Annealing is a "stress reliever"... bending the brass into a new shape can cause stress build up in the metal due to cold working. By heating it up it allows the molecules to "relax" into their new locations. Not required, but it does extend the life of the brass according to some people...

I've got an exterior ballistics book at home that probably has the answer- I'll check it later.

I'm not... but only because I'm anal about head stamps and I don't want my .300 brass to still have .223/Nato head stamps. If you search youtube, there are a lot of videos of guys converting the brass using a little Harbor Freight cut off saw and the .300 BLK dies.

You're right about the cost, that's for sure. I'm probably going to order 250 of the MAST loaded rounds from Palmetto State. They are 220 grain match bullets over who knows how much powder. Problem is, if they don't shoot worth a darn, I'll have about two hundred bucks worth of ammo to use...

I'm currently hunting .300BLK parts and pieces. I think I'm just going to get 250 factory rounds and worry about reloading after I burn those up... So sometime next week I guess.

I've got three "nice-ish" scopes that I've compared side by side... Leupold VX-II, Nikon Monarch, and a Zeiss Conquest. All are 3-9x40 and all are mounted on bolt guns. I have no complaints about any of them, but what I've noticed: The VX-II is very clear, gathers light well at dusk (like...

Well... damn... :) And I approve!

Yeah- I hear ya. I'm only deep into a couple of ARs and they share the same can. But they're not worth much until I find the one person that likes Geissele triggers and has a Specwar to fit my mount. I'd consider the optics separate- those can always go on their own. Regardless, those...

Well, I won't be selling the ones I have 2x their value tied up in add on parts. I mean really, how the hell do I have a grand in a 10/22? That includes the scope, but still.

Now I have a reason to go to Movie Stop. Haven't seen that one that I recall.

Yup. Me too- and I get wet when it starts raining mid way through a cook. All weather grilling sounds too good to be true!

I don't think anyone would argue that it's a buyer's market in the AR world right now. When I built my first one (out of already assembled parts... so "when I pinned my first upper onto a lower") I think I had 800 bucks or more into it going as budget as possible. Never thought I'd see sub...

Like it! One of the things I really want in the next house is an outdoor kitchen area. Probably have to build it myself, but something like concrete counter tops and a sink for washing vegetables and other things that mess up the real kitchen.

Yes. By all means waste the time of the police dept. It's not like they have real crimes that require their attention.

Ok- five year old Galco UDC with a G26... doesn't really smell like anything anymore. Or maybe it smells just like me and I don't notice.

G26 with night sights, although they have gotten pretty dim. And I put some rubberized grip tape on the top of the slide. Other than that, I has a few character marks.

I had no idea Magpul had the first shot at that design... stupid move. Yes it does have a lot of parts compared to a plain old collapsible stock and it is heavier, but 1. it works and 2. the weight is adds balance. Best part is I've yet to lose a whisker to the Ergo stock. I'll have a damn...

Got one second hand and it locks up absolutely solid- and adds enough weight to the back end for some balance. Currently probably my favorite collapsible stock.

:nod2:

Wow... about a 75% success rate on that one.
