I agree 100%....actually I think a large % of the people who post here are still in their teens, at least here in GD. I'll go check out your other post

Falcore, First and foremost, you say you hate cleaning. Sorry but if you shoot you clean! I use UMC yellow box 5.56. I have not had any malfunctions (due to ammo) and it shoots as clean as any I have seen. Good shooting and cleaning!

Crowboy, I do shoot a lot, that's why I have to clean sooo much. That's why I hate it. Cant have fun without some pain, but lets minimize it.

Quoted: You told me this web site had a lot of active, experienced shooters. Where are they, ecpecially the "senior" members? Look at my thread "more fun less work" posted in maintenance. The question requires a little shooting experience. It's been there one full week---not one reply. I think your guys must collect and accesorize their toys but not use them. Maybe you should have posted it in the ammunition forum where it belonged. There are plenty of folks there who will try and tell you which ammo is cleaner than the other. Also, try the "search" function of the board. I'm sure the ammo thing has been gone over before. I can't answer your ammunition questions because I haven't shot factory .223 or .45 ammo in years. [img]albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=183095&a=1591939&p=15045277[/img] That's about 1/3 of my loading equipment, which I would have no use for if I wasn't shooting, now, would I? Most of us "experienced" folks skim over the posts of people who want to argue about not cleaning their firearms. If you don't want to clean, fine, that's your business. |

collectively, we have little or no experience...............one thing is basically true, (with 1 or 2 exceptions) the cheaper the ammo, the dirtier....(i/e russian sludge)........[smoke]

So you go to the maintenance forum and post a " I don't want to clean" message?

It is nice to see some "seniors". The thread is not about cleaning---it is about the cleanest burning, least fouling, inexpensive ammo. Sorry for the ruffled feathers.

HIELO, I was a newbie--in 1948 when I cleaned my first BAR.

Falcore, if you cleaned your first BAR in 1948
you and I are old enough to know many of the "experienced" shooters are no longer with us. This is a pretty good day to remember them. |

I suppose I should check out all of the forums. but I don't. Never even looked in Maint. I'm fairly comfortable about about the requirements that my personal weapons have.

Heehee guess some of them found you!
At times the location of posts will kill you and at others it's just the topic itself. I assume you'll get enough attention from the crew now. ]=) I apologize for not being on last few days, been cleaning up code and putting out fires, apparently little sleep causes illness as I'm now sick as a dog! -- GB |

Quoted: Hey, is the "Big Blue" thing new Waldo? [i](I can still see through [u]your[/u] "clear" parts)[/i] [:D][:D][:D] No, but it's an old picture. At the time I was still building up Dillon stuff and had just added a completely new caliber, must have been .45 IIRC. When I add a caliber I go with a complete toolhead setup, each with a dedicated powder measure, as you can see. Have a ".223 rapidtrim" that's not in the pic too. |
