The Golden Age returns: this week, Trail Boss powder returned to the US market, with MidwayUSA selling out nearly instantly.Also, Handloading General? Do the people here even handload for the guns they don't own (because /k/ is a [current thing] board now)?

>>64267570Well, I guess its time you load up some trailboss
>>64267570…. Might consider getting one of those cam action bullet pullers….
>>64251003But I like just filling cases to the opening and seating a bullet. It makes reloading so simple.

Here's your safety bro. It's a 2mm piece of potmetal cobbled together in a sweat shop by a drunk Indian peasant. Good luck.
>>64263973>Is the p365 the same system as the p320no, pic related is the MCARBO titanium striker with stainless steel sleeve I have waiting for my Flux Raider 365 build>Ive owned a 365 for years and it never occurred to me that there was any issuehave you never taken apart your gun to clean it? how do you not know what the striker looks like>I have never heard of any 365s going off for no reason.its a bunch of noguns who are complaining about the 320
>>64264002>I fart in your gener-ACK
>>64263973P320 came first, and is a P250 converted to striker fire - P365 was a ground up design and is decent enough....to get mogged by the G43X
>>64264034>only nogunz are laughing at the fact that sneezing near a P320 is cause enough for the shitty striker "safety" to shift and make the gun fire uncommandedPowerful cope.>>64264948>P365 was a ground up design and is decent enough....to get mogged by the G43XKek true enough. Fired both, only carried one (P365, for around 3 months). It was a joy to carry, and a pain in the ass to shoot. Can't shoot it with gloves practically at all, cuz the trigger guard's even SMALLER than the Glock. Anything other than soft-loaded 115gr is a headache to try and control- forget feeding it anything that might actually be defensively useful. I guess 17 ounces isn't the flex everyone thinks it is. Oh! And reloading SUCKS. I have small hands and STILL pinched myself every time, unless I was practicallyletting go of the fucker (which you don't ever actually want to do so I stopped trying that). What's the point in an autoloader if you can't effectively load in a fresh mag without it getting caught up in your palm flesh? Between the P365 and the Hellcat, I'm convinced that micro-compacts are for women or people with underdeveloped bodies who don't want to carry a G26. It's memes. Just carry a G19 or some shit, stop trying to meta out a gunfight. Even Fairbairn advocated for a .32/.380 pocket carry.
>>64263689Even Saars dont like Sig>>64263973Funny enough Sig tacitly admitted their safety lever is shit when they changed the p365 safety lever to be a simple glock style plunger
>>64248808>>64248788Guns are effectively illegal for private ownership in Nipland. That's why an average Nip doesn't know shit about real guns, and autistic gun/military otakus look like they are experts in the subject when they are explaining basic functionality and principles of firearms
>>64265083As I recall, Japanese citizens are able to legally purchase and own a very limited selection firearms for hunting or recreational purposes. They're also subject to a lengthy procurement process, licensing, and constant renewal of said license.It seems like one's ability to own even a wildly outdated firearm in Japan could be overruled or outright revoked at any time for any reason. This is the same country that will give you immense amounts of shit for having a pocket knife or skateboarding despite both being legal after all.
>>64263212It's a very good pistol by 70's standards though

Would the Air Force have really shot down those planes if their response hadn't been so completely half-assed?
>>64264823nta and not knowledgeable about aircaft, but i suppose you could belly-ram the wing or something, then bail
>>64258963The RAF of course have a smaller area to cover and have memories of Lockerbie
>>64251861why is that F-16 carrying 2 AIM-7s and 2 AIM-120s when it could be carrying 4 AIM-120s?

>>64264993cool
I want a fighting rifle in a good cartridge. Here are my criteria:Ammunition:>capable of being used out to 500 yards>proven track record of effectiveness on target>common enough to reliably find in a gun store>intermediate cartridgeRifle>chambered in cartridge of choice without feed/durability issues>can hit a man-sized target to 500 yards reliably>relatively common parts>ergonomic/modern amenities like rails, detachable magazine, etcThe ammunition I considered was 7.62x39, 5.56, .308, and .300 BLK. I ended up going with 7.62x39 because I felt it ticked the boxes best. Because of that, I went with an AK-103 because I felt that handled 7.62x39 the best while also ticking the other boxes. The downside is, AKs really kind of suck to use. They're better than many options, but the AR-15 is kind of the gold standard for ergonomics, especially when you look at optics, light mounting, etc. In hindsight, I probably should have gotten an AR-10 as they're more accurate, have better range, better ergonomics, at cost of more recoil and more expensive ammunition, but I live in a ban state so I can't buy one. I do have an AR-15 and AK though. Recently I was talking to someone about .300 blackout and mentioned that it's not very good over 200 yards, and was told that .300 blackout is accurate out to 400 with the right setup (barrel length, twist rate, an optic with magnification, competent shooter). Is this true? .300 blackout seems like a great round with the exception of range, and since I'm not concerned about using a rifle for CQB nor using a suppressor it seemed like .300 would have been a bad choice, but if it's as effective as 7.62x39 but can be used in guns with much better ergonomics then I'd consider switching to it. Can .300 blk be used accurately between 300 and 500 yards?
>>64267186Both 300 BLK and 7.62x39mm can reach out to 500yd, but suck at it. By the time they get there they are losing a lot of velocity and rainbow arcing in. Accuracy is also really sketchy.5.56 out of a ~18-20" barrel shoots much flatter and can get hits at 500 much more easily, but is also losing a ton of energy because it's performance is highly dependent on having enough velocity to fragment on impact. Otherwise it just icepicks .22" diameter holes, but specialized (expensive) ammunition can help in this department..308 can easily reach 500yd and wreck shit when it gets there, but you are trading a lot in the bargain. Weight, balance, magazine capacity, ammunition weight, recoil, flash. Tons of little things that will put it behind the curve at short ranges.Battle rifles are fun, but they are kind of a meme. They shine more in a DMR role where the extra range is desired.For 100-300yd 5.56mm shines and 7.62x39/300blk are merely adequate. There are no free lunches and every choice comes with trade-offs. You should pragmatically assess what you need your rifle to do and what of those characteristics are more or less important. Realistically 300yd is already more than the distance at which you would spot and engage a hostile target while trying to stay in cover and return fire, so it makes sense that modern small arms doctrine has been moving towards shorter/lighter rifles that are only useful at shorter ranges. When more range is needed, that is where a GPMG or DMR are useful.
>>642671869mm if you want quiet short range (100m max)556 if you want loud long range (500m+)300 if you want something in the middle (300m max)
>>64267186>500ydUnironically 6.5cm or handloaded 5.56
>>6426718655gr 5.56 from 20in barrel or 175gr 7.62 real fuckin nato from 14in or better. This problem has been solved for nearly 75 years now.
I think NAA finally made a revolver that I'd buy. What do y'all think?
>>64264613They’re not any better, and the Anaconda has a better DA and SA, in fact I prefer Redhawks for shooting over S&Ws, they’re just nice to look at, but again, the Anaconda has nicer finishing.
>>64266205You're smoking rocks if you think colts have smoother actions than smiths
>>64266672NTA, but Colt's King Cobra, Python, and Anaconda line were much nicer than their Grizzly and Kodiak line. Colt used to be a great company before they decided to focus on MIL/LEO contracts and suffered multiple bankruptcies because of it (governments give companies huge contracts but never pay in a timely manner). After the bankruptcies, there was a drop in QA and QC, and that's how we got the shitty Colt.
>>64264613It’s a S&W Model 29-2, arguably the -1 and -2 are the most sought after. The first Model 29 had some issues with the frames cracking after a while and the -2 was the last model with the pinned barrel and recessed cylinder. I wouldn’t mind an Anaconda either but I got this specific Model 29 because at the time I was absolutely infatuated with Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver and Travis (Robert De Niro) used a Model 29 with the same 8 3/8” barrel. You have no idea how excited I was when I saw this at the gun store I frequent, absolutely one of my favorite purchases.
>>64266672Smith and Wessons are nothing to write home about, just take pictures of, really all they’re good for.

>>64266668The most realistic scenario would be for the bullet to get stuck between the shell and the barrel, creating an obstacle and causing a barrel burst.
