    Fuck Yeah! I know where my next tube is coming from! “...the proof is on the inside.” Wonder where that’s directed lol :cool:

    The struggle is real... Kahles vs Carbine

    I sure as hell am not made of money. But before I got married and had kids I bought pretty much what I want. Not so much anymore. If I want something cool I pretty much have to get rid of something else that might be cool to get it. I have a good peice...

    Sunwayfoto Leveling Base

    Has anyone here played with one. Bison Tactical has them at a decent price. Wondered if they are half the product to RRS at that price or potentially a good buy. Been kinda set on universal RRS leveling base but just exploring all options. Maybe have...

    Slings, vtac vs Vickers slings any thoughts

    I have a plethora of VCAS padded slings. BFG and LAV hit it on the head for a sling that transfers well a cross all platforms. I’m sure there are better slings for each specific use and like said before I’ve never found the perfect sling that I absolutely love, but from my LR bolt guns, HD and...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I’ve never shared my room in here. Nothing special, but it’s a decent little escape. I just finished up loading up my standard 6.5cm load and I saved back 30 cases to play with inspiration of Scott Satterlee’s newest PRB articles and Modern Day Sniper Podcast on bullet jump. Basically just...

    White oak barrel vs ?

    I have a 16” middy WOA 223W barrel. Last time I shot it I was pulling 3/8-3/4” groups at 100 and ringing C-zone IPSC steel at 700 yards. One of my favorite AR’s I’ve ever owned.

    Europtic Tikka TacA1 and Vortex deal WOW

    It is a good deal. Vortex’s turrets and reticles I believe are both true MOA. I’d much rather see someone buy something like this than spend the same money on a lesser setup just to be able to say they have a MIL based scope. Buy and shoot. Even if you end up wanting to sell and upgrade to...

    How much jump is too much? Will it cause damage/throat erosion if too long?

    Will have no ill effect. If anything it would be better for it but that’s probably splitting hairs. In the podcast Satterlee says he had a 6CM barrel do something like 2300 rounds before he replaced it and never changed seating depth. It was still shooting well but it repeatedly coppered up...

    Expander mandrel use with a Redding type S die

    For my 6.5cm I use the lee decapping die then Redding type s die set and remove the expander ball. Then I use a Sinclair expander mandrel after size. The bushing in the die I believe is .002 smaller than the mandrel. Ever since switching to this I find I get a much more even seating pressure...

    PRB Bullet Jump Article

    Yea I kinda wished they would have showed chrono numbers but either way. I guess they used more or a ladder test method but imho that’s all the Satterlee method is just minus the target and strictly looking at the speed.

    PRB Bullet Jump Article

    They pretty much did in that article but i definitely think that it would have to be done at distance.
