Hornady 168gr BTHP under 40.5gr of IMR 4895. Maybe I'm just a puss.

That's one interesting swap, Marvin.

Nah. Fifty rounds of that load off the bench would set anybody's brain to sloshing. Most of my .308Win bolt guns have Vais comps. Really like the little suckers.

Yep, I really should have had the barrel threaded when I had the bolt handle threaded. The machinist I sent it to could have done both and actually sells his own in-house compensator. That was a mistake.

Still, it's grouping far beyond my expectations. Bellow is the first time it took it to the range for sight-in. I've got a few groups like that since, but either I am not that consistent or the gun/load/bullet/bras isn't. I'd bet it's me. I just don't have the experience yet to tell which. That's a four shot group @ 100yds in the center. I was also surprised by the cheap Burris Fullfield II scope. I was able to very precisely walk the rounds to the center with it. It's held zero ever since.

I thought it was a Savage pump, should have kept mine. Cheap but super reliable.

We won't let that happen.

Spent yesterday at the range sighting in my new Remington 7MM Mag and checking to make sure the 270 WSM had not been bumped out of true during last year's hunting. All was done using my own hand loads. I am always a bit amazed at the consistency of hand loaded ammunition. The 270 tests were all in a group that you could draw a 1.5 inch Dia. circle around. I was very pleased with this as the wind was a real factor yesterday. In those rare moments of now wind the groups tightened up considerably.

One nice thing about a windy day is that the haze from shooting dissipates quickly. Last time I went it was dead calm and it was like a foggy London day as there was no wind to clear things away.

Well deer season starts at dawn next Saturday and I will be off to Northern Wisconsin for 10 days, 9 hunting. The season is just in time as we are just about out of meat and the sausage is long gone. The last jalapeño sticks were consumed last week. I try and ration them or they wold be gone in a couple of weeks. They are so good even those that cringe at eating venison like them.

You might also want to check out the Glock 17/19/26 or Springfield XD-9 models.

Also, the Ruger SP-101 3" is also very versatile and reliable for both 38 spec. or magnum. If you like magnum, you can also look at Ruger GP-100.

The above pieces are good for self-defense at affordable prices.

Be safe !!

Sorry but I do not understand why you say I tried to get the thread closed.

I was not referring to your post. archosman posted some "gun rights" material that has been deleted and that I was pointing to. I was the post immediately after it, but I should have quoted it to preserve things and be clear.

Ok, I thought I had messed up. Thanks.

Not at all; whoever pulled archosman's post should have pulled mine, too. Otherwise it's pure confusion.

I came to Head-Fi looking for some help on Denon ah-d950s and found too much information.
I'm taking them apart & would like to talk to someone who's been there.
Tech help here is too extreme! Their into hardware, I'n into software.

I do have one.

Is a Kimber Pro Carry II HD a good choice for a concealed carry weapon?
