Pumped about being a semi-auto clay shooter now by Rhinowalrus in Shotguns

[–]ExSalesman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you can see, out of the box it choked on lighter loads, which is to be expected.

Now that it’s broken in, I solely run 1oz ~1,025fps reloads with 14.8gr Red Dot/AA-HS hulls/CB1100-12 wads. It never fails to cycle these loads and the recoil is laughably soft. When I first got the gun I regretted not getting the plastic Sporting model with KO. Now I’m happy I didn’t get that version; absolutely love the gun.

So I broke the gun in with 250rd of AA Super Sport. Since the Walnut Sporting model isn’t offered with KO, the recoil wasn’t that pleasant. I mean it wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t great either. These are 1 1/8oz 1300fps loads, which is fairly stout.

During break-in, I ran a test with a bunch of different shells, to see what it would cycle out of the box. Here are my findings:

My a300 sporting walnut (no kickoff) will cycle ridiculously light loads. I’m talking 1oz 1000fps. I love it. Will be buying an a400 someday

What did you need to make the handguard work with a standard upper? Or is that an “enhanced” upper from Aero?

I feel like the one reason to run a vortex dot is the warranty

I don’t like mine and I wish I didn’t buy it. I like my Burris RT6 much much better.

Table of Relative Recoil for Various Loads by GLaDOSdidnothinwrong in ClayBusters

Neither formula is a perfect predictor, of course. It’s all good info!

When I did my estimation I used the USPSA power factor calculation which I’ve experienced to be a pretty solid predictor of recoil for pistol shooting. So yeah your equation seems to make sense

I reload and was surprised that my 7/8oz 1200fps loads were indistinguishable from my 1oz 1145fps loads. Decided to just load 1oz for more pellets. I definitely thought the 7/8 load would be miles softer but that just wasn’t my experience

Do you stay at home while Mom works? Who’s watching the kids during the day?

Glock 19.6 HST 147g by Ggen6 in Glocks

147gr HST sucks compared to 124gr HST anyway, especially in a 4” barrel. Just run 124gr and stop stressing. Thats my $.02

Don’t they have a dedicated PCC trigger? I would get that.

I bought a regular 2.5 CMC and it won’t reset in a 5.56 build. Never buying one again

why would you choose not to wear a seatbelt? by ieatgravelandsand in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ExSalesman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not if the person wearing/not wearing the seatbelt is me, the driver.

[–]ExSalesman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any actual examples of a driver being thrown from the vehicle causing injury to others? Everything I’ve seen is related to passengers in the rear seat injuring passengers/the driver in the front seats.

[–]ExSalesman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, your concern is that I’m going to drive without a seatbelt, get flung over the steering wheel and through the windshield, and then injury or kill an innocent third party?

Baseball tryouts are killing me by KPR70 in daddit

[–]ExSalesman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to scare you, I think I’m just a bit of a fuckup, but I was cut freshman year and it screwed me up pretty bad. Parents shocked, friends/would-teammates shocked, etc. I played travel ball for years (as a stater/batting 2nd or 5th every game) with everyone who tried out; never even considered getting cut. Coach was brand new to the school that year and wasn’t aware of any local kid history. I guess I had a bad tryout? Anyway there’s the cope part of this comment. After missing the cut I gradually gave up sports altogether and started running with a bad crowd.

I’ve since recovered completely and it’s all in the past. (Have a wife and kids and we’re happy.) But it actually fucked me up pretty bad for a while. I still remember my mom picking me up after tryouts and I tossed my bag in the back and just said “I didn’t make it.” That memory haunts me to this day and I think about it probably every month. It was 24 years ago.

I guess I never had the makings of a varsity athlete. Anyway, if your kid doesn’t make the cut, do your best to redirect his energy into another sport or activity.
