    AB Quantum Bullet Library Listing Question for AAC 77 Grain OTM

    I'm not sure of anything. I provided the best information I have. If the AAC 77 gr OTM is indeed made by Hornady then that is the information I was provided. The difference of 0.007 between 0.355 & 0.362 is nothing of any note that a shooter could easily discern. If it's not the Hornady...

    AB Quantum Bullet Library Listing Question for AAC 77 Grain OTM

    Mid-South lists this bullet . I've confirmed with them that this 77 grain offering is made by Hornady. Item # 004-HMK22477. The G1 and G7's sound about right. Ballistic Coefficient: 0.355 (G1) Ballistic Coefficient: 0.179 (G7) Classic Match 22 Caliber 224 Diameter 77 Grain Boat Tail Hollow...

    .308 Winchester

    On my latest burn rate chart from Accurate: H4895 #99 RL15 #110 N203B #111 VV N140 #112 Varget #113 On the Other Chart I have: H4895 #119 RL15 #132 N203B #133 VV N140 #134 Varget #135 None of this says H4895 is not very good in the 308 Win, which it is, but it's a bit faster burning than the...

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    This is the most intelligent post on this entire topic. If you have a military discount you can get the Athlon Helos BTR GEN2 2-12x42mm for $397.49 from EuroOptic. I have a Trijicon Credo 2-10x36mm and two of the 2-12x42mm Helos. I like MVPO's for both hunting and possible social work. MVPO's...

    Leveling a scope

    He also used a 32 blade feeler gauge set. That's what I use. I first level the rifle off the pic rail using a Starret 1-3/4 Inch Base Diameter, 1 Circle, Plastic Bull's Eye Circular Level. Then I place the scope in the rings and use the feeler gauge to level the scope off the bottom of the...

    What’s your favorite scope mount?

    Badger Condition One, Reptilia & Geissele all make excellent modular cantilevered mounts in the $300 plus department. Unless you have a specific need of a 1.70" or a 1.93" scope mount I prefer the Primary Arms Plx Cantilevered Mount and save nearly $50 ,- $100. over it's better know cousin's...

    Mixing brass lots, same headstamp.

    Your condescension of a 74 year old, 100% P&T disabled veteran is also classic. I've never owned a Savage nor am I likely too. I now shoot only factory barrels. That doesn't mean I haven't owned custom rifles or have shot in gun games in the past. I reloaded my first hull in 1973. I've been...

    Mixing brass lots, same headstamp.

    Maury, The majority of shooters here on the Hide do not shoot F class or Formal Benchrest comps, nor do they use or want to use a $2K SEB benchrest. They're shooting mainly off of Bipods, Tripods, Backpacks, Walls, Barricades, Tree Stumps, Side of Pickup Truck Beds, and what have you. And...

    Rifle Scopes GPO Centuri Riflescope Special Offer

    That GPO CENTURI 4-16x44i Super Compact - MIL-FFP looks quite nice at only 20oz.

    Mixing brass lots, same headstamp.

    Ah yes, the $2K benchrest that can do anything. And you don't have one, (and you don't, cause if you did you'd be bragging about it too) you just can't hit steel targets or punch paper with the panache necessary to record your groups in a significantly statistically manner.

    You make reloading too hard

    Not 9mm, but rather 7.62x25 Tokarev. I love the precision powder measuring technique.....

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    I always liked a Light Palma measuring between .730" and .750" for short rifles, and I've had several custom rifles in the past with those barrel contours . There's guys making continuous contour barrels now that look quite good in the .750 range. I currently have a 20" 6.5 Creedmoor with a...

    If no intention of swapping scopes, any downside to an action that's tapped for direct scope rings?

    A Steel Badger Ordnance 20 MOA rail weighs 4.9oz. An alloy Badger Ordnance 20 MOA rail weighs 1.9 oz. A Steel Badger Ordnance 30mm medium ring (.885") weighs 7.7 oz. An alloy Badger Ordnance 30mm medium ring weighs 3.8 oz. Doing the math, steel rings and bases weigh 12 oz. and alloy rings...

    LaRue MBT is still an option at $115?

    IMHO, Centurion Arms AST @$93.50 is a better buy, and a better trigger, than Larue's MBT @$115. However, I prefer to spend the money and buy Geissele SSA-E or SD-E. They are much better triggers for a precision or SDM type AR15. And on sale they can be found from time to time during the year...

    AR15 magazine recommendations

    Recommending ProMag or Thermold mags, is like recommending a Yugo as a good buy....... It's just not done in polite circles. ;)
