Really good read with some good info on advancements in new ball powder that solve the temp sensitivity issues of the past compared to extruded stick powder...its called "Accu Flat" and they say "This family of powders matches Hodgdon’s Varget, H4350, H1000 and Retumbo for charge weight, performance and temperature sensitivity. Initial reports from the industry indicate that this propellant also offers high levels of accuracy."

Looking forward to testing this new ball powder....would be great for Dillons

Aside from tech related chips, does anyone else have a good idea of what shortages we might see if China decides to go hot with Taiwan? They have been making some more direct threats lately.

Just got one this week. Didn't bring my Gen 2 to compare. The power ring is smooth, but parallax is stiff as hell. I wish the locking turrets locked in the up position firmer. Optics look great. The new turrets are easy to zero but there is a difference between the two. The elevation turret has more audible clicks. I was told the turret issue was resolved on these new ones.

I recently purchased 20 pieces of once fired Alpha OCD 6GT brass to supplement the 200 pieces (199 after sacrificing one piece to an AMP annealer) that I had purchased prior for my new 6GT barrel. I decided to load up the 20 pieces with a similar load, although different bullet, to my other pieces and "fire form" them to my chamber prior to annealing and adding to the rotation of my other 199 pieces. Those are all on their third firing after annealing after two firings since new. All was going well, see below, until the last 7-8 rounds fired. As you can see, the last seven rounds began to move down. I had the Magnetospeed attached and there was essentially no change in speed. My initial fear was 1. that there was a baffle strike, 2. Magnetospeed strike, or 3. the reticle in my scope had moved. I decided to take the rifle back to the range and shoot some rounds of known quality to see what I could find after inspecting the baffles on the suppressor and the Magnetospeed wand with no indication of any kind of strike.

Continued below pic.




After shooting the first five rounds, I was relieved to see that my zero had actually not changed and all looked good. Until I shot the second five rounds which seemed to move again. (see below). I continued with another five rounds after making minor adjustments to elevation and windage (after turning the turrets a few rotations and returning them to the 'new' zero) and the group tightened back up but moved to where I had adjusted. Then I returned my turrets to the old "zero" and all was well again for the last two groups of five rounds.

So, what's going on? Is it just me and my POI changing due to slight adjustment for the different target via Chris Way's POA/POI change due to different angle of sight from the shooter? I've always noticed a slight change of POI with the different dots in the past as well. I've 'decided' that it was due to the slight angle of change in POA due to not moving my position, just adjusting the rifle on the bench, again via Chris Way's observations/teachings.

Up for grabs. Excellent condition. Bought here a month ago for a build that ain't happening.
Comes with Larue SPR 1.5 quick detach mount. Put it on my air rifle to get a feel for it then back in the box. (Included also). Vortex bubble, throw lever and Aadmount flip ups.
Asking $1275 shipped f/f or add fees.
Thanks

some useful advice on weapons' handling.

Well, I’m afraid the time has come and gone. See article below. We all know about Mail in ballots and I think most of us here agree that they are way too likely to be manipulated, votes stolen and so on. We agree that it’s something that shouldn’t be allowed. However, it would seem, at no surprise, that the gov is going all in and has a new division at the post office devoted to nothing other than main in ballots. What does that tell you?


As I’ve said, those who control the enforcement control the outcome. It’s about that time.

I can’t believe this was made today with all the snowflakes out there. Archie Bunker would be proud.

Rummaging through some stuff and out pops this stamp mint set from 1975. Many have the theme of the bicentennial we're about to celebrate the next year.
Low and behold a stamp that celebrates the American Militia. What a difference a few decades makes, could they do it again today?
Kinda hard having a stamp for what they now call domestic terrorists.

Hello all -

It seems I’m getting pretty low comparative velocities with some reloads and I’m hoping someone can help me troubleshoot why.

TL;DR I think it’s the choice of powder, and looking for potential confirmation.

Gun:
Ultimatum Deadline action
Hawk Hill 24” - ~600 rounds through it

Load:
Hornady 140 BTHP
Hornady once fired brass cut to 1.910-1.915
CCI 400 primers (not the best but have worked fine for me lately given availability)
Accurate 4350 - min 40.4 gr, max 41.8 gr in .2 increments

Results of ladder test:
1. 2401
2. 2426
3. 2448
4. 2474
5. 2463
6. 2500
7. 2521
8. 2529

Based on my searching and reading about 140 gr 6.5 with Accurate 4350, I think I should be getting about 2700 fps with 41.8 gr.

I have worked up loads with 147 ELDM that shoot true to expectations out of the same once fired brass, and factory loads shoot true enough to their stated velocities for me to rule out the barrel
having lost velocity and the chrono (magnetospeed v3) having issues.

Is accurate 4350 just not good at getting high velocities with this cartridge?

Or am I making a mistake elsewhere.

Thank you!

I am looking into buying a bolt action rifle, most likely in .308. This will be my only bolt action and larger caliber rifle. I primarily want it for deer season and occasional recreational shooting. I hunt national forest and like to walk a longgg ways in. The area I hunt often has dogs running deer so I want a gun that is decent in low light but also offers fast shouldering and target aquistion. I have it pretty much narrowed down to the savage 110 tactical hunter with a heavier 18" barrel or the ruger predator .308 with a 18" barrel. I understand both are free floated and have what shooters consider cheap flimsy stocks but as I keep my shots on game under 200 yards I don't think it will matter much. As an unexperienced shooter here are my pros and cons for now.

110

• 110 series actions are not the economy line in savage, likely higher quality than the ruger american line.
• Heavier barrel may make it more accurate if shot in different positions in the field. Off hand, off pack, leaning on tree, and etc.
• Retain value, as 110s are higher quality if I decide to upgrade my rifle may be a better starting platform.

Ruger Predator

• Lower cost
• Lighter, may be quicker to shoulder.
• Specs say it's shorter, better for hiking through the woods.

What are people's thoughts. If cost is not a big factor, as it is a rifle I expect to own for years the difference is pretty small already.
What are the real benefits of a heavier barrel if not shooting for tight groups in fast succession? Are heavier barrels mainly a benefit for range shooting?

Only used a few times. Looks brand new.

Paid menstrual leave is a “fundamental worker’s right” that should be guaranteed by employers, according to a recent Teen Vogue op-ed that makes the case for the policy, claiming that workers are not “children to be managed by paternalistic bosses” and should not be forced to use “normal sick days” during menstrual periods.

The Thursday essay, titled “Paid Menstrual Leave Is a Worker’s Rights Issue That Employers Should Guarantee,” was penned by contributor Sara Youngblood Gregory, a self-described “lesbian poet,” whose upcoming work “The Polyamory Workbook” deals with “navigating ethical non monogamy”.

According to Gregory, paid menstrual leave “is more than just an added employment benefit — it’s a worker’s rights issue.”

I'm afraid this question may result in a number of strongly held opinions, sometimes based more on emotions and politics than on practical issues. I mean it as a practical question and am looking for practical answers and insights. So I think that I'll just ask it, and then sit back and benefit from what's said -- rather than engaging in any "discussion" or argumentation myself. I suppose I should answer any direct questions if posed, but other than that, I'm not in this to convince anyone of anything. That being said, ...

Suppose that I want to buy a kind of scope that is "mid-range" in price. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that it's something like an Athlon Argos or Midas, a Burris Fullfield or Signature, or a Vortex Venom or Viper. But those are just examples. This isn't about a specific brand or model. Let's assume that I've settled on the set of features I want and in fact have settled on the specific model with those features. Let's further assume that we're ruling out buying the scope second-hand or in a private sale -- I think I know the benefits and risks involved in those cases.

What I'm wondering is: "Is there a clear benefit to buying the scope from one place rather than another?" If so, what are the best places and specifically what is that benefit? For example, if I can get the scope from such providers as Academy Sports (large national chain), Camera Land (online), Amazon, a "local" gun store (probably by special order), or Ebay (not from an "individual" as a private sale, but from someone with a history of selling such models), then which one of these should I choose to do business with? Or does it really just come down to price at that point?

My thinking is that since the scope will have a manufacturer's warranty, then what is to gain from purchasing from one place rather than another -- except for the purchase price? I'm particularly interested in any genuine experiences (and not speculations or "common sense" observations) that people may have had (either good or bad). When you look at these things, it certainly appears that they have pretty much the status of "commodities" across the number of sales sources, the prices are very similar (if not identical), and only vague claims are made about "Why you should buy from us." But I'm curious about whether there are any differences -- real, practical differences -- and what those may be.

$1950 shipped I am a retired 18A Special Forces Officer, former Detachment Commander of ODA-075, and I built this rifle that you can bet your life on. This is a copy of the SASS M110 sniper rifle. It exceeds the Army standard for accuracy for the M110 system. It shoots sub moa with match ammo, see a typical 5 shot group in the pictures. You can see me engage a hostage target at 100yds with this gun in this video Login to view embedded media This precision rifle utilizes an Aero M5 upper and lower. The bolt is by Brownell's and is nickel boron coated. The barrel is 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium by Aero Precision and is 20" long with a 1:7 twist. It has a picatinny gas block and attachment for the Knights Armament M110 suppressor. A non-functional display copy of the Knights suppressor is included (firing the rifle with this display suppressor will destroy the suppressor). There is a KAC type M110 adjustable stock with flush cups. The Monstrum quad rail includes KAC rail covers and a Harris type bipod. The trigger is a modular match trigger, with anti-walk pins, breaking at a crisp 3.5 pounds. The gun is finished in a custom Cerakote "Battleworn" finish. Weight is 11 pounds and overall length is 41.5" to 43.5". I guarantee this gun 100% and you can return it for a full refund (less shipping) within 5 days for any reason. I have never had a rifle returned, see my feedback on GunBroker where I am specialagent44. Gun is cross listed on other sites and will be removed if bid on or sold. Bipod, Magpul 20 rd magazine, and display suppressor included. Shipped in hard case OPTIC NOT INCLUDED. No sales where prohibited $2300 shipped to your FFL. The only trade I will take is for a new/like new Springfield 5.56 Hellion plus $300.
