Federal Connection

Screenshot_20211201-103025.png

So Federal's idea is now to charge several hundred dollars a month to receive ammo as a subscription service? Because that won't hurt the amount of ammo available in retail and direct. How is this not going to affect the amount of ammo they produce and who they prioritize shipping to. Guess if you want to get 115 9mm ball you'll now have to subscribe to federal and get locked in for a year. Otherwise sit back and just hope that your local store gets 1-5 boxes a month.
And Federal cannot claim that its hurting for money, they just bumped all their prices by 15-25% this year.

Who would you have built a quality rifle?

Hey guys,

I recently started toying with the idea of having a 300PRC built. I talked to a rifle builder that is ball parking $7000 for a build on something like an AI chassis. Really I'm just trying to reality check myself and see if that is a reasonable price for a custom build or if anyone has had something done and thinks that price is way too high (or even not high enough for great quality). The last rifle I had custom work done was a Remington 700 338LM that I replaced everything except the action and bolt. That rifle with chassis was probably around $4k (not including optic/bipod) from buying the rifle, chassis and having the builder replace the barrel, brake, recoil lug, bedding chassis, cerakote etc. Any opinions are appreciated or even recommendations for a great builder.

What happened? 6.5 grendel vs deer.

So this picture is kinda graphic. I was going to post in the semi auto forum, but I figured you fellas lurking here might have a better idea of what happened. Shot this whitetail buck about 70 yards away with a 6.5 grendel, using Hornady American Gunner 123gr BTHP. Straight on shot to the chest. The entrance is larger than a soft ball. when I was processing it, the bullet was right under the skin in its hind end. There is literally no expansion. The bullet is just missing the tip and it's kinda flattened. What happened?

SOLD *Reduced* Sig Cross 6.5 Creedmoor $1300.00

LNIB Sig Cross for sale.
I purchased this rifle about 2 months ago and fired 62 rounds down the pipe.
I bought it to try hunting some deer, and never ended up going.
This rifle shoots and packs well, most commercial rounds that I tried were right about 3/4" - 1"
This rifle printed best with 147 ELDMs, I would guess that this rifle could do much better with some fine tuned hand loads.

Sale comes with everything from the factory(including box) and 1 additional 10 round PMAG.

$1300.00+shipping
Optics, magpul grip, mount,sling and mount, suppressor, bipod and monopod not included.

Partial trades:

Why do [some] people have kids?

So I know some folks, a few don’t even like dogs, because they are messy and a responsibility, yet later had a kid.

I mean no nurturing spirit, can’t even manage to fit their life around a dog who can basically care for itself with you gone as early as late puppy hood

Is it because it’s what you’re sposed to do, like getting a degree in uhh anything

Or a religious marketing thing?

I totally get some folks, they make sense as parents, but the ones who all of a sudden DECIDED to have a kid after not wanting to even want to be responsible for a pet?

I get the natural parent types, I get the stupid ones who can’t manage to fuck without having a litter, but the calculated people who all of a sudden decide to have one 🤷‍♂️

But mostly, he is a whinging bitch from NJ, who love's him some Philly football and Corporate dicks. (Idiot)

I missed the segment in question as I cannot stand his whinging bitch voice for some time now-but damn....

It does feel like they feel they need to out themselves for what they are doesn't it?!

Snowblowers

I’m thinking about getting my dad a snowblower for Christmas. He lives in the southern part of PA averages about 30” of snow per year. He’s got a decent sized driveway and a lot of sidewalk.

Anybody have any recommendations? Looking for a 2 stage true self propelled unit 26-30” wide. Want to stay at or about $1000-$1200 bucks. Any brands to stay away from?

Runner up to 2015 SHC build. One of a kind.

Tiger Mertyl and ARC. Tough combo to beat. (Buttplate assy and rings are still in the oven)

Enjoy.

9mm powder for defensive rounds

Looking to whittle up a defensive 9mm load, home protection for a handgun. I'll be using Hornady XTP 124 grain bullets, mixed brass, CCI small pistol primers. The handgun in question is a Beretta LTT Elite, 5.2 something inch threaded barrel that'll eventually have a silencer hanging on the end. So nothing compact.

I'd like to create a defensive round but would prefer a "normal" load, not +P or ++P. I'd be willing to stray a bit into the +P range although admittedly, I don't know what pressure +P starts at these days. I've looked at all the offerings on Hodgdon's sight and I'm just not sure where to begin. Looking at the numbers, Winchester 572 seems to be great but doing a bit of reading, they seem to tighten up on the hot end which may be in the +P or greater range and put more wear/tear on the gun and have more recoil.

Criteria
-Ball/Spherical, aka meters well
-Relatively clean burning
-Relatively quiet without a huge fireball
-Smoother recoil for faster follow-up shots.
-Not temp sensitive. We have a pretty wide swing in temps although anything below freezing is rare/short lived. Very hot summers.
-Somewhat forgiving since this'll be the first time loading pistol cartridges. I currently load .223, .308 and 300 blackout supers/subs in a number of bullet weights for each.

I'll develop a plinking load and subsonic load after I have this one nailed down although I do intend to practice with my defensive load from time to time. Thoughts? Anything I'm no considering? I have pretty good access to powder locally so I'd likely have my choice of more than a few different powders.
