    US suppressor cleaning question

    Quick question about ultra sonic suppressor cleaning. If the US cleaner uses a mesh basket, will it scratch up the surface of the can? Do I need to wrap the can in a piece of old t-shirt before I drop it in? Thanks

    Reloading Equipment SOLD! WTS 6.5 brass, once fired

    I just finished a class and have 163 pieces of Hornady 6.5 C brass. All once fired, originally held 147 gr ELD match pills. NOT cleaned, deburred, deprimed, resized or anything else. Just box, gun, boom, ground, bag, to you. :) I know there is a value to these but I don't know how much. I don't...

    two Kestrel questions, 5700 E/AB +Link

    #1 - when you turn on the Kestrel, during the splash screens you start to get a battery capacity reading. It disappears once the splash screens are finished. I know it's not 100% accurate because I've put a new battery in and gotten readings below 100%. How can you see what the battery...

    Rifle Scopes 4 / 6 screw rings vs mounts, when and why?

    I did a search and didn't see a thread on this but apologies if it's been covered before. On my 308 and 6.5 I used NF 4 screw Ultralite rings for the optics (Burris XTRIII and ATACR). When does it make sense to go to the 6 screw rings? When does it make sense to move to a mount like the...

    Issue with iLink Ballistics for iOS, multiple entries for one device

    I have multiple 5700 Elites each with their own entry in the Connect Device portion of the iOS app. However a single 5700 Elite has two entries in the "Connect Device" portion. One entry has the device serial number, the second entry has the new name created through the kestrel Link program for...

    Question on velocity correction

    Sorry, newbie question. I have some dope on my rifle and a recently purchased 5700 elite. I plugged in all the variables to generate the gun profile then looked at the proposed ballistic solutions for various distances. The 5700 solutions for elevation are off across the board compared to my...

    Is 6.5 Cred that much "dirtier" than 308?

    For several years, I've shot a 24" Rem action 308 bolt with a SiCo Omega attached. I have close to 3k rounds through it. Most were FGGM though lately I was shooting the old Prime stuff. When done shooting, even after a multi-day training session (~250 rnds), I could detach the can and there...

    What is the correct LoP setup?

    What is the correct LoP for a precision rifle? I read several places on the inter-webs (which are never wrong) that you should take your firing arm and bend it at the elbow in a 90 degree angle. You should be able to grab the trigger comfortably and have the butt stock comfortably but firmly...

    Looking for a magnetic option to stabilize barrels inside a safe

    I'm getting a safe shortly. In addition to my long rifles, I have some AR-15 SBRs which wont fit into the standard height safe racks. I'm looking for something like the Lockdown Magnetic Barrel Rest (https://www.amazon.com/LOCKDOWN-222177-Magnetic-Barrel-Rest/dp/B004RQPM2O) to use inside the...

    I have started to peruse the exchange here looking for a "gently loved" scope or a smoking good deal. But I was wondering, where else should I look to find good deals on scopes? Thanks

    Pointer to recommended / reasonable Ruger PR modifications / upgrades?

    First off, I know there is an existing RPR thread but at 65+ pages, I'm not going to wade through the whole thing. I'm thinking of buying a RPR in 6.5 Creedmore. I know the 2018 model changed some things though I'm not sure I know all the changes. What I'm looking for is a pointer to, or a list...

    Need info on Prime 308 projectile -- Applied Ballistics

    I'm trying to set up a profile for Prime ammo 308 in Applied Ballistics for a class tomorrow. I know, last minute. I'm trying to figure out which bullet profile is the closest match to what they use. Would SMK 175 be the best?? I'll write them as well but thought I'd ask here in case someone...

    When do I need to care about Dens. Alt. changes?

    I'm taking a 5 day LR training class (100 - 900 yards). Ive been before and know over the course of the day the temperature will change almost 40 degrees. This has an effect on D.A. From the DOPE I have from the previous class, the day will start around 2300 and go to 4000 feet. My question is...

    Suppressors Need diameter of Dead Air Flash hider

    I need someone who has the Dead Air Flash hider to do me a favor. If you have a caliper can you measure the widest part of the DA Flash hider? Im considering changing to DA muzzle devices and the Key Mo adapter on my SiCo cans. However on one of my piston SBRs the piston adjustment is less than...
