That has the good shit

2018-03-14 02:42:45 UTC  

M2 ball is fucking weird

2018-03-14 02:43:11 UTC  

meh

2018-03-14 02:43:18 UTC  

a lot of rounds do weird stuff

2018-03-14 02:43:41 UTC  

Yeah, it's weird on the level that it was designed to be ballistically inefficient, to a degree.

2018-03-14 02:43:58 UTC  

not sure about .30-06 on that

2018-03-14 02:44:06 UTC  

but intermediate cartridges sure get funky

2018-03-14 02:44:20 UTC  

They mention it at 2:09 in the vid

2018-03-14 02:44:33 UTC  

Bureaucracy and all that

2018-03-14 02:44:33 UTC  

i'm going to pass on the cvid

2018-03-14 02:44:42 UTC  

i know more about modern rounds

2018-03-14 02:44:47 UTC  

No worries, just want you to have all the options

2018-03-14 02:44:49 UTC  

if i load old stuff it's just for fun

2018-03-14 02:44:59 UTC  

trying to find some m955a1 pulls though

2018-03-14 02:45:05 UTC  

m855a1*

2018-03-14 02:45:31 UTC  

things are stupid pricey though

2018-03-14 02:45:41 UTC  

Yeah, they're an odd round

2018-03-14 02:45:55 UTC  

also questionably legal

2018-03-14 02:45:59 UTC  

I'm not too sure how I feel about composite rounds like that

2018-03-14 02:46:01 UTC  

you can buy and own

2018-03-14 02:46:05 UTC  

You mean for civilain use?

2018-03-14 02:46:10 UTC  

for sellers

2018-03-14 02:46:15 UTC  

none will ever be surplused

2018-03-14 02:46:34 UTC  

so you don't know if a gi stole a clip from a can or a small manufacturer bought some and did a pull

2018-03-14 02:46:43 UTC  

plus if you load them you can't resell it

2018-03-14 02:46:54 UTC  

Well all that means is that it's a limited commodity

2018-03-14 02:47:07 UTC  

yea

2018-03-14 02:47:15 UTC  

after the florida thing i haven't seen any for sale

2018-03-14 02:47:36 UTC  

would be a sweet little bragging round though

2018-03-14 02:48:34 UTC  

I'm sure you could make your own if you could figure out the components

2018-03-14 02:48:45 UTC  

nah you can't make those

2018-03-14 02:48:46 UTC  

And had access to advanced metallurgical facilities

2018-03-14 02:49:13 UTC  

i'd pass on making hybrid tung rounds even if i could

2018-03-14 02:49:33 UTC  

Too expensive?

2018-03-14 02:49:41 UTC  

too complex

2018-03-14 02:49:52 UTC  

you'd have to center tungsten in a copper jacket

2018-03-14 02:49:58 UTC  

can't remember if there is also steel

2018-03-14 02:50:12 UTC  

and make it balanced enough to not keyhole or be innaccureate

2018-03-14 02:50:48 UTC  

when people cast as a hobby they just pour lead in a mold

2018-03-14 02:50:51 UTC  

Yeah, that's a lot of work for handloading

2018-03-14 02:50:53 UTC  

that stuff is too advanced
