Oh yeah-I forgot a few things. One, I did get a little bit of useful info via my email correspondence with the factory tech from Lapua. He confirmed that the bullets in their subsonic loads are indeed seated deeper to compensate for the extra airspace inside the casing. I'd add-those guys are actually quite approachable. They don't mind talking to re-loaders at all, and while they cannot divulge any of Lapua's proprietary load recipes, they are all about answering questions and helping out where they can...so keep them in mind-they are a good resource.

Long heavy bullets that tumble will leave nasty large wounds on whatever you're hunting. :ohmy:

So...as I'm sure some have noticed, I've been absent for quite some time. That can be attributed to my son who will be two years old this month. A few months ago, he decided it would be fun to pick my laptop up over his head and then body slam it into the floor. It died on impact, and I still have not replaced it yet. There have been several interesting events in my life since then- some of them even pertinent to stuff we like to discuss here in this forum. However, I am typing this post on my Kindle Fire due to lack of a laptop, and it really sucks trying to do so when you have fingers the size of sausages like I do...someday in the near future, I will stop procrastinating, drive to Best Buy, and lay several hundreds of dollars onto the altar of new laptop sacrifice...and then I will be back...just wanted to pop in and give proof of life- I am still alive.

Save that hard drive.
It can be accessed with a cable, can even be installed into a case to make it a portable hard drive.
LOl on the body slam, not funny but funny. LOL
Good to see You is back.

Looks like it won't cycle most of our AR-10's though. I imagine you need an adjustable gas block for it.
I'm getting tempted to change my residency to one of the gun friendly southern states so I can get a supressor :drool:
All the neat stuff is totally forbidden in Iowa :angry:

That is an amazing price on any 30 cal ammo! I've been shelling out $45 a box here in MD for rounds.

For subsonic ammo I'd recommend having an adjustable gas block and shutting it off all together. Cycle manually so you can preserve your stealth.
