probably not worth the carbon fiber re-enforced ones unless it's longer

First sign of ignorance? Ask them what AR stands for.

it's not assault rifle?

./s

yeah

but quizzing people is like a shit test

I think we just need more firearms education in public school

it's a fucking right ffs

I think knife and firearm training would be good

with current tech (Airsoft, air rifles) you could very easily train someone for short range stuff; make sure they don't negligent discharge

They tried to put fire arms education in schools. The Democrats were all for it until they found out that the NRA were the ones that usually did the training.

I think 20 years before I started HS they had a designated shooting range

My dad was from a small town in AL and he always said during hunting season kids would bring their guns to school so they could go hunting afterwards. They just left them in their lockers.

I don't even care; I honestly don't support everything the NRA stands for.

yeah

what was once commonplace

I'm thinking of getting on the 224 valkyrie train

maybe I'll wait another year or two to see if there are better bullet designs

have not head much about the 223 valkyrie

I usually just stay with the older calibers. Afraid of buying a gun in a new round and not being able to find ammo for it.

It's a chamber with higher pressure and I think a slightly longer neck

it's just 223 remington with a larger piece of brass

ok, thanks

I think federal's ammo uses 90gr SMK's

which do not fit into most mags when loaded correctly

Dies already exist which is good

my target 223 wylde loads are all 69 and 77gr's

I mass prep 62gr SS109 for trash, since it performs well enough

lots of folks bitch about it but I've had absolutely wonderful success with them, getting moa groups without much filtering

It cheap and works well enough for field work.

yes

24.3 gr of H335 does really fucking well with minimal crimping

Never loaded my own ammo.

it's slightly below M855 in velocity by like 30fps on average using a sample of 100 each

I live in CA so I pretty much exclusively do it in anticipation for the 2019 ammunition purchase permits

also I do ELR stuff

and you really want fire formed brass for such things

You, with no ammo limits in my area and the fact that I stick to common and popular rounds there is no real savings for me to reload ammo.

yeah

I shoot some weird/expensive shit too that costs shitloads to buy

458 socom and 338 lapua are really expensive things to feed
