    Range Report Chronographs?

    Re: Chronographs? I have a CED M2 and really like it, but like it was mentioned already a chronograph is going to get you an estimate of what the bullets actually doing given the whole margin of error deal and you will still have to go and shoot/adjust and record drops at distance to know...

    AR 15 Gas/Gas Piston

    Re: AR 15 Gas/Gas Piston I put an Adams Arms kit on my m4gery and I like it alot. It does keep the guts of the reciever cleaner and cooler and from where I stand thats a good idea. You can always buy a tube/bolt carrier/gas block kit for spare parts and if the piston kit fails or you dont...

    What is the best powder scale

    Re: What is the best powder scale The Acculab 123 is a great scale, but I have to let mine warm up before I use it, Ive seen on here where some shooters leave theres on 24/7 which probably addresses that issue. If I just turn it on and go to loading it wont hold zero well, and dont plug it in...

    Re: Hi-Viz Sights for Glock Thats a fact that I need to practice more, I aint really having problems with building a good sight picture, it just seems to take longer than I like cause Im hunting the FSP during recoil recovery and the white dot seems to wash out sometimes, Like I said this...

    Powder/Primer Storage

    Re: Powder/Primer Storage I had thought about getting an old refrigerator from one of these used appliance places that the motors gone out on but still has good door seals.

    Range Report How far out to set the chrono?

    Re: How far out to set the chrono? I also set my CED M2 as far away as the cords will allow. I just remember to tell the program how for that is.

    Suppressors Hi-Viz Sights for Glock

    Re: Hi-Viz Sights for Glock HOLY CRAP! Thats alot of different sizes, I aint sure what would be best for a practical/tactical setup. I reckon that would be personal preference. Are the DP fronts ok "stout enough" for in/out holster, general beating type use?

    Re: Hang fire today I am curious about this to. I have a hang fire once every blue moon and I cant find any pattern as to ammo handling/storage that would explain it. I use CCI magnum primers almost exclusively and every now and then Ill just have a slow one. How does heat affect the primers?

    Re: All in one AR - need advice I dont have any experience with the 6.5G, would it be along the same lines as say the 280rem or maybe a light weight 308? I am just trying to get a fix on the general power of the round.
