    WTT Hawkins Ultralight Tactical 30mm low

    I guess I would sell, but don’t honestly know what’s fair. Prefer to trade since it looks like it’s going to be roughly $180 for new. PM me and let me know what you’re thinking.

    .280 AI Powders

    I forgot to add…. I did end up getting some N555 and love it for the 6.5CM w/ 140s. Slightly… slower than H4350 and just not good for heavies in .280 AI. Pressured out a little over 2,800 with a 162 ELDM. Latest 168ABLR LOAD W/ R23 was 2,920.

    .280 AI Powders

    Yes, 7828 probably best. H1000 and R22 will be right in there too. R19 and H4350 are fine powders for .280/.280AI with 140s. I would not choose either for 162-168s, let alone 175-180. H4831 just flat works, but you’ll be 50+ slower than 7828, H1000, R22/23 most likely.

    .280 AI Powders

    I would trade my new, unopened R23 for 1# of R26. Otherwise, my suggestion is grab a pound of VV N565. I’m going to once I run out of other powders. I’ve been absolutely impressed with the N555. It’s the most consistent, tight shooting, low SD powder that I’ve tried in my 6.5 CM. That doesn’t...

    SRP vs LRP Creedmoor Brass - R16 vs H4350

    Welp, I gambled and bought 8# of N555. Got lucky because my 22” Criterion Palma loves it. Like, crazy stable. I did a pressure test over 2 grains in 0.3 increments and shot a nice group. Shot a 0.482” 5-shot with an extreme spread of 2 @ 43.0 gr @2,689. And that was consistent with several 3...

    Modifying grip on CF stock - Anyone know how?

    I have 2 Stocky’s VG2s. I generally like both stocks, but the distance to trigger pull is too dang long. I realize I could get creative and use something like JB Weld, but I care how it looks when it’s done. I don’t mind doing a textured finish over it to cover but would like the overall shape...

    SRP vs LRP Creedmoor Brass - R16 vs H4350

    Yeah, for sure. I have used H powders for years, but R16 and R23 have magic dust in them, so I bought some. The R16 is better than H4350 in my .280 AI w/ Absolute Hammers and the R23 seems to be a tick hotter than H4831sc. I like Alliant powders. I’m gonna try N555 as an alternative to H4350...

    SRP vs LRP Creedmoor Brass - R16 vs H4350

    I broke down and did a budget 6.5 Creedmoor build to have a common caliber handy. I’ve been resizing .308 brass and have had decent results - BR2s w/ H4350 and R16. The R16 has been giving me 0.9” 10-shot groups at 2750-ish. As is typically the case, the R16 has been 50+ fps faster. Fast-forward...

    2024 Scammer Alert

    Lamebee is the username that tried to get me. He took a screenshot of a scope I was looking for. I picked up on it immediately and I’m too stubborn to let it go, so I emailed him back about it. “They/Them/It” got indignant and told me he didn’t appreciate being accused. Then told me if it would...

    3-18x50 is the only one I’m interested in. Thanks.

    Bought a 3-18x50 when they were closing out w/ extra %15 off for $630. Really like the reticle, but some don’t so wondering if anyone wants to get rid of one. Wouldn’t mind having a second one. Thanks.

    .280 AI Powders

    Good info., thanks. I’ve gotten various opinions on the best VV powder (555, 560, or 565) for 160 class bullets for .280 AI. I’m getting ~2850 w/ R23 and 168 ABLR and ~2900 with 162 ELDM. May be that R23 is going to be about as good as I can do without going to R26.
