The post whore thread.

[TheBelly]

So basically breathing, trigger control, sight alignment/picture on dry fires? (im quite noob)

There are ways to make sure that you practice these things correctly so that you don't develop bad habits.

it starts with building your position in the prone. EVERYTHING starts there.

[BuffCyclist]

He only loans it out to people who can make it look good.... Are you sure you're up for it?




Actually, that google search was pretty boring.

WRONG! He only loans it out when he knows he'll get pictures back...

And you are a braver man than I. Well done.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Belly, obviously your rifle stuff went well, how'd your pistol stuff go?

[TheBelly]

OBC, you loading 223 for accuracy or plinking? My plinkers, I load up 5-10 of each load, shoot them all, and pick the best load then churn them out.

Pistol, I could care less about the ammo because its so much cheaper! However, when I get my 308 rifle soon, I'll probably be doing just what Belly does, tons of dry fire, and not shooting that much.

i reload match grade .308 ammo for less than 30¢/round.

[TheBelly]

Belly, obviously your rifle stuff went well, how'd your pistol stuff go?

i can reliably hit half of a piece of paper from 15yds.

The hard part is doing it under constraints of time/adrenaline/ light/etc.

[BuffCyclist]

Well, yea, thats still cheap, but when you load pistol for 16cents per round, its more fun to pull the trigger there LOL.

[HoneyBadger]

Sorry dude, it's at the cleaners.

[mcjhr]

Belly, thanks for the gold coin! Much appreciated.

[OtterbatHellcat]

You guys are sick....but it's fun.

[TheBelly]

Sounds good Belly, good luck with the lighter bullets!

And way to reinforce that, my only plan when I go to the range is "pistol, rifle, shotgun, zero something, or a combination"...


No, that's not a plan.

my plan today (specifically) was:

reconfirm functioning of SHTF pistol ammo
reconfirm I can still hit a target (w/pistol)
run 1-5 drills with pistols

Zero BUIS on carbine
Confirm eye relief of precision AR
confirm proper functioning of new rifle length buffer system

[HoneyBadger]

Are you SURE that's vomit?
*gag*

[OtterbatHellcat]

BC...I don't know about plinking. I load different stuff, depending on what is available, and try and figure out how it's going to shoot. My max distance with any kind of reliablility is 100 yards, and I'm still trying to figure out the differences between projectiles, loads and all that, and how stuff behaves.

[TheBelly]

Belly, thanks for the gold coin! Much appreciated.

Dude, if there's something you want to know more about, I'll put together a quick little video and YouTube it up. I've already got one on how to build your position for the prone.

This is the sort of plan that I typically have when I go to the range, but then at the end, I usually put up some steel and burn through ~50 rounds.

Hmmmmm sounds like there's a video idea in there......

im itching to make a new video.

[BuffCyclist]

^ LOL

I was only slightly kidding. With pistol, my plan is usually working on smaller groups at 15, 25 and 50yds (they're huge by the way lol), counting rounds, working on trigger discipline (I always let the trigger go all the way and I'm trying to break that habit), malfunction drills, and draw from holster, shoot twice, reholster.

I honestly don't shoot that much rifle lately, out of match 22 ammo, but I have gotten the hang of shooting a gong at 200yds with it (learning holdovers). My AR has a reddot, so I usually shoot irons out at 100yds for groups while working on breathing.

But you're right, I should write down a plan before I go so I know what I'm doing.

[TheBelly]

This is the sort of plan that I typically have when I go to the range, but then at the end, I usually put up some steel and burn through ~50 rounds.

I normally go to a range that has quite a bit of steel. Today I needed to be more focused, so I went to one that has very segmented lanes.

[BuffCyclist]

OBC, by plinking I just meant shooting for fun. Not shooting for groups, just having a blasting good time. Although I guess plinking really refers to shooting at steel plates and whatnot, where it actually goes plink, plink, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, plink, miss, miss... LOL

[TheBelly]

and draw from holster, shoot twice, reholster..

This will be a training scar.

shooting only twice is saying that it will only take two shots from a handgun to get the job done. That might not be the case.

thats why I ALWAYS do the 1-5 drill.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hmmmmm sounds like there's a video idea in there......

im itching to make a new video.

I've been really surprised how much difference a few grains of projectile weight, and different powder, can really mess with a shooter new to reloading.

[BuffCyclist]

Its not necessarily for stopping a bad guy, it's for squeezing out two fast back to back shots to work on recoil mitigation, and sight alignment by feel so to speak.

[OtterbatHellcat]

OBC, by plinking I just meant shooting for fun.

Oh, I totally get that, brother. But we always seem to be trying something new. All of it is fun, but I always want to hit the target....I want to get better, always.

ETA quote highlight.

What have you noticed?

[OtterbatHellcat]

What have you noticed?

One example would be rounds hitting the paper 8 to 10 inches below the scope zero from previously loaded rounds, at 100 yds.

[mcjhr]

Thanks for the link. I'll take you up on that for sure!

So I was in the mood for some breakfast sandwiches the other week and was about to buy some at the store, then I saw they sell frozen egg patties, sausage patties and decided i'd make my own (probably healthier that way).

Then I found this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B2MRSE/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And holy crap!! Crack one egg in the egg cooker, add 1 tbsp milk, a little salt, scramble it, microwave for 1min and out comes a super fluffy egg patty! Toast an english muffin, toss a slice of cheese on it and assemble.

Delicious breakfast, no crap fillers like frozen or fast food joints, and honestly, it tastes better too!

Thanks for the squib load vid BC. I can't stress how big of a deal it is, I almost tried to fire a round after a squib. I don't really like to think about how close I was to doing so.

Oh wait, OBC, you had a squib? I didn't realize that, just passing along a video since I know you're new to reloading. I've heard of the serious dangers of squibs, but never really knew what to look for.

So you gonna splain catching photons in your 8 foot bucket?

[OtterbatHellcat]

You know, it's kinda weird to think about, but I don't think anyone is ever gonna make another 100 + post run here again.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I think myself, and you have the highest runs certainly in the last year.

[BuffCyclist]

Sure, why not.

My bucket isn't a bucket so much as it is a parabolic mirror. The photons travel at such high velocities, I have to slow them down by bouncing them off the 8ft parabolic mirror, getting the rebound off a 1ft mirror and slam dunking them into three near-infrared HgCdTe detectors... At which point my computer picks them up and converts them to pretty pretty spectra.

eta: And yes, that was a joke about having to slow them down by bouncing them off a mirror.

[BuffCyclist]

Haha, you're probably right about the runs.

Although, wax might GET the runs from the amount of santiago's he eats, but anyone making runs... probably not. Too many active hos.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey, I still think you and I hold the highest records for consecutive post runs.

On your work, I think it's pretty neato what you do, it's cool.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I could explain how to get a glow plug out of the number 4 cylinder of a 6.0 liter diesel in an econoline, but.....nobody would give a shit.

lol.

[OtterbatHellcat]

It's a real pain in the ass btw.

[BuffCyclist]

Well if I ever buy an econoline with a 6.0 liter diesel and need to change the glow plugs, I'll let you know ;)

Honestly, I don't even understand a fraction of the science that comes out of the data that I collect. I'm just a data monkey.

The Stones....yeah!!

[BuffCyclist]

Das youtubez is broken at work. Along with Facebook. Because the day staff was wasting too much time playing games on Facebook so they banished it. Somehow, Netflix hasn't been nuked. In fact, one of the IT guys even INSTALLED Silverlight on several peoples computers so they could access Netflix. [facepalm]

[OtterbatHellcat]

Dude, .........that sucks.

It was "I'm a Monkey" btw.

[OtterbatHellcat]

The first link was Joe Dirt in the fumigation tent....hilarious.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Joe Dirt...carnival scene.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny8VqcEe7dw

again...hilarious.

[BuffCyclist]

And wait, why're you up OBC? Can't sleep or did you just get home after a late night at the bars?

[OtterbatHellcat]

BC, when the hell do they let ya go home...soon?

[OtterbatHellcat]

And wait, why're you up OBC? Can't sleep or did you just get home after a late night at the bars?

Mostly cause I'm a dumb ass...should be in bed, but I'm up screwing around. Headed to bed pretty soon though.

[BuffCyclist]

I get to go to bed at 5:54am. So just another 1.5 hours.

[BuffCyclist]

We're transitioning between instruments due to the moon phase, so tomorrow I go to bed at 6:09am.

When it isn't winter, with that instrument, we go to almost 6:30am.

[OtterbatHellcat]

How often does the equipment need cleaned, and what's involved?

[BuffCyclist]

We clean our mirrors with a CO2 "snow" (liquid CO2 which is passed through a nozzle and expanded rapidly to sublimate into a snowlike form that evaporates after about 18" once it leaves the tube), which knocks a majority of the dust off. The drive surfaces are cleaned/lubricated usually the same time. During the dusty/pollen seasons, they clean those every other day if its bad. When its not the dusty season, they try to clean once every other week. We realuminize our mirror every other year, or strip it down to the glass, then re-apply a 40-60 micron thick layer of aluminum that is the mirror's reflective surface.

Because we are a survey telescope, we clean more regularly than most telescopes, because we want the data throughout the 4-6 year surveys to be taken with nearly identical conditions, meaning a mirror between 0-2 dirty, instead of first year getting that and the dirtiness slowly increasing towards the end of the survey. And that is an arbitrary number.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Wow...now I know. :)

...and all I had to do, was ask.

[OtterbatHellcat]

In high school, I took an astronomy class...as an after school project, I started the grinding process for a reflector....it was quite a boring undertaking.

He was a cool instructor though, Mr. Nasser. Kinda had that Carl Sagan thing going.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Funny how many folks think Pleiades is the little dipper.

[BuffCyclist]

We have a cloud camera (infrared camera that looks at the sky) so we can monitor cloud conditions in real time. It is a downward pointing camera, and points at a hemispherical mirror, that was polished by hand by someone who used to work here. Another observer has built a 24" telescope. Its quite impressive.

[BuffCyclist]

Funny how many folks think Pleiades is the little dipper.

[ROFL1]

Random question for you, how many stars are in the Pleiades, and what is another name for it?

[BuffCyclist]

Hint, the number of stars is related to its other name...

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm gonna say 7, but another name is not coming to mind.

[BuffCyclist]

The other name is the Seven Sisters.

Most people are misled by that because there are actually 9 stars, named after the Seven Sisters of greek mythology, and their two parents.

[BuffCyclist]

And what car company uses the Pleiades constellation in their logo?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Subaru?

[OtterbatHellcat]

How about Zenith televisions and Kelvinator refrigerators?...lol

[BuffCyclist]

Subaru is correct! Nicely done OBC, you get a gold star!!

[BuffCyclist]

And no idea, what do you think I am, a tv and fridge salesman?! [LOL]

[BuffCyclist]

You know the worst part about a beard (mustache also applies). No matter how freaking hard I try, I always manage to get food in my beard. What the heck is up with that?! I'm not a messy eater either!

[OtterbatHellcat]

Well, zenith, the point straight up, must be a bad ass tv, right? and kelvin, absolute zero...that's cold, must be a bad ass fridge, right?

[BuffCyclist]

Good call. I'm sold.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yep...facial hair, I has it.

...ever get a mustache hair stuck in a pop can lid, and pull the can away from your mouth?

ouch.

[BuffCyclist]

Oh heck no, that'd hurt like heck!

I don't drink soda though, so I'm probably good. And if offered a beer in a can, I'll drink water instead lol. And yes, I'm somewhat of a beer snob.

[BuffCyclist]

Coors Light in a can. No thanks.

Coors Light in a bottle. Yes please!

[LOL]

[OtterbatHellcat]

I forgot about the seven sisters thing, but it's coming back to me now. Not recalling the parents thing though...that was a long time ago.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Bottles only?...yeah, you're a beer snob.

[Beer]

[BuffCyclist]

Haha, nah, not bottles only, I like Boddingtons and those come in pint cans [LOL]

But seriously, I enjoy good beer.

[OtterbatHellcat]

If I ever get my sorry butt down your way, I'll be sure to raise a bottle or mug with ya.

[BuffCyclist]

Besides, I still have 2.5 cases (24 bottles) of my favorite beer leftover from my wedding.

Which reminds me, that was like 3 months ago, I should probably finish that beer... Guess I know what I'm doing when I get home from this shift.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Plus, you can show me around your range, and your tele..... but I have to mind my time frame, you'll be leaving there soon, right?

[BuffCyclist]

Most likely, within the next year, I believe.

[OtterbatHellcat]

A year...so I've got some time...cool.

[BuffCyclist]

[LOL]

Adding extra crap because apparently LOL is too short to be an actual post

[OtterbatHellcat]

We should mess with Bogie I think.

Maybe some black shoe polish on his spotting scope or something.

[BuffCyclist]

Wow, you know you're watching a B rate movie when they show a guy picking up a phillips screwdriver and dropping it a second later and magically its a flathead. [facepalm]

[BuffCyclist]

I gotta get me a spotting scope. I'm tired of being made fun of the range guys for "not bringing my own" as I borrow theirs. Which isn't that big of a deal, except that its broken and the tripod is actually a bipod because someone broke the third leg off.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I curse flat head screws.

That is *SO* 100 years ago technology. Might as well light a fucking candle any time I run into a flat head screw.

[BuffCyclist]

Ha, I hate em too!

I replace everything with socket head cap screws.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Dude, I need a spotting scope too, but I won't buy a cheap one, and good ones start around $400 and go up from there.

[BuffCyclist]

Yup, I've never done research into spotting scopes, I just know that like all glass, the good stuff is expensive!

[BuffCyclist]

30min and then we get to close and I'll be in bed in another 30min after that!

[OtterbatHellcat]

For that kind of money, I should get a really good scope instead.

[BuffCyclist]

Yup, I've recently become intrigued by the idea of one REALLY nice scope on a QD base, that is shared among all my rifles.

But I'd need to get at least 3-4 more rifles for that to really pan out since I only have 1 scoped rifle right now

[OtterbatHellcat]

Well, BC, it was nice runnin into ya tonight. Don't you be a going to bed without tapping some of that beer now.

Goodnight BuffCyclist .....and ho's.

..or good morning, whichever damn way ya look at it.. :D

[BuffCyclist]

No beer tonight, at work. Won't get home until Monday morning. Then its beer time.

And you too, have a good night! Err, morning since its so early lol

[OtterbatHellcat]

*tapes a naked photograph of Bob Dole on Mazins locker*

[HoneyBadger]

Heyyyyy! Wanna catch some of my photons?

[fag]

[buffalobo]

What a bunch of dirty post ho's hang here.

15 pages since Friday midnite? :thumbup:

Keep up the good work bitches.

[bogie]

Morning haux. Good run last night.

[Great-Kazoo]

The 7 sisters Wicincala Sakowin are also part of Lakota legend.

The identification and naming of stars and constellations by Native Americans predates the time of Christ and the Roman empire. Some of the tribal star legends are as ancient or older than the Greek myths.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Good morning ho bitches..

:D

[OtterbatHellcat]

Heyyyyy! Wanna catch some of my photons?

[fag]

Damn haters, be hatin'....you're just jealous.[JRope]

[OtterbatHellcat]

Freaking weird dream, recurring one, but this time it went further. I was in prison for something, don't remember what, but I manage to escape my cell....overtake a guard by assaulting him and obtaining his side arm. End up shooting, but not killing a different guard in an attempt to escape the facility. Never did escape, and this part of the dream was facing the penalties of my actions. My dad was there with me, and we actually met the female judge who would be trying my case. I think it was my bitch second grade school teacher, Mrs. Englebrick, and she was gonna lay the hammer down on my dick super hard......it was gonna be life in prison.

It sucks how real dreams seem to be, how you feel all the emotion that you would were you awake. I was dreading the hopelessness and anguish of spending the rest of my life behind bars.......then I woke up.

Any of you guys have any recurring dreams, or ones that are so vivid you believe that you are going through what's happening?

[mcjhr]

I truly have ho's in different area codes.

Seasons greetings ho's

[buffalobo]

Sounds like too many chili dogs with onions before bed. ;)

[OtterbatHellcat]

Looks like a nice day for a play off victory.

Go Bungholes !!!!

[OtterbatHellcat]

Howdy Lobo and mcJunior.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Sounds like too many chili dogs with onions before bed. ;)

lol...coulda been the bacon burger from Perkins I suppose.

[buffalobo]

What's happenin cat?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Some domestic duties for the earlier part of the day, bro....then watch the game(s)..

What's the haps on your end?

[buffalobo]

Working on the 16th floor overlooking Wash park. I hate it down here. The progressive slime is so thick and sticky, it is hard to scrape off when I leave.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Oh man, that sucks. Bustin ass on a Sunday, down in fagville....great.

[buffalobo]

Only work til 2, then race home to watch the game with the wife. I in for the goodies she cooks up, she is the football fan. I will probably whore here while watch the game.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm down with that....no goodies here though, didn't really plan for it. Sunday cooking for lunches for the week, and I'm gonna make some eggs and hash browns for breakfasts this week too.

Maybe you can get out of there a little sooner than planned.

[mcjhr]

Sup lobo, obc.

Ugh duties.....all I gotta do is sit here and look good. And clean the ex's house. :(

[OtterbatHellcat]

The 7 sisters Wicincala Sakowin are also part of Lakota legend.

That's pretty cool info...meant to say that earlier.

[mcjhr]

I have this recurring dream that I'm trying to escape Denver after the zombiepacalypse. It is not a hero type happy dream. Its intense more like a nightmare.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Well there fellers, I should be gettin on with gettin on.

Happy cleaning there, mcJunior.

...on the flip side holmeseses.

[mcjhr]

Later obc, stay outta trouble!

[bogie]

You feel trapped in a situation that you're trying to get out of and you're willing to harm somebody in the process. Your dad has been in a similar situation or he can help you in some way. Since you are dreaming about a bitchy teacher, you are seeking knowledge or information about something that may be hard for you to hear.

[bogie]

Wife went to ikea which means I'll be assembling shit all afternoon.

[bogie]

I have this recurring dream that I'm trying to escape Denver after the zombiepacalypse. It is not a hero type happy dream. Its intense more like a nightmare.

Watching too much tv mcjunior!

[bogie]

I've got two pounds of chicken tenderloins thawing out. Any ideas?

[mcjhr]

Come over to my place and we'll cook them up!
