    Athlon helos 2-12 alternative

    It's funny that you mention it. I have and use a Athlon Helos 2-12 on a 6.5 Hunting rifle because I wanted adjustable parallax and a illuminated largish reticle for use on game, when lighting is dim. On the other hand I bought a Trijicon 2-10x36mm for my AR 18" barreled MK12ish Clone for...

    Which twist rate should I get?

    5.56mm chamber 1-7" twist. Wylde chamber was built for shooting 80 grain bullets for National match work. An AR pistol and National Match don't belong in the same sentence, much less the same chamber. And yes, count me as one who doesn't buy the 1-8 Twisted 223 Wylde Chamber as a some kind of...

    A Small Rant about AR mounts ahead of April Fools Day

    I'm not sure this will do, as it does come in 36mm. But it's not very cantilevered though. However, the picture shows a K328i mounted in the rings. Area 419 Tactical One-Piece Scope Mount

    Berry tumbler question and fine grit stuck in flash hole

    Sorry, It wasn't clear to me that's what you were doing. 😟

    Berry tumbler question and fine grit stuck in flash hole

    Maybe try one of these: Lee Decapping Unit or if Lee products are too cheap and not to your liking: Redding Decapping dies They're magic. You can decap your brass and then clean it & your primer pockets, all before actual resizing.

    Berry tumbler question and fine grit stuck in flash hole

    Again Orken maybe an asshole of the first order, and deserving of your sophomoric jabs, but the fact remains you used the wrong rice. Nishiki Rice is a larger grain rice and won't get stuck in your flash holes or cause impactions.

    Berry tumbler question and fine grit stuck in flash hole

    I don't know what kind of Rice you used, because it does make a difference. I get no rice of the kind I listed stuck in the flash holes on both 5.56mm or 6.5 Creedmoor cases, which is all I use nowadays. Since you use a disparaging name for Orken I can only assume you have a personal animus...

    Aadland cap question...

    I can't confirm that they will fit, but Aadland doesn't like to waste space. Hence he has separate listing for the Viper PST 1-6x24 and the Razor 1-6x24. I just bought scope covers from him, for my Credo 1-6x24 and they were listed together with the Credo 1-4x24, as one listing. Look that may...

    Reloading Setup finally finished.

    Your setup looks good, but your location in the garage leaves much to be desired, unless it has it's own climate controls. I tried reloading in a garage once. It was unbearably hot in August, froze you nuts in off in January, and powder once opened was affected by the uncontrolled humidity...

    What's the Go-To 223 Brass Now?

    I use Starline 5.56mm Brass with complete satisfaction. It is currently in stock. #3440 - 5.56x45mm Brass (Small Rifle primer) Years ago Starline brass was much heavier than say LC brass by several grains, and care had to be taken when swapping known safe LC loads into Starline 5.56 brass...

    A Small Rant about AR mounts ahead of April Fools Day

    So I just bought a nice Trijicon Credo 1-6x24 FFP Mil Red, all of 19 oz of it. And I got it for a steal of a deal. That aside, I knew I need some new 1 piece mounts that didn't weigh a ton, so I let my fingers do the walking in the digital marketplace. And while shopping my angst was aroused...

    Powder Dispensing Accuracy & Match Dies

    I've gotten my best performance from mix and match Reloading Dies: Lee Collet Dies for Neck Sizing Redding Body Die for full length sizing of the case below the shoulder, but not size the neck at all. In Micrometer Seating Dies, I like the RCBS Matchmaster seating die or the Forster Micrometer...

    Upside down reloading tray.

    Buy two 50 round aluminum trays for less than $60. and now you have a place for 100rds. 6.5mm Creedmoor Ammo Reloading Block Solid Aluminum 50 rounds Fabrication Warehouse I've bought many aluminum trays from this vendor in a variety of case sizes. Remember a fool and his money are soon...

    Upside down reloading tray.

    $94.99 is pretty pricey for a "reloading tray". But it is Marine veteran made so it will last "forever" or just mere minutes if a Marine Grunt Lance Corporal gets ahold of it....YMMV

    Rosco barrel accuracy expectations/problems

    And I just ordered a Roscoe 16" K9 Barrel & Hatchet to replace my Gov'ment contour 16" SS Aero barrel that is a poor shooter.

    Upside down reloading tray.

    OK, buy a MTM Case-Gard RS-S-50 for around $6.00. Cut the top off, and presto you now have a 50 round reloading tray that will hold 6.5 Creed and .308 Winny rounds case down, and still let you pluck them out by the rims. Do not buy the one made for the 308 or 6.5 Creed as they set an upside...
