I agree, just looking at things from a logical standpoint. I've never understood the whole 'ad stuff to a short barrel to make it legal lenght' vs. just leave it, since it will physically be the same length so no gain in mobility, or make it the lenght you want either legally, or not...

I'm not a hunter (yet) but find it ridiculous how people claim X caliber isn't enough/ethical, when it's been proven a ton of times historically. And the wantingness (new word right there!) of using super magnums!

I'm definitely not an expert at reloading but three things comes to mind. *Use a powder that will get the velocity you need instead of trying with some that doesn't. *Why 'pin and weld' a shorter barrel to make legal rifle lenght instead of just leaving it? Especially since you're chasing...

It's interesting to see how tough and bulletproof wild game have gotten over the years. Impossible today to hunt with a 357 Magnum apparently! 😉 Have to be 338 Lapua, or to be really sure, 50 BMG!

Interesting. My can, a SWR/SilencerCo Octane 45 (first gen, a.k.a. 'old'!) Can be configured any which way internally since the baffles have no indexing or markings. The latter I'm about to change since it's a bit of a PITA to line them up as-is. And even with the comparative huge exit hole...

Did you get data of relation of shift vs. orientation?

Recently got myself a 22LR rifle to play around with and have been shooting it suppressed mostly but some without the can too. Did some quick ń dirty testing on groupings @ 50 yards, which I also used for scope zero distance, and noticed that the groups without was a bit tighter and a bit...

It's interesting to me that this story blowing up online all over right now. Because a buddy of mine, and neighbour, was one of the Rangers that was there! And I got to hear some first-hand of it when we where hanging out, bbq'ing, at my house a few weeks ago. Strange timing.

Poulsbo is very close to where I live and I didn't know there was (is?) a rifle manufacturer there!

I think it's considerably more than 'rightwingers' think it is. Not only on this forum but in the shooting community in general too. I know quite a few ex military guys, most SpecOps, and they are all democrats... It's definitely a misconception that 'all the guns' are owned by Republicans. Yes...

I had a Les Baer ('Concept 8' all stainless 4") and it did shot well but compared to my Dan Wesson's (5" 'Valor' and a 4.25" 'Specialist') the fit and especially finish was WAY less! And the Wessons shoot as well/accurate. Most say the Baer's are super tight and need tons of rounds to break-in...

I'm fresh into handloading myself and hence been reading everything/anything to gather as much info as possible, since you can never know 'to much'. Seen this exact question asked quite a few time in differently forums and might have a different way of looking at it from other experiences (been...
