    But, how did you delete your post COMPLETELY?

    Like I said, we can delete the content, but not the complete entry.

    I believe you can delete your post if you are the last post on that thread, but as soon as someone else posts you can't delete it. I could be wrong.

    Hmmm.
    I've dug through some user settings and haven't found anything conclusive. But I've got a hunch.

    Sometimes that's the best way to do things. Remember how many AR uppers people made back when 7.62x25 ammo was dirt cheap? Building a rifle for otherwise useless ammo just because the ammo is cheap is working backwards but, for a couple of years when other ammo was missing or high-priced, those were the guys out shooting and having fun.

    Of course, those uppers are now worth essentially nothing but if someone was smart enough to buy a pallet of ammo at the time, they'll be on the range for a long time to come.

    I once placed an order with a New Jersey High Power rifle supplier for ammo. They had gotten Wolf to do a production run that used Hornady 75-grain match bullets. At the time, the delivered price was just a touch under $0.09/round, iirc. The ammo was running sub-MOA in any decent gun. I didn't have a .223 but I was going to build a pistol just to shoot the stuff because it would have been an easy way for me to return to match shooting.

    Unfortunately, the ammo was all recalled before I could get any but the point remains - sometimes you get a good buy on one part of a system and you just work from there to fill in the blanks.

    Ben, what decade was this in :-p

    Aren't you kind of going about this backwards? Starting with the glass, then picking the rifle to put it on, then picking the distance to shoot... not a normal way to go about things to say the least.

    I beg to differ, I found an AR takedown pin spring on my shop floor and built a rifle around it, can't let good parts go to waste. I mean I had to build another one, what else was I gonna do with spare parts? :cool:
