    Drop Test Pass/Fail

    I’d be willing to help you put it together. Only thing I would add is MSRP price. I realize that could get confusing, but it’s a big part of most peoples decision

    Drop Test Pass/Fail

    Is there a running list of tested scopes and whether they passed or failed? I’ve read through a lot of the evals, but I’m just talking about a list of what passed and failed? Would be really helpful when looking for new scopes.

    @BLJ: do you have a load for these bullets? I have a few but can’t find a load that makes me happy with them

    Cold bore zero versus (very) Hot bore zero “test”

    Glad I skimmed through all the bs, and didn’t ask this same question twice now… does this same concept hold true even for barrel burners? Concerned 7WSM owner asking here…

    WTT LPP for SPP 45acp Brass

    Looking for someone who would be interested in trading their small primer for my large primer 45 ACP brass. Would like to trade piece for piece. The brass I have is 1X fired mixed head stamp, but I could sort out decent sized (3-500ish) sized lots of Winchester or PMC brass if that would help…

    Dirty brass causing more consistent neck tension than clean? Not sure I’m buying it…

    Separating Walnut media from SS Pins

    Does someone have a simple recipe for this? Got a good deal on some 1X brass that had been “cleaned”. I would consider myself in the wet tumbling camp, so when I picked up the top handful-ish cases and saw primer pockets with room for improvement, I put them in the wet tumbler. At removal time...

    LeverEvolution in .223/5.56?

    Again, don’t have a chrono, but for the couple calibers that I have used them both, they seem to be very similar. They do seem to randomly trade places on which one is more accurate, so I definitely keep both around

    LeverEvolution in .223/5.56?

    Just did this. Landed on 25.2 with 77smks @ 2.26. That was the highest I could go without consistently raising burs from the ejector in an AR. No chrono, so can’t tell you the velocity

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Don’t know what his is, but if hiking is not a factor. You can build an ar to a very similar accuracy standard for the same amount of money (usually less) as a Tikka. Also, parts are cheaper and easier to find

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Kinda in the same boat, except I just built a 10.5 ar for a toy, now I’m going back through it for a compact hunting option

    124gr Speer Gold Dot Effective Velocity Range

    So ~1220 is the fastest published I’ve seen. Don’t go higher than that? Added: the 223 thread is what has me questioning around this. For a lot of other bullet types I can find published max and min velocities for expansion. I can’t seem to find that for this particular bullet.

    124gr Speer Gold Dot Effective Velocity Range

    So like the title says. I’m looking to information on what the effective velocity range of a 124gr, 9mm bullet. I have a small pile of them and I am looking to make a +p hand load.I really want to know what the top speed should be without loosing its effectiveness. I guess my immediate follow...
