    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    Mine has seemed a bit sensitive about location to pickup shots lately. Last weekend it missed the first few shots off bench with a suppressed bolt 223. Moved it 6” forward to be within about 6” of suppressor muzzle end and it caught them all. Weekend prior there was a prone stage at a prs...

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    Sounds great. I'm a bit scared to use my scythe ti with PRS style match shooting volume with all of the failures that have been reported.. Maybe the STM are more durable?

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    Sounds great. Looks like it might be a little hard on suppressor covers but I'll take that. Kind of regretting getting another of the original design now for my scythe.

    Titanium sleeve barrels

    To each their own. Some people think big ass carbon fiber spoilers on fwd Honda civics look cool. I think it’s stupid. I feel the same way about taking a perfectly good steel blank, contouring it thin as hell, and glueing a bunch of carbon around it and hoping that you didn’t fuck it up inducing...

    Titanium sleeve barrels

    No, I was one of the suckers who didn’t know I was paying more for less.

    Titanium sleeve barrels

    Sounds like the next sucker trap now that carbon is no longer unique.

    Precision Rifle Gear Large Game Changer Bag for Hunting, which fill?

    Lot of varieties to how one hunts but even my pint sized with Git Lite fill is more than I want to bring on many hunts. Never carried anything bigger/heavier than that. I could justify carrying a heavier model for midwest whitetail hunting if i sought more stability but there's no reason for a...

    Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

    I have a Manzella chambered 223 Wylde ACE tube, 0.219 bore, 7.5 twist. 24.0 grains H4895 under 77 tmk and 75 ELDm was actually a bit hot and loosened up primer pockets a bit on virgin lapua brass! Shoots good though and i'm just loading 23.0 xbr under 75 ELDs now. I know the freebore dia is...

    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    I'd look at either one of the CAT cans or one of the Ops inc style cans. I have a Polonium K on my 14.5" AR and it works fine for the money. Quieter and less backpressure would be cool but hopefully the new BRT gas tube and heavier buffer/spring tame it down a bit. Personally i avoid muzzle...

    Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

    Edit to actually respond to OP - 18" 6 Creedmoor on a tikka shoots factory sig 107 SMKs around 2790. 108 ELDm is in the same ballpark. I bought a few cases of the sig stuff at around $1.35 ea and it has done great. Probably wouldn't be my first choice for terminal performance though, the 108...

    Dillon 550 only- Tips, Tricks, Process Q&A thread .

    I’m a newbie to 550 and progressive reloading. I’m sure I can figure it out but figured I’ll ask here - loading 223, the case heads and rims are getting black greasy shit on them. I bought the shell plate new and have only performed priming, powder charging, and seating operations on this...

    Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

    Did Mike order the barrels with 7.75 twist or did you? What kind of lead time are the one off twists from ACE?
