    Nightforce scope upgrade - Worth it???

    From what you mentioned I agree with the recommendation to fish around for a used 4.5x27. There's so much more to consider than magnification range. I bet you'll be in optics heaven and have more $$$ in the bank. Be sure to tell the wife how much money you saved!

    super trickler

    NoDopes, thanks for posting those videos! 1. I love the color puce. It will match my toaster nicely. 2. Holy shit, the Superfiller! I never even imagined something like that. That thing's awesome, and I predict that the 'Hide is going to lose its collective shit when that comes out. 3...

    Gunsmithing Rifle vise

    I use an old Wilton that I picked up on ebay for not a lot of $$$ to serve on my reloading bench. That with a barrel vise block is perfect. It's perfect for me. Inline Fab makes a blank QD mount that easily accommodates the vise. Be aware that several "classic" names are now hecho en...

    Bluegrasspickians 82:08 "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's bench top primer seater." Painless, I guess you get a pass since it's not your neighbor's. But you're walking a fine line here. Orkan, even as a lowly heathen I appreciate what you're doing here. Thanks. ------------ My post...

    Thanks for that, NoDopes. I find that watching porn when I'm reloading makes me lose focus on my whiskey drinking.

    super trickler

    That's good to know. It has me reconsidering the ATV4. When you hook this tablet up can it communicate beyond the reloading room? For example, if a computer's left on in the office down the hall can this device link up to it? Can you tell the tablet to only communicate with the ATV4? I'm...

    Is WV a good spot? How "guided" are you looking for?

    Any wannabe tyrants check your shit?

    That's a tough situation, deersniper. You're in the right, but the local "authority" thinks you're not and that they're in the right. Those are two very different perspectives. That situation could go south quickly. Are you willing to share some more details on how you navigated this? It...

    Buddies 22 creed blew up…. Any ideas

    I'd like to make sure I understand this, and I'm unfamiliar with the round. A quick search shows that 4100 ft/s is about 1/3 over the typical speed for the round and bullet weight. So is this like running a 308 in the 3200ish ft/s range?

    300 Black out help. Oblong holes with reloads

    I don't know, but I doubt that it's the barrel because mine works great with 220 grain subsonics. I made absolutely double-damn certain before slapping my suppressor on there. My first guess (I said I don't know, not that I don't have suspicions!) is that some of your rounds are going too slow...

    super trickler

    I'm excited for the Supertrickler because it doesn't rely on a cell phone to work. I'm a grumpy old cuss who doesn't like cell phones. That's the only thing that kept me from the V4, and I was a little worried that I'd die old and alone with an RCBS beam scale still on my bench. Now there's...

    300 Black out help. Oblong holes with reloads

    OP, I'm not buying the "220 grain is too heavy for this barrel" argument. A lot of folks throw 220 grain bullets from a 1:7 twist barrel.

    Release triggers- why not?

    I'm speaking from a position of complete ignorance here. I've never heard of one. Could a person get into a situation where they've set the trigger, decided not to shoot, then have to stand there with their finger on the trigger for the rest of the day? Is there a way to decock the firing pin?

    300 Black out help. Oblong holes with reloads

    Your SD is ~60 ft/s, so your extreme spread is likely ~150 ft/s. That means your slowest bullets are probably coming out a little over 800 ft/s. A good question to ask (and to answer) is "what is the percentage of bullets that are making oblong holes?" If about 20% are making nice holes...

    Shot the front end off dat thing! [kinda]

    Can the slide stop be removed when it's not aligned with the disassembly notch? I shall know no peace until this is resolved.

    Shot the front end off dat thing! [kinda]

    This is tormenting me. For something to move, like a slide stop, that isn't already moving, a force has to act on it. We can't get around that. So what force acted on it? Whatever the force is, it had to be significant unless the slide stop isn't snug. It also had to plop out at just the...

    Shot the front end off dat thing! [kinda]

    1. That's a new one to me. It doesn't make any sense to me, but my knowledge is limited. 2. They do make the take down pins flush. It usually costs more for the 1911, and you need a punch to take it down. But that's my preference even just to make a malfunction less likely (which has never...

    Rittenhouse Trial

    Serious question... When the prosecutor tried to make a big deal about how close the one dude was when Kyle fired, why didn't the defense bring up the 21-foot standard for self defense? The prosecutor made the argument that the attacker was still four feet away so Kyle didn't need to shoot yet.
