    Supresors and bad influence

    So true. Most new buyers seem to want one can that does everything - and then end up disappointed it doesn't do anything really well. I did the same (with my second can, first was a .22 Outback II and definitely a good choice), got a Liberty Mystic back when those were pretty new - it's pretty...

    Supresors and bad influence

    People should stop with this "forever purchase" mindset. You're paying an extra $200 on a $500-$1500 suppressor; that doesn't mean it has to last forever or that you'll find the perfect can the first time. Unless you have the opportunity to hear and handle a lot of new suppressors in person...

    Suppressors Dead Air…

    Have you heard a comparison to the Polonium-30? I'd expect slightly more noise (it seems to be the same size and weight, just bigger bore) but the tradeoff in versatility may be worth it.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Dilemma

    I've carried an optic mounted Glock (19, 17, or 21) AIWB every day since 2012. Hard to believe that's been 12 years ago already, but time marches on. Anyway, a few thoughts: - Definitely mill the slide; skip the MOS stuff, it's not good enough. It's not about looks, it's about rigidity and...

    Suppressors Barrel size for 35 whelen and a 9mm brake.

    I've used those 225 Partitions for nearly all of my Whelen hunting, and they're an excellent bullet, but dang it Nosler has gone nuts on their pricing of them now, same with the 225 Accubonds too. Of course typical Whelen loads are right in the ideal velocity range for traditional cup & core...

    Garmin Xero C1 Chrono - Ghost shots when cycling bolt (22lr)

    Just a guess but if the rifle moves when you cycle the bolt (maybe you slam it closed and it jolts the rifle forward, for example) the Garmin radar is moving as well and may be picking up motion from that and thinking it's a shot. Naturally if it's tripod mounted rather than on the rifle, the...

    The New MDT Field Stock

    Uh, that’s what I said. Better read it again instead of trying to correct me. Again, this stock does not have bottom metal. The trigger guard is a molded part of the stock and there is no floor plate because it uses detachable magazines.

    Next level fudd

    I always thought that was a stupid argument, about as dumb as it gets really. Gotta love the irony of this thread title, then dragging out one of the most common Fudd arguments to prove it... LOL I won't volunteer to take a .22 to the chest either, doesn't mean it's a good carry round. I...

    I'll see your BDUs and raise you a fishing vest AND cargo pants! :ROFLMAO:

    6gt

    If that's how it's working out in your barrel, go for what works for sure - a lot of it depends on the velocity range you are looking for. That pretty well illustrates what I said about no one powder being optimal - if your goal is lower velocity with small SD, then a faster burn rate like...

    Not at all. Just trying to figure out what you were talking about. At first glance it looked like a poorly considered objection to our comments about velocity of a specific load, but on further consideration maybe you just mixed up which member we were talking to?

    35 whelen precision mic set

    Sounds like you're talking about the typical unsized section of the neck from partial FL sizing. That's an old school accuracy trick, since the unsized part of the neck helps center the loaded round in the chamber neck. Not commonly seen online these days but it's given me some nice accurate...

    Best Semi auto 22 pistol as Supressor host?

    The whole Ruger Mk I-IV series is quieter than most of the competition because the bolt is contained inside the receiver with a relatively small ejection port, not because the bolt is "smaller". In direct comparison to the Buckmark, the Ruger series has less port pop and the bolt inside the...

    Best Semi auto 22 pistol as Supressor host?

    On the 3 I have, I noticed new out of the box they wanted full power (i.e. high velocity) ammo with the stock spring. Use some stronger ammo to break it in, and/or get a reduced power Volquartsen spring and guide rod. That'll help a lot with the softer subsonics anyway. Also, some of the mags...

    The New MDT Field Stock

    To me "bottom metal" has always meant the floorplate and trigger guard - so no. Trigger guard is plastic and there is no floorplate obviously. But the whole stock is molded around a metal center piece that the action mounts to, and the magazine slides up through. That metal piece is exposed on...

    What's the best performing 223 AR load/bullet if you had to choose one?

    Thought I'd comment on this again since I was just at the gun shop this afternoon - no 8208 right now, but they had a bunch of Benchmark (as well as lots of H4350 and a bit of RL16 which I haven't seen in a while). Hornady's 75gr BTHP over 23.5gr of Benchmark and the old S&B primers (wish I...

    What's the best performing 223 AR load/bullet if you had to choose one?

    It's been around here and there. I've bought it a couple times over the past year or two. Benchmark was out recently too, which is very close to 8208 (just one step faster burn rate) and usually works well in the same applications.

    There is no "optimal" powder across the board for any cartridge. It just doesn't work like that. If your H4350 load was slower than your Varget load with the 112 MB in 6GT, then your Varget load was at higher pressure. End of story. That may be what you're after, but it'd be a mistake to think...

    6gt

    I'm trying to figure out how any of that is relevant to the discussion about that particular load? Not coming up with anything that makes sense, other than maybe communications got crossed somewhere. If you go back and look, I and 406Shootist were replying to WyomingShooter, but you seemed to...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Why would you use Lever if not near the top end? That what it's good for; if you want milder loads there are better powder choices for that. Choose the right tool for the job.
