    Suppressors New can from silencerco

    Silencerco is another can company quickly becoming irrelevant by refusing to actually innovate and engage with the companies earnestly trying to do new better things. Why anyone would buy that over something from say CGS is beyond me.

    Suppressors TBAC 30 cal analysis paralysis

    Counter opinion: check out Pewscience instead of a manufacturers published numbers which are tested in not ideal circumstances. TBAC surely makes good suppressors but it seems the Hide gets drawn to product (precision rifle) when product itself is equally and sometimes better suited. There's...

    Strelok Pro

    The feds are not going to mess with someone for using Strelok and if they do they will lose. Your comparisons are also not even in the same county of relevancy. If you could take some advise on PR, you should be defending Strelok instead of coming around to discussion on it with fear mongering.

    Strelok Pro

    Have you or AB made efforts to stop distribution of the application? It's an excellent application and efforts to get it removed from distribution, as well as spreading information on it such as this make one suspect an active effort by the government, followed immediately by known competitors...

    Tripods

    May as well go for Leofoto or Innorel since Two Vets is just as Chinese as them. They're Chinese tripods marked up for tactical branding.

    Projectiles for 1:5 twist, 300 blackout gas gun

    You can use plated bullets if you tailor the velocity so that the final RPM is still within limit. Berry's says their 220 gr plated has a max velocity of 1300 FPS and max twist of 1:7". That's 133,714 RPM. Which in a 1:5" twist is achieved at 928 FPS. So just load your subs appropriately...

    Sizing LC Once fired

    I deprime and size in the same press motion on a progressive. You're just adding time to decap, then swage, then also size in a different step. Ideal situation is to use a Dillon equipped with trimmer and swager, so it can go right to chamfer and deburr, then anneal. I get most of my LC brass...

    Sizing LC Once fired

    Full length size, swage, trim, deburr, chamfer, and then finally anneal and label the lot ready. LC brass is the best there is in 223 after a little sorting.

    BCM MK12 Mod0 Review

    CLE is about a 3-4 month wait maximally, and WOA had 18" SPR barrels in stock just recently. The WOA barrels shoot every bit as well as the proper Mk12 Douglas barrels I've used.

    BCM MK12 Mod0 Review

    3 shot groups and it still does bad. Sad. BCM barrels are so disappointing.

    Prvi Partzen 7.5 Swiss Brass. Has Very Tight Primer

    Very common "issue" with new PPU brass. Add a light chamfer to the primer pocket during prep and it should guide the primers in more smoothly, but still be quite tight. When I loaded for K31s I believe even 5 firings later they were still tight pockets but becoming manageable. It's quite solid...

    Primal Rights CPS in stock NOW!

    Everyone else saw the AB broadcast where it made it clear primer seating depth is pointless. It's an overengineered tool that yields no benefit over a basic hand primer from RCBS or the like.

    Powder funnels

    Using a basic Lyman plastic funnel for over a decade. Some folks just need an excuse to spend money on function that a sheet of paper can do.

    Heavy super 300 BO data?

    The only right choice in 300 Blackout for lethality are supersonics, and the only supersonics worthwhile in 300 Blackout are 110gr-120gr TAC-TX, Varmageddon, VMAX, and that's really it. The rest are not made to expand at the low speeds of 300 Blackout past a very short distance. If that's not...

    Tikka T3x upgrades

    If you just put it together then what does it already have? Or did you just buy a T3 Lite in 300 WM with a 24" barrel? If so, the Sterk bolt handle is the only thing you've listed that's worthwhile IMO. Find out how it shoots as-is with the COAL that magazine allows. Go from there. Too many...

    Powder in Hornady Blackout 110gr factory load ?

    You may want to try H110 again. I'm getting 1955 FPS from a 5.5" rattler using 19.7 gr H110 in converted LC brass with CCI 450 primers and 110 gr Nosler Varmageddon (nearly identical to the VMAX from what I can find). I believe the factory load is only supposed to hit 1900 FPS in that barrel.

    Subsonic Expanding .300 Blackout Speer bullets

    The subsonic projectiles are all at the best a slow expanding bullet that has to entirely rely upon permanent cavity and penetration depth for wounding. Same as most any handgun. Meanwhile lower weight 110-120 gr bullets moving fast enough will exceed some tissue elasticity with their...

    Subsonic Expanding .300 Blackout Speer bullets

    None of the expanding subsonic bullets have been reliable from what I have seen. I am also of the opinion that subsonic ammo in 300 Blackout is a novelty, as literally any application of it would be improved by using 110-120 gr supersonic projectiles. I get that some people have killed people...
