    Bimetal / hybrid cases chew up chambers below the 0.2" line, ask me how I know.

    Auto "wax"...

    I went down the detailing rabbit hole a few years back. Short story is waxing doesn't seem worthwhile compared to ceramic coating available these days. I've ceramic coated six cars now, trying out different coatings. Best done when brand new or following paint correction so you aren't locking in...

    Tikka T3x ACE target vs Game

    You'll want the target version then. I love Tikkas, but do your due diligence though, cross shop the Aero Solus and a Zermatt Origin build as well.

    Tikka T3x ACE target vs Game

    For what purpose, hunting, competition, plinking? The other difference is the magazine well, the Target uses the CTR magazines vs factory plastic in the Game. The CTR mags are great, but you're limited to short action cartridges. The chassis is so heavy you're not going to really notice the...

    Surefire ICAR

    Hmmm. Just got an alert that the blem C-6.8 lowers are available, and only $43. But the uppers don't exist anywhere, even the product page is 404 on NFA's website. Edit: nvm I didn't read the page correctly, their G4 G2 uppers work for both 6.8 pattern and 5.56, and are the replacement for the...

    Precision Rifle Gear Tricer RP Bipod

    I have one and like it a lot. Not as fast as a triple pull of course, but seems as solid and at a third the price and half the weight it's a no brainier. I was using it high sitting without a rear support and was hitting 18" steel at 1k without a problem.

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    I don't disagree, but it's very very nice as is. I shot with it on my 12 lb (with can) 6.5 Creed yesterday and it was doable to spot hits at 200 yds in awkward positions.

    6 ARC Gas Guns

    I got 2490 fps in an 18" AR with 26.7 gr N140. That's a near max load. I tried Staball Match with no luck, really slow. Didn't want to go CFE or LVR. Not fast, but those bullets are fantastic. Edit, sorry the 106 TAP, not A-Tips.

    338 ARC

    Why do you think roller delay would be better at reducing port pop than gas delay? I haven't heard that e.g. a HK53 or ZF-56 is any quieter than an AR platform.

    Seeking Low Back Pressure .30cal Can (so many choices)

    If you read Pew Science's article on his Omega term, he lays it out very clearly. I was able to go through the Silencer Summit data and pull Omega values out, and confirmed the values were very close to what PS reports. Basically you measure the slope of the initial impulse, and take it's...
