At the range prior to my Tikka .223’s first shot, I’ve been removing the oil leftover from barrel cleaning. But I’ve been reading about how leaving this oil in the barrel may help prevent copper buildup from the first few shots, and that some shooters will run a patch with traces of graphite down the barrel prior to shooting in order to also prevent coppering. Has anybody observed increased copper buildup or long tern issues from a dry barrel as oppossed to an oiled one or one with a trace of graphite for the first few shots? Thanks

I’m loading some 6 Dasher, 3rd reloads, Alpha brass. My question, and this goes for every round really, but should you trim. My brass is well within spec, however they vary individually by 20-30 thousandths in length. Is it worth trimming? Same general question for 6.5 Creedmoor. I’ll have cases ranging between 1.910 and 1.920, usually around 1.915-1.917, is it worth trimming them or only if they are out of spec.

This is for long range PRS and NRL shooting.

Ok, I finally got to go shoot these things side by side more thoroughly.

Let me preface that all these cans are bought with my money. I have no connection to either 3 companies. I'm a can whore and I like to collect them all.

First: They are all great cans! You honestly would be hard pressed to go wrong purchasing any of these products. Obviously the Abel is newer and the Maverick is older. I anticipate as many more shooters shoot braked suppressors, the industry will respond with better performing products in the years to come. I am looking forward to it.

I have ran the Maverick for many PRS seasons (4-5?) and consider it a gold standard for braked support performance in the current LR shooting sports. No, it does not make things quiet. But it does make things manageable and pleasant to the shooter. Getting blasted by a brake for 2 days sucks.

I enjoy the Magnus. However, I find it way more effective on larger caliber (aka magnum) rounds than 6 mm, 25, 6.5, etc... It just does not do it for me in terms of reading a target after the shot. Is it impossible? No. Is it shooter error? Maybe. I am pretty comfortable behind a rifle. With that said, I'm sure there are BETTER shooters out there that are evaluating the very same thing.

Last, the Abel. I honestly wasn't going into it thinking I was going to be impressed. In my head, I thought "oh, another TBAC-like can." I was wrong. The Theorem S-braked is stellar! Like, it works...

I shot a 13 lbs rifle in 6.5 (my PRS Sportsman setup) and the braked performance AND suppression were quite pleasant. I wanted to shoot a lighter rifle as I know shooting my standard Open configuration (22 lbs) wouldn't really show the performance/weakness to me. Having shot the Maverick for so long, the braked Theorem S really surprised me. I will continue to use this through the remainder of the matches this season and, potentially, into the PRS Finale.

All shots were either in modified prone or off a standing barricade with no rear support (tripod).

Take it for what it's worth, this was just an in-my-pants-feeling review. ;-)

The Blaser R93 is a straight-pull action precision rifle offered in a multitude of calibers and barrel lengths manufactured by the German firearms manufacturer Blaser. Designed by Blasers' designer Mr. Meinhard Zeh in 1993, it had a number of features rare on modern hunting rifles, including a manual cocking system and a proprietary Blaser saddle scope mount[ for mounting the optic directly to the quick-change barrel.
The Blaser R93 is a truly modular system built around an aluminum alloy frame, offering differing stocks and barrels varying length and thickness available in chamberings from .22 LR to .375 H&H Magnum/.416 Remington Magnum/.458 Winchester Magnum size.
The barrel has a quick-change design which lets the user switch barrels using two screws and a hex key. Different bolt heads for different groups of calibers and magazine inserts are also user changeable, making the Blaser R93 a modular firearm capable of using a multitude of calibers in its chassis.
The rifle has a shorter overall length compared to more traditional designs due to the trigger being placed under the magazine. The rifle also has a reputation for being easy to disassemble and reassemble which can be an advantage when doing maintenance or during travelling, and has a reputation for having a repeatable zero upon reassembly. The Blaser R93 Tactical is a German bolt action sniper rifle, based on the Blaser R93 design. It has as variants the Blaser LRS 2 and Tactical 2. It is used by German and Dutch police forces as well as the Australian military and special police units. The rifles were manufactured by the German firearms manufacturer Blaser.

How about some recommendations for a home defense pistol? Here’s my requirements.

1. Semi-auto, not a wheel gun
2. Must have an old-school thumb safety
3. Must be Washington state compliant
4. Full-size. It’s not for concealed carry.
5. Easy to shoot accurately.
6. Not a 1911
7. One of the common calibers (9, 10, 40, 45)
8. Would like to be able to put a laser sight on it.

I don’t care if it’s metal or plastic, don’t care how it looks, don’t care how much it weighs. My upper limit would probably be $800, but if there’s a utilitarian but reliable pistol for $400, even better.

For Sale is a new bolt. 75 degrees RH, 308 Bolt face for an impact 737 or 707.

My supply of -450s is depleting much faster than -400s. Does anyone have good data on 400s in 6BR (or similar) using stick powders in warm weather?

I'm gonna give it a try and see what happens, but would welcome input from the community.

I have a Rem 722 action (action before the 700, same footprint for stocks, bases etc) with a barrel I can’t remember who’s chambered in 308. The Barrel is a straight bull and the barrel was put on by a novice. It has a terrible paint job as well. $425 shipped will take trades

Guys - I've got a facility with hundreds of light bulbs. Floods, spots, decorative, and regular bulbs.

In my world, the failure mode of the LEDs is to start flickering (and be super annoying), and then if I don't hustle up a 20-foot ladder (or 45-ft boom lift @ $600/day rental) and swap out that bulb fast enough the power fluctuations screw with the electronics in adjacent bulbs and make a bunch more start failing.

I already got rid of all the rheostats.

Anybody know if more expensive bulbs from specialty shops are actually better quality?
Are there LED bulbs that fail differently?
If they would fail by just going dark (like BITD), that would be a huge improvement.

Ideas?

Well, that had to suck!

Never liked burritos anyway…

What's the best over the counter weed killer to get rid on the jungle growing in our mulch beds? I sprayed them Sunday with Roundup Ground Clear that's supposed to be effective for 1 year. They withered a bit, laughed, and are turning green again this morning. Bastages.

So after chasing my tail with load development trying to get my current 223 rifle project all set, I ran a scope down the bore and noticed what looks like random copper fouling 1/2-3/4 through the barrel in a couple spots. It also looks like a possible rough patch in the bore but I can’t definitively say because I’m not a gunsmith nor pretend to be one.

Now I don’t know if that’s just due to it being a semi fresh barrel (325 rounds through it) or if there’s actually a problem with it since I’ve never experienced this issue before. I played with powder, seating depth, virgin vs once fired brass and I can’t get it to consistently shoot a tight group, best I can get is 3/4-1” or its making two distinct groups that on their own would be awesome but not in the same string of fire.

I’m going to reach out to the barrel manufacturer in the morning and see what they think about the situation, but figured I’d get some people’s input/advice. So I’m not going to bad mouth them because that’s not fair and I understand that sometimes things can get a little cattywompus, but they do have a pretty solid reputation.
