    Suppressors TBAC PISTOL CAN - THE FLY 9

    Zak can you help me understand why the long 9mm pistol configuration is 141dB at the ear, and the short is 138dB? Shouldn't the longer config be quieter?

    That's an outstanding no BS response. This is why I love TBAC.

    Hunting scope

    There are lots of good choices. Ilya has done many outstanding analyses and I would recommend starting with his work. Check out opticsthoughts.com. My 2 SFP hunting scopes are Swarovski Z8i 2-16 and S&B Polar 3-12. Either of those lines will meet your requirements and knock your socks off...

    Suppressors Thunder Beast Magnus

    Dammit I told myself I would stop clicking on TBAC threads. They always end up costing me money.

    Rifle Scopes Swarovski Optiks and ARC Rings

    FWIW, I use Nightforce rings @ 25in-lbs on my Z8. No issues.

    anyone shooting Remington 260?

    I've been shooting 260 since way before the CM was invented, and now 260AI. Awesome cartridges, and I see no reason to ever build a different medium capacity 6.5 now that I am invested in brass and dies. My 28" 260AI pushes 140s right around 2925 with H4831. It is not a 6.5-284 twin, but a...

    Reloading XC cartridges on a Co-Ax

    Has anyone tried this? Does the Co-Ax have enough room to effectively load really long bullets into a 37XC? I have a Surgeon XL re-barrel coming up and I am considering going 37XC, but I really don't want to have to get another press.

    What’s your coolest firearm?

    Freedom Arms 454 with a bunch of custom touches. Fell in love with this pistol after seeing it in a Guns magazine article as a kid. Took two years to have it built.

    Modified Cases Are Dumb. Change my mind.

    Copper Creek will modify any case for a small fee.

    Lighter weight but top tier glass scope?

    Swaro Z8 glass is phenomenal. A 2-16 weighs 24 oz. A 2.3-18 weighs 26. If you want a lightweight hunting scope you will be hard pressed to do better.

    Haha you're not sure if you have a $4k scope lying around or not? Damn son.

    TT315M is pretty much exactly what you are describing.

    Sb exos vs march 1.5-15x42

    I have two Exos 3-21, one on a 223AI and one on a 308. Phenomenal scopes. Best S&B turrets I've used, a huge improvement over the 5-25 in my opinion. Alpha glass. The only limitation is the reticles since it's intended to be a hunting scope, but the LRH is fine by me. Sorry, no experience...

    Hornady 338 300 grain A-Tip

    If you aren't the world's best shooter, then you are definitely the world's best reloader. Those ES numbers across all loads are incredible. Would love to hear your process.

    Long Range 7mm Bullets

    I shoot 180 Hybrids in 7RM and 28 Nosler. They are outstanding and I see no reason to shoot anything else.

    Trigger Recommendations for 6.5 Prc Hunting build

    I LOVE the TT Diamond single stage, and have it in 4 different target rifles set at 12 oz. That said, my hunting rifles have Huber 2 stage triggers set at 2.5 lbs. The TT Diamond, even at its max pull weight, is an extremely light feeling trigger (by design). To each his own, but the Diamond...

    I have a 28 Nosler on a 1086 modified by Gradous to accept CIP magazines. Feeds great, it just requires some minor surgery.
