Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

So, if I'm seeing this right, they are just popping out clones of SMK and Bergers now. Theory is that if you have difficulty finding what you want in stock, you just get an Aeromatch bullet and you can use your same load.

Super weird though.... I guess bullets aren't protected IP unless they are patented. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding this product.

As a result of growing demand, SOK recently onboarded a new team member - Tyler (@tam4511). We're excited for the knowledge and expertise he brings to the table.

A big thanks to the Hide community for making this possible!

New Member from IL

Hello everyone, name's Erik. I shoot NRL22 and PRS rimfire in the Chicagoland area (Great Lakes region for PRS). I've been shooting in the airgun division, and finally got a rimfire this year. Dual threat and all :)

I've been reading the forum since I started this hobby, and always found the content quite informative. Lots of the guys I shoot with are members here and have recommended users and vendors for gear and advice. I figured it was time I jumped in.

Looking forward to getting to know the community!

The cheapest low backpressure cans?

Login to view embedded media
Rex Silentium is known for being a great value in the suppressor world; I have and enjoy a .308 MG7K (my first can, actually). They recently came out with a low backpressure line, and I just got one thanks to @romad99. These are just my first impressions, so stand by for the full review. I’m definitely optimistic on this one, because if it truly is “ultra low backpressure”, then it will definitely be the cheapest on the market, especially with the BF sale they have every year.

Scope for Hunting Rig

I have a 6.5 PRC that has worn a Mark 5 3.6-18 since I bought the rifle. I sent it in to have some work done this winter and have since moved said Mark 5 to a Bergara B14r which I really like. I had originally looked at buying perhaps another Mark 4 for the 22 and moving the Mark 5 back, but I have since decided to explore another scope for my 6.5 PRC.

I am leaning heavily towards an ATACR 4-16 of some flavor for the PRC. If I had to pick right now id likely choose the 4-16x42 option. There is some benefit to an SFP 4-16x50 variant when using low power at dawn and dusk, but then you loose out on the benefits of stable reticle sub tensions at different magnifications.

The major question of this group is are there any other scopes I should consider? Not opposed to another Mark 5 but id like to try something else. NX8 2.5-20 has some merit, but a lot of people say it struggles with optical quality and a tight eye box at high power.

Rifle use is deer/big game to 500 yards. the 3.6-18/4-16/3-18 power is a good fit for what I am doing with it. Tube size does not matter, I dont mind some weight for quality glass and tracking but I dont want a 3lb club either.

Appreciate your responses!

TT 3-15P vs Kahles 3.5-28

Does anyone have any experience with both of these two optics? I understand the TT will have excellent IQ, and the Kahles should be good enough, but my main concern is eye box forgiveness, especially the minimum power and at 15 power for each.

Euro lists the TT’s exit pupil as being 11.5mm on its minimum magnification. Kahles lists theirs as having 7.4mm. Does this equate to the Tangent as having a more forgiving eye box, or is there more to this than the exit pupil?

And The Hits Just Keep On Coming !

Anyone for a bit more D.E.I. ?
