    Tikka .308 painless method recommendations

    That load should shoot well. 130 ttsk has always shot well for me. I use it in my Tikka but you rifle may not like it In general I pick a bullet and load it with a mid level load of appropriate powder. It either will or will not shoot, you will know quickly. In my experience, no tweaking...

    .308 for Elk

    One more fan of the 308, but skip the target bullets and try a 130g TTSX or plain jane 165g interlock.

    22 suppressors

    This ∆ I have 2 Sparrows because I swap between so many hosts; the is no change in zero. IMHO, there is no great difference on rifles for any quality can. If you going exclusively pistols, the monocores will have more FRP.

    Alpha Munitions primer pockets too tight?

    I'm Sure the primers will go bang. I don't care the Alphas response. They should have sent you new brass. No way should primer pockets need lubed. Good luck.

    Alpha Munitions primer pockets too tight?

    Lubing primers...um no. I remember people freaking out about touching primers and worried their finger oils would cause detonation issues. Thanks for your post. I'll be sure to never order Alpha brass. Geeze.

    Alpha Munitions primer pockets too tight?

    Cci usually seat easiest in tight pockets; Fed is the worst in my experience. Maybe try running a primer pocket uniforming tool in a couple and/or lightly chamfering them.

    308 vs 300 BO...subsonic comparisons

    All things being equal (same can etc) will there be a significant difference in sound between a subsonic 308Win or 300 BO? I have experienced some powders that are louder in some loads; specifically AA5744. It's dirty, leaves unburnt kernels, and has a noticeable 'pop'. I want to add a CVA...

    Suppressor wait times

    Sico Scythe. Certified Saturday, approved Tuesday. Certifying is the longest part of the process now going through Silencershop. Awesome

    crimping

    I only crimp if the bullet moves out of the case under recoil...ie 44 mag pistols.

    How much does a suppressor limit felt recoil vs a standard muzzle break?

    I agree. I personally will take additional recoil over muzzle blast. Brakes suck.

    Priming Tool Comparison

    Hand primers work just fine (period). Takes maybe 10 mins to prime 100 cases and I'm in no hurry either.

    Priming Tool Comparison

    I still prefer the old hand held Lee auto prime for feeling a primer bottom out. Glad I didn't think these niche tools were required for good loads when I got started downloading...I probably wouldn't have started.

    High BC copper bullets?

    I guess I don't understand the BC calculations because copper bullets are all very long for weight compared to lead. The 6.5 127 LRX looks like a javelin but doesn't have an exceptional BC compared to some other bullets.

    Elk Bullets - LRX vs HHT

    Please elaborate. Accuracy, performance on game? I've used the 6.5 127g and .277 129g. Both are outstanding

    Elk Bullets - LRX vs HHT

    The LRX is the highest evolution of hunting bullets . Keep impact velocity above 1800 fps (in my testing) and worry more about having a sharp knife

    All new Burris Fullfield 2025

    I like Burris, but the lack of mounting space on that scope is a non-starter. I wish someone still made an affordable compact 4x. So useful for many uses and not having a telescope mounted to a trim rifle.

    Crossbow scopes

    I can't believe I'm recommending Vortex, but I am. I zero on the center at 20 yes the adjust the magnification until the next hash mark hits at 30 yds.

    SilencerCo Scythe STM... anyone put hands on?

    I ordered a Scythe last week. Not worried about it, but will not using it on anything bigger than a 19 inch 270 Win.

    SilencerCo Scythe STM... anyone put hands on?

    In general, multipurpose items generally aren't great at anything. If you want light, get the TI. If you want better suppression and durability, get the Omega or YHM R2.

    Left bolt, right eject conversion

    I understand a lefty wanting a lefty bolt, but why desire the case to eject into your face? Just make life simple, and inexpensive, and buy a lefty action.
