Just looking for opinions. Looking for a cheap to reload for plinking cartridge that maybe isn't .223rem since I already have a couple in an AR.
Plinking from 1-400 max. More like 1-200 yards because that's what the range i got to has. Somthing to shoot with friends or shoot while another rifle cools down.

Was thinking maybe a 6x45 slinging some 70grain sierras.

Any other options out there. What do you fellas use for such activities?

Hey Dudes;

Does anyone know how range maximum energy limits are calculated?

I'm templating a new range ATM but there's nothing in the pam regards limits. For example our normal range is 8mm max calibre and 3319 ft lbs. No one knows how that number was arrived at.

Anyone know what the math is?

Thanks

I have a rifle I put together a little while ago and it's been shooting really weird. It's a bcm upper, green mountain barrel, KAC URX handguard, set screw gas block, microbest bcg, lower is Palmetto with a larue trigger and lmt sopmod. It has weird fliers that I can't account for and it doesn't seem to hold zero. It doesn't shoot to point of aim consistently.

Things I've tried:

Rebarreled
Took it all apart, put it back together, different barrel nut torque (fiddled with upper receivers and found one to thermo fit, didn't help)
Factory ammo to eliminate handloads
Two different scopes, irons
Less oomph on gas block set screws
No muzzle device
Lead sled didn't help

Now here's the weirdest part, I shot it single fed no magazine and it grouped well vertically BUT it had a horizontal stringing of about 2moa

So I'm pretty much stumped, I've built probably 40 ARs and this one seems to be possessed or something

Looks like the swamp ain't getting drained any time soon.... Wonder if the kraken is getting released soon or if we got those servers from Germany yet?

I have 2 AR rifles and 1 Magpul bipod (picatinny clamp). Instead of ordering another bipod, or carrying around a screwdriver, I've been thinking about using shouldered thumb screws to make this bipod easier to swap between rifles.

Dumb idea, or could I be onto something? This is what happens when I take time off work

Tossing around the idea of selling or trading my barreled action chambered in 6.5x47.

Mack Brothers 20moa scope base

It has well under 400rds, and it shoots fantastic. I have printed .2s and .3s regularly at 100yds. I have a 30 Sherman Magnum that is getting finished up and between my other rifles, this may not see much use. $1500 shipped.

Trades considered:

Long read (50 minutes) but a pretty good article. Much of which we already know and have dealt with the last few years at least in the civilian sector. Not many surprises here but a good read nonetheless.

I just need to vent a little , I have a niece that's marrying a butch woman , got the invitation back in the summer , the weddings next week , I never responded to the rsvp , mostly because I don't condone same sex marriage, so my brother calls (he's the grandfather) and asked if I'm going ,I let him know my stance on the matter and I won't be attending , I'm a Christian and I know I shouldn't judge others lest I be judged , but I'm not going to celebrate something I consider a sin , and yes I'm a sinner too , but the difference is I'm ashamed of my sins I don't celebrate them , still can't believe we have a pride month, my mom who's 86 said she's not attending either so at least I won't be the only family member not going , I'm I being a prude for not caving in to this shit , it will probably ruin my relationship with her father who I am sorta a second father to , but I guess that's the price I have to pay for standing up for my beliefs, what say the hide .

And by this question, I mean, "Are you concerned at all about the Feds being able to track your gun/ammo purchases via Credit/Debit card usage" (ie. those little merchant codes)? 2025 is, more than likely for me, going to be more of an "ammo" year than a gun year. I may get some accessories and/or parts, but mostly I'm looking at beefing up ammo inventory. And, while I'm pretty sure I can stay away from ammo sources in Kommiefornia (where they're doing all sorts of crazy "shiznit," - I don't like that because I can get some good deals from there), still, I wonder about federal efforts and whether or not the dealers/mfgrs. are getting pressure to use those codes. I'm not sure what the status of those fed based laws are at present. and I'm also not sure what will happen once Pres. Trump takes office. Will the Federal effort stop, or are they just going to do it any way even after being told it's "illegal/unconstitutional?" The Feds are notorious for that.

So how will you get your ammo in 2025? Of course, the safest way would be to go to a local store and buy it, paying cash. But that's kinda hard to do given how much those merchants mark up ammo, as well as having boxes of 1000 rounds available for sale to one specific buyer. And one loses out on all the ammo deals available "on-line" (which I track via AmmoSeek.com every week for the calibers that interest me).

Are you guys going to wait and see what happens with Trump, or just go ahead and get what you need when you need it, not caring about how the sales are being tracked)? I wish there were ways we could get around those codes, but I don't know if that's possible. I'd imagine the feds would be on to any "trickery" a merchant attempts to disguise ammo/gun sales under a different merchant name or the like. And some merchants just don't care. They'll do it "in defiance" of the feds and expect you to go along for the ride. Can't go with them... Sorry.

What say you, then? What's your strategy for buying ammo (and guns) in 2025 and avoid being tracked?

Update 3/27 see #39 below.

Have a 7RM with a 24.7" barrel and a radial brake on the end. Paired with a Zeiss Conquest v4 6-24x50 and Seekins 30mm rings. Scope will slip literally within 5 shots and slips every 1-2 shots afterwards per shifting POI and the pencil witness marks on my scope moving. Moved about 1-1.5mm in 9 shots.

The scope continuously slips rearwards (toward the butt of the rifle) in the rings regardless of what I do. I sent the scope to Zeiss to confirm that it is not out of round or out of spec - it's not, don't have the measurements they gave me right now, but off the top of my head nothing looked wrong with the numbers.

Info:
Have the torqued to 22in/lb (max per Zeiss when I called them). Torqued in normal star pattern and then torqued again once everything was tight, measured per Borka torque wrench.
Added powdered rosin - didn't help.
Did not alter the inside surface of the rings or the outside surface scope in any way. Also called Seekins for ring warranty and they sent another set - didn't help.
Tried ARC rings as well and had slippage too.
Have a radial brake at the end of the barrel - not sure if the change in recoil impulse is related to this but I've seen bigger rifles with bigger brakes that would induce a "faster and jerkier" recoil impulse (i.e. the jerk function) not have problems with "similar quality" rings.
Am not using a particularly hot load, heavy or light projectiles, etc. - i.e. all well within book limits for projectile weights and velocities.
Scope is not particularly heavy - 24.3oz - not sure if this has to do with anything practically speaking
Don't think it's how I mounted anything - have other rifles, including larger cal, and none have a scope slippage problem this persistent. One other rifle did have a much more minor slippage problem (much less slippage in 50 rounds) but that was resolved with 22in/lb on the rings (up from 19) and powdered rosin.
The rails do not slip in their pic slots and the scope base does not slip either.

Any ideas here or just get different rings? If different rings is the solution, any recs around or under $150ish - would like something not too large / heavy as this is a hunting rifle but don't mind something with a little weight to it. 1 piece mount isn't possible with the rails on this rifle.

No longer have the time for shooting PRS and it is just sitting here collecting dust.

I bought a few Prime Ribs while they were on sale for Christmas with the intent of vacuum sealing and freezing them (well, all but one). I borrowed a FoodSaver V2440 from my sister and bought the expandable bags, but holy shit was this a frustrating experience. The machine would constantly fail to pull enough vacuum to empty the bag of oxygen and then seal. Sometimes the bag seemed empty but it refused to seal.

One prime rib I sealed I just took out of the fridge and it had a pocket of air in it. The meat has a faint sour odor but feels fine (not slimey) and doesn't otherwise seem obviously bad. I'm going to freeze it for use anyway and I just won't serve it to guests. But, I'm pissed off and frustrated by the entire experience with the FoodSaver's reluctance to do its job.

I know there has to be vacuum sealer users here. What do you guys use? Anyone have experience with VacMaster? Should I give FoodSaver another shot with a new machine?

Well, not really. But they were looking for Sasquatch and probably died of exposure for being terminally fucking stupid!

So in a way… Sasquatch killed them.

Stupid is going out in big Washington woods in December without being prepared. It’s even stupider when you are trying to find a mythical ape man.
