CZickiness XXXVIII Reboot. To Honor a friend

[RustyHornet]

Honestly, if steel case ammo did cause problems with firearms, DOGG shouldn’t worry anyway. He won’t have anything long enough to see any of that...

The riddle of steel!

 

[MindfulMan]

I’m already trying to figure out what my next optic will be and I don’t even have the rifle it will go on yet

This is the way of us CZickos !

Morning all...



It's the only thing Star Wars that hasn't been absolute since the original IMO. They did a really good job on it.



Even though it's a haul to his place, I should probably bite the bullet and do this.

I'd say Rogue One was actually one of the best Star Wars movies of all time. That said, I definitely like the Mandalorian. Especially season 2.

This has made the rounds (get it..rounds..) a few times but if you haven't seen the steel case "answer":

Brass vs. Steel Cased Ammo - An Epic Torture Test

This comprehensive 40,000 round brass vs. steel cased ammo torture test examines at key indicators of ammo performance and cost in AR-15 rifles.

For those into the optic hole, check out these videos. SWFA is a lot of scope for the $ (admit: fanboy). I have a 10x mil/mil. Great stuff for guys like us who can't buy S&B or Steiner glass for every rifle.

I concur 100% ! .....I have one of their 10X fixed, and love it !

I know, my opinion of steel case ammo does not coincide with the majority in here. I could explain my logic, but it won't change anyone else's opinion. And that's okay. We can't all agree on everything, because if we did, it would pretty boring conversation in here.

SK Rifle Match 22LR. Even more pricey...

How do these stack up to Eley offerings out of curiosity? I picked up 250 rounds of TenX for $92.50 before shipping and 500 rounds of Eley Club for $83. I wonder if the Club and Standard Plus are comparable? I know that each rifle is different, so I guess the question doesn't really make sense. I don't know but I'm interested to test differences when I get back out to the range.

My mistake for forgetting RO. That was a great movie and not filled with Progressive fantasies like everything else Star Wars since the originals.

My goals are pretty straightforward right now. I want the skills and tools needed to be confident out to 500 yards. Once I get there, I'll work on going longer maybe. I can practice regularly up to 200 yards but will only travel to ranges that go out longer maybe 3 times a year potentially

We need to head to the Deacon's range when it warms up. He has offered its use several times, and I'd like to make the trip !

and this is how being greeted with an hors d'oeuvre tray comes to an end...

Yes - I did have to google the spelling of hors d'oeuvre.

Dang, gonna have to check with Alan to see when he feels he'll be getting new stock. Everything I want is on backorder. I'd really prefer ordering from him instead of Amazon.

The 500 yard target will most likely sit back into a slightly wooded area and it really exposes the differences in light collection and transmission of the scopes. Again. my aging eyes....I never thought about any of this before age 45.

If its a windy day, the range set up has, umm, interesting winds.

Sweet.

Yep, looks like he's already got your gift! That's pretty special for you and mcapo too! Two stellar individuals!

Don’t tell him that I already got his gift too... it’s me!!! Shhhhhhh.

This isn't the worst deal I've seen on bulk 22 ammo lately. $500 for 5000 rounds.

They were gone before you got it posted...lol

Brownells has been releasing several types of Federal primers this morning but only one type at a time.

I missed SP and SR primers earlier. Had one of them in my cart but didn't make it through checkout.

I did just get 5K of Federal Large Rifle Match Primers if it doesn't get canceled. I now have more LR primers than I need. Might try to trade some for small or large pistol primers.

Edit: That dream is gone...order was canceled.
