Edge, I hope you can make it!

Hey Smurff, what software are you using to view & print the target?

Glad you got it figured out, maybe I should not have posted the target as a jpeg..... I need to be able to see the target's scoring rings to be accurate when I score them, so that would be a no on the shoot-n-c. Sorry!

The Colt has adjustments for standard and high velocity. If I remember correctly the manual specifies not to use hyper velocity ammo.

Faded is a-ok, good luck! What was the size issue caused by? TM

Just read that the M&P 15-22 comes in two flavors. Standard and Performance editions. The Performance rifle has a match chamber, and the owner's manual has specific recommendations and prohibitions for ammunition. There is a list of ammo not recommended for the standard version also. The 42 grain ammo is not mentioned, so I would suggest calling S&W. From the owner's manual: Please call Smith & Wesson Customer Service at 1-800-331- 0852 ext. 2905 if you have any questions regarding the recom- mended ammunition and maintenance of your M&P15-22 rifle.

Just got two boxes of Federal Auto Match 325 from Natchez for $56, that included $17 shipping. As Asmurff said, no hazmat charge.

I have not seen much in the stores here in Ohio, but mail order is coming alive. Don't know about Cali though.

Good shooting! :thumb:

107?? Hope your lead doesn't melt..... The OD of the 6-ring is 7.5"

Thanks Drew. Tal, the judges have already been warned about you......... C:-)

Heh. I heard that the Cowboy's new stadium in Arlington is a good tornado shelter. The chances of a touchdown there are very low......

Ok, thanks. just trying to get a new batch of spam.

FYI Today (Sunday) I sent an email to Federal, asking about the rumors of rim fire production shutdown due to raw materials being focused to the center fire production lines. I received a reply later the same day. Mike All three plants, rimfire, centerfire and shotshell are running 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. What you heard is a rumor. Have a great week!! Federal -----Original Message----- From: Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2013 5:42 PM To: Anoka P Subject: Federal Premium - Ask the Expert Form Mike W Hello, I just have a question: Quite a few rumors floating around due to the shortage, the new one I have heard is that rim fire production is shut down because the raw materials are being used in center fire ammunition production. I don't believe that, was wondering if you could comment on your .22lr production? Thanks, Mike W.

Boy howdy!

I realize this subject is redundant, males of the species are born with this knowledge and skill set. However, there are methods I was not aware of......... HERE

Thanks Smurf - gonna order one!

Ammo is Scarce; Last night a man in his 60's lucked out and was able to buy several boxes of ammo at Cabela's. On the way home he stopped at the 7-Eleven gas station where this drop-dead gorgeous younger blonde was filling up her car at the pump next to his. She glanced at the ammo boxes in the back of his Jeep and said in a very seductive voice, "I'm a big believer in barter, old timer. Would you be interested in trading sex for ammo?" The old guy thought a few seconds and asked, "What kinda ammo ya got?"

Sweet! Bet yours isn't coming by yak caravan...

The last few lines of the piece are kind of important: "Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large. And this fellow Americans, is how the American Revolution began, April 20, 1775. On July 4th, 1776 these same extremists signed the Declaration of Independence, pledging to each other and their countrymen their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. Many of them lost everything, including their families and their lives over the course of the next few years. Lest we forget…"
