.308 pressure issue

Found a good load but brass shows pressure signs well below max charge: flat primers, faint extractor marks, and occasional heavy bolt lift.

43.8gr Varget
Berger 168 hybrid
Federal brass, twice fired. Same pressure signs with Lapua.
Federal 210 primers
Criterion 24” 1:10. 250 rounds thru.
2725 FPS

Max charge per Hodgdon is 46gr. Not sure why the high pressure. I’ll adjust the load. Just trying to understand what’s going on.

Optics Sig Tango MSR 1-8x24 with Cantilever Mount NIB

Sig Sauer Tango-MSR 1-8 LPVO with BDC8 reticle, SFP. Horseshoe is illuminated and bright AF, works really well as a QCB red dot with lots of magnification. Huge eyebox and little distortion, way better than the 1-6 Tango. Just went in a different direction with the project.

Scope was mounted and sat on a rifle for one range trip, maybe 20 rounds. Basically brand new. Comes with scope, mount, flip covers, paperwork, battery, cleaning cloth, operator-grade Sig Sauer sticker, and original box. Coyote brown makes it more accurate. Not really, but you'd think it would do something to justify the $100 higher MSRP, lol.

$380 $325 shipped, DM me if you are interested in buying, PayPal FF or Venmo preferred. I pack things well and ship them quickly. Thanks!

Rifle Scopes Razor Gen 3 Turret Lock Delete

Fellas, I’m taking delivery of a second Gen 3 Razor 6-36 tomorrow. I want to send it in, along with my existing unit, for the locking feature delete on both windage and elevation. I have no use for locking turrets, I only shoot for fun.

When Vortex does this mod, what specifically happens to the turret? Can you no longer pull it up? Does it change how it feels? Is it like a vasectomy where it can be reversed in the future?

Couldn’t find any details in the search. Thanks.

Night Vision Battery pack for a thermal aka another stupid question.

Next thermal adventure question for the NV crowd. Looking for an external pack for my helmet. Does the mAh rating matter as far as frying a thermal? Looking at various Anker options so I know that voltage is good to go a 5 volts but will a "bigger" pack do anything bad to a unit. Seeing 10k to 20k options and want to experiment from a counter weight standpoint but don't want to kill a unit either. It's a MH25 if it matters. To my simple mind it seems like more mAh's just means more run time between charges but want to make sure I'm not missing something. Thank you for the advice in advance!

Rifle Scopes New Trijicon SCO USMC VCOG 1-8

Got the new Trijicon VCOG that Eurooptics is offering. This is the SCO USMC version that comes with a scope molle pouch, scope cover, and flip caps. The mounting system is the Larue LT-799 QD. It has a tree reticle in mils. It even has the Bible verse that military issued Trijicon have on them.

“If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.”
-1 John 1:6

First impressions:

Glass is extremely clear, provides sharp contrast and colors. The tree reticle is great and provides up to 20 mils in each direction at 8x. The reticle at 1x feels similar to a EOTech xps. Eye box at 1x is very forgiving and less so as you progress to 8x. The Larue mount is easy to use and can be adjusted by hand. No need for a wrench. This scope is THICCC. Not only is it heavy, it also takes up a lot of space. If your looking to minimize weight this is not the option. This optic reminds me of an Elcan because of how rugged it feels.

I plan to put this on my Scar 17S with a side/top mounted T2 or RMR.

Rangefinding binoculars for archery

I am about to upgrade my Leica HDB's to a newer unit. The ranging on close targets less than 100 yards can be a bit off depending on how reflective the target it. I will get a few yard difference ranging a Morrell field target bale (big round flat target) or ranging the water-resistant target faces that are pretty shiny. They will be used mostly for ranging 3D targets, which all the Delta/Mckinsey 3D targets seem to have about the same sheen. My sons Sig Kilo 6k's do not do this, they are much more accurate at ranging, glass is just no where near the Leica glass. Having a RFB that is more accurate than the older HDB can mean the difference in catching a 12 or dropping into an 8 or a 10. So I am looking at the Sig Kilo 10k Gen2, Leica Pro 10x42, or the Vetronix 10x42. Does anyone have experience using them for archery ? Or even just playing with them at close range ?

THANKS!

Suppressors Liberty Precision Machine Muzzle Brake End Cap

A buddy was just telling me that LPM released their Muzzle Brake End Cap today... looks like they're offering them for their LPM cans, Dead Air & showing the OCL Infinity coming soon. Hadn't seen any mention of it here yet but might be of interest for the PRS/comp guys!

SOLD Optics-ready top end for Glock 19 gen 4

Grey Ghost Precision slide
S3F threaded barrel
Agency comp
Glock recoil spring assembly and internals
Just add sights and an optic, and you’re ready to go. Barely used, maybe a couple hundred rounds on it. Dirty in the pictures, but in good condition. One of those projects I put together, took to the range once, then never took out of the safe again.
$300 shipped, open to offers including trades.

SOLD

Sled for Squirrel Zero?

I am testing ammo with a couple of .22 rifles at short range. I want to have confidence in squirrel head shots under 50 yards. I have been using front and rear bags because I used them in a PRS course.

Somebody suggested using a sled. I hadn't even thought about it. Is there any point in using a sled for this particular goal, or is it overkill for the purpose?

Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?

After turning 40, I decided that instead of a Corvette, I would build my dream bolt gun. No holds bar, I wanted the best money could buy but alas, I have had nothing but troubles with accuracy.

300PRC

x-caliber carbon bull barrel- 1:8 twist 5R 26" with the cryo treatment. This was a blank that I had a local (reputable) gunsmith fit and chamber for me.
Shooting Hornady 225 ELDM and its a 3-5 moa gun. I reload and made a hand load but it only gets slightly better.

I understand a sub moa gun in a 2 moa shooters hands will not get sub moa results.

I also understand that its a game of variables and that if something in the system is wrong (ie contact with the barrel to chassis) it will not have good results.

I have completely exhausted everything I can think of from shooting technique (if I didn;t have another gun- 6.5 prc that shoots amazing- I would doubt my ability to shoot) to ammo to the rest of the gun. I have a barrel cooler (motorized fan) that I let cool the barrel down.

I finally got a bore scope and was pretty amazed at how poorly my throat looked. Does this look like normal throat wear? Or is this a possible manufacturing issue? Or a gunsmithing issue? There is about 450 rounds down the barrel and like I said, I didnt abuse it with excessive heat or hot loads. The gun has never shot well. Below is a image of the throat of the 300 prc. I will also include an image of the throat of my proof 6.5 prc barrel with 120 rounds down it for comparison. Thanks for the help.
