    Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

    Look at the last two posts. The steel of an action is the pressure vessel that contains the controlled explosion going off in igniting a cartridge. No matter what material which the case is constructed. A bolt action has a lot of steel, an AR, not so much. The AR only has the barrel extension...

    Does anyone else get frustrated reloading

    We made this too complicated. Now we're trying to bump brass so that it has a perfect fit to the chamber, blah blah. The first sub-moa loads I made were in new brass I only chamfered and then just used a FL RCBS die to size after firing. I had no idea what the shoulder bump was. And you can say...

    I think I found my new scope

    Call me an elitist but if a scope doesn't come with a minimum bench press requirement, bow kills, or concrete construction knowledge, I don't want it! QF, FTW!

    Suppressors Help me choose adapter for Huxwrx Ventum

    I just received the suppressor today. It's the 7.62 model and came with the hub adapter for direct thread to 5/8-24. I'm wanting to replace the muzzle devices on my gassers so that I can move it around. I'm considering using Dead Air Keymo as it is on the Huxwrx replacement list. Is there any...

    Competition .223 muzzle break help

    Yeah, that thing made me feel concussed. More so than shooting next to others with brakes.

    PSA M110 clonish rifle

    Ouch detective, you got me buying PSA premium BCGs. You should've looked harder. You'd find me comparing and praising the PSA premium AR15 BCG as it has the same specs on paper as the BCM. And I've built plenty of their stripped AR15 lowers. I have 3 of their premium AR15 uppers with the FN...

    PSA M110 clonish rifle

    I would not waste my $ if you're an experienced LR shooter. I would buy Seekins, JP, or the like, or build my own. The customer for this seems to be cheap clone guys or noobs.

    LRP vs SRP 308 brass

    You might get cratering if you have the larger diameter firing pin in your BCG. Armalite AR10 was something like .062 vs .085-ish and doesn't have this problem.

    7PRC problem. Brand new prefit barrel, reputable smith, bolt wont close on freshly sized new brass

    I'd say you need the head space gauges. Only way to be sure.

    Aero Precision, going out of business or?

    Lots of jabber about them owing the people that do coatings for them. They had Christmas sales and I happened to buy two lowers from them. First they said they didn't have a copy of my FFL guy's license. Then they were being difficult about getting his license, after he had sent it twice again...

    Current state of cheap scopes $100-$200 (specifically in Canada)

    I think he'd be better off looking on Ebay for some known good old scopes, like original Redfield 4X or similar.

    .260 Remington

    I wish I could be of more help but it is NOT the twist rate. Remington helped kill the cartridge commercially by offering rifles with 1:9 in the 90s. I'd try the Berger 130 hybrid as a last effort. If they won't shoot I'd replace that barrel. Have you looked at it with a borescope?

    .260 Remington

    Even a GAP that is 16 years old may be in need of a new barrel. What's the round count?

    Woah... LMT & KAC quality/accuracy/performance

    GT allegedly has many reasons to be called flannel daddy, lol. It's an influencer rabbit hole that you probably don't want to go down involving his divorce and Micah leaving his YT channel plus some strange IG account that was putting out insider information. Quite the guntuber soap opera. I...
