Yep, I'll continue the wait and see course of action.

Bingo. Often stated, rarely followed. Whatever it is, whatever purpose it serves, I've done without it for all my life. I can, and will, wait.

Based on Frank's discussions, this isn't the first time it has happened with this brand and model of can, with short-ish 338LM barrels. I have great respect for this specific brand and model of can -- it's on my short list for an upcoming purchase. It's my understanding that both the core...

In a course with Lowlight this summer, one student shot a 338LM, with a barrel of roughly that length, with a can. It seemed like an inefficient use of the chambering to me. From what I recall, his windage holds weren't much different than mine with a 26" barrel 6.5 Creedmoor. At least out to...

Earlier this year I took an AR-15 with the NSX Compact 2.5-10x32 MOAR to a course at Rifles Only in Texas. After a quick refresh from Jacob and Todd to eliminate a bit of my sheep-dip sloppiness behind the trigger, we went to the tower for long range work. I was able to spot my own impacts...

This was an abso-frickin'-lutely great class. Frank and Paul did a great job. Cliff notes of lessons learned: - T3 Ranch has a boatload of options for distance, direction, terrain, and wind to challenge anyone's precision rifle skills. - Frank opened my eyes on reading wind and making wind...

Stupid is as stupid does.

+1 It's the difference between a rifle that shoots in the field and a mouth that shoots on the web.

Woo-hoo. The ski season is still going (barely) and Rifles Only is coming to town. Life is good. Jacob & Lisa -- looking forward to yet another session, after that amazing Carbine Helicopter Assault course in Kingsville.

I have two single stage Wilson Combat triggers in existing ARs, with a third trigger on order. The break on these triggers is crisp and clean, with no creep. The reset is short and positive.

Unfortunately no, my AR doesn't look much like a boar's head. Furthermore, I didn't have any steak for Corona, so all she did was try to stay out of the wind and try to get everyone to scratch her belly.

Two weeks ago I zeroed at 100 yards two AR-15s with Hornady VMax 55 in Colorado, at DA of 6,000'. This past week I took them to Rifles Only and they both were still zeroed at 100 yards with VMax 55, at DA of 1800'. There probably was black magic involved, and I think it was caused by Corona...

A Toyota Tundra pickup truck pulled the space shuttle a few hundred yards over a freeway bridge, because the bridge couldn't support the combined weight of the normal shuttle towing vehicles and the shuttle. Did the pickup truck do the required job, as narrowly defined by the weight...

I have two ARs with Wilson Combat barrels -- 16" 1/9 twist with maybe 3k rounds and 18" 1/7 twist with maybe 1k rounds. Both barrels will shoot 1 MOA or less with a number of factory loads -- mainly hollow point match (SMK), Amax, and VMax bullets. Both barrels seem to tolerate various bullet...
