    Suppressors "The Dip" is more poisonous than hydrogen cyanide?

    What you have created there is Peracetic acid, likely in high concentration. Suggest you review this: www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9926439. Also suggest you inspect any metal the solution touched before using.

    Rifle Scopes Badger base (306-46) on 700 5R - need bedding? (PHOTOS)

    I used a Leupy 20MOA rail for this reason... simply fit better. IMHO - do you need to bed..no..... should you bed.. probably. That said the best course might be to look at a rail that fits your M700 better intrinsically.

    Rifle makes you look better than you are?

    First of all, we have to remember that the cost of equipment is relative to income. Some guys can drop on a GAP w/ S&B on top and not even flinch... and I don't blame them for buying the best because they can a afford it; good for them. While the notion you mention is meant to humble and an...

    Maggie’s 9+6=15 Common Core. Are you fucking kidding me?

    Unfortunately teachers have to work with the lowest common denominator in the classroom, which means the others in that class will only receive that level of instruction. We will continue to let the rest of the work catch and surpass us in education until we allow the grade placement based on...

    Opinion on Spotter Choice

    Consensus on Razor for $1k value - perfect, thanks. When I want to know what kind of bug is crawling on my 1k yd target, I'll pull out the checkbook again... (sigh)

    Opinion on Spotter Choice

    Wow, 2 for the Vortex. I thought the HD 85mm was a Razor and north of $1500 and 80mm for Viper HD @ at my budget level... which are we talking about here. I'll also be looking on the used section today to see what's out there.

    Opinion on Spotter Choice

    Have been using Binos but would like to add a spotter to the stable. Mission: -.223 and .308 paper @250yd -Calling shots to 1000yd on steel -Longer range sessions so prefer longer(ish) eye relief -Reticle would be great, but optional -Not much hunting so weight is secondary to optical...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig 226 15rd -> 20rd SCT

    I'm looking but having no luck - does Sig or anyone else sell just the extended base pad to convert a 15rd magazine to the 20 rd 'SCT' magazine? Is this even an option?

    Which seating stem to I need / have?

    Thanks for the quick replies all - Sorry reversed the Secant/Tangent - I like the idea of 'forming' your own custom, that's slick. Now that you say that, recall hearing long ago you can use hot glue to the same end with less permanent results. I'll give a try. Best I can describe - It's...

    Which seating stem to I need / have?

    I have a ~3 year old Redding micro seating die for .308. The opening in the seating stem fit my 178gr A-max 'perfectly' (no wiggle). I'm working with 175gr SMKs now, and there is some wiggle room. Concentricity on my A-maxes are almost perfect, but .003 on my SMKs. I know there is debate on...

    R700 5R 308 Ammo

    Re: R700 5R 308 Ammo Good results with 175gr SMK @ 2690fps - also likes 178gr AMAXs but they are much more sensitive to seating depth so you have to experiment.

    Gunsmithing Palma Barrel Weights

    Does anyone have the barrel weight of medium and heavy Palma contours when finished at 24"/26"? Hard to compare to straight tapers when weight estimates are w/ 30"+ (~5.4# and ~6.5# respectively). Thanks.

    My new ELR Rifle 7mm saum

    Re: My new ELR Rifle Nice setup! A few questions. On your target you say .5 off lands... are you really jumping these half an inch? or is it .005? What is your COAL with the VLDs? Do you know your velocity from the long tube yet?

    Gunsmithing Medium Action Options

    Thinking about a .284 or 7mm SAUM build in the future. Short actions really seem to limit these cartridges w/ 180+ gr pills, but I am not willing to go to a full long action. Is there a way to make a 591 action a 'medium' action with some milling? I know Defiance makes some Medium actions...

    7mm creedmoor

    Re: 7mm creedmoor Trying to get my head around this... Would the only real advantage of 7mmGPC over 7mm-08 AI be the additional wiggle room in the magazine for loading options? Or is there something I'm missing?
