    6.5 Grendel

    ARC and 8208 are pretty scarce, no doubt. But ARC and 4350 cover a lot of what I shoot most often, and have put some of each away for the long term. Cost averaged I’m probably at about $375/8lb for ARC. If you play it in terms of managing powder inventory, I can do with a stash of two rifle...

    6.5 Grendel

    If you’re having issue with accuracy with 120/123 Scenars or Sierras, I have had excellent long term success with AR Comp. Somewhere between 26.8-27.2ish is good for 2475-2550+, depending on barrel lengths of 18-22” and just how fast a barrel actually is. 2550 all day long in 20” Proof, single...

    KNS Precision

    I’m pretty sure a lot of us, especially AR crew, have/do/will use the excellent products from KNS Precision in Fredericksburg, TX. Most of you are not aware they’re sitting plumb in the middle of a very windblown 8600 acre wildfire that erupted yesterday. Their status unknown at this moment...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Proof in the production batches, and perhaps other mfgs might follow suit. I guess I’m one of those who allows it to get under my skin for my AR’s. Regardless, glad to see another quality producer out there-continuous improvement always welcome.

    K-Bars Montana knife company

    I have two of their fix blade knives. Yes, they’re either Magnacut/highly polished or 52100/coated. Either laser cut or water jet cut blanks, shaped, treated and finished/sharpened. No idea about blade hardness. Yes, mine are small, capable, though will say quite overpriced, relative to...

    Knife sharpening for dummies

    Have done Lansky guided diamond stones, good Japanese wet stones, Work Sharp belted tool and have pretty much settled on this setup as a high performing tool at reasonable price. Had to add some additional diamond stones, and some excellent clamps from TS Prof, but net sharpness coming off the...

    Which AR15 to keep?

    Never sell an accurate rifle….

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Would be very interesting to see a comparison of an identical load using once fired (in same gun) Hornady, Starline, Lapua and Alpha brass. Should yield some interesting data, though would think you’d want to keep case weight variance as low as possible. I have Hornady that can weigh 115gr +/-...

    AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! FIRE ANTS!

    And why the quail crop in South Texas has severely diminished over the last 40 years.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Just curious if Alpha holds their unfired brass to the same base to shoulder measurement as Lapua and Starline at 1.179-1.180. That’s quite a bit of case stretch when most of my chambers run 1.1895-1.1905 ish. Hate having to burn 100 rounds in the fire form process, and don’t quite understand...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    Have an LRTSi 3-12 I won’t let go of-shame Bushnell never could realize how good the LRHS/LRTS lines actually were. And if not mistaken, believe Marsh may have indicated GLX 2.5–10 was due to release later this year with some upgrades. What form those upgrades take are, as yet, unknown.
