Misc Firearms Crew LXXXII: Stamp Collecting Brandon Style...Bracing for Ultra Amnesty

[LinuxJon]

So apparently I'm going to learn reloading.
Bought some primers and powder from Brownells. No hazmat fees right now.
Gonna start with 300 blk

IMO, pistol rounds are easier to start with. What press do you have?

I used to have this awesome sporting clay course in the foothills I loved in CA. Totally isolated and quiet. Bought a Browning Citori 525 to get serious about it. Then we moved to Austin and the only clay range is run by liberals who are way too uptight.

Honestly clays are like the perfect combo of shooting and golf. Nice walk in the woods to clear your head.

Just get your own clay thrower and a battery. The clays are dirt cheap

Das it mane. Just picked it up.

Absolutely poverty compared to an actual sporting clays range.

id like to get into that, i hadnt shot clay in decades, but my friend wanted to go so i did. i fukn embarrassed myself with my lack of shotgun skills.

Range day tomorrow boyos. Fridays are for no work and poppin glocks. Gotta get my laser sighted in

Need some more time with the HST’s too bc they shot like garbage (for my standards) last weekend. Lots of blazer fmj to shoot too.

All my ammo came in. Over 7 50cal cans filled to the brim.

[LinuxJon]

Thinking about putting a new trigger on my glock

love the thing but the trigger gets a lot of hate.

Any brahs into smithing want to steer me in the right direction? Interested in a lighter pull/faster reset. I don't have an issue. Just want to mod the fuker out for future comps.

Very good trigger for the cost. I prefer it to some of the much more expensive ones I've tried.

The Tango Down trigger is very nice too. But having to use the oem trigger bar is an extra step that was annoying.

Can someone explain to me why people run subsonic .308 blk setups when PCC's exist?

If you're only getting 1000fps out of your rifle, why not just use 147g 9mm in a PCC? Ammo is way cheaper and more available, and there's way more premium defensive ammo to pick from.

only reason I can think is the option to send 147 gr at 2000+ fps out of 8" barrel. idk why you'd do that over 300blk though. Saw a vid on it and there was some reasoning behind it but I don't remember. Sounds dumb to me. Heavier, blastier, etc.

Yeah, I sort of grasp the full power .300 blk concept as logical. But most the guys I see want to run subsonic with a can. Just seems inefficient in that config compared to basically a million other options.

I think like you. That's why I scooped up a few ARs in 9mm

If I knew of an AR-9 that I thought would run flawlessly, I'd consider it. A few years ago when I looked, everyone still said they had reliability issues.

Because 300 blackout sounds cooler when u say it.

Got a case of blazer aluminum for $200 shipped.

I love the stuff for IDPA. I can't sweep brass there anyway, and the stuff is probably barely the minimum PF

I've been happy with my Hyve trigger

How many cases of defensive 9mm should you keep on hand?

Up to like 5k rounds of HST/Ranger but feel like I should probably get more.

Jesus, how many intruders you expecting minus the government? I have like 750 SD 9mm and felt good about it as it’s over $1/rnd.

I have 2k HST. Have been getting it for .56 rd all day.

[OfficerJimLahey]

hi, hons.

[Brozef]

Now that steel 7.62x39 is the same price as brass 5.56 the AK platform has become completely inferior to the AR.

[Horse86]

Put in some more G19 work last weekend and have gotten very accurate out to 25 yrds with the Blazer 124g FMJ

Have found HST to be less accurate.


General question to this instance.....but really all guns/calibers you own:

Do you guys usually just sight in your pistols with the FMJ/range ammo.....figuring if you need to use HST it will be close enough anyway to get the job done (you figure 25yrs and closer here)....or are you sighting in with you defense ammo?


What I've been doing:

9mm sighted in with FMJ
300 blk sighted in with defense/hunting ammo
556 will be sighted in with defense ammo

[higginsworks4me]

I got to 669yd with my 14.5" and 77s ayyy

They were Norma somethings. I've decided to make that gun lighter with a different scope mount and directly threading the can.

How far does your point of impact move with HST vs FMJ at defensive range? You're not likely to be taking 25 yard head shots with your Glock.

As long as it's 124gr, I've never seen an ammo far enough at 10 yards for me to worry.
