that guy can shoot handguns better blindfolded than i can on my best day
I'll probably get a P7 PSP at some point. I'd also like to get one of the last production MK23s aswell.Dilbert_X wrote:

P7s are nice, P9s seem to have nothing to commend them though.
Fuck Israel
I'd be interested to know how close his targets are, they don't look much further than 15-20m in which case he's fairly average.krazed wrote:

Tested out some reloads in the 308 remington 700, 10 shots @ 100 yards. If I took my time and concentrated a little more I should be able to keep them touching. Not too bad though. The distance between the 9 and 10 rings is the size of a quarter.
i love those targets but fuck they're expensive here
I buy them as "factory seconds", but haven't noticed anything wrong with them. The 5.5-inch go for $5-6 per 50 pack.
where do you get them?
So thats about a 2" group?west-phoenix-az wrote:

Midwayusa Price changes on these, I picked up some at $4.99 and some at $5.99, right now its showing $6.99. I probably have about 400 leftkrazed wrote:

Just under, I'm hoping the two off to the left are from the wind.Dilbert_X wrote:

Finally managed to borrow a Ransom Rest to test my .32 revolver
Holy fudgecakes, six shots 18mm centre to centre at 25m, edge to edge will sit inside the X-ring.
Pretty happy with my handloads too.
A bit harder shooting offhand...

Got a sniping question here.
Would environmental conditions have much effect on a round fired at a target at 300 metres, or is the distance too short to really have any consequences for the bullet pulling off course drastically?

a 10mph (16kph) crosswind could push the round about 2" (5cm) at 300m, and gravity will have added 12.5" (32cm) of drop.M.O.A.B wrote:

(210 grain .308 cal round, leaving the barrel at 2812fps. A 7.62x51 military sniper rifle is going to be a bit worse than that)
0 - 300m hold center of sights
300 - 600m dial in adjustments for windage and drop, if you need to be within 4" (10cm), otherwise eyeball the difference and just shoot
600 - 1000m definitely dial in adjustments for drop, windage. Barometer, spin drift, Coriolis (lattitude) effects, and humidity are optional factors.
1000m - 1500m gravity, windage, barometer, spin drift, Coriolis (lattitude) effect, compass direction of fire (see previous), humidity, heart rate, eye fatigue, and shooter position are each capable of causing misses. (Listed in order of importance, roughly)
1500m+ Your round has probably gone through the transonic range, and wandered off in a random direction known only to your diety and Chuck Yeager.
(transonic at 1400 yards for my 300 WSM launching 210 VLDs,
1900 yards for a .338 Lapua firing Berger 300 hybrids,
and the normal 7.72x51 sniper rifle runs into the transonic wall at 1050 yards firing the best M118LR sniper ammo issued for the .308)

Guns are a big seller on Black Friday
By Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY
Updated 19h 47m ago
WASHINGTON – In addition to the sleek flat-screen televisions, smartphones, computers and cut-rate designer clothing, Black Friday's shopping legions seized on another hot item for 2011: guns.
Gun dealers flooded the FBI with background check requests for prospective buyers last Friday, smashing the single-day, all-time high by 32%, according to bureau records.
Deputy Assistant FBI Director Jerry Pender said the checks, required by federal law, surged to 129,166 during the day, far surpassing the previous high of 97,848 on Black Friday of 2008.
The actual number of firearms sold last Friday is likely higher because multiple firearms can be included in a transaction by a single buyer. And the FBI does not track actual gun sales.
Some gun industry analysts attributed the unusual surge to a convergence of factors, including an increasing number of first-time buyers seeking firearms for protection and women who are being drawn to sport shooting and hunting.
Larry Keane, a spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, said 25% of the purchases typically involve first-time buyers, many of them women.
"I think there also is a burgeoning awakening of the American public that they do have a constitutional right to own guns," Keane said.
Yet Keane said last Friday's number appeared to defy complete explanation. "It's really pretty amazing," he said.
Dennis Henigan, acting president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said he was "skeptical" of the Black Friday gun surge.
"I think there may be no real signifcance at all," Henigan said. "It's possible that gun companies are just catching on to creating a Black Friday frenzy for themselves."
took a .410 single and modded it a bit ... shorten the barrel down to 14" and cut the buttstock to form a pistol grip
Looks kinda dumb imho
Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
lol typical floppy
Hey it's not like that's important... as long as it shoots/handles well I guess...
Just making an observation

yes, but you come into numerous threads saying stupid shit like that when someone's just trying to share something positive. like when you used to (and still do) come into threads for different games telling people how bad they suck or how you're really glad you pirated it and didn't buy it.
it's fucking annoying and it's why you annoy the shit out of people here
