my grouse gun at the end of the magazine. Would be so much handier in the really thick stuff. I've pretty much given up on the shotgun and taken to a .22 pistol or .38 revolver and hope to catch them n the ground or in a tree.

    Ever been cheated in a trade?

    If you mailed the barrel to him then I'm pretty sure you can go after him via postal inspectors for mail fraud.

    Why you need to use proper rifles in an adequate caliber for DG hunting.

    I wasn't comparing it with anything. Separate paragraph, separate thought. Just trying to illustrate where the notion of lower pressure rounds being better for africa came from. I got the impression that you didn't think the .45-70 was suitable from a comment a previous poster made. I...
