    SMK 77 Data for AR-15

    Heh, the OP names 3 powders and the first two replies mention a different powder. :) Lots of proven SMK 77 loads for 20" AR-15s (this is probably 90% of all highpower). 24.0 gr of either R15 or Varget will do it in LC brass. Pick a primer. Load it to 2.255 or 2.260 and shoot it. Most...

    Mag length heavy AR15 bullets/loads

    I'd like it better if Sierra would sell those bullets to the public. Someday? Until then I guess I'll just keep using the 75 A-Max.

    Scratch-resistant glasses and/or lens treatments

    The problem: I'm routinely damaging my shooting glasses and it's starting to piss me off. I don't need corrective lenses but I do religiously wear eye pro when shooting. When I shoot ARs with iron sights from some positions, my nose is right up against the charging handle and sometimes my...

    Suppressors Best 7.62 Semi-Auto Suppressor

    To each his own. Quiet was NOT nearly my top priority for a centerfire rifle can: 1) Good QD mount system. I have many rifles. I didn't want to buy many suppressors. 2) Minimal POI shift. Doesn't hurt a rifle that shoots with precision. 3) Durability. It's a lifetime purchase. 4) Good...

    equipment priority advice

    I don't get the snark about the 70 pounds of powder. 70 pounds = 490,000 grains = about 11-12,000 rounds of .308 He's got about 10K primers. Having powder for 11K rounds isn't outrageous. Anyone who's been awake the last 6 years has noticed that components aren't always available. Powder...

    Suppressors Best 7.62 Semi-Auto Suppressor

    Just about any rifle can from any of the major manufacturer should be Just Fine for semi-auto fire. I have suppressors from SureFire, AAC, and SilencerCo. They're great. If your intended use is a lot of semi-auto I might shy away from direct thread cans and go with one of the QD latching...

    Any other bad experiences from Aero Precision?

    I have several Aero Precision uppers and lowers, and an Armalite monolithic upper which I believe is a rebranded Aero COP. High quality, no problems. No experience with their customer service. I won't buy from them again though. During the worst of the Sandy Hook shortage, they jacked up...

    Any hope in overcoming weak-side dominance and poor eyesight?

    Consider getting your eyeball lasered. I've spent more money on dumber things, and less money on much dumber things, but I can't think of a single thing in my life I've spent money on that I've been happier with. I'd been considering it for years, but it was my shitty shooting when I wasn't...

    Who makes the best annealer...? Why?

    Now you're just being obtuse. Obviously, a simpler machine that does everything I want it to do is superior to a more complex machine that does things I don't want. For my purposes, anyway. Clear enough? Enjoy your Giraud. It's a fine tool.

    Who makes the best annealer...? Why?

    Yes I would, and that time is being put to good use. In reality my sammich maker likes to feed the annealer so it's a moot point. Bottom line though, I didn't see any value in a feature I don't want, particularly one involving moving parts which could break or fail or need adjustment. Love...

    Who makes the best annealer...? Why?

    Bench source. I know some people like the Giraud because it has a magazine and feeds itself, but I wasn't going to leave a tool running a flame unattended, so that was an anti-feature for me.

    Suppressors Have suppressors for pistols but are rifles hearing safe?

    There are two schools of thought on this. One group thinks that if "it didnat rang mah ears" then it's hearing safe. The other group knows that hearing damage is cumulative, irreversible, and that the injury threshold is below the pain/discomfort threshold. Tinnitus sucks. Wear ear pro when...

    Suppressors Is this normal for a Suppressor?

    Jesus Christ, it's a tool, not a fashion accessory. Who cares if the hole looks off to the eye, as long as it's in line with the bore. Silencerco weighed in and said it's safe. Shoot the damn thing already. If you get a strike or POI shifts a ridiculous amount, Silencerco will make it right.

    Which Midway Range Bag

    Midway sells a 5.11 range bag that's pretty nice. Item 186816. More expensive than the Midway branded ones but I'm pretty happy with mine. Think I paid $99 for it, on sale.

    Gempro 250 what's going on?

    I've never had trouble with my gempro 250. I did put some ferrite cores on the power cord. I give it about 10 minutes to warm up and it is always exactly spot on. If you're going to use a digital scale, no matter how cheap or expensive, you really ought to have a set of check weights for it...

    Suppressors db reduction when switching from .308 to .223?

    I think the general consensus is that when used on .223 rifles, the sound reduction a .30 cal can loses from its larger bore diameter, it typically gets back from its larger volume. You're likely to be about as pleased with a fullsize .30 cal can's performance on a .223 gun, as you are with a...

    Advanced Marksmanship 165- or 168-Grain .308: Accuracy Through Long-Range (Duh!) Glass-Penetration

    Yeah, that was the point of my post - that the entire gun rights issue isn't about NEED at all, but our inherent freedom to possess weapons (and by extension, the knowledge and skills to use them). And how we, as gun owners, should be very wary of statements that imply NEED ever comes into the...
