    Interest in AR600 Targets?

    Re: Interest in AR600 Targets? Sounds like you need a connection with a company that actually uses the material in their process. I'm sure they have plenty of small and odd sized drops that could be used for your smaller targets. Of course the problem is that they don't want to bother with...

    Brass gash, should I shoot it?

    Re: Brass gash, should I shoot it? That's the way I'm leaning. I found this picture of a sectioned piece. The neck is typically around .015" so based on that picture the wall should be around .040"±. It will be interesting to see if the brass flows enough for it to disappear after one...

    Brass gash, should I shoot it?

    So I was tumbling some .338 Lapua brass and while adding them I noticed there was no movement in one area. Apparently the stars aligned and between the outer wall and the central cone/stem two pieces wedged in there so that the mouth of one dug into the other. The gash is a little over .150"...

    Wired.com - Accuracy International Article

    Re: Wired.com - Accuracy International Article Not a bad article for a tech mag. I'll be interested to hear the real world reports of the AX and the chassis system when more are in the wild.

    Re: AADMOUNT Rings Available Just received my rings today. Nice work on these, can't wait to get everything mounted and off to the range this weekend. And thanks for the forethought to include a torx bit along with the typical L wrench. It's nice when a company goes above and beyond the...

    Rifle Scopes FFP reticle issues

    Re: FFP reticle issues Not mounted yet, set to mechanical zero. In the end I don't think it's going to be a big deal. When you're actually concentrating on shooting these little living room nitpicks tend to disappear.

    Rifle Scopes FFP reticle issues

    Re: FFP reticle issues There may not be more lenses, but because your reticle is in the first focal plane it has to travel though more lenses to get to your eye when compared to a second focal plane. Section view

    Rifle Scopes FFP reticle issues

    Since first focal reticles have more glass to travel through to reach your eye aren't they more likely to be distorted by any issues with the lenses? I received my SWFA 5-20 and after adjusting the diopter the reticle never seemed quite sharp on max power. This was more so towards the outer...

    Interest in AR600 Targets?

    Re: Interest in AR600 Targets? I'm thinking of making a set up that I would need to hike into position, so any weight savings would be appreciated. What's the weight per square foot in AR500 and AR600? From your weight savings I assume your AR600 plate would be 3/8" think instead of 1/2"...

    Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

    Re: Remington 700 bottom metal *new pics* How much material do you typically need to remove for dbm bottom metal? Once you've done it would it prevent going back to the hinged magazine, aside for aesthetic issues?

    "Shooter" on Honeycomb Tablet

    Re: "Shooter" on Honeycomb Tablet I have a nook color rooted and running cyanogen mod. It looks fine on mine, but I'm not running honeycomb. There isn't a lot going on graphically so I don't think it should be a problem.
