    Suppressors news about NFA trust changes

    BTW... to the OP... if you entitle a thread "News about XYZ" and don't have news about XYZ, but a question mark or make it a question like "Does anyone have any news about XYZ?" I clicked through assuming you had news. You don't. You have a question. Let someone who actually has news post news.

    Suppressors news about NFA trust changes

    This is a bureaucracy, they are not accountable to a court in setting rules.... especially rules as minor as this. There is already legislation authorizing them to write these rules. There is not any mechanism to prevent bureaucracies from writing stupid rules. Stupid rules are the norm. BO...

    Hearing protection?

    Honestly, I have never heard anything like that. I developed tinnitus from a range day where I bought "fitted" plugs but these were fitted not molded. Small, medium, and large is not the same as a custom-molded plug. Foam plugs are effective at blocking out noise. But I have never heard anyone...

    Rifle Scopes Remington 2020 ditial tracking scope

    Bingo! 500 is really intermediate range where wind makes a bit of difference, but is not the deciding factor. Further, you are limited to their loads and their barrels. At least $5,000 is obtainable, but given the limitations, there is not a market here. There are a lot of possibilities with...

    Suppressors How does my monocore look? .22LR

    There you go. Now the caveat to that is that the 22LR bullet shape handles the transition much better than a spitzer boat tail. But when you have to measure group sizes at less than a tenth of an inch, it matters enough that 100 yard rimfire benchresters steer clear of high velocity ammo despite...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Les Baer 1911 with 1.5 guarantee Problem

    It really depends on what you are after. I think Browns are prettier than Baers and have a better fit and finish. I also think that my Baer will outshoot anything out there, so I am not bothered by its cosmetic shortcomings. Personally, I don't like the look of Wilson Combats, but some people...

    BEST knife sharpener I've ever used

    I am absolutely a fan of the Apex and like I said, I am not selling mine. However, if you are comparing the Lansky with the Wicked Edge, you can stop right there. The Wicked Edge may look like a Lansky in that you clamp it in, but the similarities stop there. The tolerances are much tighter on...

    BEST knife sharpener I've ever used

    A ceramic works fine for realigning a blade, but all of my knives need a good sharpening once or twice a year. I actually use my Sharpmaker with a superfine stone for realigning / honing. I also have one blade that was ground convex that I use the sandpaper and mousepad to maintain the blade...

    SMACK the SMILEY FALL 2013 - RESULTS POSTED

    Great shooting guys! Thanks Jason and thanks to the American Snipers. I can't believe I lost the rimfire with a 283. I thought I had a wipeout, but I guess not. Nice shooting, Gremlin. And great work Robert B! This was my best CF score yet, but not even in the Top 5! This is some fierce...

    Suppressors How does my monocore look? .22LR

    Obviously, you don't shoot a lot of 22LR. Eley, RWS, and Lapua, the top 3 22LR manufacturers produce subsonic rounds and they are all more accurate than any other ammo you can get out there (in the match category) supersonic or no. It is true that the 22LR ammo out there that is marketed as...

    Let's talk about precision reloading

    I one-upped that. I got the Whidden free-floating die toolhead. This allows the die to float, which should offer maximum concentricity. I also used the Uniquetek "clamps" to clamp the toolhead in there. Regardless, concentricity average over .004". I was willing to accept going up to .002" or...

    Let's talk about precision reloading

    - Turning case necks I do it because I am anal. Many great shooters have done it without. - Using bench rest primers VS standard primers I use bench rest, but many have tried both and seen no difference. The bigger factor will be which manufacturer. German Salazar theorized you want less charge...

    Let's talk about precision reloading

    I would add a caveat. Redding makes a VLD shaped stem... handy for those of us seating VLD's or (in my case) Berger Hybrids. Otherwise, yeah, Forster is just as good.

    twist rate and 175 grain 30 cal pills

    It depends on which 175 gr bullet. For the vast majority of them, the answer is yes. I recommend getting Bryan Litz's second edition of Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting. It gives recommended twist rates for a variety of conditions. The answer is different at slower velocities at sea...

    BEST knife sharpener I've ever used

    Beware of using anything powered to sharpen your knives. You end up removing a lot of metal unnecessarily and might generate enough heat to ruin the temper. They do make water cooled sharpeners designed to manage the heat issue. The Work Sharp is not one of them. If you don't give too much of a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Les Baer 1911 with 1.5 guarantee Problem

    There are a couple of different philosophies of "gun collectors" and "shooters" with gray divisions between the different types. I fall pretty strictly on the "shooter" side of things. If I run across a gun that shoots, that's it. My favorite gun, I hate to admit, is a 22 that I bought off of...

    Introducing a youth to shooting... what rifle?

    I have a 6 year old about to turn 7 that I would like to introduce to rifle shooting. I really don't like the idea of buying a junior rifle, because it is basically a throw away once my youngest hits 10 or 11. I would rather spend the money on a great rifle that I can restock. I have a couple of...

    BEST knife sharpener I've ever used

    I have an Apex Edge Pro sharpener. It gets my knives razor sharp. I love It and won't be switching, but if I were buying for the first time, I would get a Wicked Edge Sharpener. Both systems don't compare the Lansky or the Spyderco Sharpmaker (which I own). They are more expensive for a...

    It is poor form to ask. Jason's got a lot of stuff on his plate. Be patient. It is a one man operation. He will post when he gets the chance.
