If it has a convection feature and you can set the temp low enough, it should work fine. Thats an aluminum frame and steel slide, so you shouldn't hurt it at 300deg. Or lower it to 200 and cure for two hrs, instead of one.

The RimX for the longest was the underdog. It was Vudoo or bust. When the RimX started to get “modded” recently I noticed an increase in interest from folks who otherwise would have never given the RimX a chance. Just be glad you weren’t around when they first came out and had extractor issues. You’d probably cry. Folks need to calm the fuck down. Zermatt isn’t trying to pull a fast one on anyone or trying to hide anything. Yeah it sucks and shit takes time. I don’t work for them or even begin to know why things changed with production to begin with. Just throwing my two pesos in because I’m on the shitter trying to push out a turd.

Push harder…

Interested in the m&p 2.0 won’t let me message you for some reason

I have been trying to get in touch with Braden at Custom Gun Coatings. @Short-bus

I have emailed and sent PMs.

Does anyone have a phone number or some other way to get in touch with him?

He has had to refocus some of his time due to some family issues. I’m sure he will respond to you when he can.

Honestly, this country has forgotten how to fight. Fight for what you love. Everyone likes to talk a big game but when it comes down to it, western society as a whole has forgot how to fight. Whether it be your country being completely overtaken by migrants, islamists, terrorists, gangbangers, politicians, whatever. You have to fight for freedom and we have all lost our way in that regard.

The process to a fix is easy. Here is how it starts. First you rally up likeMinded people and put a plan together. The you each mail your reps the issues, show supporting evidence, tell them you want it stopped and how these people have no place among western society because they don’t want to integrate and so on. Then you give them a timeline as to when it needs to be remedied by. If it’s not fixed you give a stern warning that if they wont fix it then the people will have to. Entire countries native peoples are being wiped out. Then if it’s not fixed you best stand behind your promise to take matters into your own hands. Now the key is you got to have numbers. And yes, you will have to put in time outside of work and risk losing it all but we as a people have to decide if it’s worth fighting for or not. The time is now. The retired populace amongst us could be some real difference makers. By the time most people realize it’s time to fight, it’s too late. It’s at your doorstep. We must decide. Time is ticking.

I’m all about people coming over here legally and assimilating into our ways. But that’s not what is happening here. It really is about time to mount up.

TTT! Somebody come through for me!

Better terminal performance on body shots, recovered more runners on average than when using mk262. Was hunting with govt guys that were bringing free mk262 to use. Free ammo is always best ammo, but if I’m buying ammo, I prefer to use the Barnes 70. This is shooting at night from short ARs, typically 100m and in, with occasional shots out to 300m. Large groups of pigs, trying to eradicate as many as possible for population control. Not unheard of to go through 100+ rounds per night. If I was shooting steel only out to 600m, I would hands down go with the mk262.

Is it better to buy the barnes tsx or roll your own? I see the bullets available locally and of course the round I have to order....

Mine is at whatever it was when I got it. Not sure where to look but when I turn it on it works and that’s all I care about. lol

That's a good point and attitude.

Update 4-6-2025

First off, I made it back to the range on a day when the wind wasn’t gusting to 30mph and Nosler’s new 180gr 350 Legend offering performed as expected in the PurePrecision 350L coming in at an average 5 shot group size of 1” and average mean radius of .38. I did not shift the turrets during these groups so the software also allows them to be combined. This results in a 20rd group size of 1.49” and a mean radius of .397”. I’m pretty happy with that. It’s velocity SD of 24.6fps and ES of 85.2 fps weren’t great though. I thought I might look through the individual shots and find one really light throw to explain this as volumetric powder dispensing sometimes gets sticky and throws a really light one but that wasn’t the case. There were a number of shots on the far edges when it came to the velocity spread and the ones on the high side were actually early in the shot string so cooking the rounds in a hot chamber wasn’t the cause either. Whether it be due to charge weight variance or some other factor such as case fill or the powder simply being a bit erratic, velocity just isn’t great on consistency. It could be worse for sure, but it’s not great. Still, I think this Nosler stuff is good ammo all around and it joins the Hornady 165gr custom and Barnes Vor-tx on my recommended list. Through the course of my ammo testing in 350L I have found most of the factory ammo offerings to be pretty terrible with many products producing occasional groups over 3”. These three have been the exception to that.


Shooting the new Nosler 180gr Whitetail factory ammo in the PurePrecision SKLTN 350L on a day when the wind wasn’t blowing the targets right off the backer.

Speaking of the PurePrecision SKLTN 350L action, the review I did of it and the altitude stock I did last year will be next up for the video treatment. The Vector X binoculars were on the list for that, and I had actually filmed that review, but it is now delayed because Vectronix is recalling the engineering sample that I had and replacing it with the production version. This will give me a chance to compare the performance with the final FPGA settings between the Vector X and the Sig 10k’s and I want to do that before filming either the Vector X or Sig 10k video reviews.

Lastly, I had a chance to go up and do a site visit video at Kelbly’s last Friday. This includes a walkthrough of the factory as well as a sit-down talk about the actions they have released in the last few years as well as the changes since I did a review of their Atlas tactical action in 2018. It has been a while since I had been able to go up and see Ian and it was great to see how things are going at Kelbly’s. I think they more than twice the machines that they did the last time I was up. They have so many more machines that they have now actually outgrown the main factory building and kicked the 4 wheelers out of what used to be the garage to fit some in there. Hopefully the video has turned out well as this was my first attempt at this type of content.

Why didn’t the fireman get arrested then? Where does it say they went looking for the kid from the night before? Looks to me like they ran into him and Captain Brock lost it.

I don’t think anyone suggested he broke any law, so arrest would be inappropriate. But you can sure get fired by your employer (Fire Dept in this case) if they feel your conduct in public is unacceptable. I don’t really think this quite rises to that level though, and it sounds like his Chief doesn’t either. He’s probably going to get a warning to stay out of controversial videos and stop hanging out with a-holes. I do agree that one or more of those guys should have dialed their Homie back, and for sure not let him board the other vessel. Friends usually try to keep each other from letting their stupidity get the better of them.

Edit to add: based on his history, ol’ Brock needs to listen to a couple ol’ Jim Croce songs (Bad Leroy Brown, and Don’t Mess Around With Jim). He’s a front runner for a Darwin FAFO award.

Wish these were the 12x. Good luck with sale. Great price.
