The G2 Heathen with Integral Tuner​

With the Heritage of our proven 5 Port Original Heathen the NEW G2 features:

50% increase in 1st port volume

24 degree increase in upward angle cut-out of port window to reduce muzzle rise

12% increase in "floor" or bride area on the bottom of the brake to reduce blast downward, decreasing ground and debris disturbance

Front wall of the 1st port is angled at 22 degrees upward

An included removable Brass Tuner

This tuner excites me, lately, I have been asking all the top guys who use Tuners what their settings are, how much they needed to "tune," etc, and each one said not very much. In fact, the majority said their tuners were set to 0, and the addition of the tuner itself was enough to bring the load in line. To test this theory, I added a tuner to my Valkyrie, and sure enough, just adding it brought the load into tune.

So when I saw Harley posted this, I had to talk to them as I love my Heathen Brakes, and use them a lot.

I mean how cool are these tuners according to Insite very little movement moves the node. Or you can decide you don't need to tune in order to use the brake so you can remove the weight.

Low Velocities After New Barrel

New here so obligatory apologies if this is in the wrong place. I recently had a Carbon6 barrel made in 6.5 PRC for an old trued 700 short action. 22” 1:7.5 twist, button rifled. It shoots lights out, several groups at 1/4” during break in and sight in. 123 rounds down the pipe as of right now. After break in I chronod it at an average 2720fps, essentially the same as the creedmoor I intended to replace with the PRC. All testing has been done with hornady factory 143gr ELDX Precision Hunter and 140gr ELDM Match.

Now I knew cutting the barrel down to 22” would result in lower than published velocities, and I expected that but not such a significant drop as I know folks with the same length that are touching around the 2900 mark. I do not currently reload but I’m not opposed to it if I can get the desired velocities safely.

I guess my questions are, is there anything I can do to help speed it up and make the PRC shoot like a PRC? I’m a decently capable backyard tinkerer so I’m not afraid to do a little work on it, this is just an issue I’ve never run into so severely. Is it worth investing in the reloading equipment to make up the speed or am I stuck with 6.5 PRC prices to get 6.5 creedmoor balistics? If I can’t get much improvement I’d rather just sell the gun and start over with a custom action and everything.

Load development questions

New to reloading so forgive me. Just curious on a few things. When you do load development, let's say by starting with a low powder charge and working your way up, how many rounds/groups do you shoot per powder charge weight?

After you have found a load you believe to be accurate, do you verify with a larger group?

I have been doing 2 groups of three shots per charge weight, from low to max, and then after finding one I play with seating depth, and I feel like I'm not getting any actual data from them because the sample size is too small. Would I be correct in saying this?

Optic for 7mm REM Mag hunting rifle….need fast

Very long story but end result is I need an optic for this rifle quickly as I’m hunting this weekend. I will of course look around locally but need advice re: this optic/caliber. If all goes to crap, I’ve a backup plan using an AR10/thermal.
Im even open to someone moving their optic but will need fast shipping.
Bolt action with pic rail, distance no more than 300 yards given known terrain this weekend; might be best to think 500 yard max shots at the range but I won’t shoot a deer at more than 300 yards in any case. Thanks!
Edit: prefer mil, illuminated reticle and budget is $1K or less….FFP if possible. Trying to stay away from China but that may be too much to ask given budget.

Man dancing on 18-wheeler knocked off under bridge, police say


HOUSTON - A man dancing on the trailer of an 18-wheeler died after he was knocked off while going under a bridge, Houston police say.
A 25-year-old man died in the crash that occurred around 11:35 a.m. Thursday along the US-59 Eastex Freeway at Tuam Street.
According to police, an 18-wheeler driver was traveling southbound when, unknown to him, a man jumped or climbed onto the top of the trailer portion of his vehicle.
Video shared by Grizzy's Hood News captured the shocking moments on camera.
Police say the man began dancing and possibly recording himself.
As the 18-wheeler went under the Tuam Street bridge, police say the man was struck and knocked off of the trailer onto the freeway.
The man was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police say the driver of the 18-wheeler was found to not be impaired, and he was questioned and released.
The investigation into the deadly crash continues.

For Those With A Knee-Mail Account,

We'd sure appreciate a few prayers for my Brother-In-Law. He's been in the hospital since May of this year, and we're simply asking for him to be healthy-enough to be home for Christmas.

He went in with sepsis due to complications from a leg amputation in '17. The hospital professionals in all their wisdom kept changing his medication AND the amounts.

Then he got MRSA, and they had to change the medication yet again. But it didn't work on the sepsis, so while the MRSA was being addressed, the sepsis got worse.

I forget why/what happened, but he needed 'faschiotomies' (however you spell it, I'm not a fascist) where they slashed open every 'connecting limb' (Shoulders to elbows, inside and out/hips to knees, top and bottom/knee to ankle, both sides of the calf)

Then they were looking at sending him home to be 'comfortable' because there wasn't any point in having him do physio. (yeah, we'd still like to have a wall-to-wall negotiation with that doc)

Then they tried giving him 'dual meds' for the MRSA and the sepsis at the same time, and he got OTHER issues. (I forget at the moment what stage that was)

So now, today, 6 MONTHS later, they are still/yet giving him the particular antibiotic for the sepsis, which HASN'T gone away quite yet. Getting close though.

Yeah, My Lady is asking any and all who Pray, to please Pray for Terry to be home for Christmas. (he's 41 now)
