[HoneyBadger]

Okay, somebody better slap me. I just got back from the range and on the way back I'm thinking to myself

"Self, I don't think I'll ever need any other .223 ARs. I just put 10 shots nearly through the same hole with one, I've got a patrol/truck gun that is set up for hiking, shtf, bringing guests to the range, or whatever, and I've got a 10.5" SBR. That pretty much meets my needs"


Now sure, new products will come out that I will buy to dress them up, but I really can't think of a .223 need that isn't fulfilled by those three guns.

I must be sick.

[brutal]

The circle was around the first 5 shots which measure .59" and they are all touching. I got excited and sloppy with the second set of shots and it opened the group up a little. One shot in the second group went through the main hole.

[Irving]

So if I end up breaking my AR in at an indoor range, where should my poi be on a 25-yard target if I want to site for 100 yards?

[HoneyBadger]

Depends on how high your sights are above the bore, but about 1.5 inches below center should be pretty darn close.

[SideShow Bob]

So if I end up breaking my AR in at an indoor range, where should my poi be on a 25-yard target if I want to site for 100 yards?

Go here and print out the zero target. It is the Military 25/300 meter zero.

http://www.bobdbob.com/~deneb/doc/targets/m4-carbine-zero.pdf

At a 25 meter zero you will be approximately 6+ inches high at 100 meters.

If you can push it out to a 50 meter zero (50/200) you will be approximately 2 inches high at 100 meters.

From there, you can adjust your sights and or scope to the + or - MOA to get you to the general 100 meter zero.

[SideShow Bob]

But this will not give him a 100yd zero like he wants.

See the edited version of my post.

[HoneyBadger]

Irving, lots of folks like to zero at 50yds, because while shooting 55gr projectiles from a 14.5" barrel, you'll also be almost perfectly zero'd at 200yds.

If you only have a 25yd range, then may God have mercy on your soul. [ROFL1]

Seriously though, I always start at 25 just to get on paper. I've had factory sights be WAY off when sighting in and I've wasted a bunch of ammo by starting at 50 or 100.

[Irving]

I know about the 50/200 relationship, but as I don't really know what I'm going to do with this rifle, I figured I'd just pick a spot and go with it. A lot of this range trip will be function testing and I don't want to drive for over an hour for longer distances just to have some issue. Thanks for the links guys. I think there is a chart some where, but I was on my phone at the time.

Shooting at large pcs of paper is better than 1 or 2 small ones for zero. I set standard targets up on top of white butcher style paper. This way IF the POI is somewhere other than intended target, i have an idea where it's hitting. Instead of going, Anyone see where that hit?

[Irving]

There we go, thanks.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Howdy brothers.....

Nice shooting HB...and great info on the sighting in btw. I always appreciate learning stuff from you guys.

Seriously though, I always start at 25 just to get on paper. I've had factory sights be WAY off when sighting in and I've wasted a bunch of ammo by starting at 50 or 100.

FWIW, on anything that's going to run a red dot optic, I'll zero that first with a rough bore-sight, even if it's a visual look through the barrel with the action open. You'd be surprised how close you can get. Then, being as I absolute co-witness everything, I lolipop the irons to the zeroed optic and it's almost always within a click or few.

I can also usually zero a scoped setup within one or two rounds depending on conditions and ammo if you're close on paper after bore-sight and have the rifle in a sled. I think most of us know the technique, but take your first shot and then just place your crosshair back on the on the bullseye (POA) and then walk it into the hole the last round made by adjusting the turrets (POI). Key is to have a solid foundation and not move the rifle during the adjustment.

However, sometimes it's fun to just fuck around and waste ammo trying to get on paper. :D

[HoneyBadger]

Howdy brothers.....

Thanks dude. I don't think I'm really a great shooter, but I certainly have a nice shooting gun. And the whole setup wasn't as crazy expensive as some other guys' setups. I think I have about $1200 into it. I have more money into my SBR. [Dunno]

[HoneyBadger]

Anyone watching the games today? I'm about to head to a bar with some friends to watch the Pats get smashed by the Colts. [Abused]

Oh yeah, also I only have irons.

[mcantar18c]

Irving where are you going to shoot?

[Irving]

I thought I might go over to Shoot Indoors, but it's too late now. In all likelihood I'll end up shooting the rifle for the first time at a local IDPA match.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I was too busy cooking to remember that the NFC game was even on.... I think the AFC one starts real soon from now.

[Jamnanc]

I was hoping for pats vs the pack. But watching Russell appear humble and honored and having it seem real (along with some team prayer) made me like the Seahawks a little bit more. Now it's a 2 of 10.

Autocorrect used Rogers instead of Rodgers in a FB post I made on my son's feed today.

Meetings all day today.

yeah, was a start of the work week for sure

[brutal]

Meetings all day today.

had back-back-back-back calls and webex all day.

so busy I overlooked a text from a client for an hour. I guess if it was that important he would have called.

[brutal]

Aaaaannnddd I just realized I forgot to pay for my membership renewal at BLGC.

Derp.

[brutal]

Sent a pleading e-mail to the club pres, but then the site actually let me pay, so I may be out of the klink afterall.

[brutal]

I hope my badge still works.

[brutal]

That's assuming I'll ever find the time to go out there soon.

[Irving]

Found out I can actually ask for admin time to get my paper work stuff done. I tried it out and it was as simple as asking. To bad I won't need it by the time I get it. Should have asked sooner.

Our new timekeeping that = "Unassigned" unless directly billable to a project, training, IP development, etc. B.S really, makes the utilization look shitty.

Hey Kazoo (or other good fellas of the PWT), how light can I load a 55gr .223 projectile with H335 and keep my AR functioning?

[Irving]

18.1 grains?

[HoneyBadger]

How exactly did you arrive at 18.1?

[Irving]

It's what I thought I remembered from your post about working down a load. I thought you were quizzing us. After I posted I thought maybe your post about how low you could go was for a different bullet weight, but didn't bother correcting since it's only in the PWT. Sorry if I got you excited. :)

[Great-Kazoo]

Same way he guessed that fighter was 6' off the deck [facepalm]

Well i usually go to mfg load data and work from there. While also reading the load data info from Speer, Hornady, #49 etc. I'm not near my data sheets so you're going to do your own leg work for now.

Curious you read the data given on the container? Keeping in mind that data is HIGH END of load.

I then visit other sites where know load data is posted, ALWAYS WORKING FROM LOW END, ALWAYS

Yeah, I'm WAY below the official "starting point" on any official load data. I'm around 18 gr., but that wasn't consistently locking back my bolt on an empty mag.

HB...I AM NOT A RELOADING PRO by any stretch of anybodies imagination, but the kid and I reloaded 55 gr. Noslers with 22 grains of H335. We did some 50 gr. Zmax stuff at 24 grains as well. I've not put either through any of my stuff yet due to "life circumstances", but the kid had good results with the first loads mentioned, and the second loads did react differently, but I don't remember exactly how they did for him. I'd have to ask him to be sure, but there were no issues with either of them, I know that much.

Some damn day, I'll get to try our loads out on my rifle and see for myself.

[HoneyBadger]

Basically, I want maximum economy out of my powder. Keeping distances under 200yds, and not wasting any powder, but not affecting the function of the rifle.

Thanks OBC. I've worked up loads to 25.8gr of H335, but now I'm trying to see how low I can go. I'm weird like that.

You'll really appreciate a good bolt action once you relocate. I believe i have a few shooting spots arranged for you. Start brushing up on your beer consumption. My nephew's a professional drinker.

[wctriumph]

So, the wife comes home from taking the daughter to work and wakes me up at 5:30 in the morning and says the truck has rolled out into the street and she can't get it started to pull it back in to the driveway. I get dressed and go out and check it out. It won't go into park so I shift to neutral and start it up, pull into the driveway and it just will not go into park. I set the brake and put it into reverse and shut it off. No worries, it does not roll away. When the Ford dealership opens I call them and explain the issue and they say that they have seen this before, bring it in, there is a problem with the linkage, it will cost me about $200 to fix it. Shit! $200! I call a local independent garage and they tell me the same thing. Shit. Shit. I call the auto parts store to see if they might have the parts needed to fix it, explain the issue and the counter guy says, no worries, Ford trucks do this all the time. I have had a few Ford trucks and have NEVER had this happen before. The guy tells me that the linkage under the dash has two bolts that have come loose and allowed some sloppyness into the linkage, just tighten the bolts and should be good to go. I check out YouTube and there were a few videos that covered this issue.

I get under the dash and believe me, for a big man like me, that was not so easy. I find the area he is talking about and sure enough, the bolt is loose. I go into my tool box and no T-30 to be found. I have the other sizes but not the T-30. I go over to the auto parts store, thank the guy behind the counter and ask if they have a T-30 torx. They don't. Neither did the store across the street but Ace Hardware did!

I buy the T-30, tighten the bolt and all is well. So, the local guys tell me $200 +/- and I fixed it for $7.50. I hate working on cars but it looks like I am going to need to develop a fondness for working on my Expedition from now on.

My Amigo does the same thing and I was the one who broke the linkage. I'd pay someone $200 to fix it in a heart beat!

When you have time and it's not so cold, I would pull those bolts and put some locktite on them and re-install.

< OR > you could have asked us first, and we would have given you the info sooner. Nice job on fixing it yourself though. I will add that the Ford shift shafts ( E and F series for sure) have plastic bushings (2) that wear over time, and need to eventually be replaced. ALSO, the shift handle TO the shift shaft PIN/HOLE will get hogged out over time as well. I've replaced so many of these over the years..the biggest factor is rapid handle movement and/or attempting to shift before foot is on brake pedal, and "slamming" it back up into PARK frequently. The only other thing that could stress the shift selecting system would be a shift cable that was offering too much resistance due to friction in the cable....and helping to loosen those bolts at the bottom of the shaft where the cable attaches on the pin. ETA... ALSO the pressure from the return spring at the bottom of the shaft assembly helps to wear out the the plastic bushings.
