    Knife sharpening for dummies

    Have done Lansky guided diamond stones, good Japanese wet stones, Work Sharp belted tool and have pretty much settled on this setup as a high performing tool at reasonable price. Had to add some additional diamond stones, and some excellent clamps from TS Prof, but net sharpness coming off the...

    Never sell an accurate rifle….

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Would be very interesting to see a comparison of an identical load using once fired (in same gun) Hornady, Starline, Lapua and Alpha brass. Should yield some interesting data, though would think you’d want to keep case weight variance as low as possible. I have Hornady that can weigh 115gr +/-...

    AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! FIRE ANTS!

    And why the quail crop in South Texas has severely diminished over the last 40 years.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Just curious if Alpha holds their unfired brass to the same base to shoulder measurement as Lapua and Starline at 1.179-1.180. That’s quite a bit of case stretch when most of my chambers run 1.1895-1.1905 ish. Hate having to burn 100 rounds in the fire form process, and don’t quite understand...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    Have an LRTSi 3-12 I won’t let go of-shame Bushnell never could realize how good the LRHS/LRTS lines actually were. And if not mistaken, believe Marsh may have indicated GLX 2.5–10 was due to release later this year with some upgrades. What form those upgrades take are, as yet, unknown.

    6.5 Grendel barrel suggestions

    Don’t have any experience with Satern button barrels (1:8 twist), though the two cut rifled 1:8.75 twist barrels are two of the most accurate and consistent of 7-8 different mfg barrels that stay in pretty constant rotation. That said, a 20” Wilson Combat shot a 5 shot group at 100yds yesterday...

    MPVO for Tactical Games Thoughts/Recommendations

    Anyone know if these guys were at Shot, or seen/handled this one in the wild? Until C_Does mentioned this on his channel, had never even heard of Vector optics. Any real US presence? Do like the possibilities of the reticle, however.

    Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled

    Am of the opinion that the Deka or Athena may be the more useful for my applications, and I do like the Griffin in GLX 1-6 and PLXC 1-8, though the Neptune ‘appears’ very busy-maybe too much so to be applicable for gas gun usage. Decent field of view, turret quality and solid IQ throughout mag...

    Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled

    @koshkin or anyone else at Shot who could run by Primary Arms and weigh in on the reticles on both of the PLX long range scopes. Those of us who have shown interest have spoken our unsupported opinions without having stuck our face up to the lens for a real view. Trying to remain optimistic...

    Anyone use Silica Gel Packets-Desiccant Packs to keep moisture out of powder?

    I use the throw away desiccant packs in any new powder container to attempt to regulate the RH of product, and my SD’s are generally in single digits. Having said that, do see some volume vs weight variation over time with same settings on Redding powder throws. And I have no way to measure RH...

    AR Take Down Tool

    As necessity is mother of invention, in finishing off 5 identical 22 ARC builds on V7 receivers with very tight fit, had to provide takedown tools for their new owners. Could not find the original one in center, so cobbled simple nylon pins from 5/16 x3.5 nylon hex bolts, tapered using Dremel...

    Revolver load .357 plated in 9mm?

    If you want a certain answer to your question, slug your bore with a slightly oversized slug, and same with each cylinder throat. Ruger has tightened up tolerances in cylinders, maybe-maybe not in barrels. I picked up a 5” GP100 that has good throats, an off center forcing cone and good barrel...

    MPVO for Tactical Games Thoughts/Recommendations

    Glass As you mentioned the reticles for new PLX 2.5-20, what is with the boxing around tree in Neptune reticle, and is the Athena G2 supposed to mimic the Griffin in a way? Cannot see if the center is dot or chevron. Sure would like to see a through the scope view, as I really do the the PLXC...
