    Meopta Optika6 3-18x50mm FFP Field Evaluation

    Listening to the podcast, I heard you mention this scope which caused me to look up the review. I have the exact same scope and reticle which really got my attention From a business perspective (my area of expertise) I doubt the scope company's care what kind of reticle a consumer actually...

    280 AI - Light & Fast Loads

    I do not expect to take any LR shots (greater than 400yds) at game anytime soon. Consequently, I do not feel the need for a high BC heavy for caliber bullets. Has anyone used a non copper lightweight (<140g) to take medium (deer sized game) with success? I don't want to use a varmint bullet.

    Pistol Cans

    I hate my handgun can (Griffen) because it is so large as to make the pistol hard to control.

    Suppressed 6 Cal recommendation for small framed shooter and spotting shots.

    Gas guns cannot safely generate the velocities that bolt guns can. The difference is about 2-300fps.

    Suppressed 6 Cal recommendation for small framed shooter and spotting shots.

    This is the answer for handloaders who use bolt gun data rather. This is the gun I am building for my kids. I cut down my 6ARC target rifle barrel to 18" and put it in a light stock. Next up, swap out the rail for Talley Rings and mount a lightweight scope. The thread protector needs to be...

    Silencerco Harvester Evo feedback

    I have the EVO. The last time I went to the range, I shot 40 full bore 280AI (20" barrel) loads. (1) The recoil mitigation was excellent. I could have shot 40 more without any problem. (2) I do not have any way to objectively test sound suppression but all the range employees came out to...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I am a truly terrible carpenter and haven't used a router in 30 years but I gave it a shot and flushed mounted an Inline Fabrication plate on my bench. I also plugged up a couple of holes. Hopefully, I can get the bench sanded, primed and repainted by the end of summer. It is ugly, but it...

    Tikka T3X Roughtech/Veil Questions

    The Roughtech has a blue carbon barrel and action. I like mine, but should have upgraded to a Stainless cerakoted version.

    Ballistically Challenged Newbie Looking a new purchase

    I have a 270 and a 280AI. I like them both, but acknowledge they are essentially equal. 1) Anyone who doesn't reload should avaoid the 280AI like the plague. There is not and probably never be a reliable supply of different factory loads. 2) Go to any ammo seller and there won't be many...

    Weatherby is circling the toilet bowl

    In the real world, I don't see the 7PRC as an upgrade over my 280 AI.

    Carbon Wrapped Barrel Pecking Order?

    Because I have hearing issues, I only shoot suppressed. Consequently, I cannot use the really light contours. - Some of barrel sellers want me to use their Heavy Sporter Contour if I want it threaded for a suppressor. I have two 2” heavy sporter barrels and they aren't really light and they...

    Carbon Wrapped Barrel Pecking Order?

    What peaked my interest was a look at X-Caliber barrel's website. Their CF barrels are less than I expected.

    Carbon Wrapped Barrel Pecking Order?

    If one was looking to buy a carbon wrapped barrel, is there some sort of tier/cost pecking order I should be considering when I start looking at a new build. My wife and I drive a Toyota and an Accord if that gives you an idea of what tier products I typically look for. Even if I had the cash...

    280 ai or 7mm prc.

    I am getting the same velocity with my 280AI using a 20" barrel. I haven't really pushed it though.
