    223/5.56 brass Lapua vs starline

    Lapua if you're made of cash, need the best, or aren't losing or tearing it up is my take. I like starline for other applications. Good value where I've used it.

    Lapua/Alpha worth the premium?

    Yes lapua is very nice, great stuff. Starline is good too, less good but very good where I've used it! For typical shooting I'd bet starline will do what's needed. It's my go to cheaper pick when possible. I've had no problem shooting sub moa and better with starline in 300blk, .223, .357 mag...

    Question for machinists manufacturing ARs

    Good call on the confidence angle of it, can see that for sure.

    6mm arc

    I'd probably go 18 or 20 on the length tops unless REALLY craving a few fps and dont feel like getting a bigger rifle out.

    Nice paint! That barrel fluting is wild too. Very cool.

    First Big Mike and now Nancy Pelosi isn't attending Trump's Inaguaration Ceremony

    That's what I assume too, surely covered as effectively as 150 yard distant wide open dangerously sloped roof tops.

    Give it to me straight(Objective too big)

    If you're not attached to the scope cap maybe mod that a little? A little file work may do it? Done it on some butler creeks and worked fine, but they are kinda disposable lol. I guess the real question is how's the cheek weld? If your face is smashed down, then new mount looks like the way...

    Subsonic lever gun caliber

    4570 works here, BUT you need to be able to run a long bullet for it to work well. Case is just too big for subs unless you run one of the short 4570 variety... do it if you can... I've had good luck hunting with a wide flat nose soft cast bullet on deer. Get a reliable half inch plus a little...

    Asked a similar question for gassers but outside of a .22 what’s the most enjoyable caliber to shoot suppressed in a bolt gun?

    Lever action .357 with handloads. 160ish grain bullet at 900 fps from a 16 inch barrel is very quiet and whacks targets very nicely. Bolt gun experience is the same with less stetson needed. 44 mag is also fun if you need more bullet, just comes with more noise. 9mm is hard to argue with too...

    Brass Trimmings in Case

    Yeah I'd hate to leave some of those long curls you get sometimes in there. Good idea to trim and make gravity do the work

    Which Flame Annealer?

    I've messed with an ugly a bit, learned on 5.56 range brass. It seems to work pretty well. A lot of fired 5.56, pull down 50bmg, and old .243 hunting rifle ammo was giving lots of neck splits and was overly hard to work the necks. I assume the brass was not treated gently in the past lol. One...

    .243 load for 9 twist barrel

    Hunting load? Deer ? The 95g nosler ballistic tips have done very well in the 2 243s I've loaded them for. Both were older rifles as well, unknown twist. My buddy has taken probbaly about 25 deer with that combo over the years from 10 yards to about 250. Performed well with lung shots.

    AR10 using 178gr Horniday ELD-M Bullets Powder Suggestions

    I agree with the above comments suggesting a bullet more like the 168 or 175 smk. I bet that ogive shape will be much friendlier to a magazine length restricted rifle. Depending on what you need the rifle to do, that bullet may be just fine. I've had very good luck with 42.5 +/- grains of...

    What COAL for maximum reliability in a 5.56 AR?

    Mags make it a little muddy since they vary. For any cartridges that matter I go 2.250 to 2.255 and don't have any hangups in mags, gi, lancer, or random junk ones here. 2.260 can give hangups with any weirdness in the mag. More than 2.260 gets less and less reliable depending on what mag in my...
