    Razor 4000 at night?????

    Ok, I’ve not used a rangefinder for years. On a whim I bought a Vortex Razor 4000 and just walked outside minutes ago to give it a try. To my surprise it does not work at night!? WTF? It gave me a reading of over 2k yards on my neighbor’s garage door across the street. Trying to range down the...

    6mm ARC Brass Forming

    22”, 108 ELD-M, 29gr Power Pro 2000-MR, COAL 2.245” (I have no idea how much jump that is, I haven’t measured it yet but that’s max with the Amend2 mags).

    6mm ARC Brass Forming

    I finally made it to the range with my 6.5 Grendel to 6 ARC hand loads. They shot great! Starting load was averaging 2609 FPS, single digit SDs. Best group was .52 with average right at .75. My AR marksmanship needs some serious work and I know the gun would have done better if I was better...

    CCI #41 Primers

    I’m starting out with Power Pro 2000 MR. I have a few pounds of it. I also have some 2520. Both are ball powders and on the slow side I believe.

    CCI #41 Primers

    Awesome! Thanks for all the replies. I guess it was a good buy after all.

    CCI #41 Primers

    Well crap, another case of me not doing my homework. I was able to pick up two boxes of CCI #41 primers today at my LGS. Since BR-4's are non-existent I thought I would give them a try in my 6 ARC (Uintah bolt action) that has yet to arrive. To my surprise they are considered magnum primers...

    6mm ARC Brass Forming

    Good point. I will do that. The sectioned cases look good. No thinning to distortions that I can see.

    6mm ARC Brass Forming

    Well you guys were right. It was pretty straight forward. I took 25 Lapua Grendel cases (4x fired) and sized them for 6 ARC. After sizing I had to trim them quite a bit and I noticed some neck wall variations so I turned them, annealed, then steel pin tumbled. I’m going to cut open two of them...

    6mm ARC Brass Forming

    Is it possible to take a 6.5 Grendel case and neck it down to 6mm ARC? As far as I can tell the parent case is the same as the Grendel and the shoulder is only set back on the ARC .030" from the Grendel. If it is possible, is it simply done by running a Grendel case into an ARC FL die? I've got...

    Suppressors 6mm Saker?

    I’ve got a couple of older but unfired 5.56 Sakers that I doubt I will ever use. Today I found a Saker 5/8 adapter in my pile of suppressor junk. Anyone know if a 6mm Creedmoor can be fired through a 5.56 Saker? I have no doubt the suppressor can handle the pressure I’m just not sure about the...

    Howa Bravo Bolt Knob

    I just picked up a Howa Bravo in 6 Creedmoor for my son. So far it looks like a nice beginner's or budget rig. However, it comes with an obnoxiously large bolt knob that we both don't like. Anyone know what the thread is on this or a source for a new knob that will thread on? He has been...

    Case rim separation?

    The boltface has no corresponding markings on it. The gun is a Desert Tech and it is a little hard on brass but I've never seen this before. After some thought I agree, the web of the case is solid and these marks are well below where the solid part of the case head begins. I think I'm going to...

    Case rim separation?

    I'm at a loss as to the cause of this and I'm shocked I didn't notice it while I was loading up these rounds. I was shooting today and while I was checking for signs of pressure I noticed these rings around the case head. Every round in a lot of 100 looks like the one in the pic. My first...

    Night Vision New to current NV, first purchase

    Last question. What are the bungees for on these helmets? I noticed the team Wendy and Ops-Core both have them.

    Night Vision New to current NV, first purchase

    I don't know anything about this brand. But then again I don't know much about any brand of helmet. What kind of deal are we talking?

    Night Vision New to current NV, first purchase

    Well I just got what I think is a pretty good deal on a new Night Optics PVS-7 gen 3. The dealer is a friend of mine and he needed to liquidate some inventory due to a divorce. Got his last one for 2K out the door. It came with the goofy headgear but I think I'm going to get a helmet for it. Is...

    Suppressors Which of these recomendation

    The Harvester and Cyclone is a fair comparison. Unless you're sure you will need a big bore in the future I would not pick the Titan. I have a Cyclone and it's a really sweet can. I'm sure the Harvester is good too but if it were me I would really add the 30P1 to your list for consideration...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Automatic Knives: Does The Hide Have Any Favorites?

    I like my ProTech Rockeye Auto....inexpensive too. I'm going to pick up one of their TR-4's when I can find a black on black plain edge version.

    Suppressors Red Jacket 22 can

    I wouldn't use anything they make to quiet the sound of my toilet flushing. They are idiots with an FFL.
