    Best All Around Supressor(titanium)

    Looking for advice on the best titanium suppressor to run on my bolt gun and Semis. Went to a shop and handled a Sandman X which is very heavy feeling and also a Huxwrx Flow 762 TI. Saw a test online where the groups opened up on 308 semi with the Flow. Curious about BT Titanium can which is...

    Burris XTR2-best scope option for around 500 bucks?

    Seen some XTR2s around for a little over 500. To me, a old flagship scope is better than a (insert internet brand superscope). Is the anything 500-600 that can compete? I’d love to know some other options. I run one on my 22lr and really enjoy it. Contemplating getting a couple more.

    Automatic dispensing powder scale

    I've got a manual RCBS scale that works fine for what I need to do. I'm curious if the automatic dispensers are worth looking at to speed up the process. The current process being scooping powder and trickling in until I hit the number I want. I was watching Ultimate Reloader on Youtube talk...

    Probably should be in the stupid marksmanship question

    I went out to true my ballistic software today(StrelokPro ). I have a muzzle velocity of 2770 from a magnetospeed using Barnes 6.5CM 127LRX Factory ammo. Seemed reasonable as my tikka is always slower than stated muzzle velocity of 2800+-Zeroed at 100. Go to shoot 300. End up with adrop of...

    Lost my Bushnell Arc rangefinder

    Lost my trusty rangefinder while practicing for elk archery season. I’ve had it probably 8 years and it did everything I needed it too although the reticle and display was less than perfect. I’ve got a bunch of cabelas points to replace it. I’m looking at the Sig 2200, Vortex Razor Hd, or the...

    Indoor range zero- be gentle

    should I hold atmospherics from the indoor range (70 degrees, etc) or should I just use the info populated into the app from the closest weather station? I assume pressure would be the same, but this time of year temp is a huge difference. Flame on if you must, just a honest question

    KRG Bravo Tikka

    I am planning a elk/mule deer hunt next fall to Montana. I just got a Tikka Superlite 6.5cm as a gift from my employer. This is obviously a light gun. I am used to a Mcm A5 on my 243 bolt gun. The stock on the Tikka has way to low of a comb even for me to use comfortably with a low hunting...

    6mm bullet options

    I currently shoot 105 Amaxes out of my 243 with great success. Great Accuracy and good performance on groundhogs and deer. I am having difficulties finding them in stock and may have to move on to things I can find in stock. What can you guys tell me about cost, accuracy, ease of load...

    Switching powders

    I use H4350 for my 243 and get great results from it. It is the only powder I have used to reload my 243. Availability has been awful for months and I might have half a pound left. I see that some places have H1000 and Retumbo in stock locally. Am I going to give anything up making the...

    Chronograph data for 243 and 223

    I used my new Magnetospeed for the first time today. 243-22" barrel Win brass CCI primer 39.0 H4350 105 Amax 2925fps AVG (5 shots) SD 11 This was much faster than I thought it would be and seems faster than some guys running stout loads on longer barrels. Check this thread for comparisons...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns IWB holster

    What is a good IWB for a m&p compact? I have no experience with IWB setups. I do have 2 DSG Arms kydex holsters but they are not good stuffed inside a waistband. I am 5'6" 165 so not the biggest area to hide a gun. Not sure how much concealed carrying will be done with it yet, but I want the...

    Choice?

    I'm looking at 2 used AR's. One is a Lmt defender DI and the other is a lwrc M6a2 I think. Lmt is 1250 and the lwrc is 1350 I think. Both have quad rails and buis sights. This will be my first AR and I had budgeted around 1200 for it, but a little over is fine. I have read the whole debate...

    New to AR's

    I am looking to buy a AR pretty soon. I would like a gun that can run steel cased ammo for close range practice and also run match ammo for stretching out a bit. Yes, I will have a red dot and a scope to switch out for those scenarios. I would like the gun to be capable of MOA accuracy with...

    Sierra 243 load data

    I have a Sierra PDF on my Ipad that say the accuracy load for the 107 SMK is 39.6 IMR-4350 at a velocity of 2800fps. The H4350 load is the same and is quoted as the max load. I have both powders, but have only loaded 243 with the H4350. Has anyone used or tried this load? I am thinking about...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kydex holster for M&P Pro 5"

    I can't find a maker who can make these except Raven and I just don't want to wait that long. Heads up to the makers on here that I would love to give someone my business.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kydex holster question

    Will any of the similar "Raven" type holsters with room for a light work without the light? I don't have a light yet, but I am looking at getting one. Could I just use the light holster as a regular holster until I get a light?

    Rifle Cant

    This weekend was my second time shooting 500 yards knowing my dope getting hits right away instead of a spotter walking me in. Shooting a 243 105 Amax. All of my shots both times shooting this distance were about 5 inches to the right. There was some breeze in that direction right where I was...
