    Federal does it again 😅

    I always like to see innovation, even if it's not going to go anywhere. I'm very curious about this alloy, how can it release a bullet consistently? Will it rust? Maybe even rust in a chamber? Personally, Im not interested in a standard long action caliber. I'm slowly getting convinced you...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Optic cut G19.5 or get an MR920

    I sent a 17 gen 5 and a 43x to wager machine. I'm really happy with how they've both turned out. Fast turn around, cheap and the work seems great. No issues to report. I'm about 1500 rounds in with the g17. Maybe 500 on the 43x. https://wagermachineworks.com/product-category/opticcuts/glock/...

    Suppressors 223 can. Polonium versus OCM5 versus 338 ultra?

    I have a Polonium K that is surprisingly quiet (for a K can). What exactly are you trying to do with this supressor? Is it going on a bolt gun? SBR? SPR/DMR?

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    I just watched a YouTube video where a guy was able to get just the barrel. Is this something we might see in the future?

    20" Green Mountain AR15 Fluted 416SS 1-8 Testing

    Nice, I might have to grab an 18". I've got a couple green mountain barrels for the bolt gun that have shot lights out.

    Big game all-rounder

    As always, shot placement trumps what ever caliber you choose. Shot my bull elk this year with a 6.5cm and 140eldm. Not sure I would have gone smaller but he stumbled and fell 3 yards from where he was shot. Outside of external ballistics, I don't see a reason to go bigger.

    Reptilla Mounts?

    It's in the same price range as the A419 mount, that's what I ended up going with. After seeing the video where they mounted a steel target to a 34mm tube and shot it with multiple calibers. The mount didn't slip. That's insane. I think the reptilia has some more options for top dot/offset dot...

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    Is that just discoloration or are they completely jacked up? Do they atleast have constant BTO? I ordered a bunch of M193 blems.

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    I know it's not powder but does anyone shoot .223/5.56 blems from american reloading? How's the cull rate? This would be for blasting etc. Do they tend to all be shootable or do they need sorting?

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    Here it is. While the consistency may not be on par with berger, it seems like they did a pretty good copy of the profile. Group on the left was the 3 shots after zero at 25 yards. Next (middle) was a standard 5 shot group before letting my son get some hits on steel and playing around at 300...

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    I just loaded up 30 of the 105's with 33.5gr of varget in the 6GT. I'll try to get out between work and sun down tomorrow.

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    I can't remember, is 20 statistically significant? Meplats actually look ok. They are in 100ct bags so I guess that's cool. Here's some numbers. ETA: I just remembered I don't have a bushing for my 6GT die. I'll try to figure out a way to get one soon. Also, my son has a Mule deer doe hunt...

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    It was pretty impulsive. I'm guessing that if I weigh and measure them it'll be impulsive as well.

    LMT QC?

    I'm starting an LMT spr build. I got the upper from rooftop defense and it came with a used 16" barrel so I'll probably give that a go. The machining is a little iffy. Looks like they should have changed their tooling sooner. The barrel also didn't slide in but took some convincing. I'm going...

    Thank you, I appreciate that. What sources would you say are trustworthy and what are their estimates?

    Wasn't responding to words... just Taylor Swift GIFs.

    North Korean Troops fighting in Ukraine

    I think it's worth mentioning that Russian casualties are in the 20,000/month range. The crazy part about this is seeing NK actually try to do something. They want to be taken seriously by the other nations as a real player.
