.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.

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?

Optics WTS (2) 5-27 ZCOs + ARC M-Brace Mounts

I have 2 5-27 ZCOs for sale. One has MPCT2 reticle and the other is MPACT3. These have the 15 mil locking turrets. Excellent condition and I wrap them right out of the box. I removed wrap on the one as it had been listed previously. I also have original boxes.

ZCO is going to raise prices again so these are a great discount.

First one to say I’ll take one gets the WMLRF bridge for free.

$3650 to your door.
