What can be done about this..

I was given 500 Hornady 308 168 hpbts. They are in the old cardboard boxes amd had been sitting for quite some time. A good number of them have some kind of crap on the noses, as in the photo. Some have actaul mold on them.
My question is can I do amything about that? Most of the heads are clean I have been shooting them and find I am getting wide and or high shots. Is that common with heads like this?
Thanks for any help

Heads up. Seemingly excellent deal.

I’ve ordered to check it out for this price. I’m not affiliated, nor know much about the brand but $370 out the door!

Is Color.... tacky?

Thoughts and opinions on painting or doing a cerakote on your rifles.

I was originally going to go a two tone black/FDE look but now I am thinking I want to do something a bit different. I don't want to go with super bright shiny neon colors, of course, but I have seen some VERY tasteful cerakote rifles online and wanted opinions to the matter. My idea now is a titanium blue for my lower/upper/handguard with black everywhere else.

What is the general consensus from the AR-15 group these days on coloring your rifles?

Too Many Barrels... I Am Lost

Firstly, I am new to the forum and I thank everyone here for spreading knowledge to one of my favorite hobbies. That said, I am very lost on my first AR 15 build.

I am NOT new to the platform. I have a Stag and a M&P but this will be my first Frankenstein. So far I am going with Aero upper and lower, BCM BCG, Blackout Defense trigger, Stngr handguard, I think I have some good stuff in the basket. But here comes the part I am just STUCK on... Barrels.

I really had no clue just how diverse the barrel world is and I am not afraid to admit that I am stuck. Here is what I am hoping to find... 16" barrel, 2lbs and under to keep it lighter, 223 Wylde chambering, will be using this for possible courses and bench shooting so I would like to a do a bit of everything well if possible. My wallet cap is probably around $350.

So far I have in mind the Criterion Hybrid Rifle Gas, Odin mid length, BA Premium fluted, Rainer Ultramatch Mod2, Faxon Match Flame Fluted.... if I am missing any to consider please let me know. I neeeeeed your thoughts and opinions because I am hovering my finger over the buy button on everything else right now. Much appreciated!

Bug Eating being Normalized

So everywhere you turn... they're pushing the normalization of eating insects. Nova on PBS... new books. Endless pushing on TV, Facebook, etc.

My reaction has always been... "Screw that... my ancestors didn't claw their way up from the primordial ooze in order to subsist on crickets."

However, I have changed my mind after seeing a six-legged critter that I think is going to revolutionize insect eating!!!

Ta-Da!!!

Think about it! Extra meat? Six legs makes it an insect, right?

Heck, if they can breed a spider version with 8 legs... think of the extra roasts, chuck, hamburg, steaks, etc. we could all enjoy! Not to mention a boom to the glue industry. Look at those extra hooves!

I think we have found the future of insect eating. Six legged beefers. I am so for this!

So I’m looking to step up my glass on my primary 22 for PRS seeing as I’m running out of elevation before being able to dial past 350yds. I’ve currently got a athlon ares BTR gen2 and it’s clear enough but it’s lack the elevation adjustment I need and the image seems a little dark, I’m looking at replacing it with either XTR3, Rzr gen2 or the wildly popular strike eagle, I’m currently running a Rzr on my centerfire rig but will to switch it up to have matching reticle with my 22.
