Any Desert Tech HTI 50 BMG Owners?

Bipods...
I have owned just about every option........ALL suffer form excessive "Slop" IMO !!
I used an F.Class derivative Bipod at one point and the difference was huge ...so i designed and built the example in the pics...it doesn't look "tactical" ....but it is 100& stable....the Atlas Super Cal i had feels like a spindly . wobbly piece of crap in comparison..

Any Desert Tech HTI 50 BMG Owners?

I noticed some pics you posted earlier where you didn't use a blast shield. Is the blast that bad even with the T6 on it?
Without blast shields the T6 does a very good job of mitigating recoil ...the back blast is not terrible, but it is still quite substantial.
I suffer from severe Tinnitus ....so anything i can do to offset its effects prolongs my time shooting..

Some time ago i did a session with the 50 in "Naked " form ....i fired circa 80 rounds that day...well the next couple of days i suffered from severe vertigo and nausea..... the concussive effect on me was substantial !!
With the blast shields i can do extended sessions with the 50 without ANY effects whatsoever ....it might look extreme but it makes it such a pleasure to use..
Just a few weeks back i had a young 12yr old girl fire 20 odd rounds of the 50 at extended range....no drams at all. The young lass will progress into quite a shooter judging from her efforts !!

6.5 PRC loading with 140 ELD

RL26 is not very temp stable either. Any of the double base "super" powders that give way more velocity give up temp stability as a tradeoff. They also tend to torch barrels much faster.

All N5xx, RL26 ect.

H1000 or even H4350 if you aren't chasing speed.
H4831sc is solid with 120-130gr bullets in shorter prc barrels.

Accuracy International AXMC LE vs AXSR

Hi,

I’ve been after a long action AI rifle for a while and am considering buying one of the reduced price AXMC LE models. I’m a big fan of the AXSA short action, so I’m familiar with the older AX ergonomics.

What am I giving up by going with the AXMC versus AXSR, other than harder to fine / obsolete spare parts?

For the people that have had both, what do you like more about the AXSR? Is there any negative to not having the bonded action?

back in the day, they used to take the families of terribly delinquent young people outside the city walls and stone them.
delinquency wasn't a big problem back then.
This only works if a society’s morality is proper. Unfortunately it cuts both ways. If the morality is wrong you wind up with proper people getting persecuted and society suffers. So it raises an important question: is that society moral or is it degenerate? I’m not questioning whether the parent’s culpability, that’s legitimate. But what I’m asking is whether the magistrates are moral in their judgements.

FAFO

Two dirt bags in Houston at 11pm with vests and fake badges around their necks claimed to have a warrant. When homeowner called 911 they started shooting through the door. Homeowner returned fire killing them both.


Why? That’s a closed case if ever I saw one.
