    My new toy

    Well, the S&W 500 looks more like a 45-70 opened up to .500, to me. That gun weighs 72 oz, or three pounds more then most handguns. I think that may just be too big for a handgun. 40 oz is a very heavy big gun to carry around. I'm not sure the extra 30 oz, and size, is worth the benefits of...

    My new toy

    http://www.gunblast.com/Paco.htm Just started playing with the above. See how it works. I have a .224 barreled Colt Trooper, that is currently being gripped, and reworked by a master smith. This tool makes sure the bullets fit. The pistol shot thumbnail at 10 yards with high vel ammo...

    My new toy

    Good article. Rifling parameters have always been rather clear as far as twist for caliber, and bullet length. Only our government had problems with that, and they wanted a bullet to be unstable, so on entry, it would tumble, causing more damage then a regular non-expanding bullet. I like...

    My new toy

    It's weird, Clocker, that it's so hard to find a really accurate 9mm. The major problem is usually trigger pull. Brownings are famous for being difficult to get a target trigger. Don't know about CZ's, but what I like about 1911's is so many parts are made for them, that if you need...

    Played with the G5 1.6 and 1.8 yesterday...

    I got to the point that I had spent 3 grand, or, actually, 5500 bucks on their machines, and the POS had crippled PCI bus, and, crippled ide channels, to the tune of half the industry standard, paying nearly twice as much. The dell I bought at the same time, with a 440 BX mobo, is still and 400...

    My new toy

    Clocker: I reloaded, in the 80's, for a number of VERY good shooters. One had a brand new sig 9mm. I remember loading the 115 hps at well over max book specs, trying to give the guy a real handful. Turns out, the rounds didn't even CYCLE his gun. I had to eat the entire batch, replace the...

    My new toy

    Clocker: The truth is, as cheap as 9mm is, it isn't worth reloading, and, when reloading, the damn bullets are too small for my big, fat fingers to easily seat. I might buy a Sig, or CZ 9mm, but just don't see a reason. I like big bullets, and 45 Super is my minimum caliber, other then 22lr...

    My new toy

    Clocker: Hate to say this, but I hate 9mm because I could never find one that shot as well as a Sig Sauer, BDA 45, or, a Detonics, or any, really good, 1911. Roomer has it that Sig 210's used to shoot, and the CZ 75 is supposed to be a great value, and accurate. I'd rather save for a...

    The English Computer paper that I can't spell, has pointed out the problem with the G5's is the os is 32 bit, running on a 64 bit processor. An emmulated OS? In other words, true to form, Apple released the computers without an OS that takes full advantage of the processor design. :roll...

    OK: Here's part of the video theory. Quartz Extreme is supposed to be a 3D os. Isn't it possible that the lack of video ram really cripples the OS impressions, and games on the mac? Native for those giant LCD's is 1900X or something like that. I was going to try lower resolutions, since in...

    It's kind of funny. They seem to work ok. Still, no blinding OS speed, it just doesn't feel like that much of a jump in speed. I wonder if the OS uses VM too much, slowing it down. I also wonder if with 8 gig of RAM the machine would be really fast. It could also be GPU limited, since both...

    Couple quick notes. Entrapment is what police do to criminals. It's when they give someone a chance to do a crime they are inclined to do anyway. Giving a non-drug user, or dealer, a chance to make 100 million dollars on a cocaine deal, when he was never previously involved is pretty much...
