    True velocity inside 1200yds?

    I'd argue truing is only helpful if you don't have an accurate chronograph. It's challenging to account for environmental variables and shooter-induced error with enough fidelity at the ranges needed to true effectively. If you're using a magnetospeed or labradar, paired with a CDM, that's as...

    Sizing die with Mandrel vs Separate Mandrel Die

    ^ one of the reasons I switched. I haven't verified this, but I've also read the under-tension technique potentially contributes to increasing brass length. The idea that I could reduce the need to trim was enough for me to switch from the one-die with Redding carbide ball to a dedicated die...

    Soliciting some PVS-15 advice

    I don't have any suggestions about the mount. Concerning the focus ring, the tube body should be purged/filled with argon. I wouldn't open that up, especially if you can still adjust focus on the eyepiece.

    Speed or Wind?

    Maybe it depends on what you're doing. I think people shooting comps like to keep the math simple, IE: how many yards is my gun a six mph gun? Run your bullets faster, and you increase that distance. The reality of things is very few people are doing the math in their heads, so it doesn't...

    Arc nucleus and triggertech special

    Agree with @KnowNothing256; this isn't normal. I also have a TT Special on a Nucleus 2.0, and everything works as it should. I've e-mailed the ARC people about a magazine issue, and they responded within 45 minutes. I'd reach out to them and see what they think, or swap that trigger out with a...

    LabRadar question

    I'm unsure about the aiming devices. If you can use open sights, you can aim a lab radar without a 3rd party sight. I haven't dropped one shot since I started using the device. I've only used it on centerfire rifles, suppressed and unsuppressed. Buy a mini-tripod. Buy an external battery...

    Rifle Mounted Range Finder

    I've used the Wilcox unit, and its performance is underwelming. You can only be sure you're aiming at targets at, or near, the range you co-witnessed the LRF and your optic, unless you're using it at night. I suspect this is why most of these things never make it out of development. Why guess...

    Brass Rotation

    My case rotation considerations: - I don't mix different brands of brass. If I have different brands of brass, I'll save until I've got enough to work up a load with a specific bullet. IE: I save Winchester brass for hunting loads. - I will mix brass between rifles if precision isn't a top...

    Anyone manuf. die cases/holders for dies with Hornady LNL quick-change bushings?

    I use plastic organizers from Plano to hold mine. The cases are clear and I write the caliber/what type die on the lid. I think they sell them in the fishing tackle section of Walmart.

    water canteen that you can boil in.

    Jet boil and nalgene bottles. Boil water at night and put the bottles under armpits or at feet to stay warm. I don't know of a water storage/boil device. You might want to look at Steri Pens. You can purify water in the storage device without heat. SteriPEN | SteriPEN is the world's...

    Gunsmithing Anyone make a quality T10 torx bit?

    I have some Hilti torx bits that are holding up well but they are not being used professionally.

    Who Jams and who Jumps?

    I agree with Willys and would argue that the small bit of accuracy the you "might" gain from jump is outweighed by being able to unload your rifle without dumping powder all over the place. I know you're thinking that you can work around it but I've tried to operate like that and it's not worth...

    Gunsmithing m118LR issues with bolt gun

    I have this problem as well. I have to seat my 118lr a couple of thousandths lower to make it work without hard chambering, IE: jamming into the lands. I think that's what your experiencing. I prefer just not to shoot that stuff. There is much better ammo out there. I would not change a...

    Reloading Store in or near Seattle?

    I don't recall the name, but there is a place in Cle Elm that is hands down the best place I have ever been in. It's the only place I could find a Co-Ax in stock at the time. Probably pretty far out of your way, but if you ever find yourself out on I-90 it's worth stopping in to check them out.

    For those loading for a while...FGMM Brass VS LAPUA Brass

    Lapua is much better; no brass prep and durable. If you bump the shoulder correctly and learn to anneal you will end up throwing it out because you know it shouldn't last that long! Federal is really bad for reloading. Lake city brass is also pretty shitty unless it's 118LR and even then it's...

    SCAR 17 optic opinion

    The Mk17 recoils like any other rifle with the same mass and cartridge. I use one with the issued optic(s). Great rifle, lackluster issued glass. For the OP, run what you have. I've been thinking about buying what you have to replace what I'm running. Elcan's suck. The user will introduce...

    rangefinder

    Leica, Swaro and Zeiss are the only three brands to consider at your price point. I own a Leica and could not be happier. All three will do the job. The big things I considered were; size, time to range, dealer support, glass quality and durability. I dismissed all the features having to do...

    Gunsmithing Firing Pin Releases When Bolt Closes

    Re: Firing Pin Releases When Bolt Closes I had this happen as well. Let left some oil in my barrel/action, as I knew I would be away from my rifle for some time (7months or so). Nothing crazy, just to prevent rust. Came back and went to a high angle course with said rifle. The trigger...

    Reloading for Precision AR-15

    Re: Reloading for Precision AR-15 77 gr SMK, Tac, lapua brass and CCI primers. Powder flows great through lock and load powder measure. Ammo is built on a progressive press almost as fast as pistol ammo. There is an added delay to wipe off the lube. I can't detect a difference in accuracy...
