    College baseball is here!

    Oh man, it was 2 outs nobody on and now star closer Curtis just beaned the batter and loaded bases in bottom of 10th.... ...and an infield single wins it for Vandy. Sigh. How quickly things can turn. Congrats to the Commodores. Great game. Should be a fun CWS Championship.

    College baseball is here!

    oh geez, Parker French struggling, loaded bases up again. But hey, it's only the first inning.... ....and UT escapes with only letting one run score.

    Congrats! Hope Parker French can keep those Vandy bats cool for one more game. Would very much enjoy a Texas vs Virginia Championship.

    Lehigh Defence 174 grn Controlled fracturing Load

    ***notice: semi-necro-thread resurrection*** Ok, we loaded some of these up (see pic). 10.0gr of A1680 got 1040fps out of my 10.5" SBR AR. Shot four piggies at ranges from 40 to 100 yds. Small sample size I know, but we didn't notice anything dramtically different compared to 208gr Amax...

    Suppressors Subsonic Suppressed Hunting Rifle

    Well anyway..... I finally got around to loading up some 300BLK Lehigh Defense 170gr "Controlled Fracturing" rounds (see pic). 10gr of A1680 kept them subsonic out of my 10.5" SBR AR (and my buddy's 14.5" SBR Rem700). BTW- these rounds gave him a tough time feeding in his bolt gun, I had no...

    what good is a spotting scope without a decent (front focal) reticlue

    whew, hopefully not 10,000 hours....but your point is well taken. Those necessary hours of tradecraft certainly overshadow the short time of flight from muzzle to target. Back to reticules & testicules (for the OP): - it (a reticle) is just another tool that some might turn into a crutch. With...
