    Suppressors Sub sonic .308 load

    A metric shit ton. Last year at the SH Cup they were demo'ing the McMillian Alias in 308 and were running the 200gn Lapua subsonic load. We were shooting a 12" plate at at 600. I was so impressed with the load I stayed in touch with them and they sent me the load details. Ill have to find it.

    Suppressors Sub sonic .308 load

    10-10.5 gn of trailboss under a hornady 180 roundnose up to the 200 laupa which was made for subsonic is a great starting point. the 200 grain laupa is a great load and ive shot it out to 600 with great results.

    Trigger pound pull

    The fact that you actually listed gravity pretty much sums it up. Do you give lessons because I may need to sign up for one.

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Figured I would post a quick update of my experience. I finally got out yesterday to dial in and play with my new AB Kestrel. Decided to see how it did at distance which is where Ive had discrepancies of calculated vs actual with Shooter. Anyway, I started the day with a cold bore impact on...

    Elderly man kills home invaders, drops best one liner ever.

    My thoughts exactly.. Not just on age but his interview will tend to support that he doesnt fully understand the impact of his actions or comments.

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Shc 2015.

    Would love to see an East coast cup. Then again prize donations are getting harder and harder with all the matches to having 2 cups could reduce the table for each. I only mention this because to Franks point, the way he runs the table, pretty much everyone gets something in the current format...

    Trigger pound pull

    Had a guy invite me over to shoot one time. Said he had targets setup at 800 but we could easily get to 1500. Said 800 was challenging but not too hard. Got there, saw the mess, pulled out the LRF and kindly let him know his 800 yard target was actually 275.. Im guessing same thing goes...

    How hard is it really to be accurate at 300-400 yards with an ar 15

    HAHA.. where you the guy shooting the bolt 223 with the 80grainers that borrowed my magnetospeed? Im headed out this weekend for the open range day. Ill be bringing the .223 again for some plinking fun after getting the 6.5 all dialed in.

    How hard is it really to be accurate at 300-400 yards with an ar 15

    The 77smk is a great bullet IMO. Maybe not the best choice for long range .223 but Ive taken them to 1K and went 3 for 3 on a 12" square after 2 sighters. I quit after that because I wanted to end on a high note. :) And yes there were witnesses.

    How hard is it really to be accurate at 300-400 yards with an ar 15

    You would be surprised and I used to think that as well. However; over the years, the more I shoot, the more I learn to read the wind and the more matches I go to; the more Ive realized that the majority of my shooting is during wind conditions that are just under full value to 1.5x full so...

    Gunsmithing Haas TL-1 Opinions

    If I'm not mistaken I thought I heard a rumor that Hass was planning on removing the wheels for manual functionality from the new models so you may want to look into that.

    Kestrel ??? which one

    I run a WinVM in a mac. Its not that hard and getting a win license is super simple. You dont even really need to activate Win as little as you'll use it. Yes I mean 4500. There are multiple versions of the 4500NV. A straight 4500NV will only give you atmospheric conditions of which you'll need...

    United Nations Trucks spotted moving through Tenn., Al., Ga and other states

    Help me get this right. You were sitting at dinner in Zanesville and you watched a convoy headed SW on 33. Since 33 runs through Columbus and is at 40 min west of Zanesville, i doubt you could see anything on 33. Also 33 runs SE not SW. Sure you dont mean 22? There are quite a few convoys that...

    Dehumidifying a Gun Safe Properly --Suggestions?

    Just use desiccant in the right quantity for the volume of the safe. The golden rod will just keep air circulating in the safe which is not good. It will heat the internal air and as the hot air rises it will exit the top of the safe and draw cooler air in from the bottom which is where your...

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    Ive always been a fan of Melissa Bachman. I ran into her walking around at SHOT this year by herself. I talked to her for a little while and had to get the obligatory picture with her. She has a great personality and just as beautiful in person as she is on TV. She always seems to be smiling.

    Terrapin X tru pulse

    It should also be said that unless you find someone selling a used Terrapin, I dont believe there are anymore new coming into the US at this point. There have been a number of threads on it since Jan. Good luck in your pursuit whichever route you choose.
