303GuyHi there,
halo68. Good to have you aboard!

I used to load for shotgun and handgun but now only rifle. I am busy switching to paper patched bullets. Heaps of fun! Stunning performance too.

ted thornHello, here are some things that I have picked up here on AR from our fellow member...funny stuff
Mike_Dettorre
What I have learned on AR:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place to get a steak dinner? is…you really want pork chops.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 inches in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from
different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified so it can carry at least 4 down.
5. While a floor plate and a detachable box magazine both use mechanical latches, only the floor plate latch is reliable
regardless of the fact that almost every modern military rifle in the world uses a detachable box magazine including those
chambered in 50 BMG.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact that it is the choice of more military sniper units and law
enforcement agencies than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR, and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting game that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (despite the fact most safaris take place in the winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. It is not the size of the ding in the gun's finish that matters but whether or not the ding occurred in the safe or in the field because safe dings are okay but field dings are worse.
