    anyone tried one of the new high rate of fire triggers?

    I'd say quite a few. I ordered one last week and my order number was 3604. I would imagine they sold quite a few after shot show as well. If I keep my place in line, I'm looking at May before I get it...

    Suppressors 556 vs 762 can on a 7.5" 223

    You guys realize that there is no metal known as "Hoplon", correct? If you google it, the word refers to a Greek shield. Nothing magic going on here. My question refers to the bullet vs. bore diameter and it's direct effect on suppression, bore wear, back pressure etc.

    Suppressors Why are you impressed by the Saker 762?

    For the AAC, you need access to the rear of the can to take it off. That poses a bit of a problem if your barrel is 3-4" under the handguard. The Saker is one handed for their Trifecta mount and with it being a compression mount with the three retaining tabs it should be much better than any AAC...

    Suppressors Bushing or Bull barrel for Supressed 1911

    On my 45 springer, I had a storm lake fit and use a standard bushing. I've not looked in to re-barreling my 9mm 1911 so, I don't know what's out there. I run a nielson device for my 1911 and glock.

    Suppressors 556 vs 762 can on a 7.5" 223

    I received a reply from AAC stating my SD is only rated for 10" and longer. So, the hunt for info is still on...

    Suppressors 556 vs 762 can on a 7.5" 223

    Well, I have a 7.62 SD (older 18T) so, I just sent AAC an email. If they tell me it's GTG, I'll throw it on and blast away.

    They both are. That's why they're under consideration.

    Suppressors 556 vs 762 can on a 7.5" 223

    I've always been of the belief that using a 308 can on a 223 is more than good enough and certainly more practical. I now have a 7.5" 223 upper that's going to dish out more abuse than my 308 can will take. I had my mind made up and was going to call my dealer this week to get a 556 Saker and...

    21st Century Neck Turning Lathe

    I use their lathe. I find there to be a tad too much backlash when adjusting the cutter. Once you get it set, it's fine but, if you need to back the tool off, it's a royal PITA to get exactly where it needs to be.

    Neck turning and chamber sizing

    If you have Neil make your dies, he'll send you dies to start loading with. Once your rifle is built, you fire a couple pieces of brass 3 - 5 times without sizing and then send the brass and sizing die back to Neil. He finishes the die and Viola! perfect die for YOUR chamber. My chamber is just...

    Neck turning and chamber sizing

    I had Neil Jones make my custom FULL LENGTH SIZING DIES. Excellent craftsmanship. Be forewarned, they take a good bit of time to be made.

    Sept Rayners LR steel plate match

    Despite the lack of rain today, we still had a good time ;). This was only the second time I've made it out there this year but, I'm looking forward to next month already. Congratulations to Jim B. for a new course record on a day where they could only shoot at the 5 pointers at 995 due to a...

    Rifle Scopes Are you selling your current optic to buy a Beast?

    No. I can't see it doing anything better than my PH's and I got rid of a Razor because of the TALL turrets!

    300 RUM.... Now what?

    I'd just work up a load for it using 210 or 215 Bergers, 208 Amax or similar and shoot it. It will perform out to 1000 with out any issues. Once you wear the factory barrel out, come back with your questions once you have a better understanding of what you want the rifle to do. Just shoot it...

    Rifle Scopes 5 vs 10 mil turrets

    I don't know of anybody that counts clicks. My issue with my 10 mil Razor was trying to dial right to 7.7 mils. The physical spacing on the turret makes it difficult to look at the turret and figure out if you're at 7.6, 7.7 or 7.8. There is a slight amount of backlash as well which compounds...

    Rifle Scopes 5 vs 10 mil turrets

    I fully agree that there is a benefit in a high stress match environment but, the OP is talking about shooting on a piece of property with more distance than he can hit anything. No match, no stress.

    Rifle Scopes 5 vs 10 mil turrets

    I had a 10 mil / rev unit for a brief stint. I didn't care for it. I couldn't quickly figure out exactly where I had stopped. The lines are too close together. If they made the knob as wide as it is tall, I don't think the issue would exist. I would imagine the turrets on the 5 mil would be much...

    I had a great time getting the rifle out again. Didn't really matter to me that I couldn't hit everything I wanted to. Congrats to the holy grail of 400 being shot on Saturday!
