Loggers Inn, Like I said earlier, I don't know anything about NV equipment. I was hoping to find something to mount behind my EO Tech or a stand alone gen.2+. My budget as a LEO just won't allow for the set up you have. What is the D-740 I'm reading about on these posts? BTW, I'm North of you in...

Thanks rotortuner for your reply. Here is the problem. For once in the few times in my life I'm trying to research a subject that I know absolutely nothing about. It's not like you can go to your local sporting goods store and actually do a hands on comparison. I have to trust the knowledge of...

I'm in the same boat as the original poster knowing nothing about what I need, other that I need something NOW! A few nights ago, 3 yotes got with-in 50 yards of my house and tried to have my prize beagle/rabbit dog & good buddy for dinner. The only thing that saved him was 5 rapid shots of #4...

If you go to Bryan Litz's book, you will find a section about bullet yaw. Long range shooters call it "having the bullet go to sleep". As I said in my previous post, the load that shoots 1 MOA at 100 yds. very well shoot .5 MOA at 300. I haven't experienced this as I'm still waiting on my first...

Thanks for the response. I've heard from several sources that shooting BT bullets can cause a yawing effect resulting in a baffle strike. This made sense to me as a long range shooter because the groups that are poor at 100 yds. but have a low extreme spread will generally shoot well at 1,000...

I'm very new to this forum and trying to obtain all the knowledge I can. I've already ordered my 1st can and have a question for the OP. Were the bullets that you were shooting at the time of failure of a boat tail design? Thanks, Lloyd

Maybe I should say I'm a "newbie" to this forum and the type of shooting and related equipment used. I'm no stranger to shooting as I compete out to 1,000 yds. sling/prone on a regular basis. I'm putting the finishing touches on a 300 Blackout build and for the last week, I have read articles...

I’m really new to the suppressed game, so all the advice I can get is greatly appreciated. I have a Rem. 700 short action with a .473 boltface. It’s currently chambered in .308 but the bbl. is getting really long in the tooth. So I’m thinking about re-barreling it with a 1-8’ twist and...

Another member suggested that I post here to get more useful info, so here is where I'm at so far. OK, things look like they are moving along at a good pace. I have now located the proper bolt for my receiver and a barrel is nothing but a phone call, now where do I find a reamer. I like the...

Re: Newbie needs answers OK, things look like they are moving along at a good pace. I have now located a bolt for my receiver and a barrel is nothing but a phone call, now where do I find a reamer. I like the idea of the "blackout" but I don't feel like paying full price just to chamber one...

Re: Newbie needs answers I should have been a little more in depth. I have a complete rifle with a scope, all I'm going to need is a bolt with the proper face on it, a barrel and dies. What does everyone use for dies? Also, don't I need a trim die to do the 1st forming?

I would like to build a 300-221/300 whisper. I have a Rem. rt. handed action but the boltface is .473, and a bunch of 223 W-W brass. Other than that, I'm at ground zero. I'll be using a 1-8'twist bbl. with a can but I would like any info anyone can provide for everything else I need to get this...

Re: 30 BR, is it a good choice for a suppressed round AKA-Spook, I'll probably run a 22" bbl. so I'm not fighting a muzzle heavy rifle. This will be a dedicated system, so I'm not overly concerned with the ability to shoot an elk "way out yonder". 220 gr. bullets still deliver 450+ ft. lb...

Re: 30 BR, is it a good choice for a suppressed round Thanks for all the data. I think I'll stick with the 30BR, that way I can always just swap it over to my 308 if I want to. Same bolt face as the 308, and I have plenty of 30 cal. bullets sitting around.

Hello all, I'm new to the world of suppressors and wondered if anyone has suppressed the 30 BR cartridge. It has a low powder capacity and given the correct twist should shoot 220 gr. bullets well. It is on of the top BR cartridges, and uses a SR primer. It would also be a lot simpler to make...
