Sent in 600 pieces of .308 brass for reloading with 155 Scenars back in December 2012. Currently waiting for a tracking number. No order number as I sent in the brass with an order form and a check. Order arrived in 13 June 2013. —Andreas

Re: Looking at a Mark 6 1-6 TMR... Thanks for the hint—I found the 1–6 TMR-D picture. The link on Leupold's product page also now works. Looks like the segmented circle is 2 mils, or about 7 MOA. That seems fine. Time to start saving my shekels…

Re: Looking at a Mark 6 1-6 TMR... This scope with the TMR-D and the USO 1–4 DFP are both at the top of my list. Does anyone have photos of the TMR-D reticle that they could post? It looks like the crosshairs are open in the center and that turning on the illumination reveals a dot there. I'm...

Re: Hunting with suppressors in Georgia: 2013 edition I just wrote my reps and Gov. Deal asking them to support this bill. This is a case where everybody wins. Hunters would get a great option to protect their ears while still hearing everything going on around them. The general public would...

Re: Deciding between TBAC 30P-1 and 30BA. Help.. Is there an advantage to the muzzle-brake mount in that the brake's baffles provide some blast shielding for the can's baffles and slow erosion?

SB 93 would allow hunting with suppressors in Georgia: link. Call or write your reps to urge support! —Andreas

Re: Steiner 4-16 or 5-25x56 There's now a 3–15x50 offering the MSR reticle. No word on availability or pricing that I've seen.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle Not a fan for the same reason that I don't like the reticle in my SWFA 5–20x50: the sizes of the features aren't obvious. The ranging setup off to the side looks fine. I'm 99% sure that the scope that replaces my SWFA will have an MSR reticle. That design floats...

I hadn't come across the Steiner Military 3–15x50 before. I'm guessing it's a new scope, essentially a scaled-down version of their 5–25x56. Same dual-turn indicator and option for the MSR reticle, which I like a lot. It could be a good match for my .308 bolt gun. Any word on availability &...

During the 2012 session, the bill permitting the use of suppressors for hunting never made it out to a final vote. Has anyone caught news if it's to be re-introduced this session? —Andreas

Re: Starter .30 cal can? Here's one data point… I'm running a Ti SAS Arbiter on my AI AW .308 with the TOMB mount that was installed by Mile High Shooting. The rifle groups as well with the can as without. POI shift is a repeatable 0.1 mil left and 0.2 mil up. It's quite comfortable to shoot...

Re: denials using a quicken trust I've three stamps in my collection thanks to a Quicken trust. In fact, the NFA dealer (Bullseye in Lawrenceville, GA) through which I did my Form 4s happily draws up such trusts for customers at no charge as part of their excellent customer service. —Andreas

Re: Decibel level of a suppressed, supersonic .308? I'm also interested in this one. I regularly shoot my 20" .308 AI AW with an SAS Arbiter can and no hearing protection. I haven't noticed any discomfort while shooting or ringing afterwards. Now my 16" AR-15 is another story thanks to...

Re: 26" vs 16-20" .308 I have a 20" barrel on my AI AW. Southwest Ammo 175 SMK: 2580 fps Southwest Ammo 155 SMK: 2790 fps PPU 147 FMJBT: 2845 fps I got my rifle with the folding stock and picked the 20" barrel so that that it would fit a Pelican 1700 with an SAS TOMB installed. —Andreas
