Also did some cool ballistics testing a few weeks ago
1911 nice
WOW loads are that far off. Thats different quality control.
Love the 1911!
Which did you get?
Were you trying out different defensive loads? I recognize what looks like a Federal HST (my carry ammo on my 1911)
I think it’s more of what the rifle likes vs what it doesn’t like as much (given the barrel length and rifling). Which is why I bought 2 boxes of each ammo type - to see which it likes and also be able to practice with it ahead of the season.
When I’m set on which I want to use, I’ll pick up a few more boxes of them and call it good for a few seasons.
My scope is zeroed in for PPU .308 145gr ammo (in bulk packs) - it seems to REALLY like PPU ball ammo (but less so the hunting rounds - as we can see above). More so than the Federal American Eagle (not as tight when I was shooting using the iron sights). Shoots real tight for a 16 inch barrel carbine - that isn’t really meant to be MOA/sub-MOA since it’s a ‘battle rifle’ (though I’m sure I can make it even tighter with practice - maybe a trigger upgrade too).
So as long as I’m confident in where the Point of Impact is in relation to that zero (for example, it looks like the Hornady American Whitetail hits low (1cm)and to the right (1.5-2cm)) - I can set my scope accordingly before I head out.
My buddy (who I’ll be hunting with) put 3 shots in two holes at 100 yards through his Tikka T3 hunting rifle.
There are more quirks that I want to make sure I get a grasp on. Last time I hit the range, I thought I was zeroing into the target when suddenly the rifle started hitting high and to the right. I thought it was heat, but when I shot again on Sunday, it again hit high and right.
It could be fouling in the barrel. I resisted the urge to clean the rifle when I got home from last last weekend (I always clean my firearms after use). I cleaned the rifle when I got home on Sunday so I’ll see how it shoots next time I hit the range. I also want to see if I unmount the optic and re-mount it if there’s a change in zero (I’m expecting there not to be since it’s a quality quick detach mount).

Thanks! Just added some new grips. This one is a rock island.
Yup HST and a few different ones. Mostly 9mm testing that day. Also did some chronograph testing of 9mm out of my shield vs my 9mm AR
Dude! That’s awesome!
I rock the same grip on my 1911!
Thanks!
Haha that is awesome! They feel really great in the hand so I am happy with them.
The 9mm AR shot right through the 20" of ballistics gel and kept going lol. Was a fun day.
Shot my first MOA group today!
Very impressive for a 16 inch barrel carbine!

Ammo used was the 150gr Hornady American Whitetail in .308
Took three shots at 100 yards with two shots connecting.
Dafuq.
This many people carry in their cars? I spend enough time in the US, probably over a month a year, but seriously I had no idea. Seriously!
Tell me this is just a minority.
haha you joking? Of course they do.
It’s often a topic of discussion when I meet up with american forum folk. A couple had small guns for the underseat flip out storage spot on the B6 and B7 cars. Not a derringer or anything gay, but a compact gun. Modern. Looked about 80% of the size of a Glock.
Wish I could remember what it was. I thought it was funny. And typically american.
LOL! What happens at the dragstrip? Claim the extra weight in the stats? give it to their friend?
What happens when tech finds a gun in your car at your lapping day? is it even in the tech rules in the states?
Frick - how do they go to work? leave it in the car? carry at their desk?
Are there certain scenarios where you might or might not carry in the car - it becomes part of your decision tree when you leave the house? First date - no carry. Audi meet - Carry!
I’m still amazed. And i feel vulnerable when I leave my phone at home (although mostly because my wife may read the texts lol)
excuse my Canadian ignorance
You Canadians . . .
It would rattle around way too much while driving.
Just put it on the front passenger seat and cover it with a ball cap…
Sounds like that would be asking to win a Darwin award 
wasn’t that Canseco?
Nah the B7 storage spot was rubber lined and snug. It’s not moving in there. You’ll have to trust me having seen this in two B67 S4 owners cars.
I’ve stored a baby glock there on a few occasions when I had one. It’s funny how you guys worry about what people do with their guns throughout their day. Here in the south it’s as common as people wearing their cell phones on their hip.
Concealed and especially open carry seemed to go up significantly after Obama was elected (that’s how bad ignorance is here in the south). I see plenty of folks come into my work carrying. I have a friend who owns a garbage company and he now wears one when he’s out on the truck, however that part makes sense for him in his business What I don’t understand is when I come over to his house at 8:30 he is STILL wearing it on his hip.
So to answer your questions (at least for the south)
At the track: Carrying
Car meet: Carrying
Trip to walmart/McDonald’s: Carrying
See your granny in a nursing home: Carrying
Sunday morning church: Carrying
Sitting on your couch at home: Carrying or at least have gun within reach
'Merica
wonder why so many disagreements escalate into murders within families in 'merica?
