Powder Scam?

I found some Reloader 26 in stock on a site called "Hunter-Precision.com" The price is surprising. Then I got looking around and found several kinds of impossible to find primers in stock. They have Fed 210M, Fed 215M, CCI 200s, etc. Anyone know if this site is legit? I tried to call each number listed and got nothing.

Maybe I was wrong about 20/30 yr olds

I recently started downsizing the shop and was selling off some older tools that folks don’t use anymore. Die grinders, die filer’s, a big manual screw press, big vertical band saw, lathe, etc. This is all stuff that came off old military bases and ships machine shops.

What surprised me was the number of 20/30 year olds that were interested in buying some of the stuff and knew how to use them. And the majority had a good understanding of where it came from.

I was pleasantly surprised and, if I am being honest, pleased to see this. Compared to the chuckle heads you see so often it was great to see some people with a sense of history. Well done to the parents that raised those kids.

Texas would hold gold backing the currency

A blind man could see this coming:

Bills introduced in the Texas House and Senate would create a state-issued, gold-backed digital currency.
Enactment of this legislation would create an option for people to transact business in sound money, set the stage to undermine the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money and create a viable alternative to a central bank digital currency (CBDC).


Best ar-10 under 1700 ish

7C460331-5CCF-43AA-8026-DAF85DA0DD59.png

What do you guys think. Thew around the idea of a m1a but was kinda drawn back into ar-10 ideas. What’s the best ar-10 for the money around 1700. Really like the look of the stag 10 in fde. Going to make factory ceracoat a requirement lol. Yeah I know it’s dumb but I like the looks somethihg desires black. The stags are on sale for like 1350. I built a aero m5 a while back with a Wilson combat barrel. Gun was super accurate but a nightmare getting the right gas tube length and gettin the gun gassed correctly. Never ran 100 percent. Sold to a buddy to tincker with. I don’t own a dedicated 308 anymore and I miss it.

Poor Man's Scope FOV Test

I recently picked up a mid-range scope and was bummed to find it had a noticeably smaller field of view than I was expecting. I started researching FOV specs and discovered it can be difficult to compare specs across scopes due to different zoom ranges as well as limited or incompatible specs provided by mfgs.
I believe it's possible to use the reticle on a FFP scope as a method to indicate FOV as long as common magnification is used. No doubt there's room for error here but I think it makes for an easy visual comparison. If I'm off, let me know.
Starting off, here are reticle pics of my 3 current scopes at 15x & 20x. I used 15x & 20x as I believe these two magnification settings will cover most scopes.

Feel free to add your own but use 15x or 20x to keep results comparable. Putting something translucent in front of scope provided best conditions for camera to focus on reticle.

TractToric-15x.jpg

Tract Toric @ 15x. Estimating a bit less than 12 MRAD from center to edge.

TractToric-20x.jpg

Tract Toric at 20x. A bit over 8 MRAD center to edge.

Accessories PRICE DROPS! Optics added!: Burris eliminator 3 $800 obo, Eotech 512 $360, Reconyx TrailCam, etc.

Getting rid of some things that are just sitting and won't get used by me. A lot of small $ items so shipping is on the buyer. Over $75 purchase the shipping is on me. Everything is OBO, will entertain discounts for bundles. Can post/pm more pictures. I can accept Paypal FF (or you cover fees), Zelle, personal check or USPS MO (once check clears). If you are new or don't have feedback here I may require verification depending on the item. I'm perfectly willing to facetime or provide custom pictures if you need, however, I’m not an idiot and know the common scams so if you seem fishy I’m going to default to FaceTime.

Burris Eliminator 3 4-16 laserscope. This model ranges reflective targets to 1200 and non-reflective (i.e. deer) to 750. I've had it out to 1000 on a 300wm no problem. Found it pretty consistent with my swarovski rangfinder. Comes with factory accessories (sun shade, lens covers, mounting plates and clamps, etc) including user manual, mounting instructions, and ballistic table. Scope has been durakote (air cured) and has held up well. I've probably had less than 100 rounds through this as it was on a hunting rifle and now i'm back on the east coast and don't have a range beyond 300 yards. Asking $800 tyd.

1. $275 Reconyx Hyperfire Professional IR TrailCam (PC900). Top of the line camera, great images, we recently moved into town so don't have any use for it. This is the professional covert series and what I used as a wildlife biologist.


4. $10 Tapco forward grip. Good shape, has had the camo wrap on it since purchase, I found I just don't like this style of grips.


10. $10 S&W M&P15 carbine stock. This is a takeoff from the factory rifle. some rattlecan but great shape.

12. $15 Quad rail. Replaced the standard handguard on the M&P. Rattlecanned. needs the delta ring (not included).

20. $5 AR-15 mag coupler. can't remember the brand, this is just a plastic double mag coupler. Be the most tactical guy at the public range (before you get kicked off for doing mag dumps).


22. $5 Active Seasons Bino Harness. Uses standard male buckle attachment. Has female buckles on the harness, you just need some male buckles attached to your binos.

23. $20 What I am assuming is an M1A mag. Fits 20rds of factory .308. See pictures to verify. Can give measurements if needed. Unmarked.


Let me know if I'm way off on prices. Tried to price fairly and some will be more to ship than what i'm asking so feel free to bundle.

I will be verifying function of electronics before shipping, and can provide proof of working order.

Smokey Shoulders

Why am I getting smokey shoulders on two different BRA chambered barrels?

My first barrel the dimensions were a touch off so I just figured it had something to do with that.

Now with a new barrel I’m seeing the same thing. First firing of Lapua all necks seem to seal up tight with no carbon on shoulder. I went and checked some speeds with once fired and sure as shot they all have carbon down the shoulder.

Virgin Lapua was running 2750-2760
Once fired I went from 2785-2850 all showing Smokey shoulder.

Brass prep went as follows:

Amp annealed
SAC modular w/ .263” bushing and .2405” mandrel

Shoulder was not pushed back on these as they chambered w/o resistance.

What makes the Vortex Gen 3 6-36 worth $1300 more than the Bushnell XRS3?

I am looking for something to put on a 6CM RPR to try out precision shooting. Having read that I should spend at least as much on optics as the rifle I was looking at the Bushnell XRS3. I haven't spent much time behind higher-mag LR scopes, so I was just wondering what benefits I might get for spending $1300 more on the Vortex?

WHat specs or features should I be looking for that are worth paying extra for?

Another trans shooter….this one was stopped

Daniel Perry found guilty of defending himself against Antifa 'tard armed with an AK47

Even though Austin PD Detectives and APD said it was justifiable self defense, a Soros hire DA in Austin won a conviction against a 43 yr. former Army Sgt. and part time Uber driver that defended himself from an Antifa/BLM mob and an AK weilding 'enforcer' in downtown Austin.



The Soros funded Travis County DA, Jose Garza, is a the typical 'conservative white man' hating rat pos out of the Geraldo Rivera mold.

Reloading Equipment WTT- 105 Hybrids for 109elds/110s

I’m gauging to see if anyone would be interested in trading and adjusting trade to help both parties fairly. I have just over 1k ish and will get an exact count tonight. It’s like 1200-1400 confidently.
I can’t believe I’m spending Friday night counting fucking bullets 😂

I have just developed loads using 109s and 110 atips that 🔨.

Scammers, I am seriously over the members with this

Guys,

Again, today, more emails of people who were scammed and still said nothing until it was too late.

If you post a WTB post on here, banned, end of story, do not pass go, I am removing you, if you are too stupid to handle it, you can't have it. In fact I will edit the welcome message today

Next, the Report Button, How fucking hard is it to hit report. Especially on the Private Messages where the guys says, Hey My Buddy has that, contact him here. Are you fucking kidding me, you fall for that... sure cause it's a deal. You have a report button in both Private messages and in the forum, You click report, tell us the issue, and then we act.

The report button links the account to our Spam Tools, not using the report button means we have to manually hunt this down.

There a not deals, we have people hurting, high inflation, and low supply, there are no deals you idiot. I know you are looking for that thing but that guys answering you does not have it either, he has an empty box with your name on it.

Please just stop, no more WTB, at all, if you get any form of unsolicited contact, probably a scammer.

Rifle Scopes ATACR questions

I have owned every scope out there except a Tangent and I went back to NF. I have 4 7x35s and I love them. I have had both 2.5-20 and 4-32 NX8 also. I have also had a 4-20 ATACR and was not a fan at all…. I have started shooting some NRL Hunter stuff and used a 7-35 on 10 power for the entire match. My question is this…. If I wanted to drop some weight should I look into the 4-16 ATACR or just settle with a NX8? I hated the tunneling of the 4-20 and wondered if the 4-16 had that same issue? Thanks in advance!
