GAH!!!

I ordered a MidwayUSA Pro Competition Shooting Mat and waited 3 weeks for it to be delivered. Just got it today and the stupid thing is missing the strap to pre-load the bipod, which is the one reason I went with the $50 version instead of the $30 version!

Called them up, they're out of stock again so they can't verify if they are all like that and the webpage didn't get updated, or if mine was just a screw up. Now I have to return the stupid thing, wait another 1-2 weeks (per their instructions) to see if the description page is updated, and then order another.

Meh, just as well, its not like I have any time to go out shooting anyways. [gohome]

[HoneyBadger]

Get mad at them on the phone and they might just let you keep the one they sent you. I've had Midway do this for me before.

I got pissed, that I already waited 3 weeks for it and I get shipped a defective one and they dont give a crap. I have to pay for shipping back to them too. But the guy said he noted that it was defective and that i'll be ordering another and they're reimburse me for my shipping costs.

hmmm. crappy. I've had PSA send me extra parts before and when I called them to let them know, they just told me to keep them. One of the parts was a QD bipod mount that I didn't order that was worth about $40.

Called back again just to make sure they'll reimburse me the shipping I paid too and explained my frustration again. Noyhing. No matter what, they said wait another 1-2 weeks before buying again to give them time to investigate investigate the description.

Lame.

I ordered a vibratory tumbler from Brownells and they shipped a $250 trigger unit for a AR10 with it. I called them and they had me send it back, but gave me a coupon code for $50 off my next purchase to cover the shipping cost and inconvenience, and probably as a thank you for my honesty.

Nah, sorry. I barely drive mine anymore as it is and with a baby on the way, I can't afford a payment. Luckily, all 3 of our cars of paid off and even though I want to sell my Xterra and Mini to fund a Mini Countryman ALL4, it would mean a car payment and its not worth it.

Maybe this should go in the "Some people can't park" thread, but the middle of the road is not a good parking place:

My dad was in the turn lane this morning to turn left into the gas station when he was hit from behind by a drunk driver (at 9am) going approx. 50 mph. This pushed him into oncoming traffic where he was hit head-on by another car traveling about 40 mph. He walked away, but the drunk driver and the older gentleman who he hit head-on both left the scene in ambulances. It seems that I should start driving around with bubble wrap in my trunk.

His words: "I am very thankful to be totally unharmed after a driver (she was hauled away for test) drove into me and pushed me into oncomming traffic this morning. I attribute it to a great automobile design, that I am in fairly good physical condition, and being looked out for. I walked away from this 6 car event while two others did not. Please pray for them. 4 airbags in total deployed, front, left side door panel, right side seat, rear from behind me someplace. I was completely surrounded by air bags through all impacts. All in all, I'm really impressed with the engineering of the car. Estimated speed of the person hitting me from behind was about 50mph. I was at a complete stop in line to turn, that pushed me into oncomming traffic. The offending car then traveled and hit two trucks getting gas at the Speedway. The person I hit head on was an elderly gentleman. Took him to the hospital and I don't know his condition. The woman who hit me was also taken to the hospital, to patch-up her head and give her a blood test. I am car shopping."

Dad said that the older gentleman looked quite frail and shaky and probably needs some extra prayers. The drunk that hit him probably needs some spiritual guidance too... she was 28 years old and so drunk that 15 minutes after the accident, her car still reeked of alcohol. At 9am. Anyone driving drunk at 9am probably needs a whole different type of help.

Yea yea yea, I know. But Brownell's doesn't sell MidwayUSA products. And I wanted that shooting mat because of the price and also the bipod webbing. Most of the other shooting mats I've seen start at $100. A yoga mat works, but its hard to preload the bipod on it.

I was 100% wrong. Read what Crays said below. [gohome]

[crays]

Please correct me if I have it backwards, but I believe the after 1:9 twist can stabilize lighter bullets better and the slower twist is better for heavier bullets. Is that what you were looking for?

1:9 is slower. 1 rev in 9 inches.
Heavier bullet needs faster twist to stabilize vs. lighter bullet. Original Stoner design was 1:12, IIRC. Changed from 9 to 7 twist for heavier M855 (62g)

Regarding 1:7 vs 1:9, doesn't the barrel length come into play as well?

A 20" barrel that is 1:9 will stabilize heavy bullets too, about as well as a 16" barrel with a 1:7. Or at least thats what I've been told... so if I'm wrong, I'm blaming it on one of you hos who told me otherwise. [Coffee]

Oh I've had knowledge for quite a while now, just too lazy to implement it on a daily basis. Which is partly why I really enjoy this thread [LOL]

So, I take it that is an accurate statement about barrel lengths?

[brutal]

Best read I've seen for understanding the topic (and myths) of bullet stabilization.

http://anarchangel.blogspot.com/2007/01/stabilization-mythology.html

In short, the LENGTH of a bullet (and longer = heavier in general) the more air can disturb the bullet. Higher rotational stability is needed to prevent the disturbance. A faster twist barrel provides the necessary rotation.

Think of how much rotation a really short top may need to remain upright if you blow air on it, vs how much rotation would be needed to keep a much taller top stable.

Barrel length affects stabilization only by virtue of loss of velocity affecting rotation speed.

Bullet stabilization:

a longer barrel with a slower twist can stabilize a bullet that it otherwise shouldn't be able to.

you cannot over stabilize a bullet.

the weight of a bullet isn't the key part about twist, its the length of the projectile. Longer projectiles (heavier) stabilize better with faster twist.


so: a 55 gr (because of the projectile length) can be sufficiently stabilized by a 1/9 twist. A 77 gr can also be stabilized by a 1/9, but you can get better LONGER RANGE stabilization and accuracy using a 1/8 or 1/7 twist. A 55 gr can also benefit by a faster twist.

At least got to sit on porch drinking coffee with youngest minion snoozing away on my lap and watch sunrise.

The fox that lives in the neighborhood and that we have not seen in couple months cruised thru the yard. Glad to see her still around and hope she gets knocked up and has a litter this year.

Nothing like waking up hearing your dog dry heaving, then running across the house to let them outside before they puke on the carpet, then stepping in it because you're too blind without your glasses to see that they just puked and you didn't make it. [facepalm]

[OtterbatHellcat]

Valiant effort, BC.

It's even better when they blow chunks while you're sleeping...and you get up in the middle of the night for something..... and GOOSH.. step in a cold wet pile of yak.

Good stuff.

[HoneyBadger]

Hahaha great story BC. I laugh because I've done this too... [Awesom]

[OtterbatHellcat]

Morning HB...you without city water this morning?

[HoneyBadger]

Morning HB...you without city water this morning?
No... Should I be?

[OtterbatHellcat]

9 was showing some water main blowout down there this morning.

[HoneyBadger]

Huh. Nope. I live way out on the northeast edge of town. [Dunno]

[OtterbatHellcat]

Well that's good, they said some houses were flooded because of it.

Doing anything neato today?

[HoneyBadger]

Thanks for asking though. I wonder what the appropriate response for a water main break would be if I were affected. Could I still be affected even though my water is still on? Nobody likes drinking contaminated water...

[HoneyBadger]

Well that's good, they said some houses were flooded because of it.

Heading to church in a few minutes, then doing some yardwork and cleaning up around the house. Maybe if I'm a good boy, Mrs HB will let me head up to Cabelas in Lone tree. How about you?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Just tinkering with getting the sprinkler system up and running. You know how that can go, leaky heads, install a new riser ...crap like that.

Fun stuff... I used to work for a small landscaper when I was in high school and I know he made a killing from "tuning up" and repairing broken systems. Easy-peezy. Things have changed a little bit, but not THAT much. Let me know if you have any questions. Or ask McJunior... He's a current professional. [Beer]

[stoner01]

Xbox is down...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[OtterbatHellcat]

Thanks, yeah, I've had my share of repairs on this system. The guy that put it together had some cool ideas. The panels and all the valves and stuff are in a cellar remote from the house. 12 valves on a huge manifold...it's actually done pretty well for the 20 years we've lived here.

This is an acre property, and the dude ran heads on the whole thing, but I only use 5 zones from one panel, and 2 from the other one.

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Hey hoes.

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

How many beers you drink yesterday OBC?

[HoneyBadger]

Hey HCWT. Top o the morning to ya.

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Hey. Just sitting here catching up on some forum reading holding my little baby girl.

[crays]

Bullet stabilization:

a longer barrel with a slower twist can stabilize a bullet that it otherwise shouldn't be able to.

you cannot over stabilize a bullet.

the weight of a bullet isn't the key part about twist, its the length of the projectile. Longer projectiles (heavier) stabilize better with faster twist.


so: a 55 gr (because of the projectile length) can be sufficiently stabilized by a 1/9 twist. A 77 gr can also be stabilized by a 1/9, but you can get better LONGER RANGE stabilization and accuracy using a 1/8 or 1/7 twist. A 55 gr can also benefit by a faster twist.

Good points, Belly. I was wanting to touch on bearing surface, in my ramblings yesterday, but I knew that would start to get me in over my head pretty fast. I feel like I have a pretty good handle on the theory, but many of you guys have far more actual knowledge/experience.

Best read I've seen for understanding the topic (and myths) of bullet stabilization.

http://anarchangel.blogspot.com/2007/01/stabilization-mythology.html

In short, the LENGTH of a bullet (and longer = heavier in general) the more air can disturb the bullet. Higher rotational stability is needed to prevent the disturbance. A faster twist barrel provides the necessary rotation.

Think of how much rotation a really short top may need to remain upright if you blow air on it, vs how much rotation would be needed to keep a much taller top stable.

Barrel length affects stabilization only by virtue of loss of velocity affecting rotation speed.

Cat's rules:

1. Never puke on a hard floor if carpet is nearby.
2. Puking is required in more than one room.
3. Cat must immediately return to the food bowl from whence it just puked up and re-prime the puke pump.

Yo peeps.

It wasn't too shitty of a monday for me, hope ya'll can say the same.

[BuffCyclist]

Most suspenseful way to hire someone: call them 1hr before closing time (which is 2hrs ahead of them), offer them the position and tell them they can start tomorrow after they sign the offer letter, which you are going to email in a few minutes. Then never email the offer letter and let them simmer all night long, wondering where the offer letter is. [gohome]

When I get down towards town, I might be able to drive the damn thing more often without getting BUGS all over it, like out here in the sticks.

[BuffCyclist]

Yea, I thought it was ironed out too but HR kept taking their jolly time. They had the job description I wrote in December and waited to post it until 4/1, with no real reason. They told us they could open/close it in a week and start me on 4/15, then they claimed other crap. Got a prelim offer letter last week Wed, had background checks to go through and they came back today and offered me the job via phone, and its not official until I sign the letter.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm assuming that you're going to sign it and those dumbasses will be happy, you will be happy, and stuff can all go forward smoothly now?

[stoner01]

Got some plans made up,for the armor. Now to get come drawings made up and prototyped. Thanks to Erni for the assist.

That's good to hear. Whenever I think about military working dogs, I remember the episode of NCIS where the dog's trainer/handler got murdered and the NCIS team took the dog in while they investigated it. Not sure if that's relevant at all, but it's what I think of. Also, the German and Belgian shepherds that sniff me at work.
