    Good point. :cool: Sadly this is how the majority think w/o actually getting to know what the man believes and supports in. Amazing how many people when answering tests about what they felt was important and how they stood on the issues ended up being a Ron Paul supporter. But I guess he's just a crazy loon if you get your 'info' from the MSM. :D

    I liked Paul up until he made that comment about Chris Kyle.

    No prob. How are you guys storing fuel cans? I like the rotopax, but I don't like the price.

    This was the clear winner in group size during my test through a Mossberg 18" cylinder choke barrel. I've posted links to my blog post about it before. If I wasn't stocked up already with this stuff, I'd pick up another 100 rounds.

    i dont have any fuel stored..but i see you are in SE GA like myself so you have access to real gas probably(we do here in brunswick) its ethanol free and keeps way longer. id like to have a rotopax or a pony keg for my bike so i could do long distance trips longer between fuel stops.. if you search you can find surplus fuel cans and even brand new repop nato cans(but you gotta read the reviews some arent worth buying)

    Great info! Sorry if this is repetitive, but what other shells did you test it against?

    I've got a huge stock of Hornady Critical Defense w/VersaTite (told it's the same as FliteControl). Also have some of the cheap, junky Winchester "Military" buckshot for SHTF/fun.

    I hated that stock for my 10/22. Cheaply made and hade to be modified multiple times with a Drexel to even work correctly. Plus, using a banana clip was a b*tch. But....It looked cool as hell. I eventually changed over to a hogue rubberized full stock, with a bipod, fluted heavy barrel with threaded end for suppressor and a red dot 4x scope.

    Went from looking like this

    I had Wolf, Fiocchi Reduced Recoil and Hornady TAP along with this load. All 00 buck. The patterns for the Federal we're as tight or tighter at 20 yds than the others at 10.

    Nice improvement! :)

    Yeah, it would need grinding with a Dremel for a heavy barrel. Mine fit right in because it was tapered. And the offset trigger was abysmal. But once I worked it over it shoots just fine. I really like having the length of a rifle in such a short package. Knocked off quite a few squirrels and a couple of 'coons trying to get into the chicken coop. I shoot low velocity 22CB Longs so it's just a glorified pellet gun. :)

    I'm in the market for a new EDC that I can carry my 14" Ultrabook in for work as well as have plenty of room to store the essentials.

    I love Maxpedition's stuff and plan on getting another Universal CCW holster as well as their magazine holder for one of the interior pockets.

    I was looking at the Kodiak Gearslinger, but it's pretty expensive and may be too big for my needs.

    The only other work-related stuff I carry is a backup power supply for the laptop, an iPhone charger, my glasses case and a few USB thumb drives.

    Thanks!

    Fink
