    Sidearms & Scatterguns Go to bullet for self defense

    Yeah that site is my dirty secret. I've gotten TBBC's, MK318, Gold dots and HSTs from them. You have to watch it as they restock, but they get some good stuff for SD and plinking.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Go to bullet for self defense

    American reloading often has pulled 147gr HST's for sale. I've got 1,500 of them, all the newer generation pulls with the double cannelure. They run under 15 cents each depending on sales.

    Suppressors Thunder Beast Magnus on 6CM

    Am I right to think that that is truly hearing safe without ear pro at 123DB?

    223 Bolt Gun (current climate)

    For all local matches, I'm running a 223ai. I can train on it extensively. With the little amount of powder burned I have more rounds before letting it cool down. Brass is cheap and abundant. No trimming either My load is 88s at 2896 and that is almost exactly the same as 6.5 creeds to 800...

    Suppressors Dominus CB first shots

    I've got close to 1k through mine and I have never noticed the ping. I love mine and it works very well on a 26" 223AI bringing it down to low levels of noise.

    6mm Dasher

    a bullet between 110-115 grains. I have used both the DTAC and Barnes MB with the same charge

    6mm Dasher

    Never used that. Varget, H4350, Staball and XBR are good IME.

    6mm Dasher

    XBR is great. 30.5-31.6 grains with a 11X class bullet worked very well.

    223 Ackley Improved

    Went back and finally settled on shooting the 25.3 gr n140 load with 88s from last year that was around 1/4 moa or something like that. Took the load and ran it from my CM1500 and then through my Hornady progressive powder thrower CM 1500 - 2886 average, SD 6.6 Powder thrower- 2884, SD 16.6...

    223 Ackley Improved

    Went back with 28.5 and 29gr. Came out with disappointing results. With BR4 primers at 29gr my average was 2894 with an SD of 40. So terrible. Accuracy was great though. I might try to mess with the jump at 28grs and see what happens. I've heard that jump can effect SDs

    223 Ackley Improved

    Ahh gotcha. I might try it out next. I'd love to get 2900 with a load that isn't blowing primers out. I'm going to test to 29gr and see what happens, but I'm cautious. I'm in uncharted territory and don't want to blow my gun up.

    I'm not following?

    223 Ackley Improved

    I'll let you know when it's shot out but commonly I hear between 3-6k. Depends on how hot you run it.

    223 Ackley Improved

    I loaded up and burned through 140 rounds Sunday. No issues with pressure, but my SD's weren't great. at 28gr I was at 2870 with an ES of 40 and SD of 23. I might need to increase the load as I have found this powder really shines at pressure. I feel like the sd's will get reasonable at 28.5 and...

    223 Ackley Improved

    Did some testing with 6.5 staball and 88s. No velocity yet, but another person had posted 2806 at 27.7 grains, so I'm thinking it'll be 2850-2900 with the top end. Very little signs of pressure even at the end. See photos. No significant cratering, or flat edges. Most shot around 3/4 moa, which...

    Rifle Competition Events Mammoth 2022

    Yeah, they switched it up alot this year. Much more challenging. little over half the stages had pistol, probably just so you could get some points (we had those stages where that was all we got). some quick aar points- 1. Aluminum cased ammo was a great idea, saved a bit. I took 120 rounds...

    That was a tough match. Targets were small and Chris switched things up with the stages. Then the final ruck...... Glad I made it.
