Nah, man, this is the new "kinder, gentler" me.
HA!! you must not hang around the classic thread often!!
I'll hold dreamin back though so he doesn't
Actually, this is really the old, lazy me! I figure anybody that AJ doesn't take down will have to deal with Trish; and they'll be wishing they'd pi$$ed-off AJ after she's done with them. (If they're still capable of concious thought)
4000 yards????btw dreamin, last time i heard you were good out to 4000 yrds with that .308 ??
Any .308 round that would be safe in a Norinco M14-clone ain't gonna make it 4000 yards! I've heard of guys "nuclear loading" lightweight spitzer point .30-06 rounds for those distances, but they're using Remington 700 receivers - or better yet, pre-64 Winchester 70's; or some extremely rare clean German or late-1930's BRNO (Czech, and the best IMHO) '98 Mauser actions- with big, fat, heavy barrels!
Yeahyeahyeah; I know, "the .308 was the last and only MIL round to be (marginally) better than the '06 in an '03 Springfield to deliver decisive and accurate fire". But not in a Chinese semiauto based on the Springfield select-fire original! IF I could make a .308 get out 4000 yards without blowing myself up; it would be about 1/2" AGL, traveling only vaguely in the direction of POA at about 3-3/4 INCHES per second.
If I was serious about slapping somebody down at 2-1/4 miles (as if I could even see half that far); I'd be buying a couple pounds of Hodgdon powder and loading up exactly 16 rounds of .50 BMG to feed a 20-odd pound Barret.
