Damn you sunflower seed, why are you so addictive.

Thank god for pandora.

I have NO energy today. It takes all of me just to get up and go to the restroom. I just feel drained.

$2.36 per 10 miles. How does that sound?

Millage

[ssh 924]

Aren't you using liquid propane or something? High tax?

My vehicle gets around 30mpg, so that's ~0.33 gallon for 10 miles, and at $3.35 per gallon, it would cost $1.10

Went to the range today and got sighted in. Started off with a 3moa group, and ended with a 1moa group of 3rounds. The bags I made helped a ton! I'd push the rear of the stock down into the bag so the crosshairs were above target, slightly squeeze on the bag, release, and the crosshairs would be dead on. Biggest issue for me is maintaining the same cheek-weld, and follow through.

[topgun 262]

Shoot for 5, preferably 10 round groups for accuracy. .

3 round is for internet bragging. Last ar I shot was a .5 moa if you pick 3 rounds and about 2 or a bit more with 10.

Follow through is easy, concentrate on trigger.

I've always had good luck with running bags on the fore end and left hand under the butt for elevation. Make sure the forearm is free floated and isn't trying pushed into the barrel. Factory stock is pretty limp in the front so may have to sand the channel out some.

Note howmuch the forearm moves when you tension the bipod.

Half the battle though is getting out there and getting rounds downrange.

Oh everyone complains about the stock on my rifle, they call it "tubber-ware," and they say dremeling out the front to free-float the barrel is a joke because it'll just keep flexing til it hits the barrel. With the rifle held up, I can slip a dollar bill between the barrel and stock, then it down on the bipods, and the dollar is stuck.

So a stock upgrade is the next thing on the agenda.

My original 3moa group was 15rds, then I took the caps off the glass to set them back to zero, and fired three on a new sheet to double check I didn't bump any of the settings.

I've probably fired 70rds on the rifle so far. Luckily I can drive for ten minutes to go shoot, only hindrance is ammo cost, but I plan on reloading relatively soon.

Liquefied petroleum gas. So the big difference seems to be that here - $6.05 per gallon of petrol. $2.75 for LPG.

[The enD 467]

My math was wrong - $1.01 per 10 miles. 27mpg

I feel old saying this, but new rap sucks. I've been on a big country music kick.

There is no such thing as rap any more. It's now hip hop, which is just marketing bullshit. Rap was born as a way for the black community to get their message out since the white man pays them no attention. It sucks, but that's the way it is still today, but the record execs have grabbed hold of the "talent" and used them for their bidding.

There are no more stories or messages; it's just about a party and shaking your ass or talking about your money and posessions. No need to listen to it.

That's why the only one I even enjoy at all anymore is Atmosphere.

Country and rap are the same thing.

Both talk about nothing but women, drinking and their vehicles.

and guns

[Tirefryr 1,742]

It's so nice to finally be able to watch a Yanks game.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Speaking of guns, I have one on the way and filed for my permit today.

[Godsmack 361]

What are you getting?

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Kel-Tec PF-9 and put a KSG on layaway.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

How the fuck can you make 5 errors in a game and 3 in one inning?

[topgun 262]

Nice Ryan.

Reloading saves zero money, just means you shoot more for said money.
