Just put together another 6.5 Grendel upper. 12” barrel, 15” handguard. YHM R2 suppressor…

From what I have read the bullying happened years ago during boot camp and a little while afterwards. Like back in 2017 or 2018 and most of the people saying anything about the stuttering knew him then. Nothing I read talked about anything recently. Maybe some was happening but not from what I read.
With the coverage by media being more propaganda than actual facts I will wait for an official statement by him or whatever comes out in a real factual investigation

Gives me something to watch again.
No quarter.

2016, Michigan Sheriff gets out of his car and Sig P320 goes boom. It happens at about the 1:20 mark. His jacket is in the car, as are his keys, there is a a Conservation Officer witness too. The Deputy has one hand on the steering wheel and one on the door before the shot.

Some new information on what could also be part of the cause:

Apparently if you reassemble after field stripping and put the slide on with the takedown lever not rotated down it puts the sear on a sort of skinny engagement with the striker.

So you reassemble after a cleaning, put the slide on (takedown lever up) and rack the slide….sear is barely holding the striker. The takedown engages the sear because “OMG we can’t have people pull the trigger to field strip that might have a UD” and it pushes the sear when rotated down. So you put your newly cleaned P320 in your holster, and later the slide moves a little, releases the striker and you have a hole in your car seat if lucky or your leg if you’re not.

20 moa base should be fine.

Terminals depend on bullet choice here... a 300 or 350g hard cast is going right through a deer out there pretty damn far... a light for caliber hollow point probably not. Subs at 500 yards is generally tough simply due to SD and variation in the rounds. You gotta really be on your game to get it consistent.

It can be done, but man its a pain in the ass before you start dealing with the drops and wind. It's like you're starting out behind the curve I guess is what I'm saying.

Powder and bullet choice? Need to choose wisely here. Not sure how your case fill is gonna be, and that can play hell right off with shots out there past 400 yards. Will need to find a bullet/powder that gives good case fill.

Inside 300 yards is doable for sure without Hercules level effort... sometimes you get lucky, but i prefer 200 yards and closer for most subsonic stuff, especially hunting... closer is better and what those rounds do best. Expanding subsonic and big wide flat noses do well.

Agree with what you are saying. Expect shots at 150 to 200 yards. Will go to my PRS range and see how reliably I hit at 300 and 400 yards. Have steel hung that is 12", 10" 8", 6" and 4". That will tell me how effective I am with that rifle & a subsonic cartridge.

I am concerned about the velocity variation. At 300 yards, if the velocity is down by 30 FPS (1020 FPS) the change in drop is 4.8". At 250 yards, the drop changes by 3.3" and at 200 is changes by 1.7". That is just elevation. Maybe a realistic hunting limit will be closer to 200 yards. Again, will be shooting plate to find out. If nothing else will be fun to see how I do at extended distances. Ultimately my maximum hunting distance will be defined by 95% hits (including cold bore) on a 6"plate.

Will start by shooting Hornady factory ammo. I don't have any brass and I'll spend as much on the components & brass as I will buying a loaded round.

The subsonic round has a advantage of a much better BC. Past 200 yards the 250 grain bullet will have less velocity variation, but be much more sensitive to wind. In addition, the 250 grain, 2200 FPS load is VERY destructive on a deer size animal - a lot of meat damage. In that regard, the subsonic will have plenty of energy but far less meat damage.

You should definitely check the energy on target at those ranges with subsonic ammo but should be no issue putting a 20 moa base on any rifle as long as the scope has enough elevation to allow you to zero. What scope is it?

Click to expand...

At 300 yards I am calculating 875 FPS & 671 Ft-Lbs of energy. This is for a 395 gr. Sub-X bullet leaving the muzzle at 1050 FPS. Although under the 1000 Ft-Lbs threshhold that many use for deer sized game, think it should be enough for a bullet starting out at .452 and expanding from there. As much energy as what a 44 mag would be hitting at a ranges less than 100 yards which has proven to be effective on deer.

The scope will be fine for travel - it is a Vortex 2-10 PST FFP.

@PatMiles What is your drop time? The original V4 without any upgrades ran 12 to 15 second drops without issue fir me. I have a bunch of not yet releaeed MK upgrades and get 8 to 10 second drops now with my V4. I can run it faster but it starts overthrowing a lot. Curious what the V4 does with the IP.

Click to expand...

My drop times run between 8-10 seconds and at .02 grains 99.9% of the time. This is fast enough and accurate enough to keep me happy. The drop times without the IP trickler were around 14 seconds but the accuracy was constantly .5 grain to 2 grains over which had me plucking grains. Once in a while a big overthrow, 3,4,5 grains would happen and you could hear the small tube trying to stop but not able to in time to save the drop.
I firmly believe the IP trickler design is superior to the small rotating tube used in the V4.
I am happy with the drop times and accuracy with the V4/IP trickler combination and don't think I will invest in the IP dropper when it is finally released.
I do have a V3/IP trickler coming which I will play with but I don't think I will be keeping it. I bought it just out of curiosity and at a price that I will be able to sell it at in a heartbeat.

If you want to to pull brisket like pork butts then you will need to do brisket till about 180. Put in a foil pan add some beef broth 1 1/2 cup at most depending on size, onions and about 1/3-1/2 stick of butter, cover it with aluminum foil and put back on smoker till temps get to 205. rest it and then start pulling.

If you’re gonna do that, might as well use chuck roasts instead of brisket
