First, that whole video made me giggle a bit more than it should have.

Second, my experimentation with chicken carcasses and the Barnes "Varmint Grenade" ammo resulted in similar levels of carnage and giggling.

Jerry being Jerry. His walk off at the end is hilarious.

So the .458 SOCOM thing is much closer to reality.

Checked out what Brownells had available and with the XL upper being "dirt cheap" and the barrel/bolt combo being less than $250, I went ahead and ordered them.
Now I just need the BCG and then to pick out a front guard and a charging handle and I will be able to pop the 2 pivot pins, swap uppers and can even use the same 5.56 NATO mags I already have.

Ammo still isn't cheap but 300+gr vs 77gr makes for a lot more short range stopping power and if I ever want to start doing ELR shooting, I can look at buying a bolt action .50 BMG or a .338 Lapua for that.

Curious, why run the gun dry?

Why not top off before dry?

Because it’s not a make the beast with two backsing game, and you can’t round count in combat. It’s what’s called a weapons manipulation drill. C’mon, you have to know this by now for make the beast with two backss sake!

How would he know that?

He hasn't served, and only plays games...

That said, it is pretty obvious.

Calm down... for make the beast with two backss sake.

Why doesn't he just double-tap the reload key?

Little snakes on the range class. It’s warming up here, so “No shoulders Jake” is out and about.

That was educational, thank you.

Toilet paper shelves are starting to make a comeback, so Ammo should follow suit. I’ve been running 115gr here lately, and it’s too hot for the 48. So I broke out the M&P with the red dot on it. I run double stack guns slightly different. I use my non firing hand to drop mags and slide releases. Scrambles my little brain at bit, but all good.

Was wandering around Fleet Farm earlier today as I needed to pick up some stall mat for some decoupling in the theater (communicating doors with a air gap between the walls that needed to be covered but in a way that would not transmit vibration from the inner theater wall to the outer bar wall).

Decided to swing by the guns and ammo section and saw that they had 4 - 40rnd .223/5.56 PMags in stock so I snatched em up along with a dozen boxes of Federal Premium Sierra Matchking.
It was on sale and I am going to be doing some shooting over 250yds this coming weekend so I wanted something better than my normal plinking ammo.

But the shelves were still considerably bare of common ammo. I still need to make a drive over to Brownells and wander around. Haven't been in their new retail facility yet and they have been there some time now.
