New Lot CCI 450 issues

Anyone had ignition issues with this lot of CCI 450’s? I had 3 rounds not go off during a match a few weeks back. Two of the three rounds went off on the second attempt. They are seated .005” deep in Alpha Brass. Never had an issue with this rifle until this new lot of primers. I’m going to try my spare bolt next time I go out to the range.

This bitch is an embarrassment to the State of Texas. She keeps railing against Trump and Musk yet doesn't she realize all the investment and jobs Musk has created in our state? I'm no fan of EV's but if you're ever in Austin, drive down the 130 toll road and you'll pass the Tesla factory it's like 4,000,000 sq. ft.
Then there's Space X just up the road from me in McGregor where they develop the propulsion systems. Then the Space X port in Brownsville. I recently heard a rumor that he is also supposed to move X's HQ to Bastrop from Commiefornia.
Isn't this bitch supposed to be representing the people of Texas?
And don't even get me started on that waste of oxygen Al Green. I loved when he got kicked out of Trump's joint address to Congress!

Art?

Just thought I'd ask about what folks have hanging in their house. I'd be the first to admit that I don't know much about it other than the mandatory classes in HS & College I had to take.

We're now at the point where we're starting to hang things on our walls that aren't pictures of ourselves and thus far have settled on two pieces from the same artist which are below:


Red Art Visual arts Paint Love




Hat Fedora Graphic design Graphics Fictional character



I can't intellectually say why I liked these particular pieces but I did/do and that's where I'm at.

Anyone here know a thing or two about art and/or want to share some pieces that they enjoy/may have hanging in their home?

Night Vision IR Tools - Easy Way to Heat Up Steel Targets Electrically

I've been playing around with these recently and they've turned out to work pretty well if you want to shoot steel at night and don't want to use a propane torch.

I spent a couple years struggling with shooting steel at night with various LWIR thermal scopes and clip-ons. The main issue that the spot where I often shoot longer range is out in the high desert with lots of rocks and sage brush, and unheated IPSC steel just tends to blend into the background or totally get lost unless I'm right up on it.

For a while I was using propane torches to heat up the steel so they would be easier to pick up with thermal, but it was a bit time consuming, I went through a lot of propane, and it often resulted in uneven temperatures across the target and wouldn't last very long on cold nights. Then I randomly stumbled on these electric heaters that you install onto the steel from IR Tools. It's not something you just put on/take off - you've got to install it with a thermal paste, so the heating element is permanently on there with a wired connection to the power source. They've got a few 12v/24v options to power them, including BA5590 bricks though I think that's too expensive and overkill unless you need them going for a very long time. Instead I got the cable with alligator clips and velcro'd some fairly inexpensive 12v 10Ah lithium batteries to the rear of the plates.

I did some initial testing in the garage and used a Skeet IRL to see how the plate heat up over time.

After just a few minutes the center of the front face of the target was glowing

Unheated steel to the left for comparison. By 10 minutes the entire heated plate was a uniform white.


Last night I did some tests with a Voodoo-S and detection was very easy, even out to 800 yards. For shits and giggles I did a comparison through MWIR so you can see unheated vs heated...

The heating is very minimal - they aren't even warm to the touch, but it's plenty for LWIR to get a solid color that stands out from the background. Those 12v batteries kept the targets heated for at least 3 hours in 50F weather.

Anyone Shooting a 40x?

I picked up this old 40x 22lr at a show last weekend. Been keeping my eyes peeled for one for a while. Definitely did not get a 'deal' but I never see these for sale and wanted it.

It came with the redfield Olympics which worked great at 25 yards, 1 hole basically.

I put my NXS on it for 50 and 100yds and it didn't disappoint. Shot a whole box of tac22 into a 1.5 inch group at 100 with most rounds into an inch.

Who else is shooting one still? Yes I refinished the stock, the original varnish was very ugly.

This fucking guy - what a guy !

Login to view embedded media
Broke into multiple homes with out a warrant, assaulted a few ladies , AND worked as a private debt collector while on duty . The worst part is he always had at least his partner with him , in at least one case several pigs and social workers.

He beat and arrested people doing his private debt collection while on duty - including beating and tazing two ladies whose home he entered without a warrant.

This is a flagrant phycological ticking time bomb . We will read soon about several women he’s killed .

Hold left edge and re-send it…oh wait!

another fantasy abomination


wonder where all the enviro whackos are where this is going on. will wreck a big part of the Bamahas. i still fail to understand why people pay big bucks to go on a fantasy trip to a pretend resort like Disney land in the middle of what was a great area of the world. ie if you dive or fish. take a trip on a floating cesspool with thousands of other fools? i just don't get it. i guess its the same with Vegas.
