    Reloading to accuracy on bolt action

    I'm assuming you mean that you jammed .010, in that your overall cartridge length was .010 longer than when you measured a specific bullet to the lands??? If you were jamming the case mouth into the chamber, well, that would be a new one for me... but I haven't seen everything yet. Handloading...

    Covid Vax BS

    Here's an odd little food for thought. I am somewhat limited in my knowledge of vaccines, so please take this with a grain of salt... Currently (and always) there are/were zero FDA or USDA approved mRNA vaccines for use in cattle or feeder animals. I think there is only one RNA approved for...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Home Defense Suggestions

    Different weapons and ammunition choices for different situations. Your circumstances aren't mine and vice versa. I've often said that an LEO response is at LEAST 40 minutes away for me. Therefore, I traded the ease of some weapon systems for the lethality of a 5.56 rifle. I consider that my...

    .50 BMG B.S.

    ^ A true hero. The story very much reminds me of my grandfather who served on a destroyer escort in the pacific (Fletcher class). Was in basically every naval battle during the entire island hopping campaign. The only time he ever opened up was when I was visiting before going to recruit...

    So I'm seeing more and more short 308s in my neck of the woods seems odd

    Much appreciated for the input gents. I somewhat figured so. I know they aren't when they're 18-20", and only get louder as the barrel gets shorter. It was somewhat of a rhetorical question... but I wanted to ask just in case as I'm not as knowledgeable as I pretend to be in front of my wife.

    So I'm seeing more and more short 308s in my neck of the woods seems odd

    So is a short barrel with can, hearing safe? Or will the user still need to wear ear protection?

    So I'm seeing more and more short 308s in my neck of the woods seems odd

    - Maneuverability, especially in/around vehicles. - Sufficient combat ballistics to about 600 meters. - Cool factor for a lot of dudes. ^ Really, the first two make a world of difference if you're jumping in and out of equipment (and especially with gear on). I'm not in the short-barrel camp...

    .50 BMG B.S.

    I guess I've been out of the loop for too long. Seriously. It was always a thing for me to advance my timing just enough to get that cyclic rate closer to the max (575 rounds per minute) vs the minimum (450). If it sounded a bit closer to an M240 I was happy.

    Rifle Scopes $2500 MSRP Limit (PRS Production Class)

    In one last time before the inevitable shit-flinging starts. I don't think you're going to see enough difference in broad daylight PRS to feel outclassed by any other of the LRP S3/XTR Pro/MK5 options if you're running one of those three. Perhaps Tract could be added to that discussion, but I...

    .50 BMG B.S.

    I sat between an M2 and a MK19 (both mounted in cradles) off and on for about 13 years. I much preferred the .50 simply because it jammed less, and if there was a malfunction I could clear it from inside the turret and not have to climb halfway outside. Somebody way before me coined the term...

    Follow my 7 dumbo project aka 7 dasher!!

    +1 Why worry what someone else is building and shooting when you don't have to fund it? We do this because it's fun, not because we're making money at it.

    Euro Optic shipping procedures SUUUUCK!

    I understand the shipping policy. I had a scope sent to me that I purchased from a large retailer on Gunbroker (it was a discontinued item, but NIB). I never got it... the FedEx driver let someone else who said that they knew me sign for it at NOT MY ADDRESS. At least the driver made them...

    If you could share what your OAL to the lands ends up being, that'd be awesome man.

    .50 BMG B.S.

    I'm definitely going to agree with you on the occasional verified professional not knowing the ins and outs of ballistics etc... to the savants that occasionally grace us on this site. But my problem comes from fabrication of stories. It is like anything else in life; You are frequently...

    .50 BMG B.S.

    100%, but until this dude gets universally outed to where he can't profit from his story anymore, then it isn't enough.

    .50 BMG B.S.

    There comes a point where you claim so much, that people will start looking into it. I unfortunately had a Marine - a frigging counterpart E6 - who constantly yapped about killing dudes as a prior infantryman in Afghanistan as well as the Iraqi invasion (even while we were deployed together...

    Maggie’s Another M18 accidental discharge

    As the father of a 21 and 19 year-old... yes. Used to mock what the next guy is probably going to say. I may be old, but I'm still hip. :D
