Wow, that is one sharp looking rifle.

[50cal Smokepole]

I tried magnum loads (150 grns powder) and the pressures caused a few small burn channels to open up after a few rounds. That raised hell with the accuracy. When I started, I was grouping sub-MOA @ 100.

[50cal Smokepole]

Thanks. It’s been a while.

[Clint N. Suhks]

A mutual friend in North Dakota said the rivers haven’t froze up nort yet but we are finally seeing Black Heads down here.

You seeing anything yet?

[umgud]

thanks

[mylife]

Did you get any deer this year?

I need a football bat for all the darn squirrels.

[2111USMC]

We finally got to the range last weekend with the wife’s new LC9.

It was her first time firing an auto-loader. She did great!
(I’ll give her credit too because she’s a southpaw and she figured out how to work with the right handed controls.)

Only problem we had were light strikes on Aguila ammo (no problems with three other brands of ammo.)

Aguila has a reputation for having hard primers. I’ve run into this in the past with one of my revolvers. I decided to finish off the box in my KelTec P11. The KelTec would fire it but it had a failure to feed after every shot. I think they were loaded just a little bit long because normally my P11 will eat anything (similar to the CZ).

I ain’t buying anymore Aguila ammo. I don’t care what a good deal it is.

[50cal Smokepole]

I was out shooting the other day. 50 degrees! Hit 43 today. I haven’t seen anything interesting yet (Canada honkers don’t count). Bad year for ice fishing so far. “Should I grab the ice auger or the boat?”

[smokingfrog]

I’ve had those Angus dogs before. They’re pretty good.

Think I’ll try some on the grill next time.

[mylife]

Hmmm...
I used PMC in mine worked like a hose.
I have had trouble with aguila, but not due to primers.
It was 68 gr subsonic .22 and the issue was a feed issue.
I don’t blame the ammo, it just wasn’t meant for use on semi autos

[2111USMC]

Damn! I gotta show that to my son. I bought him an AK about 3 years ago.

[mylife]

It’s hard to beat a good chili dawg!

Speaking of Sons of Guns...

[50cal Smokepole]

No venison this year. Really bad weather for hunting. Lots of does and small bucks. We’ll need to do some thinning next season.

[mylife]

Free shipping!

I don’t know why it doesn’t seem to work as well as the SSAR-15 in videos.

Theoretically it should work just as well.
I think it’s the user in the videos.
I will get a report from actual users.

[50cal Smokepole]

Oh, the football bat won't kill a tree rat unless you're in close. For longer shots, use the pellet adapter. It's actually pretty accurate for a smooth bore w/ shotgun sights. I nailed a rabbit in the head @ 27 yds.

[mylife]

LOL! too true!

[davetex]

Hey I’ve got a football bat I’d sell. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever use it for what I bought it for. Haven’t seen another cotton mouth since I got it.

[mylife]

OK.
I was going to go squirrel hunting for the first time a few weeks back, but my back has been fouled up for 1.5 months.

I bet they are pretty good in a pot pie.
I know they are good on a grill.

[2111USMC]

Yep, PMC ran perfect through hers, too.

This is three different guns now that have had problems with Aguila. Two of them failure-to-fire (.38 SPL and 9mm), and one that fails to feed the stuff.

I most definitely will blame this ammo now. Lot’s of other mfrs ammo run through them just fine and I keep my guns clean and in good condition. Won’t bother with it anymore.

[50cal Smokepole]

Uh huh. And as you get rid of it, they'll be back. Heck, get some pellets and do some cheap plinking.

[mylife]

I’d use a 410 for Cotton Mouths.

[mylife]

Thanks, I will shy away from Aguila.

[mylife]

KIDO feed is breaking up.

[mylife]

Remington barrels are clapped out in 5 shots?

[alfa6]

Okay, I give up what is a “football bat”?

Curious minds or at least one mind wants to know?

[smokingfrog]

The KIDO stream is getting hinkey.

[smokingfrog]

Birdshot is a very small metal powder that creates a cloud of projectiles when fired from a large shotgun.

LOL!

[davetex]

That’s kind of what I thought too. Point taken.

[alfa6]

Remington barrels are clapped out in 5 shots

Yea that sounded a bit weird.

Regards

alfa6 ;>}

[50cal Smokepole]

I'm responsible for the nickname. It's a Gamo .22 cal air shotgun. (The idea is as weird as a....)

[davetex]

50 is the resident football bat expert around here. I have one but have only put about 20 rounds through it.

He has much more experience than I do.

[mylife]

What is it #12 shot?

[mylife]

Why chip a gun for inventory?

Just chip the price tag if you want inventory control.

[alfa6]

From looking at the shells I guess that they won’t fit a regular .22 airgun.

Regards

alfa6 ;>}

[50cal Smokepole]

No, they’re proprietary. The gun comes with an adapter (chamber insert) that lets you shoot pellets. It does pretty well for a smooth bore.

[mylife]

I imagine the rifling would prevent them from being inserted into the bore.

Even if they fit, you wouldn’t want to use them in a rifled bore.
The Shot column would spin out fast and wide.

[smokingfrog]

Great for quick target acquisition.

[mylife]

Oh BTW Mickeys pistol range is still proudly wearing your sign "Occupy the gun range" on the door to the range. ☺

[alfa6]

Having seen the size of #7.5 shot I cant imagine that the #9 would do much good past about 10 yards or so.

I will stick to my trusty Beeman and my old Crosmann 766 for tree rat and gutter eagle control:-)

I have gotten tree rats at about 100’ with the Beeman and .22HP pellets

Regards

alfa6 ;>}

[mylife]

Beemans are excellent

[alfa6]

Glad to have been at service, yee haw

[mylife]

It looks very sporty! LOL

[50cal Smokepole]

I use it for varmint control at home. Too many houses around for pellets in most cases. I originally got it to get rid of grackles, which it did just fine.

[mylife]

Somebody dumped a Suburban in the river over Christmas at the range, and now some knuckleheads have been shooting upstream toward the bridge, which is being worked on.

Workers complained that rounds where whizzing by them to the DPD.

DPD says if it happens again they will shut down the range until the bridge repairs are done.

GRRR...
I aint mad at the cops, I’m mad at the idiots.
We may have to tighten up on lessees.

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

“I don’t blame the ammo, it just wasn’t meant for use on semi autos”

Aguila Supermax works great in my semi autos (Ruger 10/22, Ruger Mark I, etc)...the subsonic may not have enough punch for your semis...

I like it so much that I mostly use it...

[davetex]

Very much so. And if it fails, all you have to do is flip up BUIS and keep shooting.

Hey I just ordered on of these:

http://palmettostatearmory.com/1726.php

What do you think?

[alfa6]

I have to be careful of the backstop but usually the tree rats oblige me by being in front of a trunk or large branch.

How far will the “bat” reach out?

Regards

alfa6 ;>}

[alfa6]

I kinda wish the road crew had a quad .50, a burst or two would solve that problem.

It’s always some idiot that has to screw it up for everybody else.
