    Suppressors Subsonic loads "prohibited" in AAC cans?

    Re: Subsonic loads "prohibited" in AAC cans? Thanks for the data, Rotor! I will have to try that when I get all my reloading stuff bought. My twist is 1:11, so I might go with a 175gr bullet, but round nose might work even at 180 since it's shorter than a pointed bullet of the same weight.

    Taking the plunge!

    So I did a little calculation and realized that I'd be paying about $0.50 per round if I reloaded as opposed to the $1.50 or so I pay now when you figure in shipping. I assumed 5 reloads per cartridge, but from what I hear, it can be more, which would drive the cost down even further. And once...

    Suppressors Subsonic loads "prohibited" in AAC cans?

    Hey guys, After 6 long months of waiting, I finally got my first can for my .308 last week. It's an AAC Cyclone, and it proved itself well worth the wait (and the suitcase of cash I had to hand over). I had a blast at the range today. The reason I'm posting is because the manual that came...

    Removing stock picatinny from TRG-22

    Re: Removing stock picatinny from TRG-22 Well, the acetone did the trick...mostly. From a foot away, the gun looks like it just came out of the box. If you look closely, though, there are a couple of small patches of sheen left. I don't think acetone is quite the right solvent for whatever...

    Removing stock picatinny from TRG-22

    Re: Removing stock picatinny from TRG-22 Thanks for all the info, guys! I do have a heat gun, and I'm gonna try that later this week. I say later because the screws are not hex head, they are regular flat head. In doing research for this, I found out that I have to use a hollow ground...

    Removing stock picatinny from TRG-22

    Re: Removing stock picatinny from TRG-22 I did look at the Near mounts, and I came accross Spuhr too. They look solid and get good reviews. Here's the rub: I already have the Sako mount. I got it at alocal shop cause I saw that they dropped the price. I didn't realize the rail would be...

    Removing stock picatinny from TRG-22

    Re: Removing stock picatinny from TRG-22 Thanks for the reply, jbell! What do you mean when you say to hit it in an upward direction? The rail sits in the rexeiver in such a way that I'm not sure how I could hit it "upward." Also, will there be any residue left after the rail is off? If...

    Removing stock picatinny from TRG-22

    Hey guys, I'm a proud owner of a shiny (well, not actually shiny ) new Sako TRG-22. I absolutely love almost everything about this weapon, except the picatinny rail that came glued to the receiver. I was planning to use Sako's 3-ring mount, but it won't fit with the picatinny on. I...

    Re: some noob questions Thanks for the info, guys! As far as magnification, I was actually looking at the higher power scopes (20x and above). Am I wrong to think that these would be better for the 1k shots? What is the difference in terms of function between MOA and mil dot...
