      6.5 Grendel / 6.8 SPC, 20 Years, Where Are They Now?

      I personally think any cartridge relying on .257 or .277 bullets it basically dead in the water. There’s simply not enough reason to prefer them over a mere 0.007” jump up to the .264 or .284 and the VASTLY better bullet selection in those calibers. Think about it, if we exclude the 257 and...

      Thinking about getting out of .22 WMR

      Since I’ve successfully downloaded 223 with pistol powder to surprisingly low levels (barely over 22LR) I’m going to say that there is no practical role *for me* that 22WMR would ever fill. IMO, it suffers from “tweener” syndrome. It’s the same reason every tool I buy now is either the...

      Now Academy is at it......

      That’s actually from a CA law that was passed.

      Precision/Sniper Rifle Show and Tell

      New Bartlein on the 6.5. It’s a 28” heavy Palma, 1.25” at the breech with special BugNut. 7.5tw for the 150smks and anything they come out with next.

      New Barrel from Savage 12 FV: Criterion vs Shilen

      I don’t disagree, but I’d still consider the Criterion in .308 because the offer several different reamer specs in .308. The m118lr is appealing to me as it’s built around 175smks.

      Precision/Sniper Rifle Show and Tell

      I went with Varmint because it’s only .223. 26” 7tw for heavy bullets. The accuracy so far has been pretty solid. It’s not that it shoots amazing tiny bugholes, it’s that it never shoots badly. I shot an entire 50rd box of Geco 55fmj into 2” at 100y. The borescope does show some bore flaws I...

      SAC bushings for bushing dies— a short review

      Short Action Customs has a novel design for its bushings that it claims will prevent the common concentricity problems associated with bushing dies. I’ve seen independent testing on YT confirm the low concentricity. I took delivery of a SAC bushing today and the quality is superb. Near mirror...

      Cloning MK262 the quest (kinda)

      7.5s are super accurate primers but the cups might be a bit soft for pushing pressure to mk262 levels. 7.5 for me will crater much sooner than 450s or 41s. I don’t use 7.5s for hot AR loads. If you want to clone mk262 and you’ve watched the JRB series, then you know very few powders can get...

      Cloning MK262 the quest (kinda)

      I run 23.6 of 8208 under an 80 ELD in my 5.56 chamber. Not mag length OBV but probably similar pressure as a mag length 77? Maybe less.

      Ar bolt sticking forward

      You can see the difference pretty drastically if you take a gauge pin of 0.200 diameter and stick it in the die and see how far in it goes. If the chamber will swallow factory ammo (all of it) then it’s not too tight. You just need a bit more sizing. There’s an argument to make that if you need...

      Pin and weld suppressor to 11.5" AR? Opinions needed

      This is my thinking too.

      SHTF rifle iron sights. Magpul mbus gen 2 durability? Bobro lowriders?

      As you saw in the instructions, when each click is set for a 15” radius, the actual click is just proportional. 15”/(actual radius)= rated click value/(actual click value). Personally my radius is slightly longer but I’m zeroed at 50 and won’t be adjusting these since it’s specifically a 0-200y...

      SHTF rifle iron sights. Magpul mbus gen 2 durability? Bobro lowriders?

      I like the clicks being set up for 15” sight radius. As this is a short range build, no problem getting an excellent zero for 0-200y. Light, strong, and look good. I cried once.

      SHTF rifle iron sights. Magpul mbus gen 2 durability? Bobro lowriders?

      I did Scalars on my Kenosha build. Not backups— they are primary. Superb quality.

      If you’ve chosen not to take a Covid vaccine for whatever reason(s), it may be wise to reassess occasionally.

      That’s what they say now. Not what they told us before. And it comes out now that three months after a recent boost, current vax has basically zero effect on even reducing severity and hospitalization rate. (Sorry source not handy.) it’s endemic now, and never going away. We released something...
