    Training Courses San Diego Course Precision Rifle September 2025

    Could someone from out of state, non-LE come to Ca and bring their can? Since Ca has sooo many laws/rules/roadblocks? Kind of conflicting between you and @waveslayer

    Excited To Start A Sniper Rifle Collection From FL

    Cool, I like the M14 rifles. Prefer the "classic" M14 based sniper like the M21 or Port Security versions vs the newer EBR.

    American Reloading MP424 or MP425 powders

    Update to the various MP powders listed as "Similar to AA2230". American Reloading responded to me in an e-mail that they were all the same bulk powder, but different lots as @RegionRat suggested. Therefore they assigned a different number to each. Thanks

    American Reloading MP424 or MP425 powders

    Cool, thanks. Just curious on the different numbers. Both 424 and 425 say similar to 2230 and wondered if there is a difference between the two or if it's just different lot numbers. Regardless, it sounds like it will fit the bill for the intended purpose.

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    Eh, 2-1/2 MOA is my best ability with a sling/glove/coat and wobbly elbow at 5 or 600 yds with good ammo...

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    If there weren't benches to sit on, then 99% of shooters in America wouldn't even be able to shoot at all......

    Wild ES with Tac 223 Load

    Not that this is related to your SD's, but an extra step that is working against you. The neck tension at .002" is insufficient for semi-auto. Just use the factory expander button that gives .004/.005" neck. Dillon dropper sometimes need polishing and "tweaking" the springs and assembly to...

    Wild ES with Tac 223 Load

    Sometimes lower charges that don't sufficiently "fill" the case lead to inconsistent ignition.

    Don't call 911!

    So it sounds like the "victim" tried to bitch-slap someone in the crowd and all hell broke loose? Yeah, no surprise there....
