I shoot 180g Swift Scirocco 2's (hand loaded) out of my .300WM. Very flat shooting, nearly copper-level weight retention (less lead sprinkling the meat/guts) and small enough for just about anything in terms of destruction, yet I've dropped a handful of elk with them like a light switch. They're expensive if you buy them at the store but well worth it, me thinks.

Fuck me why did I click here today?
That looks like top three funnest things you could do with you pants on, top ten with pants off.
But no money for the conversion, the 20k rounds me n my kid would burn through in a weekend, or the paperwork to make it legal.
The supply of 22 ammo in the west is safe.... for now.
Are you LEO mangle? US AG showing up to whack paper badguys at a public range where civilians are running full auto just seems outside what I think his security detail would be comfortable with. But what do I know....

Yeah mangle, questions abound...When Obama visited my little fishing village, you couldn't have a heckin' cell phone or camera anywhere near.
That is a fine fine bullet.^^^
The 300WM is a handloader's dream...Watch out for scope eye pushing these over 3000fps [don't ask how I know!]:

Probably. There aren't too many of us around here. I do frequent the spur. *edit* and if you are who I think you are, I'm upset I haven't heard the bear spray story in person.
Shocked the hell out of me. He had a sizeable security force with him. They put him on the other side of a concrete wall in the 22 bay, but no one bothered to say anything to me. If you ever wanted to rob a bank in Jackson, Friday would have been the day. The sheriffs were all at the range as well.
Definitely a ton of fun. Not LEO. I build stuff for fun people though.Last edited by mangle; 08-21-2020 at 06:04 PM.

It almost don't seem fair, using so much geotech...But to that I'd counter that you are talking about putting a living critter down as humanely as possible and anything that advances that goal within the context of fair chase [or prescribed culling] is legit.
Shooting is a small part of hunting [prob gonna be a larger part of culling]. Vital, but so is every other hunting skill. Sometimes it's the crux of a hunt, sometimes not so much.
After a nominal 70yd shot on a moose that falls at the edge of a fast creek, having a good knife and a bit of rope and knowing how to employ them are WAY more important than keen marksmanship or that 10lbs of expensive iron and glass that's still weighing you down. And none of it would have meant shit in its due time if you couldn't somehow get yourself "In the presence of game"... It's rich, and compelling, this hunting.
Blasting them off a cliff face with helmet-sight miniguns sounds like fun, but a very different, more immediate fun than "sport hunting" for them bastards, which, like climbing the Nordwand, is usually way more "fun" after the fact than during.Last edited by highangle; 08-21-2020 at 08:21 PM.

Big Sky Maggot ShootFest 3.0 was fun !
Djongo showed up with a massive arsenal plus tons of ammo. We had the place to ourselves, and we were there about 4 hours. Everyone had a 30-06 so that was the primary thing we all shot. But Djongo also had a bolt action.223 that was a tack driver. Plus handguns, everything from a cowboy style single action 45 Long Colt to a kitted out 45 auto, tons of fun.

Oaks - you have the Freedom Week where we had a couple of days for legal purchases. You should have popped the rivet then. It is up to CA to prove you did not buy or modify your "regular capacity" magazine. Rumor has it that there some kids in Montana that may have pickup some "regular capacity" magazines for me, um I mean a friend.

Is that the NRA range near Big Sky?

NRA Range ? Fuck the NRA. Wayne LaPiere and his designer suits can go fuck themselves. Fucking crooks, anyone who gives money to the NRA is an idiot after what has been revealed about their corruption.
This is a USFS Range managed by a local non-profit.
Come join us.

I own guns but this is ridiculous. This is happening in my home town. One of the brewery is a former snowbird local and really good guy. This is blatant intimidation and completely absurd. Hope the seaside city council stands up to these out of town gun dorks.Last edited by altacoup; 09-06-2020 at 06:26 PM.

@TNKen - you were right.
Bought another of the Brownells Retro series - 605 upper came in earlier this week. It's a replica of the Colt 605, their first attempt at a carbine, which consists of lopping off the 20" barrel at 15", just beyond the front sight post. The reproductions have a massive gas port and still run only on full-power 5.56. I was a little worried about running it on the 614, but it turned out not to be a problem. Cyclic is slow, probably in the 5xx RPM.
Coming this week is a CMMG RDB 9mm upper that I'll use for PCC class USPSA and Steel Challenge, as well as a subgun.
The 22 upper continues to run better than any other rimfire I've owned or shot.

Ruben might not turn his stuff that fast but he always has a pile of sick stuff. I'm always jealous of the pile of stuff has laying around.

Mmmmm... beltfeds. I'm still debating - I was *this* close to buying an M2HB a while back, and then I started calculating what it would cost to feed. I'm considering this one though - https://otbfirearms.com/dlo-m1919-a4...n-with-tripod/
I'm still a little squeamish about a straight blow-back 9mm in a RR. That'll probably fade with time.

How many LMG's do you think are in the armories of The Well Regulated Militia? 500, 5000 or 50,000

I have had 4 beltfeds. MG-42, 1919, Maxim 08-15 and the Shrike/Ares/flightlight upper. Never fired the Ares.
The 1919 was pretty cool, but I became bored with it pretty fast. Mine was converted to 8mm. At the time, you could still find large bulk quantities of surplus ammo.
The 08/15 was a pain in the ass. Water, oil, packing the glands, etc. Always leaked, but pretty fun to shoot. Also in 8mm.
The MG-42 is the only gun I wish I still had.
All beltfeds are a pain in the ass. Remember, they were all a crew served weapon. Lots of steel to lug around, set up, get ready to run, shoot from a stationary position at usually one or two targets (unless you are at a MG shoot). After a couple of belts, they kind of lose their fun. Don't forget hours of loading belts to go rip for a few seconds. The MG 42 and 1919 both ran around 800 rpm. At $.50/round, that's $400 a minute.
Kind of like a boat. Find a friend with one and bring ammo. If you are still in the mood, go to a MG shoot and spend a few hundred renting one and see it it kills the bug.In order to properly convert this thread to a polyasshat thread to more fully enrage the liberal left frequenting here......

No opinion on the G40...but I have found my G20 to be just as easy to shoot as any 45.
