6.5 Grendel

CFE223 gets more speed, but XBR8208 is the easy button.
Is the general consensus that CFE223 is the easy button? I’ve got TAC which I’m still working on, but use mainly for “bulk” 77 grain 556 as well as some 308 loads. For precision 556 and 308 I’m using N140. I’ve also got some H335, but my initial trials werent as easy as I’d hoped. Is it worth grabbing CFE223 so I’m only trying 1 powder?
I initially thought the Lehigh 110 match made sense, but I’ve struggled to get adequate speed and acceptable groups. I saw a lot of positive results with Lapua Scenar 123 so I bought about 800 of those and will be using them.

zero shift--muzzle devices

Shouldn't see much at all unless you screw up clocking your ST brake. That doesn't guarantee you will see zero shift though.

A good rule of thumb for when you mess with *anything* is to shoot a round or two to verify zero. Otherwise you have a much higher probability of being able to share a 'one that got away' story... or becoming a member of the "add another tenth" club.

For you sky watcher fans out there... a star just went NOVA... no Telescope needed

No offense to the OP, but media hypes the shit outta this and its acutally very un-spectacular. Magnitude 5 is one of the darkest/dimmest stars we can see. It'll be tough to pick it out unless you really know the stars and are outside the city (and prob need binos)


This is why "the science" hates "the press"

also F that N dg Tyson dude. Pluto forever!

Yeah, Black Science Man sucks.

And as for it being faint... yup. But it's there. And you don't get many visible ones in a lifetime. So it's geek-worthy.

On the subject of BSM... he ain't no Carl Sagan. But he thinks he do!

Buying a plane after retirement

May see you out there. Havnt been in some time myself, but it’s close and decent for what you get.
I agree. Pretty much all i do there is true dope. Some positional training for some new folks. Used to be a member but they cater more to clays and shut the range down for that so as a paying member i was fed up with not being able to shoot when they closed it. Been qualified since they extended range to 850.
