INGO NFA Day Q&A Thread

[ATM]

...Your OP [strike]made it sound like[/strike] tried to TRICK ME INTO BELIEVING that 500 rounds would let you shoot 33 times...

Type what you really mean.

I will re-size his original fonts so others aren't confused by the maths.

I would think 500 rounds of each caliber would be plenty. If you shot 30 round magazines, that would allow you to shoot 33 times...

Depends on what the meaning of "each" is.

And here I was so impressed at my math skills, that I forgot words mean things.

And doesn't your
Job involve words?

My wife invited herself and wants to make a weekend trip out of it (anniversary). Any way she can be at the shoot?.. else she'll go to Bloomington and spend all of my money.

I realize the space/numbers constraint and won't be butt-hurt if the answer's no.

 

[Ol' Wiley]

No takers on my question? Should I start saving now for the wife to go to the malls all day?

She might not make the potato casserole if she can't be there.
I told you I wouldn't be butt hurt.... never said she wouldn't be. /purple

I'm afraid we're going to have to decline your request at this time. Sorry for not getting back to you on this sooner.

Bye-bye potato casserole. We barely knew ye.

 

[Ol' Wiley]

No problem. Just happy I'm lucky enough to attend; thanks for that.
I still plan on bringing the potato casserole, so don't you worry shooter.

But I'm blaming you guys if she uses this as more ammo for me to buy her the couches she wants. Hah!

Would I look like a nerd if I show up with a notebook, and took notes? If so, nobody make fun!

Notebook - OK

Slide rule - nerd

It's not so much a "notebook" as it is a "shopping list". GTG.

 

[Sweetums]

Notebook - OK

Slide rule - nerd

So... Whats a slide rule?

 

[esrice]

Where is the NFA day held?

Brown County.

What kind of .22lr would be acceptable?

What kind of .22lr would be acceptable?

Subsonic would be best for the suppressed stuff, and probably high-velocity ammo with washed/plated bullets for the MGs (though they should run about anything).

Any preferred brands?

The vendors have not made any preferences known. No reloads. I think a lot of the guys shot Win/Rem/Fed bulk pack stuff in years past.

That's what I wanted to hear, so I can go cheap if I have to then, lol

Thanks!

Like I said before, I may not be able to afford a ton of ammo, but this event will be fun just to SPECTATE let alone participate.

 

[VUPDblue]

Federal Bulk from WW seems to be consistently the most reliable.

 

[MontereyC6]

I'm still debating on how much ammo to bring. So far I've set aside 500 rounds of .223, 500 rounds of 9mm, and 100 rounds of 7 1/2 shot 12 gauge, and 550 rounds of .22. I will pick up some .45 to try out VUPDBlue's suppressor. Do you veterans think that's enough of those calibers? I need to try and find some 5.7 over the next couple of days. UGH, so much to shoot and not enough time!

 

[VUPDblue]

I think you'll be sufficiently outfitted there. I would suggest you pick up some 00buck and slugs for the shorties. I also suggest you find some 147gr 9mm to run through the cans. Don't forget .22lr too!
