    Weekend last.
    Other than that, it should run like a top. Something was going on there, and I'm wondering if you had it loaded down real bad?
    Once again no offence taken here. That rifle was taken out for the first time in a couple of years, the barrel was checked for obstruction. There has been less than 100 rounds fired out of it in its lifetime, it's still pretty tight to say the least, ie not broken in. It was dry as a bone also, yes I know any M1 gun needs lube. There was two failure to eject in 12 rounds. The load was 43.5 grains of varget behind a sierra 168 MK, I wouldn't call that a underload. The rifle just needs a good cleaning, lubing, and have the poop shot out of it. It should get better with age and some wear.

    I thought the PF were a prohibited species in the 'show me' state. Had a couple show up on the lawn across the street but it's the mayor's yard, can't even paintball them.
    Whatever!

    They brought those dang things over from China, and then when people got tired of them, they just turned 'em loose and now they are everywhere!

    Glad you got rid of a couple of 'em!

    All I can think about is high velocity plastic shards.

    Funny video though.

    Ebner, you're lucky you're not dead. When hunting game like this target selection is important. You instinctively shot the closer bird thinking it was the more dangerous of the last two. But as you found out, when you dust one close, you lose sight of the one behind. That's the one that always gets you. Shoot smart or the flamingos will get the last laugh.

    And Tim, I have lust in my heart for a .358 M1A now...
