    Semi-Auto Rifle Grip Techniques

    I always wrap and use the grip like it was intended, especially on the large frames as it provides consistency and more control of the weapon system. It allows for correct grip and finger placement to properly manipulate the trigger. When I see others who do not, they are usually hiding flaws...

    PT Improving ruck times

    I dont know what is worse, moving or doing ruck marches. I have not done ruck marches in years. One thing I did do to help ease some of the pain back then, well it was painful to do, but made it easier on the longer ruck marches, was 35 lbs ruck and do 5 miles in 1 hour. No running, and that...

    Rainier Ultramatch or Wilson Combat Barrel?

    I have two Rainier Ultramatch 308 large frame barrels, when they used Shilen. They flat out hammer. My one barrel I have over 9000 suppressed rounds through it, fire cracked like a burnt piece of wood, copper trails embedded in the rifling, but still spot on with accuracy with factory match...

    Loading 300-WM and 300-PRC with non-magnum primers

    I have used F210 in both calibers with H1000, H4831SC, no issues. I have no data to compare with Mag primers

    Night Vision My first NV optic, a PVS-27

    Nice set up, and I am jealous. As already noted, running that close to muzzle with brake will be a issue. If you do, use a surefire flash hider, or equivalent, they really do a great job in eliminating flash. Quite a number of ways to address this. I think you have your plan though. Measure...

    Accuracy expectations from chrome lined barrel

    I say it depends on the barrel itself with delivering precision. I don't have that particular barrel or done any research on it. I do have 16" Noveseke double chrome lined, and a recent Stag 20" chrome lined, and they both stack 55 FMJ super tight. I would not worry about chrome lining as a...

    Mega Receivers now available

    Awesome, and about time! Not that I need more since I have sets to build yet. Yeah, cost is a bit more, but once some get to retailers, might see some better prices. I still would buy it at that price since these sets are spot on and worth every cent.

    Cold Welded Bullets in Neck

    I remember reading about this in the past and not following up on it. Wondering if anything new has developed about this. I have not experienced any cold weld. I live in high desert at 5500' elevation. Wet clean with stainless media and anneal. I usually annealed after cleaning. Using this...
