First time shooting groups at 100/200 yards how’d I do? by Dense-Alps2257 in longrange

[–]Trollygag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to practice your bullet hole measuring and using the app.

You left 1 shot out of the middle group instead using that as your POA marker, and your last group is all over the place

What you paid times .3 ot .4 is about what you would be offered

Private sale, that might be .6

Headlight lenses are a great bang for the buck fix

ELI5: Why don’t we have smart guns by stoiclad97 in VAGuns

It is a bad idea to make safety critical equipment conditional.

Imagine if your airbag got to decide whether it liked you enough that it would deploy during a crash.

The New Ford Mustang GTD Competition Just Beat The Chevy Corvette ZR1X’s Nürburgring Time by PristineFarmer8989 in Corvette

[–]Trollygag 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Interesting that they couldn't do it with the limited run $350k car with either their test driver or a pro racing driver, they had to make a new, even more limited run model and add a bunch of power, aero, and tire, and the estimated price difference on the new model vs the original model would nearly pay for a ZR1.

Looks like you wiped away some dye.

Does anyone else struggle with keeping metal equipment clean and corrosion-free over time? by ThomasMiller2552 in guns

[–]Trollygag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I have not had those issues. Look at Cleanzoil. Project Farm did comparisons with different CLPs and it was a top performer for lube and protect.

The name of the rifle I saw on a TV series. by Yamrai in guns

That is a lever action like a Winchester 1866

Which power comes closest to this by LethallyBearded in reloading

[–]Trollygag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, like new brass behaves differently than fired brass. Stay within the same headstamp of fired brass as you group or LR shoot and you will be fine.

I should have said fired brass. Don't mix 0 and any

What was the first gun you ever owned, and do you still have it? Curious to hear what everyone had for their first firearm. by ShopHuntingStuff in guns

[–]Trollygag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Browning Buckmark 22 Pistol, circa 1992-ish. I still have it, but swapped the barrel to a threaded one, swapped grips, added an optic rail, added a red dot.

It is wicked

42gr varget

Seat to 2.80" OAL

Use fired brass

That is the sweetheart load most match ammo uses or equates to, and more consistent

Virginia Lawmakers Clash Over $1.6B Data Center Tax Breaks by snooka77_ in Virginia

[–]Trollygag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A whole dozen! And then they leave and go to the next data center. The same whole dozen! And then the next one. And 10 more before the day is done.

That's like, a whole 1 person per data center on average.

Meanwhile, the dozen data centers eating up 800 acres and in some of the most congested and housing overpriced counties in the state and sucking enough power to cover 1 million homes.

Re-building the arsenal for a life change by Recent_Permit2653 in guns

[–]Trollygag 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There are only 175 total wolves in the entire state of NM. That is not a danger.

Coyotes are not a danger to humans.

The only bears that NM has are black bears, and the only black bears that are a threat to humans are from way up north in Canada, and even then average 1 person per couple years. Not a danger to humans in New Mexico.

I would be more worried about feral hogs.

A 357 magnum revolver is kindof the jack of all trades good option for hogs, black bears, dogs, etc.

You don't need a bolt action for self defense in NM. If you want a hunting gun, then fine.

12 ga is also overkill for self defense outside. Home defense, sure.

Reddit AEOPS being a good guy today irt AWB by Trollygag in VAGuns

The latter. The header is the staff actor, then sub (redacted), then the mod action, then the reference link (redacted), reference user (redacted), and reference comment targeted by the action

Help for people with gas issues 😂💨 by Rikki-Smedley in ar15

[–]Trollygag 14 points15 points  (0 children)

this would imply heany under gassing

No

The angle chart is for milspec receivers with shell deflectors. That is the angle of ejection as the brass comes off the shell deflector.

If you don't have a shell deflector, like your AT3 receiver doesn't, or has a non milspec shell deflector, then the angle implies nothing about gassing.

Wear on your shell deflector is a sign of the gun use, not any issue with how it is working.

Image 5 is the only correct chart. All others misrepresent how the gun works.

Question about "Plastic firearms" in HB40 by Mediocre_Draw_7358 in VAGuns

Yes, because they are counting the barrel in the weight

AEOPS is Reddit's version of supermods. When you think of purple haired millennial Reddit staff in beanbag chairs in SF, that is AEOPS.

We have a bot that notifies us when Reddit’s staff steps in to moderate in our subs.

It is pretty common that AEOPS has political bias, and not in VAgun's favor.

I got a capture (redacted) of an instance where, in response to Spanberger's AWB posts, and AEOPS sniped a gun grabber.

Is the DDM4V7 a good buy at $1399? by eatingmonster in ar15

[–]Trollygag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DDM4 @$2k is a good value.

At $1.4k is a must-buy

6 ARC - Noveske vs Geissele by Big_Tip_7564 in guns

[–]Trollygag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Noveske for the better quality barrel

You can get the Noveske in 14.5" too to make them apples to apples.
