    Nosler RDF Question

    I would definitely try Hornady, I don’t shoot factory ammo at all but I will say I remember my buddy bitching about how good Hornady 6.5 Creed shot and how hard he had to work at reloading to beat it.

    Nosler RDF Question

    A friend shoots the 140 RDF in handloads out of his RPR, that’s his go-to bullet now. He has shot groups in the .4s and better with it when we go out, and out to 1100y or so on steel. I wouldn’t hesitate to try them if I had a 6.5, may give the 175gr under 4064 a go one of these days.

    300 PRC update

    @nick338 Get a can, seriously. Best thing I ever did for my shooting. Worth every penny.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    You’ll want high rings at the least. X-high probably better. Don’t get crappy cheap ones. You have a 20MOA base on the rifle, just an FYI. ARC, Nightforce ultralights, Badger. I have a set of Warnes but my next set will be ARC M10s. Some people like Seekins/vortex as well. I’d go with...

    .223 powders, 69 SMK through 80 ELD-M

    Another vote for 8208xbr. I used to use TAC and from now on my TAC goes into p-dog loads, 8208 did way better for me. One thing I’ve noticed is that it gets over pressure fast, so be cautious on the top end. I have not tried RL15 or Varget, haven’t felt the need to since I’ve been quite...

    Vegan diet for a dog?

    I highly recommend Canidae Grain Free. My dog stopped farting almost completely, and her coat is much healthier. I buy from Big R, $52 per 24lb bag out the door using their Military/veteran Monday promo. Beats Amazon by almost $10 a bag. EDiT: that Big R price beats chewy as well from what...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    RPR has a floating bolt head? Lol no. You shoot 50k+ rounds a year? Lol bullshit. @sav338lapua, you are full of shit, and I’m dumber for having read what you have typed.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Do you have pictures of the broken pin? I’d be curious to see where it broke. Did you replace with an aftermarket or a Ruger?

    AR accuracy expectations

    I’m going to disagree here, or possibly you just didn’t state it clearly. The reset should be after the complete recoil cycle is finished, a bystander should hear the ‘click’ of the reset after the shot.

    Build vs Buy, your experience.

    I prefer to buy rather than build, here’s an example why. Colt LE6920 sells used for ~650 or less around here, swap out rail and barrel (for another Colt if I want chromelined), maybe put a B5 sopmod on it and it’s still a Colt. That name will always be worth more than a Anderson, Spikes, or...

    AR accuracy expectations

    First, don’t trust what you read. Second, handloads are where it’s at. Third, gas guns are harder to shoot well than bolts. Follow-through is god with a gas gun. More magnification than 6x will be helpful for small group shooting as well. I use 10x but 15 would be better.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    @BANG...ping Mine is still going strong at ~1300, only firing pin issue is ~40% failure to fire on ‘80s German surplus, not enough juice in the firing pin spring and no fix that I can find.

    TRASOL vs Strelok Pro

    This is fantastic info everyone, thank you! I’ll get both, since it really seems they are different and complementary tools. I’m definitely interested in the differences in the drag models between the two. I have a pretty strong engineering education with upper level math, if anyone has...

    Accurizing an off the rack rim-fire

    @kl3309 I know you’re correct, but I’m in this one for interest. I have an older bolt Winchester .22 that turned in some damn good groups when I shot some Eley Club through it, I’m going to put a better scope on it, bed it with acraglass and see how it does with some SK. Sinking a ton of...

    Suppressors Done it all, AR still filthy when suppressed

    This man is right. It’s the rifle 100%, not the can.

    Rifle Scopes Upgrading from a 2.5-10x32 nxs

    MK5 may be your best bet, but you may want to look into illum as well with the clipon, Leupold fucked up in my opinion by having limited illumination options. The CCH reticle is not illuminated in the 3.6-18. If it comes down to getting the TMR, I’d take the MK5 over the MK6, the coatings are...

    Would you put your rifle through this!!!

    @BANG...ping No, I didn’t contact Ruger. My experience has been good with their customer service as well but I knew I was either going to paint or cerakote so I just scrubbed off the rust, degreased, painted, and problem solved.

    Would you put your rifle through this!!!

    If I remember right, the case was wet so the rifle just went on the back seat. Here is a pic that you will hate me for posting... rust under the hand guard nut. I didn’t pull it off immediately when I cleaned it so it had a few days to go. I wiped all the rust off and painted it. Ruger’s...
