We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Cheaper-Than-Dirt has Indian .308 ball on strippers and in bandoleers for $25 per 50rds, that's $10 per box of 20. Anyone know anything about the Indian stuff. It says it's non-cor and clean. Ya think?

I have gotten some Indian, and its not bad. Non-corrosive, and pretty clean. Would not use it in competition, other than that its good, IMO.

Just returned from Gander Mtn. with 100rds of Silver Bear .308, with tax it was $48.89 out the door. Can't believe I found that stuff there. Thanks for the Indian info. Tell me, as with the Garand, is it necessary to limit bullet weight to 150grs. or less to prevent damage to the op rod?

You can use 173 grain no problem, and the occasional use of 180grain. Much lighter than 140 and you may not get reliable extraction and feeding of the next round.

Thanks guys for the comments, I just scored a case of Aussie mil-surp at a great price. Being reloadable I will consider any favorite loads you guys use.
