Here we go Again! (FSU Shooting in Tallahassee)

Apparently, they're still sorting it out. No real confirmation on the number of casualties but there were some. According to the latest report, there were two shooters. One is in custody and the other was "neutralized" at the scene. Looks like they'll have a presser at about 4pm. We'll see.

Suppressors Mount or direct thread?

I have a fair bit of experience shooting suppressed, but until recently, I've never felt compelled to own a suppressor. I've always thought that shooting suppressed was more of a pain in the butt than it was worth.

I have, however, reached the point where I'm thinking that it doesn't make sense not to invest in a few. In any case, I have a couple of them coming. The big question that I have bouncing around in my head now is the attachment method.

It was my intention to just go direct thread, but the YHM srx system seems pretty cool. In my research, I've run across comments made by reviewers wherein they noted that the choice of mounting system can affect the sound of the report to the extent that it can make the difference between the report being painful to the ear and not.

Have any of you experienced this?

300 yard consistency

Trying to figure out where money would be best spent.. I have a V22 with a 20" barrel that was built 5 years ago. I have a decent range to shoot at that minimizes wind however, I struggle with vertical dispersion shooing center x at 300yds. At best, I'm grouping ~ 2.5MOA. Ive been debating on doing a barrel swap but I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze. 50 - 200 consistently print sub MOA.

I have tried multiple brands and lots of ammo to include CCI green tag wich had the lowest ES of all but prefomed terribly at 100yds. Best prefomer has been center X and MV's show ~1080.

The end goal is to have a rifle that can shoot a wide birth of ammo well. Im tired of chasing lots and buying bricks that ultimaly will never get used not to mention the availbliliy of Lupua seems to be increasingly elusive.

Open to any suggestions to include re-chambering my exisiting barrel.

CHINA IS F###ED

CHINA ON FIRE! Trade War is killing them. Employees have set numerous factories on fire in protests, shipping docks are empty! Tons of inventory sitting in containers…no cars or people anywhere. Deafening silence…Chinese people expecting martial law in wake of rebellion.

Slugging barrels......Don't F'in do things like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The owner of the rifle felt it wasn’t shooting good enough. He thinks the steel isn’t good. So, he decided to make his own bushing and put it on a cleaning rod and push it down the bore to check the barrel. He feels there are tight spots in it. I’ll guarantee you that he scored the tops of the lands. Barrel is guaranteed junk now.
Any lint, dirt, carbon particles etc.... will get forced between the slug and the bore and your going to do damage. Worse yet.... a steel bushing was made and to what spec it was made to and your pushing it down the bore. Nothing but a disaster here.

Nothing in his email about how he’s cleaning it, how many rounds on it… how it’s shooting etc… not to mention what the diameter/spec he made his custom steel bushing to in order to check the bore.

Yes.... No warranty being given.

I'm refraining from using very choice words right now!

ELDM lot-to-lot variation

I'm shooting the 108gr ELDM from a 6mmGT in a Brux barrel. I tested loads with one particular box to check if my barrel liked the bullet - shot 3x 10rd groups around 0.5-.0.6 MOA group size (0.05 - .06MRAD mean radius). Seemed all good, so I purchased 1000 bullets of a different production lot, and now I'm getting 10rd group sizes around 0.9-1+ MOA (mean radius 0.07+ MRAD) with that lot.

This is pretty frustrating, all I can pin it on is lot-to-lot variation in the bullets - the 1K I bought coming from a lot where, for whatever reason, the quality of the bullets is lower.

Anyone else seen a degree of lot-to-lot variation like this?

If that's the problem, what can be done about it? Really hard to test a production lot before buying the same lot in bulk with the market conditions these days

Trump may offer money and a free plane ticket to illegals to self deport.

I'm not wild about bribing criminals, thats like countries paying the Vikings or Mongols not to attack them, and a sign of weakness. I don't like it at all.

However, it might be cheaper and more realistic than having ICE round them up because at the current rate, they're not being captured and deported at near the rate they're reproducing and multiplying.

I'm just afraid it will be large amounts of money spent with half-ass results. How about arrest illegals and confiscate and sell everything they own as an incentive to leave on their own.
