I've been reading you folks for some time now and you seem like a pretty tight group. I'm hoping to observe the proper etiquette

    ABSOLUTELY no etiquette here!
    But we need a good firearmsconsultant to tell us how worthless the .223 is for anything larger than a rat, and maybe while you're at it you could explain why Remington keeps trying to improve upon the magic that is the 7mm Rem. Mag. What gives with that anyhow??

    It depends on the size of the RAT. I'm kind of partial to the 308 myself.

    The 7MM is one of those rounds that is good the way it is. You could improve it, but the time and effort would not justify the end product.
    How does one modify his profile?

    Welcome aboard, tfc. About the only etiquette is to keep the language to PG or so, refrain from socially incorrect speech and be tolerant of some folks' shortcomings . . . who they are & the sort of deficiencies they suffer will become apparent in time if your lurking has not already enabled you to identify them.

    TFC, Welcome to our group.

    Now for some advice, go easy on the big words. In your one sentence post, you used nine words that had five or more letters in them. Since most of our members are more fimiliar with four letter words, I suggest you cut down on the big ones if you expect anyone to read what you write, lol.

    DUH!

    Welcome again.......

    Welcome!
    308,,eh?? Isn't that the necked down, powder starved, short to MAYBE mid-range, wannabee round that wants to be a 30-06 when it grows up? It's a good home defense round,,no worrys about it going through even the thinnist walls. Definately it's not the concrete blasting, super devastating 762/39 sniper round!

    Hi Guy, I'm from Canada and was very surprised you are worried about etiquette. Nobody can see you unless you post a picture and I'm sure the guys won't hold it against you. It's up to you how you want to look but hey to each there own. How long have you worn an etiquette? I know recent movies have made it popular again but I wouldn't wear one especially if I was going to jail again. Good luck and welcome to the board. Oh yea, in Quebec land of the French, etiquette is a type of haircut. I think you refer to it as a "mullet"(Joe Dirt Special) south of the border. LOL Just pulling your leg.

    Proper Etiquette is making your paragraph length short enough so you don't need to move the mouse all over creation to read the responses.

    Welocme consultant. What is a .20-caliber? Hmmm...read it here somewhere and don't know if the journalist made a misque or the guy who traded it for some Kmart loafers really traded in a prototype.

    What is .20 caliber? It's what passes for journalism when the subject is firearms.
