    Night Vision Skeet L vs X

    Dual Skeet IRX's are amazing... Like walking around with a very good pair of NOD's, but in thermal, and with a slightly smaller FOV. Nothing touches them for depth of image and sensitivity except the PoT stuff. If you have an adjustable bridge it is very easy to fuse images between them. They...

    Voodoo S Mount Options?

    Well you would have to ask POT if removing the Wilcox shoe would void the warranty. I don't think it is recommended. The Wilcox mount is quite robust, and I don't think you will be disappointed. The other question is whether it matters if the mount stays tight and repeatedly in the same...

    Bout to pull the trigger (Voodoo S)

    The real question is will there be one for a long while? What would the driver be to move to a higher resolution if power consumption and size goes up without a very significant improvement for a short/mid range unit like the Voodoo S? The folks who want high resolution are likely going to be...

    Are the US Secret Service using standard Remington 700 actions?

    The LRF looks like a MARS... They provide a ballistic solution very quickly, this would not have delayed return fire

    Night Vision Excelitas Thermal Optics!

    I don't have experience with the Excelitas stuff, but I can tell you a true "all in one" unit for clip on and HMT use still has compromises. The Skeet IRX is the ultimate HMT unit, the FOV is incredibly wide and without demag or distortion. It is the superior choice for HMT, and would also work...

    Oxidized Ammo

    I would break one of the rounds down to make sure there hasn't been internal degradation of the components, most namely powder. Based on your screen name it would seem that you live in a high-temperature, high moisture environment. This is horrible for storage of ammunition in a uncontrolled...

    Accurate 4064 Loads?

    I have used it with good results in 308. 44 gr under a 155 SMK loaded to mag length has shot well for me. It has provided similar accuracy with a touch less velocity than IMR 4064. Unfortunately I have not used it in bigger cases like 30-06.

    When do you know pull a barrel

    I have only shot out 1 barrel, it was a 18" SPR AR stainless barrel that easily over 10k on it. It still shot fairly well at 100 yds (1.5" 5 shot groups) but wasn't up to its former level of consistent 0.75" groups. I had also begun to experience increased vertical dispersion when shooting long...

    Bullets with shortest jump to lands, AR 308 gas guns

    I know you really want to minimize jump to the lands, but have you considered the old-style Sierra 155 SMK (#2155)? It isnt the highest BC but is fairly jump tolerant and will likely shoot at least a little better than the 150 FMJ-BT. They are also less finicky than the Sierra 2156 (the new 155...

    Powder for super short 300blk

    If you want better function, use a slower powder... RL-7, AA 1680, H4198, etc all come to mind as better options. They will all be dirtier and louder though. N110 is a good option but will not get you the same velocity as Win 296/H-110/300-MP.

    Night Vision $3k thermal weapon sight

    I have used a bunch of different optics ranging from a lower end ATN Thor all the way up to a Voodoo M and Clip ELR. My friend has the latest generation Super Yoter V2. The image quality was quite good and it proved reliable over multiple hunts. It did not have quite the image quality or...

    School me on titanium actions

    Titanium can be difficult to machine, and is prone to galling with metal/metal contact without appropriate lubrication. Proper maintenance is more critical than a steel action. A friend of mine has a Pierce Ti action and likes it just fine. It is up to you if it is worth the cost. I have not...

    Anyone mess around with "The load" of 13gr of Red Dot at all?

    Don't knock "the load" until you have tried it... Can be surprisingly accurate albeit despite the rainbow trajectory. Titrate the Red Dot charge proportion to case volume, and whatever you do, do not double charge or you can blow up your weapon! I have used it mainly in 300 BLK (3.8-4.0 gr).

    Midway Factory Seconds

    I have had really good seconds from Midway, and some that were horribly inconsistent. Some bullets are dimensionally very good but the plastic tip is a weird color. Other come from various lots with different OAL's and gives and require extensive sorting. Hard to predict. None of the seconds...

    Looking for 45-70 subsonic recipe

    I would really recommend trying to track down flaky, fast burning powder like Unique, Red Dot, or Bullseye if you want to run light bullets subsonic. These are really the only option for a super quiet sub load now that Trailboss is not available. I have also used N340 with good success. In...

    Sizing Wax question

    Whether or not case wax inside the neck will affect your consistency depends on whether you lube every inside neck, and your post lube cleaning process. It is possible to lube the inside neck with wax by rolling a small amount of the wax into the inside of the neck. It is not that easy to do...

    WOA 223 Varmint 1/12 barrel

    The bullet to try would be the 53 Vmax... Best BC in it's class and it *may* stabilize in a 1/12 twist

    Sanity check on a .450 bushmaster build

    If you want it to cycle with subsonic, then go shorter instead of longer to maximize dwell time. The ideal gas system is determined by the bore to case size/volume ratio. Rifle gas in what is basically a large pistol cartridge is a recipe for function problems. The 300 BLK shares a similar bore...
