AZ PewPewPew Meet aka @Mike330R shooting diary

@Mike330R would you happen to know of is this a stepped case? Haven't seen a case w/ a line around it like this

 

I know the feeling. I almost bought an optic. But I really REALLY need to keep my spending in check. I wanna buy ADS shocks.

Why are all the cool hobbies so damn expensive???

 

Not sure but it looks funny.
That type of case with that crimp ring is what came apart in my M&P. Although it was a reload.

 

Not necessarily stepped. But might be.
The dotted ring is a case cannelure, and can be used with or without a step to reduce bullet setback/eliminate seating processes.

Either way, it is a stress riser and is usually where you'll see casehead separation when it occurs.

 

Well these are new, not reloads so I'll shoot them. I dont reload yet and i probably wont reload 9mm when i start so I'll sell them. Hopefully they get melted down.

 

Had a productive evening. Loaded up some AR mags for plinking. 9 steel case then 1 brass for the full 30 rounds. Then pulled the rest of my steel case out of the white plastic holders. Id rather it be loose in a box than in those when I'm reloading mags at the range/desert. Also loaded my scorpion and glock mags. Ready to go shoot more!

 

Who has the cheapest transfer fees in north Phoenix?

 

Tried a few different loads and H130 ELDM's today at 100 and 500.
Was expecting better results at 500. Had a fair amount of misses on paper but 99% hits on a 6" steel swinger.

 

Dislike, the withdrawls after 6 weeks would be rough

 

Woo-hoo. Finally got to go out with my 6.5grendel. I didn't realize I never put a bipod on it and it is the only non Aero Precision handgaurd I have so I couldn't use my bipoded handgaurd. It was hard as hell using the grip as a monopod but was able to ring steel at 780 yards. Not very many but I heard it ring!

Also, it's the first time in probably a year I shot something without a suppressor. Didn't think of putting hearing protection on. That's a mistake you make once.

 

I'll pick one up from you. I was just about to order a new bipod and mlok adapter. I'm still on cheap Caldwell but they seem to work. I just have to remember never to use an Atlas so I don't know better.

 

So should I get one? Mlok direct is appealing.

 

I've been trying to change all of my handgaurds to aero precision mlok but I forgot I had one Samson on this upper. I think it's time for me to put on my big boy pants and try an atlas but my bank account keeps saying don't do it.

 

I have 4 I have gathered over time, 3 are QD.
I like that they lock into position, can be used at different angles, and think they look nice.
I often use it in the forward 45 degree position from a bench.
Downside is weight (still not very heavy) and slower deployment.

 

I have 2 Atlas PSR QD bipods, about to buy an Atlas CAL.I use them for hunting, and long range steel. I like the ability to change the feet between rubber, and spikes. Yeah there a lil slower to deploy than a Harris. In a hunting situation that won’t be a problem. Far more time will be wasted getting into a comfortable shooting position, and acquiring your target.

 

I host shooting/wheeling TW meets at my cabin in the mountains of WV. Always a great time!

 

201 rounds of 260 loaded. Working on other calibers now.

 

I still use Hornady 130 factory ammo since it shoots so good. Also use these reloads, same bullet.

 

Prime is a tad to hot for a semi auto. Similiar results as shown in my pic's below from others.
Although a fair amount of people use it in these Larue's.

My last outing with my reloads speeds were 2800'ish.

 

Anyone up for some morning pew pew tomorrow?
