Mattitude: 5.7 is win — I think Winchester was contracted then Fiocchi came on board. I have heard rumors for a while (over on the fiveseven board) that Wolf was going to try their hand with the 5.7 round. Rhineland Arms had the AR57 in the works for almost 2 years and I believe that they had another 5.7 caliber rifle...don't remember if it was a bolt gun or not but it did look good. I do have some empty brass if…

Mattitude: 5.7 is win — " That's a lot of hostility to load on a lovable little caliber Mat, I've run hundreds of rounds through my PS90 and think the only thing neater might be the same cartridge in a nicely made bolt gun. -tom-the-impaler" Tom, I've done my fair share loading the 5.7 and I have experienced some of the pitfalls with this cartridge. The laquered cases is a big one as once it is removed enough it causes…

One of the things I like about the Masada/ACR is that it doesn't ape any other weapon system... it's actually engineered from the ground up - improving everything. Switching…

Xsquidgator: Practice for defense (CCW) and for competition (IDPA) — " Basic marksmanship firt and foremost. Reloads second. After that, then speed. -madogre" Right, forgot about the reloads. My IDPA partner had us practicing that, doing what I believe is called "El Presidente" with 3 targets, gun and all mags loaded with 2 rounds each. Engage T1 through T3 with 2 shots each from not very far away. I feel the best thing I get out of it after marksmanship…

Xsquidgator: 41 for Freedom — " Well, one more little sort-of gun related thing to mention from the USS Francis Scott Key... the Trident-I (C4) missile/weapons system, which was the Key's main battery. If you're a good shooter, you can shoot maybe 1 MOA or so perhaps with a rifle? I'm not all that good with a rifle, but I can do maybe 1MOA with my rifle and a bipod at 100 yards. 1 MOA ~ 1 inch at 100 yards. Certainly good…
