    Titanium sleeve barrels

    Sounds like the next sucker trap now that carbon is no longer unique.

    Precision Rifle Gear Large Game Changer Bag for Hunting, which fill?

    Lot of varieties to how one hunts but even my pint sized with Git Lite fill is more than I want to bring on many hunts. Never carried anything bigger/heavier than that. I could justify carrying a heavier model for midwest whitetail hunting if i sought more stability but there's no reason for a...

    Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

    I have a Manzella chambered 223 Wylde ACE tube, 0.219 bore, 7.5 twist. 24.0 grains H4895 under 77 tmk and 75 ELDm was actually a bit hot and loosened up primer pockets a bit on virgin lapua brass! Shoots good though and i'm just loading 23.0 xbr under 75 ELDs now. I know the freebore dia is...

    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    I'd look at either one of the CAT cans or one of the Ops inc style cans. I have a Polonium K on my 14.5" AR and it works fine for the money. Quieter and less backpressure would be cool but hopefully the new BRT gas tube and heavier buffer/spring tame it down a bit. Personally i avoid muzzle...

    Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

    Edit to actually respond to OP - 18" 6 Creedmoor on a tikka shoots factory sig 107 SMKs around 2790. 108 ELDm is in the same ballpark. I bought a few cases of the sig stuff at around $1.35 ea and it has done great. Probably wouldn't be my first choice for terminal performance though, the 108...

    Dillon 550 only- Tips, Tricks, Process Q&A thread .

    I’m a newbie to 550 and progressive reloading. I’m sure I can figure it out but figured I’ll ask here - loading 223, the case heads and rims are getting black greasy shit on them. I bought the shell plate new and have only performed priming, powder charging, and seating operations on this...

    Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

    Did Mike order the barrels with 7.75 twist or did you? What kind of lead time are the one off twists from ACE?

    22BR Custom Build

    22GT is basically a modern 22-250. Depends how much you're going to shoot it at Pdogs and appetite for barrel life. If I planned to run a high volume of shots at P-Dogs id probably want a little less overbore cartridge.

    22BR Custom Build

    I think he's referring to you missing a 0 after the decimal. 80 thou vs 800 thou. Sounds like a nice build. I dont think i'd want a brake on a heavy 27" 22 BR for bench and pdog shooting. Bare muzzle or better yet, suppressor.

    Is there a better precision QD mount than the Thunderbeast CB2?

    I dont get it. Why spend a bunch of money on hub mounts and muzzle devices when you can just direct thread them on usually without blowing $300 on a muzzle device and compatible hub mount.

    Suppressors Mount or direct thread?

    How often are you moving your cans around that 4 seconds vs 7 is worth a hundreds of dollars and extra weight on every rifle?

    737R 6 Dasher Build - Rounds Sticking In Chamber

    Yeah, quit being cute with trying to seat them next to the lands.

    Suppressors Mount or direct thread?

    Most of my guns are weight conscious and I dont like wasting money. So to me, additional muzzle devices that cost money and add weight is the lesser choice. That is on bolt guns. I'm not well versed on semi-autos and any related retention concerns.

    Yeah, I’d trade my scythe for another XC if I could.

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    I see only 33 cal brakes. I'm pretty sure the last one I bought said 30 cal. Are you only offering 33 cal now or are they the same and you're naming them differently?

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    Did you try swapping locations between the two? That seems to impact readings occasionally..

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    The whole issue with apps reminds me of a popular trail camera company (exodus) recently going out of business because their chinese OEM and app creators quit supporting their stuff and was basically extorting them for little breadcrumbs. Sad. I haven't even downloaded the app or my athlon...

    Thanks for the updates. Patiently waiting to order a 30 cal version for a Scythe!
