Sent testimony on all 5 bills (again). Our legislators interpret a lack of testimony from us as "we're okay with it".  It only takes a few minutes to send testimony. Let's send them a clear message that we don't want these bills.

Testimony submitted

When I first read about this lawsuit a few years ago, I never dreamt this day would come so soon. I can't thank you guys enough.

I would bring cardboard about 20" wide by 36" tall. Maybe slightly bigger to be safe. You can bring your own target stands if you want, but it's not necessary. I have my own stands and bases but just use the ones provided.

Cause they are not very specific like Butler Creek. One of my scopes says objective is 50mm. Butler Creek has 49.8 and 50.7. Which one is it? They also don't list the eye piece size.

Gotcha, I see what you're saying. My scope had a manual that listed all the dimensions of the scope, including the outside dimensions of the objective bell and eyepiece so I just went with that. But it sounds like you have access to a caliper so that's the way to go.

Go a day early if you can. If you're unfamiliar with the island, that's the best advice I can give. If you do get there a day early, go straight to the DLNR office in Lanai City and get your tags. Then hit the range (outside Lanai City, on the way to Manele) and sight in. Then spend the rest of day checking out the different areas.There's 2 Units, but they cover about half of the island. Drive around and get familiar with the island. Decide on a plan and what areas you want to hunt beforehand. You don't want to be driving around in the dark at 6:00 am not knowing where to go. Plus a lot of guys will be out there too so don't just pick one spot, come up with numerous ones in case someone gets there before you do. If you need food supplies, go to the stores before 7:00 pm because by the time they open the next day you should be out in the field already.

Find a spot with good visibility. If at all possible, my brother and I will sit facing opposite directions and he'll cover 180 degrees and I'll cover the other 180 degrees. Wait, glass, and hope you see something. Assume the game can see better than you can and keep movement to a minimum. Once someone fires a shot within a mile of you, the game scatters and that area is done for at least a few hours. So make your shot count. When they scatter, they run until they're over the horizon. So other hunting groups are continually pushing the game towards each other all day long. So be patient, you never know when a herd might be coming your way. Around mid-day the game is bedding down. So eat lunch, go back to town, or take a nap in field. Start hunting again around 3:00 or 4:00. And most importantly, have fun. They lower your expectations are, the more fun you'll have.

Expect to see lots of deer and no mouflon in mouflon season, and lots of mouflon and no deer in deer season. 

RKBA: Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

The primary reason I follow this site is to keep on top of legislation at the State level. So I figured I'd match my screen name with my purpose on being here.

I know you said "good website" but I got my last few Glock mags off of ebay. I got them in 3 days or so. I just used "buy it now" instead of bidding on them and bought it from a seller with a really good rating. It was around $35 with shipping which isn't too bad considering I couldn't find them anywhere else. I searched high and low but none of the normal places I shop had any (Midway, Brownells, AIM, CDNN, Glockparts, my local stores, etc...). The extra $5 or so was worth it for me.

Do you guys notice if one thing effects your results more than another besides bullet and powder weights?  Does different light/heavy crimps, different primers, OAL make more of a difference than another?

For me I only get super anal with precision rounds in .308. I don't know anyone who crimps precision rounds and haven't noticed any measurable difference by switching primers. Adjusting overall length improves my groups, but not by much. To be honest if I were loading .300 blackout for an AR, I wouldn't worry about how much of a difference the crimp or primers would make. And be careful with adjusting the overall length because you're limited by the internal dimensions of the magazine. You can play around with those things and that's the fun of reloading, but don't be surprised if there is barely any improvement, or none at all. With a bolt action you have more leeway in my opinion, but when you're firing it in a semi-auto you have to balance accuracy with reliable feeding.

Of course my comments are limited to my own experiences.

Dry tumble. After the range I tumble with walnut to get them clean, and then tumble in corn cob and polish to get them nice and shiny.

I'm amazed at how nice cases come out with wet tumbling and how it cleans the primer pockets.  But I'm on the fence on whether it's worth the extra work and initial cost for something that's mostly cosmetic.
