    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos BTR6-24

    Not sure what Athlon is doing now for reticles, but the MOA version was different than the MIL on the gen 1 Argos BTR. I had the MIL since I wanted a Christmas tree reticle. No open center and I thought it was too thick at higher magnification. The EBR2C from Vortex is much more clean in my opinion.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos BTR6-24

    I had one and as a beginner, it was serviceable. Tracking seemed to work, no mechanical problems, and glass was decent up to around 20x before getting a little dark. It was sitting on a rarely used AR meant for prairie dog shots from 100-300, so it worked. Sold it and picked up a Vortex...

    Data book?

    https://www.riteintherain.com/no-373-side-spiral-notebook A standard Rite in the Rain notebook is all you need. I'm sure there is a ton of shit out there that comes in multicam and has a ton of sleeves and pockets and shit, data tables and cool target hit recorders. Whatever, I'm sure they're...

    223 Ackley Improved

    Have you used 223AI in an AR before? I'd really like to change barrels out in one of mine, but worried mag feeding might have some issues.

    223 Ackley Improved

    Also thought this was a cool picture. Bottom is one of the normal loads I tested, basically anything towards the upper end of max pressure turns out great. Top is from an AR plinking load I used to boresight. Only 25.5 gr H335 and obviously not enough pressure for proper forming.

    223 Ackley Improved

    My fire-forming load: LC15 brass CCI 400 primer 27/27.5/28 gr Benchmark 40 gr Vmax @ 2.260" All three shot pretty well, less than 0.5". Obligatory I know I pulled the fifth shot on 28 gr, should have been 1 hole. The 28 gr load was 3800 fps. Was able to pick up 500 of the 40 gr VMax for $7/100...

    Who wants to do a bullet review ?

    If the bullet in question claims it makes shitty shooters "OK", I'll do my part and put it though it's paces.

    6.5 Creedmoor and the berger 156 gn Elite Hunter

    Damn, I've been seeing some really high numbers with RE26 and 140s, but this is super impressive for a 156gr bullet. Good call on keeping it below 70.

    Yeah, I'm a dumbass and realized that after I hit post. I'll leave it up and take the lashings.

    Rifle Scopes I want 10 mil turrets

    A wider turret with 10 mils? You're scope is set to X mils internally anyway, the turret is just a physical indicator on where it is. You widen the diameter, you can add more mils per rev. You're not changing anything with the internals. Right??? Maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet.

    Rifle Scopes I want 10 mil turrets

    Find someone with a 3D printer and a lot of time and material. I'm sure you can get something close. Will probably fit poorly, work poorly, look bad, and the person will hate you for wasting their time, but should get you in the ballpark.
