Does anyone else on the Hide make a point to visit American Battlefields? I'm fortunate that my present location allows me to visit the Antietam & Gettysburg battlefields easily and Valley Forge & Fort Necessity are all within a comfortable drive as well. I've personally adopted as a collectible mindset to pick up a stoneware coffee mug from each battlefield I visit. Does anyone else here take the time to visit this sites or is it just me?

Looking to get a tripod in the sub $600 range. Mainly for PRS/NRL. Might use it a little for hunting. At the moment my top choice is the Athlon Midas CF32. Are there any others that would be better or comparable?

Germany's Scholz vows probe into 'very serious' leak of army talks on Ukraine war

A German defence ministry spokeswoman confirmed to AFP that the ministry believed a conversation in the air force division was "intercepted".

"We are currently unable to say for certain whether changes were made to the recorded or transcribed version that is circulating on social media," the spokeswoman said.

The head of Russia's state-backed RT channel, Margarita Simonyan, posted Friday the 38-minute audio recording of what she claimed were German army officers discussing potential strikes on Crimea in a February 19 videoconference.

What are you running, and what advantages does your choice have over the other?

Debating replacing my MRO with a LPVO.

Except for better target ID, is there an advantage in real terms for a SHTF truck gun?

Went to Thunder Ranch a while back wit the Mrs. She was running a red dot, me an LPVO. Hit percentages were pretty close out to 300 yards.

It backfired on this dude. Wasn't real sure where to put this but it'll probably be enjoyed in the pit.

I just got a brand new trigger tech diamond single stage trigger. I installed it on my badger ordnance m2013 rifle. When you run the bolt fast or slow, the rifle will not cock. Just let's the firing pin drop when locking it. I removed the trigger and put the timney hit back in it and it works fine. I took the trigger tech back out and installed it in my remington 700. The bolt will cock if run slow and gentle but if you cycle quickly at all it drops the firing pin. That's two rifles it does not work in. Is there a solution? Am I doing something wrong? I've installed properly 40 triggers with no issues until now. I called triggertech and left a message yesterday but did not get a call back and it's now the weekend and this is eating away at me.

Up for sale is my zco 4-20 with the mpct1. Comes with Aadland caps and a RRS uni-block 1.26 height 20 moa mount, (will get pics up later of the mount)original box and neoprene cover. The scope is in excellent condition no marks on glass or turrets. There is a faint ring mark in the paint that’s hardly worth disclosing. This scope was babied and I hate to see it go but I have a scope addiction.
Sold shipped PayPal Preferred. No trades Will do face time or a phone call to prove its legit.

Edit: scope and mount both come with original box and goodies.

Perhaps some more experienced reloaders can comment.

What is the biggest indicator of producing low SD's in ammo? Is it bullet selection, powder selection(powder burn rate), primers, case fill, consistency of brass, or some combination of the above?

I have a new 6gt competition barrel which is shooting really tight groups on paper, but the SD's have been around 20 for a 25 shot sample size. This is with virgin Alpha brass and a barrel round count around 100. Running 112 Matchburners with 37GN of H4350 behind them and cci 450's. I'm hoping the SD's will drop once the barrel is fully broken in, I'll start load development at that point and perhaps experiment with some faster burning powders behind 109 Bergers.

This is a brand new Dillon RL550B. Comes complete with original box, Strong Mount, cover, extended Primer track bearing plate and items shown in first two pics below. I did install a 9mm caliber conversion and Lee Carbide dies in the tool head but the press has never made the first round.

$650 including the Strong Mount, Dillon cover and any one caliber conversion and dies of your choice listed below. (The total cost of this would be $915 from Dillon) The press will ship in the original box and the shipping specs are 32lbs and 31"L x 16"W x 8"H. I checked shipping from 35951(my zip code) to a residence in NJ via Shipnerd.com and it came to $30.59.

Will take $525 plus shipping without any dies or caliber conversion. Includes Strong Mount and cover.

I have the following Caliber conversions & dies available: 9mm, 38/357, 45acp, 44mag, 500sw. 3rd pic below shows other caliber conversion.

I have several rifles I’ve have that have a picatinny rail, but I don’t know, or forgot what cant they have. Before I order new rings, how can I check what moa they are?

I’ve always wanted a FDE SCAR and I think I might be able to swing the purchase for Christmas 2024.

A few questions first.

I’m leaning towards 6.5 creedmore for more BC and want the 20” barrel. I reload and will be making my own ammo so what kind of accuracy can I expect?

Also, I would like to suppress the gun. I was talking to a guy at the range and he had the exact same set up I want. We both have a dead air sandman S and he was having issues with getting the gun to function correctly. Is this just the way the gun was designed?

What is everyone’s overall thoughts on their SCAR rifles?

Good condition and nothing wrong with it. $300 shipped

I apologize for the couple threads I’ve posted lately, getting back into the reloading game after some time off.

I’m trying to find the lands on a 223 and I just can’t figure this out. I have a smith chambered 223, with an origin action .

I have measured factory ammo (fired) with a headspace of 1.459” (using Hornady comparator), the fireformed brass is nearly identical at 1.460”. I also have virgin starline brass measuring at 1.460” (+\- .001, surprisingly consistent).

It appears my 223 chamber is on the shorter side. No issue there, got it. I have even put a piece of scotch tape on the back of a case (unfired, same match ammo) and it will no longer chamber without resistance. So I’m confident my measurements are correct.

Now comes the part that’s getting me…. Finding the lands. I take a piece of virgin brass (which is very close to my chamber size, but confirmed it fits with no resistance on bolt close) and using the wheeler method, keep seating the bullet back until the bolt closes easily (firing pin assembly removed). The zermatt always has a smidge of resistance due to the gas block, but it’s extremely light.

So I starting seating bullets , get a hard stop, seat it farther, get a hard stop, rinse and repeat. I finally get to a point where the bolt is “mushy” on bolt close. The problem is, it stays mushy no matter how much farther I seat that bullet back. I figured once the bullet didn’t touch the lands, it would close extremely easily.

I took a reading on my Hornady comparator of the CBTO for when the mushiness started, 1.960”. Then made a dummy round for 1.960” just to confirm, and the bolt was at a hard stop again.

I cannot figure this out for the life of me.

I am looking to supplement my department issued .308 168gr FGMM SMK. We are using 20" bolt guns. I am looking for a round that will penetrate mostly glass with more constancy as a secondary round should I need it. I am looking for something that has match-level consistency that preferably shoots similar out to about 200m as our normal duty ammo. Our sniper program is still relatively new and I am hoping to draw from the experience of perhaps a larger or more well established team. Thanks!

Just curious who’s got one or got time on one and what your thoughts are. Will primarily be using on a 9mm pcc but the thought of using it on a pistol and a 5.56 is definitely intriguing. Thanks
