Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

Phantom Defense is also using the NAS cases. I picked up a few hundred 556 77gr TMK rounds. Advertised Velocity is 2900 fps (18" barrel). I have only tried them in my 26" Bolt gun and got 2995 fps average 5 round 100 yrd groups averaged .66". I bought it to see how it works in a 14.5 AR but haven't had a chance yet. Actually Pretty happy with it.

Not gonna buff out

Yellow signals “Fall Risk”

We call em Detox Rebocks. 🤣


Sorry yer dinged up man.
Seeing a lot of these, you are lucky!
Will pray for you, a solid recovery, and focus on the things that matter.

Bacon and black coffee are a good recipe towards feeling better and healing
Yeah I don't get the fall risk. Maybe from the pain meds . I got up yesterday and just started walking the Ortho unit ..
Love me some Bacon . Actually got coffee this morning . Sweet Brown nectar of life .

Ukraine war Bullshit.

It seems you are not on the topic of minerals at all.
They are practically everywhere. But not everywhere agrees to extract them due to the high labor costs and environmental damage.
And the Trump mineral deal is something completely from the show industry and not for state needs.

No. We are trying with all our might not to lose.
But there are opinions that on the 23rd during the counteroffensive, if they had given everything that Zaluzhny asked for, we could have talked about the beginning of the end.
Syrsky already wanted to go to Kursk then.

How many more aid packages do you need?

Figured out what us 2020RF Springfield owners need to do to fix them.

At 100 yds, a 1" 10-shot group is about average for PRS Rimfire gun/ammo combination.
That said, for testing rimfire, 50 yards is a bit better than 100 as you start to get enough environmental effect at 100 to bias results.
I was planning on testing it at 50 as well after how poorly I felt it shot at 100. I know most people test 22lr at 50 not 100. But I guess I was over confidant. It was also a little windy that day as well. I edited it down a lot but you can still hear wind gusts hear and there.

I still feel like it shoots very well.

Hopefully this gives hope to some of the guys that bought one of these and are not happy with it, that they can remedy it with a barrel swap but may have to buy a tool or two to do it.

Also I order the blank and there is a spot it is touching the stock so not completely free floated but I don't think it makes that big of a diff on 22lr. Though I do plan on clearance the stock to see.

Also I don't claim to be a great shooter, I just like making barrels. I am sure someone else could get it to shoot better.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Damn. You're a real genius.
The ink wasn't even dry when I wrote about this a few pages/days ago and today you got the "news".
We have a local forum where they're arguing about the tactics of this case.
But it seems like real experts don't post there.

Has Ukraine won yet?

Or do they need another aid package to ensure victory?

308 Winchester AR Only

Anyone work with BLC2 in 147-155gr range? I bought some during the 2020 dry up just to have some extra powder. Only time I've used it so far was loading some 222 for a friend. Shot tight in his gun.

Tac has been working well for me with the 150 Hornady FMJ, for a cheap blaster load. 10 rounds into a solid 2 MOA out an AR 10. Still I want to try BLC2, I want to see just how tight I can get these 150s to shoot (mostly just like tinkering with loads).

Bottom group is 43gr of Tac under 150 FMJ, LC match brass and CCI 34s

7mm Mauser loads

Searching for acceptable loads for classic hunting rifle in 7mm Mauser. Rifle built by Dennis Olson in Montana. Nice rifle but not having much luck finding a load it likes. Suggestions?
I have had good luck with 139 grain Hornady interlocks and h4350 slightly downloaded in a sporterized 1895 Mauser. 154 grain SST's with h4350 showed promise in one of my 98 Mausers but haven't finished load development on that one.
