Re: Keeping mags loaded or not?

My mags serve a dual purpose as handy little storage containers that keep the cartridges lined up straight.

I wish my range had music like that.
Those relaxing guitar notes would really improve my trigger control.

Re: Low-Grain Cantaloupe Pain

I'd love to see a Cantaloupe Comparison between the keltec PMR-30 and Fiveseven.
I think the visual would put the 5.7 vs. 22mag thing to rest for good.

Re: Epic primer fail

Was the length of the cases between 1.130- 1.140? Are the primers seated a little below flush, .003-.006? when the finished round is dropped in the barrel does it sit in the chamber below the end the same amount as a factory round? (headspace). I gently use a depth gauge mic to check. when you tip t...

Re: FN 57 shooting low.

maby its the weak 197 ammo? if 5.2 gr. of true blue = 197 I just guessed that its piss poor ammo for the cartridge capability. I suggest getting some EA ammo w/ 40 grainers and compare zero's. might shoot a bit higher.

Re: FiveseveN Round Count

My reply had nothing to do with worrying. :) I don't worry about nothin . I'm all about science though. So throat erosion does not occur in the Fiveseven enough to effect accuracy or wear the barrel before the published 20,000 round count. Cool. Thanks.

Re: FiveseveN Round Count

I read somewhere that with rifle rounds anyway, throat erosion is what wears a barrel out. they had a spec about so many rounds= so many thousands of an inch erosion, with accuracy dropping faster the more the wear. the more the bullet jump to lands the less accuracy maybe? might also have to do wit...

Re: How many times can you reload a 5.7x28 case?

Has anyone tried completely stripping the coating using solvent and tumbling, or combination of thereof,and then loading a standard load for pistol/FiveseveN?
