    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

    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!

    Instead of buying just premium, try phase separating too. It removes teh ethanol content and requires marginal effort. Ethanol free gas, lasts way longer.

    Or be lazy and buy race gas/aviation gas. If you feel like spending an extra 20 bucks on a fill up

    You're too nice. Internet tough guy is obviously brain damaged and demonstrates a shameful disservice to those that have served and suffered.

    I have the usual mess of knives, flashlights, and multitool scattered throughout the truck, but I also have a small day pack I keep in my backseat (toolbox when I get it). It has:

    Water Filter (UV and filtration packets)
    Flashlight and headlamp
    Chem Lights (UV and Reg)
    Emergency Blanket and Emergency Bivvy sack
    Emergency Poncho
    550 Cord
    GPS
    Batteries
    Short K-Bar
    3 field stripped MREs
    2 Water Bottles (60 oz) Capacity
    Weatherproof Matches
    Dry sealed kindling stick
    Magnesium fire starter
    Emergency medical kit (Built with a Corpsman I work with, not storebought)
    Compass

    It's one of those things I am constantly adding to, but the bag is a small Mountain Hardware day pack that only weighs about 15 pounds (This one). Perfect emergency bag, or I can take it hiking, hunting, etc. and keep myself out of most trouble for a few days if I get stuck, hurt, etc. It has straps that would fit an AR-7 or small takedown bow perfectly, so I think that is my next step.
