    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Listened to the Q&A podcast today and Form does address hit rates with magnums vs 22/6mm. It is a difference that can be measured. I am rethinking my deer loads for this year. Going to a much smaller weight bullet as I can’t go down in caliber, I have used that bullet successfully in a...

    If limited to copper bullets, what is optimal weight by caliber?

    Unfortunately they don’t offer 25 cal, 7mm or 35 cal which is what I am using.

    If limited to copper bullets, what is optimal weight by caliber?

    I am building a fast twist 25-06. 80g ttsx at 3700+ or 135g eldm at 2900. Interesting that recoil is about the same for both.

    If limited to copper bullets, what is optimal weight by caliber?

    I have read parts of all the smaller caliber match bullet threads and am on board with the concept. Also listened to form on the podcast discussing the same concept. The question is, what to do for states that ban lead bullets? Go light for caliber and really fast? Go heavy for caliber and...

    Suppressor causing chamber condensation

    Don’t have an answer, but combustion does produce water. I could see that you are trapping combustion gasses and they have moisture. Then it’s not hot enough to keep it vapor. Like what happens in car exhaust when you start up. Exhaust gas has water in it, but the exhaust is cold so it...

    Suppressors

    The A-10 30 cal is a hub mount 7 baffle version for under 500. I have one in jail to put on a 22 cal AR. Not as light as a Ti raptor, but half the money.

    Rimfire Suppressor

    It was still louder than I expected based on other cans on center fires. I found data where someone tested that can at 127 db with 17 hmr. I need to try it on a 22lr and see how it compares. I expect the 17 hmr needs a bigger can to really be quiet.

    Rimfire Suppressor

    I have a nyx mod2. Have only used it on 17 hmr so far. It’s tiny and light. Not Hollywood quiet on the hmr, but I expect that’s due to the size. Need to try it on a regular 22 lr.

    Q Trash Panda

    I think there is a lot of truth to volume = quieter. I recently got to try out a few of my new cans and bigger is quieter. I was a bit disappointed in how loud 17 hmr was with a nyx mod 2, but then it’s a really small can designed for rimfire 22. I think my AB 10 stack was quieter on a 358 jdj.

    Altitude sickness question

    If going uphill for a while and at higher altitude, the “rest” step is the trick. Used by mountain climbers you straighten your leg at each step. This causes a slight pause and you walk slower but don’t get out of breath. Also sharp exhale on each breath helps.

    Caliber Specific End Cap

    This. AB suppressors has some videos that show real data. Less than 2db difference using the smaller endcap on a larger bore vs a dedicated bore. Less than 4 db using the larger 30 cal on a 223.

    Altitude sickness question

    Having lived at 7400 ft for 20+ years, it’s not always predictable on what happens. Sometimes it’s fine, the next time it might not be. Everyone gets out of breath, the difference is how fast you recover. If you are in good shape it’s less of an issue. I talked to one doctor who said part...

    Unheard Voices

    This is true of the whole country. Cities are blue, rural is red. Cities have so many more people they control the politics. Illinois and California are two other examples. This is why there is an electoral college at the federal level, If it didn’t exist the big states on the coasts would...

    Alec Baldwin shooting

    My understanding is no. The actor should get the gun from the armorer who has reviewed it to be ready for whatever camera shot is taking place. Ie blanks, hero shot, etc. The condition of the gun falls on the armorer. Then after the camera shots the gun goes right back to the armorer. This...

    First suppressor. Do everything.

    I think it’s not reasonable to do pistol and rifle with a single can. I have banish 46 and a jk armaments 155. Both 45 cal cans. Both rated for a 45-70 rifle. The Banish is a rifle can, long, big diameter and heavy (22oz). The JK is a pistol can (9.5 oz) rated to be used on a 45-70. Not...

    AB Raptor 2 supressor?

    I would guess that the 2 stack is hardly a silencer. I have a 10 stack and it’s pretty quiet on my 35 cal rifles. I probably should have got an 8 stack, but instead got a 7 stack A-10 in Stainless as it’s cheap 450 ish. A within an oz of the 8 stack and half the $$. The A-10 223 is a 5...

    Suppressor wait times

    I believe the ruling for sharing and not on a trust is can’t be out of your control. Is that a big deal, maybe depending on how you hunt. Same with how you store it. If wife can access the safe, that’s not ok if it’s an individual. Would it ever be enforced, probably not, but I don’t want to...

    Bulk shotgun shells

    Sportsmans warehouse used to give a 10% off if you bought a flat. Could get a flat for $54. Always liked 1 oz at 1080 for a factory load. Now I load my own and run 7/8 at 1250.

    Down vs Synthetic Sleeping Bags

    I am a down fan. Pack small and light yet are warm. Something different about how warm it is vs synthetic. Not that synthetics don’t work, but down is just better. My wife finally wore out the bag we got 25 years ago. 1-2 bike trips per year so somewhere over 100 nights. Store them in the...

    9 months, should I just buy another suppressor?

    You can also cancel a submission and resubmit, but if it’s already in queue, why? If you are 9 months, you have an issue on a background check. You can confirm this by calling the atf and asking about the status. It will either be one of two stages, waiting on background check or in process...
