    Silencerco Scythe TI review

    Thanks. Mine should be here shortly after Xmas, but I haven’t cut/threaded the Swede yet (I was debating the length when this thread blew up, leaning 20” now), so it’ll be a bit before I have enough rounds down the pipe. I’ll keep this thread updated too. I bought the Scythe based on the...

    Considering downsizing to 6 cm from 7 PRC

    from the intro, paragraph 1: Introduction Ballistic gelatin, hereafter referred to as gelatin, is often used as a simulant for studying impact damage in soft biological tissues (Maiden, 2009, Nicholas and Welsch, 2004). Gelatin, a protein derived from either skin or bone (Kneubuehl, 2011), is...

    Silencerco Scythe TI review

    Same boat here. Mine will start life on 6.5 Swede, but I’ve got a tikka 6.5 PRC take off in the safe. I’m now wondering if I should sell the barrel and magnum bolt and get on the small caliber train…

    Considering downsizing to 6 cm from 7 PRC

    Can you copy those sections of the results or conclusion sections that support these statements and paste them here? I’m not arguing that gel isn’t a good medium. I am questioning if you’re citing literature correctly..

    Considering downsizing to 6 cm from 7 PRC

    @Article 4 , can you explain which details of the paper you cite above support the arguments you are making relative to the additional margin of error gained through increased caliber? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S175161611630412X I haven’t bought the paper, but the...

    I don’t have on game experience myself, so this is really a @Formidilosus or other data driven hunter here question. I haven’t seen a formula offered up anywhere, but what I understood from recent podcasts (eg Form on Exo) was that bullet length (assuming equal construction) matters, which...

    The mantra has been for heavy for caliber bullets to ensure adequate wound width and depth, not equal bullet weight and velocity regardless of caliber.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    Order a new pair of RF binos that shipped FedEx, signature required. I updated the delivery to have them held at a FedEx location. Their system had the binos as shown as ‘out for delivery, your driver is ___’ for >48hrs. Their chatbot was kind enough to tell me the same. Called the FedEx...

    Silencerco Scythe TI review

    1/1000 is pretty poor if the failures are occurring within normal use conditions and expect product lifetime (e.g. 300 rounds and a 18.5” barrel). A safety device failure has to be a much higher standard of acceptable fail rate than then your rangefinder not ranging or something else annoying...

    Silencerco Scythe TI review

    I fully agree. It would be good to see testing protocols published along with manufacturers claims. I’m not planning to screw mine onto a 16” ultra boomer, but where the safe vs non safe line lies should be an objective statement of fact not a guessing game. I know I ca screw up a hand load...

    Silencerco Scythe TI review

    Although doesn’t SilencerCo claim the Scythe has no barrel restrictions up to 300 RUM? I think the question is who is simply marketing in bad faith and who isn’t managing their quality control.

    Silencerco Scythe TI review

    @Tahoe1305, thanks for taking the initiative on this. I have an incoming Scythe that will mainly live on a 6.5x55 after I have it cut and threaded, but I also have a 6.5prc barrel in the safe that I was planning to do a future swap. I’d like to keep things at <20, but I’d also rather not blow...

    Best RF Binos. Swaro, Lecia, Vectors, Revics?

    I recently bought a pair of the Leica AB+ opting for glass quality over ranging. Things have been quite foggy here. On Sunday AM I was out in a park where people and dogs at 150ish were indistinct shadows with the naked eye, and the RF could range tree trunks to maybe 86yds, but for anything...

    Vectronix Vector X 10x42mm Evaluation

    I have the Geovid Pros, but no, I’ve only had them for about a day now so I can’t speak to their performance in depth yet.

    Vectronix Vector X 10x42mm Evaluation

    I just got a pair of the Leicas based on the optical quality discussion in this and other threads. So far I’m happy but I’ve mostly been looking at feeder birds over the last few hours so I definitely haven’t put them through their paces. The laser takes a second or two to wake up if they’ve...

    Silencerco Scythe TI review

    I would think close to zero. a supressor is a hearing protection device. Of course I shouldn’t pull the trigger after the prior shot blows off the suprssor, but if someone did and damaged their hearing because of a manufacturer quality issue, that would be much different than just having a...

    How To Account For Environmentals at Time of AB Profile Creation Sig BDX

    As others have pointed out MV is MV. The air pressure inside the barrel isn’t going to shift MV by 100fps. Drop at 300yds vs 500yds vs 800yds will vary with DA of course.

    How To Account For Environmentals at Time of AB Profile Creation Sig BDX

    I’m no expert and I don’t own kilo 10ks, but as I understand it environmentals have basically zero impact on a 100yd zero.
