    300 blackout.... whats it good for?....?

    That is a great point and the video holdstillplease posted mentions that too. Really that video covers a lot of the advantages of the caliber. They were hitting 750 meter with a ~9inch barrel (they never say exactly what it is if i remember right) which was pretty impressive. Honestly its one...

    Who makes good inexpensive plated pistol bullets?

    I use X-treme bullets in all my pistols. They make some great plated bullets. I run them pretty fast in my 10mm and 44mag and havent had a single issue with them. They have been having free shipping, 5% off, and 10% off recently. The 10% is usually for specific bullets though (ie like 115gr 9mm)

    300 blackout.... whats it good for?....?

    Supersonic, 110-120gr bullets mimic 7.62x39 ballistics. Hunting wise you'd be good 300-400 yards. For target shooting...people have shot them out to 1000 yards....but really id say 600-800 yards is around my max. FPS is ~2000-2200fps Subsonic , 200-220gr bullets....Hunting wise i wouldnt shoot...

    Where to move to in America?

    Washington allows Short Barrel Rifles but as of right now we dont allow Short Barrel Shotguns. Western WA is nice. You can find some cheap places outside of King county. Weather is generally pretty wild but we do have spells of under freezing every couple years. Same we have 2 weeks or so of hot...

    Any other bad experiences from Aero Precision?

    Aero is a company in it for the profits from everything i have seen. Look into their shenanigans during Sandy Hook. Then their "sales". Myself...i wont buy anything from them due to their actions. To many other companies at the same price points (minus 308 uppers/lower) to support them But i...

    Suppressors Do suppressors make the gun run dirty?

    That been my experience as well. Bolt gun the action doesnt get all that dirty. Barrel gets a decent amount so needs a patch or two more often than unspressed. Semi-auto...definitely dirty. My 300blk suppressed the cases come out just black with carbon. The upper and BCG get a lot dirtier as...

    AI-Great at Rifles/Bad at Building Web Sites

    Their site has been down a very long time. If I remember right it went down when the at and mc lines were announced....so late Jan/Feb? Seems to have taken them a very long time to get it up and running again..... Thankfully though they are not a company who has to rely a lot on their website...

    Sig 522 Rifle - Who has one?

    I like mine. I don't shot groups with it but it is still pretty dang accurate. Plus it uses cheap mags. Blackdog machine ones work great for me and were like 10 bucks when I got them

    Suppressors Have suppressors for pistols but are rifles hearing safe?

    As others I all ways wear ears when shooting. Suppressed or not. Only time I haven't is with a 22 and 300blk unsuppressed and only one shot just to see. Even though they may not sound that loud it is still loud noise. Won't be an acute effect but rather a long term effect. For me anything...

    Suppressors Suppressor Newbie - when to stop shooting?

    Think it depends on exactly what sort of semi auto firing you are doing. 10 rounds in a minute followed by a 5 minute break....you'll be fine. 10 rounds a minute every minute for 10 minutes...might be a bit much. Mag dump after mag dump...not ok. One mag dump followed by a good break to cool...

    Interstate Driving Tips

    number 2 is so true. I have actually noticed if i set it at say 65 ill end up usually in front of the guy going 70 and not using cruise control since they tend to slow down on hills and corners

    Warning! - 300AAC round with Barnes TAC-TX 110gr, will lock and load in FN SCAR 16s 5.56mm

    Im one of the "use special mag" crowd. But take it a bit further. My 300blk uppers all have FDE rails so i can easily tell them apart. 556 is black. Mag wise i tend ot use just a 10 round blk pmag but when i use 30 rounders its a fde for 300blk and black for 556. But more importantly to...

    The rep will also be at the Kitsap rifle and revolver club for a suppressor shoot/demo on (double check it's early!) The 29th as well. I believe silencerco will be there and wynako machine (going off memory but they are in Monroe) will be as well. Also Randy who is one of the main guys who got...

    Suppressed 300blk gas question

    Guess it depends what tumbling method you use. I use stainless steel pins and it still comes out shiny clean even after 7 or 8 firings so far

    Beware Hotel Scam Alert

    Just an fyi but if there is a legit problem with your card the front desk simply calls and says there's an issue and asks you to come to the front desk. It's policy not to do things over the phone if you are already at the hotel. They also don't need the last three security numbers since they...

    Suppressors First supressor's Thoughts?

    The harvester cans looks great. Just keep in mind they are being marketed as hunting type cans. Vs others like the tbac cans are precision oriented. Just something to keep in mind. Not saying the harvester cans won't shoot sub moa but that's not really their intended use either. Though for the...
