    From Michigan I drive 3 hours north and hunt public land. I do it to use my 30-06 and to give them the finger. How smart is it to have a guy on public land with a 30-06. I do however know the area I hunt very well. My grandparents lived two plots down for years that's where I spent a lot of time.

    I just read your article about them on ChuckHawks - I noticed you mentioned in the beginning of it that they typically manufacture toy/replica guns. I learned my lesson the hard way to not purchase an actual firearm from toy gun manufacturers. I bought a Walther WMP a few months ago (made by Umarex NOT Walther), and it has been an absolute disaster. The only gun I have ever truly regretted buying and have had non stop issues with.

    Awesome review and thanks for bringing up the point about the 30-30. I would bet they got paid to create the straight wall cartridge designations and are paid to keep it that way. A lot of corporate/government money in it. I think these straight wall ar15 cartridges that headspace off the case mouth are downright dangerous. If the mouth is crimped too much, it could possibly enter the rifling and get pinched causing a massive grenade style pressure spike. I'm pretty sure i had that happen years ago on a 45 acp case... 20,000 psi didn't do anything but wreck the mag follower and scratch my forearm up... 50,000 psi or whatever those rifle cartridges are is going to be a different story.

    • @RandyWakeman
      @RandyWakeman Před 22 dny

      The problem, at the moment, with the 400 Legend is that only two hunting loads are available-- and only one has any published ballistics. Whatever your rifle is, if it doesn't like one of those two loads, you are out of luck. The 350 Legend has well over 20 loads readily available.
