Scope height mythe

I just saw Chris Kraft put out a video on scope hight,for years I’ve put my scopes up high so I didn’t have to do contortions with my neck and head to get positioned behind my scopes,I was told I would never get any type of accuracy this way well I always disagreed I felt when I was more comfortable my POI was always consistent .from what I understand it’s never been a proven fact if you run your scope high it will be less accurate .

Rifle Scopes New Athlon MPVO options for 2025

I haven't been keeping up with what all is new at Athlon but I saw these this morning and thought I'd mention them.

It's the .06 mil reticle thickness and the G3 upgrades that interests me. I had the G1 MT 4-16 which is a stand out of priceperquality and sold it right away because it was hard for me to see the reticle on low power because it was .04 mil thick.

Thinking about pursuing a JD down the road, any recommendations?

I've been kicking around the idea of taking the LSAT and going back to school for my JD in a few years.
I already have a BA (Crim) and Masters (Int Relations), but I am thinking about law (still thinking about what direction, criminal, corporate, international are the three that most interest me). I'm a little bit older and more focused but age is still a consideration.
For those that have done it, any recommendations? Anything you wish you would have known before taking this journey?

and yes, I know this is the Bear Pit, so 'er it rip Tater Chip :LOL:

Barrel and gas system lengths

So I've got a pair of AR10s and I use that term on purpose.
One is an Armalite AR10 that was originally a 300 SAUM. I rebarreled it to a 6.5 PRC with a 24" barrel and a +2 gas system. I've just about got it dialed in to cycle perfect...but the Armalite mags are dog-spit and I think I'm gonna end up having to 3d print a self leveling follower for their Gen2 pattern mags.
The 2nd is a Matrix upper lower set that is still the Armalite pattern, but takes SR25 mags...that one is a 22" 6.5 Creed with a +2 gas system. Pmags don't work 100% but so far ACS mags have been doing great. Seems to be tuned and feeding/cycling but with both systems...I'm thinking I should have just made them 16 or 18? from the jump.

Has anyone ever taken a barrel with a +1 or +2 gas system and shortened the barrel down to 16 or 18"??
I assume this is going to drastically reduce the gas and potentially start short stroking, but with the buffer, springs and gas block I have...I assume getting it tuned to run suppressed again would be fairly easy.

Really thinking I should have gown shorter.

Time for a new press

So while I like reloading on my single stage it’s time to upgrade. I have my eye on the Dillion 550c or xl750.

I currently reload for several calibers. .223, 22-250, 22cm, 6cm, 6.5cm , 6 arc, 7prc. I’d like to start cranking out 9mm cause my damn kid burns through it like he’s idpa shooter.
Typically shoot 200-300 ish rounds of each (less with a few calibers)With the exception of 223 and 9mm which is substantially more each month.

I really don’t want to out grow the press and have to get newer one in a few years.

Would You just get the xl750 and skip the 550c ?

Also might be a dumb ass question. For those not trimming on the Dillion are you sizing /deprime , prime and pulling them to trim or what’s your process?

Because in my head having the 5th station doesn’t seem logical if not trimming on the press… but I guess you could run a powder check… idk

I’ve only ever ran a single stage and have all the shit to trim (not on the press).

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Not new to reloading or prepping at all just progressive presses.

Thanks,
Dave

Help improving my group’s. What needs changing?

I’m working up a load for my 6.5 creedmoor AT-X. I have really good extreme spread of 6.8fps and standard deviation of 2.9fps. Im also happy with the velocity of 2772fps I’m now altering the seating depth - I have a range of depths already tested, but ideally I’d like them tighter. I started off with 25 thou off jam, then worked my way back. I have gone from 2.3280 down to 2.2720. Do I need to still keep going with the seating depth?
I have a barrel tuner that I haven’t yet touched, as ideally I wanted tighter groups first, or would you be happy with the results and start adjusting the tuner ?

Frustrated with our legal system

Howdy Hide,

I'm sure I"m not the first to step on their soapbox here about this topic (nor will I be the last). I also know many folks that participate here are either employed or have been employed in one way or another with the DOJ industry. It's not my intention to cast stones towards those folks (as far as I know I've always avoided the "uniform hanger" and whatever terminology typically found in these type of threads). That said- as the thread title suggests I'm beyond weary of what I see it do to folks that (I at least) perceive to be otherwise normal individuals/citizens/Americans/whatever and just have their lives completely upended once they find themselves sucked into the gravity that is the DOJ 'system'.

I've seen so many examples over the years, as I'm sure many here have, with things like say divorces. An otherwise upstanding guy making the mistake of marrying someone who (for so many reasons that it could be a discussion itself) find themselves in a bitter court battle draining their finances that they spent years/decades often building because their wife got 'bored'/whatever and then have to spend 10's of thousands of dollars in legal fees, lose their house, lose their kids, lose their retirements & lifesavings, and also careers and reputation at the otherwise whim of someone that they trusted and spent all those years supporting.

Another example I've seen firsthand that isn't often discussed is DUI charges. Folks getting their pictures in the news and lengthy proceedings & expenses to challenge the charge afterwards and even if they "win" as not being guilty of the charges, they're out significant money/have fallout for their reputations, lose significant time, etc. It may vary by state but I even know of folks arrested, publicized, and were brought in for some additional testing (typically blood testing in these parts) and come back completely sober as in no alcohol, drugs, etc in their system at all. And the DA just says 'eh' we'll dismiss the charges (which were brought up likely months previously).

And one might think that's a "one off" type of situation but again, it may be regional, but there was an investigation here a few years ago on the frequency of folks being arrested and brought in for further testing after failing whatever roadside test (BAC/roadside sobriety) and it was found that something like 25% never were brought to trial because the testing confirmed that they had no alcohol/drugs in their system and it was a 'mistake'. I could continue on my opinions with that alone but that's not what's driving this post/what makes it relevant here.

I'm often criticized for posting longwinded blocks of text so I'll do a quick <break> and continue in another posting.

Rotten pieces of shit

So when they beat up the old man with dementia- before the body can footage came out they had a cover story -drunk violent man trying to shoplift.

The pigs even say - “ we gotta charge him but the court will dismiss the charges “

The pigs beat him up so bad the jail refused to take him . And the Mayor and chief pig are standing by the violent drunk thief story and of course no policies were violated.
Cause beating up old people with dementia is how they roll .
