    Who wants to boycott 3 shot group reviews & reviewers?

    1 is enough, 2 is plenty. 3 is overkill.

    Surefire ICAR

    A .250" diameter bullet (.243/.250 bore/groove barrel) would be the bees knees. Sexy 120-125gr pills in a 30 degree shoulder necked down 264 USA at 2.5-2.6" COAL... Just non-standard enough to never happen, though. IMO .257" bullets are too close to .264's to warrant much change between...

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    1ft square targets with decent contrast with the background with an M4 you should probably be able to hit to at least 300yd fairly reliably from a prone position or anything supported. The old USMC table 1 500yd line shooting an E-mod was "gravy" points if you had any semblance of wind...

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    I've seen worse. Generally I agree... but sometimes components align to make something truly spectacularly horrible.

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    Shooting fundamentals are more important. There's more stuffing moving around and NPA, follow-through, etc. make a bigger difference vs. bolt actions. However, the mechanical system is also flimsy. You're talking with most AR's a super thin-wall aluminum shell (Upper receiver) that has a...

    Why do people load so hot?

    That's the bit that I don't get. You see it with surprising frequency (like almost 1-4 people that I notice or am squadded close enough to see at every match). Show up to a match and start popping primers, or it rains and you pop primers, or it's hotter than when you loaded the ammo and you...

    Why do people load so hot?

    I used to shoot suspicious internet load data through our calibrated pressure and velocity test barrels until I got a few that were well north of 80ksi and I decided fucking up a couple thousand dollar transducer wasn't worth my entertainment.

    Mixing brass lots, same headstamp.

    Yep. There's still some variability in 20 shot groups that honestly might be enough to explain most of the difference for the times I do beat it, and like I said it's not common for me to beat it (and not by much) but it does occasionally happen. Our fixture is set up in the tunnel hooked up to...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Yeah definitely need 26-28" barrels to get 2750. Can also seat longer (~2.350" for A-tips).

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    4500-6000 rounds of match barrel life, no recoil, small primers, only consumes 28gr of Varget every shot... 2750fps with a 109-110gr pill is no slouch. Never had problems hitting long ball targets with it.

    Mixing brass lots, same headstamp.

    On occasion I've beat the fixture for groups, but it's not usually the case. More likely to be the lucky circumstance of me counteracting poor dispersion with my (lack of) aiming ability. It's not huge, but probably averages ~0.1-0.15 MOA on the whole that the fixture is better than me.

    Yikes... That sucks.

    Mixing brass lots, same headstamp.

    I wouldn't do it. As was mentioned above, testing the individual lots separately is the only way you can have confidence in it. Once it's mixed it's a real bastard (potentially impossible?) to sort. Hornady, for example, has several different "lines" that produce brass and there are minor...

    Groups are to small

    Long term repeatable SD: Best: Single digit, 5-9fps (rare to see <8fps for a true SD over a large sample, but occasionally happens) Good/Common: 10-15fps Okayish: <20fps Group Size Best I've seen floats around 0.5-0.6 MOA Common for PRS style rifles is 0.6-1.2 MOA Thin profile and light...

    4DOF Zero Angle is not "sticking"

    Yep work flow looks solid. So typically we see either linear or non-linear errors. Linear errors are the same at every distance. I'm .2 high at 100, .2 high at 600, and .2 high at 1000. That's a zero issue, either with the app or the optic/shooter. Non-linear issues are more like perfect...

    4DOF Zero Angle is not "sticking"

    As a point of clarification, every time you enter the "Find zero angle" page, it clears the impact locations from the last time you entered it. It will always say 0,0. That button is to open a tool to calculate zero angle, and it doesn't store or remember the last inputs for the current ZA...

    4DOF Zero Angle is not "sticking"

    Please write out the complete list of variables you're inputting on the "Find zero angle" page, as well as the specs for building the rifle profile. I know it's a pain in the ass but it really helps to ensure when others try to replicate the issue they're doing the same thing you are. Often...
