    Night Vision PVS-27 mount question

    Hello all, I apologize in advance as I’m sure this has been asked before but the search function wasnt leading me to the answer, for some reason the links to the threads didnt work on the search results. I need to mount a PVS-27 on a semi-auto 6.5cm (falkor defense omega) and a bolt gun with...

    Peterson Brass

    Bought 500 rds Peterson 6.5cm brass. Very consistent in weight, out of 25 samples total of 1.5grain variance. Just starting to load these for the first time and since they were bulk packed wanted to run an expander in them to uniform the necks. Was measuring necks to figure out what...

    Ok bought a brand new scope direct from Leupold. Mk5HD 7-35x56 MIL TMR sku 176124 Was shrink wrapped, all original packaging everything unopened.

    Done with Retumbo

    I give up. I have put 100 rounds through my Gradous 7RM and still don't have a load that works. Nosler brass, Berger 180 hybrids, Fed 215m. I have varied charge weights and switched to non mag primers to no avail. I can get tiny groups out to 200 but the ES is always well over 50, as much as...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Mag release...what's ur preference?

    Just curious, until a few years ago I had always had sidearms with the standard button mag release. I now carry a Glock19 instead of a 1911 because of mag capacity. But now, having had usp40s for a few years the mag release at the base of the trigger guard has REALLY grown on me to the point...

    DPMS SASS and Lapua Scenars

    I have run 175smks almost exclusively through my 308s, bolt or semiauto. Thinking about going to 155scenars, for a little more velocity out of the SASS. Has anyone got scenars shooting well out of a sass? Seems like most of them like the heavier bullets. Mine is about 3/4-1 moa with 175s on the...

    Do you always remove military primer crimps?

    I have noticed on some mil brass I have little to no trouble ignoring the crimp and seating a primer to the correct depth. I have seen this with win and lc brass. Primer is seating fully like it is supposed to. Anyone else just ignore the crimp? I see no reason to mess with it if the primer...

    7RemMag Reamer - how far out to throat new rifle

    How far out would you feel comfortable seating a 162Amax? How about Berger 180 hybrids? I was going to plan on throating for 180 hybrids just touching the lands with a caliber worth of bearing surface in the case. As the throat erodes, the bullet would have to move out of the case, eventually...

    SWAT being used to settle scores.

    There are now so many swat teams, being used so often with so little research, that criminal elements of the public have figured out it is easy to dupe them into raiding their adversaries. If that doesn't prove they are being overused I don't know what does. The technique is called "swatting."...

    DPMS SASS FGMM velocity very low...

    I just shot four 5 round strings through the SASS...and the FGMM 168s averaged 2458 and the 175s only 2405. Doesnt that seem pretty slow, even for an 18 inch barrel? Shot some of my reloads intended for the bolt gun as well, these are 45grains Varget and 175SMKs in FGMM brass...these were...
