    One shot question 🧐

    I have been shooting my reloads without cleaning off the one shot lube, even when I was using imperial die wax I never really cleaned my cases after resizing, come to think of it. Anyway, do you guys take the extra time to clean the one shot off after resizing? To my knowledge, I don’t think an...

    Nrl hunter match strategy question

    I’m nrl curious 😉. It seems a lot less to do with the circus tricks of prs, and a more practical real world simulation of what we do in the field. I have learned to dial drop/hold for wind calls. Nothing earth shattering there. I just put in an order for a scope with the tremor 4 reticle...

    Iron will/shwaker Broadhead penetration test vs reality

    I have always been under the common belief that fixed blades of sound design will out penetrate your typical expandible broadhead. It’s the age old compromise of performance in flight vs. performance in penetration/reliability. Iron will tested the force required to penetrate muscle and...

    Gieselle AR triggers

    What’s with the hype over these triggers? I have two of them on my ar’s and I never was blown away by either. I wanted a safe and reliable “match” trigger. They describe them as “breaking like glass”, supposedly. I would say more like “breaks like hotdog”, especially compared to a couple of...

    6 gt load data?

    Does anyone have published load data for the 6 gt? I need information for 108 eldm, 105 berger hybrids, and the 109 long range hybrids. There’s not much official data that I can find on the interwebs. I have some speculative loads based on other shooters data, but I’d like something I can...

    6 gt (or similar) barrel length/velocity.

    I normally figure around 35 fps loss per inch of barrel reduction. Have you found this assumption to hold true to the 6mm class of bullets? I have a threaded 26” barrel that I’m debating on cutting down to 22” for a suppressor, just considering the cost/benefits of getting it done. Or leaving...

    Thunderbeast suppressor mounts

    I’m still waiting for the atf to actually do their jobs and approve my stamp- after 11 months🙄. So glad they went to e files. Well anyway, I went with a direct thread dominus can. This mounts with their integral muzzle break off the threaded shoulder of the break. Do any of you guys just...

    Meat tenderizer question

    Do they have any noticeable effect on your final product? I know butchers run tougher cuts through them. But as I’m chewing this sorry steak they passed off as a NY strip, I’m beginning to wonder if they actually do anything? I’ve had decent results using mallets to break down tough cuts...

    LCA Vanemaster pro wire covers

    I need to replace the plastic wire covers on my jig. Like all things LCA, they are waaay over priced. $12.00 for shipping, also. Out of the mere principal of it, I don’t want to give them anymore of my money. Does anyone know of a diy option for these little wire covers? I need something that’s...

    Imr 8208 xbr substitutes?

    My ar-15 loves this powder, as do I. However, my patience is over waiting for it to become available. It’s been over a year, with no encouraging signs of it becoming available anytime soon. What are some equivalent powders that work well? I want something that is clean burning in a DI...

    Compact range card

    I’ve always used ballistic ae for load data and normally save my range card as a screen shot on my iPhone. I’m trying to print out a range card, but I just find the only option to be a full letter size sheet of paper, I’d like to print out a small card that I can laminate and taper to the rifle...

    Privacy report

    I didn’t expect this. One of the leading sights that popped up on my list when I checked my phone’s privacy report for profile tracking. Most of the others showed either zero or less than five, in comparison.

    Ace break

    Has anyone got to use one of these muzzle breaks? They claim to be very effective at reducing recoil without the extreme concussion delivered back to the shooter. Usually there is a direct relationship between noise and recoil mitigation on breaks. The most effective breaks also are the...

    6gt vs. the 6.5 mm calibers.

    I have been ringing steel well past 1k with my 260 rem. It’s a target build that I will occasionally shoot varmints with. I had originally planned on big game hunting with it as well, but it’s a pig of a gun to haul around so I never have. This barrel is almost shot out based on round...

    Hamskea arrow sight tool?

    I just listened to kifaru podcast. I don’t know if the tool is available to the general public? Anyone use one yet? Worth the $80+ for it, or just continue to eyeball initial center shot with a tape measure?

    Imr 8028 xbr???

    Has anyone found this unobtainium powder in stock? I’ve been looking for months now. A couple of the trash scam stores online show it “in stock”, but any reputable source hasn’t had it in a long time. Pm me if you know where to get it, please. I’m not a powder hoarder, I need about 3 pounds to...

    Nfa gun guru trust

    How do they want you to submit prints/photo to process through gun guru? I was thinking about just going through a local silencer shop kiosk initially due to the convenience of it. After looking at other trust options, it seems that gunguru is a pretty solid option that ties up loose ends that...

    Boot creams vs. good ol’ mink oil?

    Up until now my sop for boot care has been- remove caked on mud, HEAVY application of mink oil, then put them up on a boot dryer to let that oil soak into the leather. I don’t thinks my program is necessarily bad, but I’m curious if those of you have found the special boot creams to be superior...

    Fox pro x1 or x24 speaker?

    I’m looking into upgrading an old shockwave. I’ve never really liked the set up. Remote range is spotty, randomly loses signal. The speaker sounds like a pa announcement- really not as realistic as I’d have hoped, especially when turned up past 3/4 volume. That brings me to the market. I’m...

    Rain gear for work

    I work in excavation and am about to enter that crappy time of year for Ohio, late October and November rain season. I’m so tired of spending money on rain gear that wets out in an hour or two. I know, you can buy the helly hanson rubber coats that are impervious to water, but you’ll be wet from...
