The Shoot2hunt Podcast

@Ryan Avery just curious as to the problems with the 2.5-20 NX8. I was thinking of getting one for a Tikka 223 build I am doing. I have one on a 6.5 Creed that I love, and the 4-32 on my 300 prc, I haven't had any issues with them. Just curious what to watch out for.

I’m supposed to believe that Ryan used to reload a moderate 15-20,000 rounds a year, but doesn’t know what an expanding mandrel is??…. Suspicious hahaha

I think there was beef between UM and alpha during the early days of UM.

I forgot about that. But alpha brass is top quality for sure.

That’s what I was thinking, seemed to recall some hard feelings.

Oh no doubt, it deserves to be included in the discussion with ADG and Lapua…but they never mentioned it on the reloading podcast with exception of saying it was made in the US.

Most don't use their equipment at all.

One was rather new the other was used well…

One got crunchy the other would not focus at any distance.

Unknown Munitions started life as Alpha Unknown. Alpha Munitions sent them a cease and desist.

I have never used Alpha Munitions brass so I can't speak from experience.

Forgot you guys discussed this on a podcast. Funny that "Alpha" wound be considered unique, but " "Munitions" is fair play. Lame on their part

I totally agree. But definitely a blessing in disguise. Because Unknown Munitions is a MUCH better name than Alpha Unknown given the space they’re in.

Is there any other way? If it don’t take a cci450…

I've never listened to the podcast, but your post made me think. What the hell do I say? So I went and listened to it yesterday while bear hunting. Damn, my ADHD shines though... I did a podcast with Jay(Mindful Hunter) a few weeks ago, and it made me realize my brain is like a horders house... shit everywhere. HAHA

Their credit card machine still charges as Alpha Unknown. Makes it a b**ch to find past charges from them.

Lmao!!! I enjoy the ADHDism honestly.

And in all fairness, you have WAY more years of storage to go through in your brain, than I do in mine hahaha
