    AR15 magazine recommendations

    I use Lancer 10 rounders off the bench or prone shooting w/bipod, mainly for load development. They run flawlessly.

    Rifle Scopes Area 419 RMR Mount ?

    I suspect it replaces the front ring Pic mount. Picture shown below is for the high mount. The low mount should go on the same way. High-Profile Red-Dot Plates for Area 419 Tactical Mounts

    6.5 CM ammo Question

    No results, but this is available from Lapua below. I stick to the Berger 130 gr OTM's when handloading, but I have fired a box or two of Berger Match Grade 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo 130 Grain Berger Hybrid OTM Tactical. Lapua: Scenar, 6.5 Creedmoor, 123gr OTM, 50/Box

    Curiosity Test.. Brake VS No Brake and Expander VS No Expander

    What I also found interesting was the POI change that was evident with the brake vs no brake. Thanks for sharing

    Recommended Optic for Monitoring Wind and Mirage

    Gunny, Neither did I. But the the Guide to Spotting scopes for Birding was oddly very helpful. Birds and Bullet holes have much in common, since they both start with the letter B..... In any event they say 14mm is the minimum for eye relief for glasses wearers and the ones they listed in...

    Recommended Optic for Monitoring Wind and Mirage

    I was bored so I took up your case, and went to my old pals at EuroOptic. I did a quick run through of all their offerings. 16 to 17mm seems standard eye relief. I listed all those that were #2) 18mm or larger eye relief below, that had #1) angled eye pieces. I can't relate your #3)...

    K-Bars What Knife is in your pocket right now?

    My EDC Carry is a Benchmade #556 Mini-Griptilian. I like them so much I have 4 of them: Black, Blue, Tan & OD Green handles. Two with plain Blades and two with partially serrated. They are all carried in a leather sheath made by Wicek Leather out of Poland. Truly a great craftsman. Wicek...

    6mm vs 6.5mm, not quite beating a dead horse.

    From the "For what it's Worth" department. I have both a .308 Win and a 6.5 Creedmoor. It's a nice pairing. Great accurate factory supported rounds (If your feeling flush), and easy to reload for with a dizzying array of cases to choose from, LR and SRP primer setups, and more good bullets...

    Won’t pass headspace gauge

    Did you try and chamber it in your rifle?? The best chamber gauge is the one that comes with the rifle, and not the hand held one you buy in the store. If it won't chamber or won't chamber easily in your rifle, then look to see if your local gun plumber can take a little off the die bottom. If...

    Switching from Athlon ares to Mk5

    IMHO I would go with an Athlon Cronus 4.5-29x56mm (Japanese made) before I would pay a penny for any Leupold. Charging for Illumination is both stupid and crazy. But Leupold counts on their old time brand loyalty overcoming today's good common sense.

    Reloading to accuracy on bolt action

    I don't know what you were reloading for "Back in the Day" or why, but since the aforementioned DD Delta 5 has a magazine, the #1 rule of reloading for a magazine feed rifles is: " Your load has to fit and feed from the magazine." That said, loading +.010 over chamber length and setting the...

    Zero distance applicability

    Red Dots usually to a max of 100 yds. For longer range target that's what scopes are made for.

    .223 Remington Brass from First Breach

    OP, Try Starline 5.56mm brass. It's harder at the case head. And it's $141.50 for 500 cases vs Starline .223 Brass @ $137.00. Both with free shipping. #3440 - 5.56x45mm Brass #4840 - 223 Remington Brass
