    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    Locking turrets are more user preference. I personally can't stand them and always leave all the scopes that I have had them unlocked. The whole ocular ring moving on the NF isn't even that big of a deal. It's easy enough to move on the NF, I really don't even think about it anymore...

    Strongest bore cleaner available

    Did you look through the bore with a bore scope? I have used just about most of the stuff mentioned in this thread. I could get the barrels clean, but to get it looking "new" clean with no carbon in the lands. I have never been able to do.... nor will I waste an hour to keep on scrubbing.

    212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

    Fireformed 25 cases. These were just normal loads, 44gr Varget 178ELDMs. Compared the same load with Lapua brass. Shot about the same size group, but was 25FPS slower. Did check case volume when I got home, 56.8gr vs 57.1gr of water. Didn't have any kinds of issues in the first 5 rounds and...

    Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

    If your SD is that low, tune with the seating depths. All the components you have are proven to work well in the CM. I personally shoot 42.5gr H4350 with the 140ELDMs at 2800ish. TBH, some of those groups aren't bad. Just tune with seating depth and you should be fine.

    Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

    Have you tried shooting without the suppressor? I have had a few barrels that wouldn't group with whatever suppressor, brake. I have even had it to where a gun would stop grouping in the middle of a session. After many rounds and parts swapping, found out it was the suppressor. Sent it back...

    If Overton Windex made a movie

    One thing they will never get right in movies. It could be a 1000, 1 mile, 2 mile shot. It will always show the target like he is at 100 yards away on with a 25x scope.

    The SH reloading mantra: We start at book max and work our way up! 😂 Fukushima then we work our way up to Chernobyl loads.

    Powder Dispensing Accuracy & Match Dies

    Point still stands. You don't need the .02 of a grain accuracy. I very much doubt anyone could shoot the difference if they were given loads blind. There are just too many variables to worry about that fine of a resolution in charges.

    Powder Dispensing Accuracy & Match Dies

    Just food for thought, benchresters throw their powder charges and they can shoot in the teens. To the kernel accuracy is not going to magically cut your groups or SD in half. Too many other variables in reloading and shooting would be more important then .02 of a grain accuracy.

    If Overton Windex made a movie

    This is why you hire a professional firearms person when producing a show. Bad part is the stupid public will believe in shit like this.

    Will Alpha Dethrone Lapua As The Best Brass Around?

    I wouldn't say I'm super loyal. But same thing just happened again with triggers. I usually always run Geissele triggers on my ARs. Fell for the trap and got a Triggertech 2 Stage diamond. As soon as I got it, I hated it, Trigger bow was not comfortable on the finger, and to top it off the...

    Will Alpha Dethrone Lapua As The Best Brass Around?

    Had some 6.5 Alpha brass years back, lasted 3 reloads and they were toast. I hear the new stuff is a lot better now. At least I have a nice to case to use as a consolation prize. Lapua has run the same load for years. But given the choice between the 2 with the same caliber, Lapua all day.

    212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

    👀 308 Lapua brass, 6.8x51 Hyrbid, necked and sized, and 6.8x51 out of the box. Have 25 prepped, just going to fireform this weekend with normal 308 loads. Would eventually like to see how well they do with some of the heavies. I have 200.2, 208ELDMs 215s Bergers and 225ELDM. I think the last...

    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    More companies should make AW compatible actions. Feeding rounds from a AICS mags feeds and sounds like garbage. Then you have some of the crack smokers out there that prefer the AICS mag over the AW mag. Those are the people who think Leupold is a top tier scope.

    New to bolt gun thread, question about AI based on use case

    Most of the time we shoot at CCC in Navasota. We usually go Sunday mornings.
