It was a very good test...
One of the problems with hollowpointing FMJ bullets is that the typical FMJ jacket is THICKER at the nose than the base. Purpose-made HP ammo has a thinner jacket to facilitate expansion.

I've been involved in experimental aviation since I was a kid. I owned a Baby Lakes biplane. It would do plus or minus more G's than I wanted to experience, fully aerobatic. (I wasn't). The guy...
The Bushby Mustang is a small experimental single seat monoplane. Neat little thing, but nowhere near a P-51, maybe 150-180 horsepower, tops.

I took the original Army version back in 1968 and had scores in the 130-145 range. Had to retake the series to join the Texas Air National Guard in the early 1980's and maxed the whole set. ...
That's the replacement to "don't ask, don't tell." That's "surprise me!"
It is fitting that honor and bravery in the face of the enemy be recognized.

Maury--
I had a Gunsmoker before i had a house fire. Slowly but surely I'm re-equipping myself. I wasn't really happy with the Gunsmoker, but I still liked it better than a spray can.
I'm...

I couldn't find them in the CC online catalog...
Ordered one from the link above.
Camp Perry is a bit of a drive from down here on the gulf Coast. I made it once, though, but it's...
Kerwin--
Thank you for that link. I've been looking for a carbide sight blacker since Champion's Choice stopped carrying them.

Nah... it's a characteristic of certain propellants...
In the never-ending quest for reloading components, I found that Sinclair International has Sellier & Bellot large rifle primers in stock. I ordered some based on Sinclair's reputation but I've...
My first car was a '54 Ford CustomLine. V8. Paid $60 for it in 1967. Sold it for $60 a year later and bought a 1966 VW Beetle for $600.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such...
Gonna really be interesting come autumn when folks start traipsing into WalMart before hunting season...

My dad was Navy. Started the war as a shipfitter, transitioned, like the military often does, into a coxswain on a landing craft. Never got into combat but was headed with the vast thundering herd...
That was a different era in history. Market hunting kept many a family going, and that's what the punt gun was made for.
Incidentally, it's illegal to hunt with, but some of these things were...
He couldn't have been at the range. The Lautenberg Amendment prevents people under domestic violence restraining orders from possessing guns.
Yes, they could have picked a place somewhat less...
Surprisingly, a trip through the wash and rinse cycles of your washing machine will work quite well. We used that after field training in Germany. If you throw it in with a few bath towels, it cuts...
Plus it smells really good.

I haven't had an opportunity to listen to ALL of what Rush said Monday, but he was pretty deep into sarcasm when he was 'praising' The One for decisive military leadership.
Giving Obama credit for...
I got of the Army before the Abrams hit the field, but you'd be surprised how a few inches of armor cuts down the noise. Even my M60A1's 105mm was a shake and a clank (from the ejected casing) when...
Uhhhh... the rifle is clearly bogus.
Me being a nice guy and all, though, I hate to see somebody lose money, so if you'll send me a shipping address, I'll send you a box and you can sent the...
