Here's your difference in bullet length as a function of weight:

You can test your ammo by chambering it and see if any rifling marks appear
on the bullet and see if the overall length of the round is reduced.

That Winchester warning only applies to heavier bullets because the ogive is
blunter and the bullet is longer.


Hosanna!

I have not experienced the phenom you mentioned thru the home
theater or the TVs speakers when not using the home theater.


Remember, this Sloco clown thinks a 4805 projector has a rainbow effect
problem!!!

From Home Theatre and High Fidelity-
"I was bothered by rainbows when watching DLP-based projectors that
were available a few years ago, but the 4805 uses of a six-segment
color wheel, and rainbows were really not an issue for me with this
projector. If you feel you may be sensitive to seeing rainbows (with
DLP-based projectors about 2% of viewers have this issue), check it out
before you buy."


Bwahahahahahahha! Way to stay current, MORON!

If he wears glasses he could very well be seeing a rainbow effect. The DLP
does give a slight effect, not usually noticeable by the eye and eyeglasses
can compound the problem.

Oh, I forgot to ask what better deterrent might be available under SHTF
conditions? SHTF conditions are no cops, no electricity, no
transportation, no nothing and roving bands of unafraid criminals are
coming. I'm not a gun nut so I'll truly listen.
My picks if I didn't care much about collateral damage:

1. flamethrower. Bit difficult to get hold of, tho.

2. pump action shotgun loaded with buckshot.

3. Any decent semiauto .308 loaded with 150 gr JHP

4. Any decent semiauto .223 loaded with 50gr JHP.

The 308 loaded with FMJ is going to go thru the bad guy, his buddy
behind him, the house behind *him* and maybe a few other items in the
way. With JHP or a nice Nosler solid base boat tail soft nose, the bad
guy is basically going to lose a limb with a hit there, or his chest is
gonna dissolve. PDW
You can make your own homemade flamethrower....you use a can of
hairspray...you have to be careful, though, because sometimes it backfires
and then....you're gone....

The beehive and rolling pin would make me run.


You should see waht I can do with a garlic press!

.... which makes it longer than an 18" barrelled shotgun. Good
choice.

How many times do I need to type "it's illegal" to own a sawed off
shotgun. At least in my state.


Yep, just what you need for home defence, optics.....

I'm not talking 9x scopes here. Red dot or holigraphic optics are
perfect for defense, home or otherwise, since you shoot with both eyes
open. Have you seen those. The military uses them every day. Your
trying to come off as an expert here but you continue to look
uneducated on the topic.

It is an undisputed fact that DLP projectors suffer from the rainbow
effect. The fact that the Boob "really doesn't have an issue" tells me
that he does see it. The current state of the art in PROJECTORS is
Sony's SXRD. And that in a front or rear projector.

That Winchester warning only applies to heavier bullets because the
ogive is
blunter and the bullet is longer.

That's only the Winchester statement. They are not the only ones who
speak on the topic. Read the SAAMI website. Anybody that tells you
there is no difference between a 223 and a 5.56 doesn't know what they
are talking about. Once again ...... SAAMI states that it is an unsafe
practice to shoot 5.56 in a gun that is only designes to shoot 223.
They are the experts.

Many experience the effect during head movement. Glasses or no
glasses.

I wear glasses, and so do many of my friends. No one has seen any
rainbow effects. The newer projectors have pretty much dialed it out. I
do remember seeing it 3 years ago though. Sloco is not aware of how
dated he is.
I urge anyone about to waste money on a convention set to try one of
these projectors. Many of my friends are buying them after seeing mine.
It's just amazing, especially the HD channels. When you consider that
the thing isn't even true HD, the image quality seems even more
impressive. I'll trade up the moment In Focus releases a HD version as
good as this.

snipped a bunch.

Long time ago, the story was that the U.S. military picked
.223 in preference to .308 so as to wound enemy soldiers
rather than kill. Not out of humanity but because that way 2
of the wounded guy's buddies carry him to the rear, so 3 bad
guys leave the fight. Another reason was so that wimpy U.S.
men could pack more bullets into the fight.

Actually, the story was that the M-16 (and the army version AR15?) was
significantly lighter and easier to field strip than the M-14 that it
replaced and all other potential replacements. That was the goal. I
was an armorer at the time and can attest to the fact that they were
right. Both could kill effectively but the M-16 was a lot easier to
carry.

Only problem was the initial production did poorly in the mud. Jammed
regularly. And the initial OJT proving ground was a mud hole. Troops
initially hated it for that reason.

If you have the room, the DLP projectors are the way to go.

Amen!
