    GWOT Toters Of The Mk11 & 12 - C’mon In...

    Well, see now your deviating from the point of this thread! Of course a winmag is going to be your better choice for a supported overwatch position. Even for 3-400m... You hauled it out... But let’s take your scenario and bring it back to the point of this thread: let’s say you were out on...

    GWOT Toters Of The Mk11 & 12 - C’mon In...

    Agreed, and I will say it was poor judgment on my part to tag along on that bandwagon in the first place since the subject was brought up in the thread. I jumped on it as low hanging fruit for framework since the media versions have already ‘painted the picture’ for everyone, regardless of how...

    GWOT Toters Of The Mk11 & 12 - C’mon In...

    Decision making process must go way beyond the actual shooting part. Another thing to consider is this was 2005... Rifle/ammo data, atmospherics, understanding of ballistics, etc were very different then. Also keep in mind that a “trained sniper” falls somewhere on a very large spectrum of...

    Match Quality 300blk Brass - Make It or Buy It?

    Well, buying anything right now is going to be far fetched. I have plenty of LC and would rather build something tuned for consistency. That way I can easily replenish as needed. I would just like a good, sound process, especially since I have an AMP. It’s been hard to filter out load data...

    Match Quality 300blk Brass - Make It or Buy It?

    Thanks. Yours is about the same use I’ll have for mine when it’s built. 11.5” barrel and just looking for good consistency with ES and such for up to 3-400m to toy with. But mostly it’s going to be a <200m application. Just wanting to make good brass from the get go since I have the...

    GWOT Toters Of The Mk11 & 12 - C’mon In...

    The purpose was not so much a “gotcha” question, but to bring relevance to the points previously being discussed in this thread. Let’s take the combat/life or death/yada yada out of it but still keep the stakes high relevant to this thread. So a parallel to that cheesy scenario in the...

    Match Quality 300blk Brass - Make It or Buy It?

    From making your brass and obviously you understand loading consistently, have you noticed any appreciable difference in loads from newly formed brass to after fire formed? I’m going to look into that Honeybadger setup today. Thanks for that.

    GWOT Toters Of The Mk11 & 12 - C’mon In...

    Since it was brought up, let’s use the Shah situation to frame a scenario for this very thread: let’s say theres a target, that’s not quite as high on the High Value list like the Lone Survivor example. But a considerable amount of time and resources have been expended to track our scenario’s...

    GWOT Toters Of The Mk11 & 12 - C’mon In...

    There’s a lot more to “making that shot” in real life situations, particularly that one, than slinging a round at a stationary piece of steel and risking having reengage that same stationary target to ‘get your hit’. Let’s not bring that shit in here.

    Match Quality 300blk Brass - Make It or Buy It?

    The “match” in quotes was said in humor, but to make the point I’m interested in consistency. Not just the simplest and easiest way to make a piece of brass for shooting into hillsides. I’d rather not be wondering about brass variance or conversion variance I caused when it comes to load...

    Match Quality 300blk Brass - Make It or Buy It?

    I’m finally going to get into loading for this caliber. Have plenty of Lake City brass and don’t mind taking the time to convert it. That said, most everyone on this site understands and values consistency. For those who have both made and bought brass, to get quality “match” style...

    Wylde Chamber vs. CLE Chamber

    If I remember correctly, they have always used Wylde in the precision barrels.

    So what is the going rate for primers?

    What I would like to understand is the trade value trend I’ve been seeing... what’s with trading 2x large primers for 1x small ones? Is this a thing or have I just been seeing people testing the market?
