    223 at 300 and 500

    That’s cool, if printing the smallest groups and hitting the most targets in a comp was of utmost importance that would matter more to me. My 223 isn’t for that though, it’s just a clone of my primary hunting rifle that’s cheap to shoot and I don’t care abut getting it hot AF. I’d rather a...

    Weatherby® Introduces Model 307™ Alpine ST

    Yeah, 22 Creed, 25 creed, no 6 creed. WTF eh? 1/2" muzzle Threads is stupid. Other than that, I can dig it. Would be a good NRL factory class gun, especially if it offered gamers a 6CM option.. 'spose a guy could burn through 22 CM barrels. They didn't put over 1/2# of unnecessary shit on it...

    6gt

    Forthcoming price increases will help with stocks.. H4895, Varget, H4350 has been on the shelf pretty consistently at some retailers (Scheels) lately. Hopefully price hikes and a seemingly years long stretch of panic buying means inventories will be in a better place for the viht and H powders.

    APA Gen 4 Littel Bastard/ Fat Bastard

    I don't see anything about the design that would make them overly gentle on concussion? Looks like the first port is maybe less aggressively angled back but its definitely not 90.

    Suppressors Otter Creek Labs Hydrogen S Repeatability??

    Is there really that much variance in "repeatability" amongst well made cans? I've only got 4 from 4 different manufacturers but from what I've seen, spin off, spin on, and they hit the same POI as they did prior.

    A quick look at ammoseek has Berger’s at $0.37/ea and ELDs at $0.24/ea. that cost, the BC, and terminal performance is the draw to the elds.

    Tikka T3x ACE target vs Game

    Buy the Target and if you really want a single stage trigger, i'll send you one and a little extra money in exchange for your 2 stage trigger! Target may not be more accurate but odds are it will be easier to shoot accurately with the extra weight.

    Discard cold bore shot?

    I had a carbon barrel that behaved like that, slightly less extreme. It got gone because there's no reason to put up with that shit.

    How much shoulder bump is unsafe

    If you really want to keep the brass around I'd do a false shoulder to re fireform them. Wouldn't be afraid to jam and fireform them either but I'd think you'd get more case stretch that way. I'd think many shellholder/die combos wouldn't let you bump the shoulder a full 0.020" on a wsm?

    Optics/vision folks - Are my eyes just effed up?

    Nearsighted. If I have noticed any changes since lasik, it’s that my up close vision has slowly gotten a little worse.

    Optics/vision folks - Are my eyes just effed up?

    I’ll get em checked but sport optics interface is literally the only place I notice anything different about my eyes and it’s been like this since my lasik was fresh.

    Optics/vision folks - Are my eyes just effed up?

    How the mfr instructions dictate. Last one was just looking at a clear sky adjusting to get a clean reticle. Nothing has changed recently. It’s been like this long as I can remember. At least 10 years. I don’t. Had good vision into my late 20s and noticed a decline around age 30. Wore glasses...

    Optics/vision folks - Are my eyes just effed up?

    Maybe @koshkin or someone similar would know more about this - When setting the diopter on all of my riflescopes, i always end up with it screwed in all the way to get the best outcome. With spotting scopes and binos i always need to have the eye cups screwed all the way in to get my eye close...

    Area 419 Tactical One-Piece Scope Mount

    These things look awesome. These and the rings are tops of my options to try next time im buying mounts. A little wider ring spacing on 34mm would be cool though. Seems they are the narrowest of all tube diameters and I tend to avoid the supershort scope sillyness.

    Maggie’s New South Park Season

    Didn't the creators write the whole "book of Mormon" broadway play? Saw that one in person, hilarious.

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    Any concerns with soaking these things in the breakthrough suppressor cleaning solution?

    Let’s talk carbon fiber stocks

    Could probably just put a longer ARCA rail on it that went past the fore end? I was considering doing that on a non-scalloped rokstok.

    Advanced Marksmanship Fclass or super stable bipod for load development/tracking

    I've seen Huntnful over on rokslide use a phoenix sled bipod for his load dev. Looks slick, not sure its better than just shooting off bags? Maybe a little more convenient 🤷‍♂️

    223 Powder Issues

    I have found throwing benchmark or 8028xbr still gets me SDs on par or better than the ball powders I've tried even if the charge weight variance is a little higher. If H335 and 332 meter as well or better they are probably great options.
