    Index pin undersized by .0002 should it be concerning?

    The amount of "slop" you are worried about is a little smaller than the diameter of a red blood cell (assuming numbers i pulled up on a quick search are accurate). Even with tolerance stacking I think you will be fine.

    Zero stop a quick change barrel

    I haven't rezeroed my gen 2 razor in a while but isn't the zero stop tied to the zero? When you zero the scope the zero stop is 0.5 mil below zero. If you rezero after swapping barrels it won't matter either way.

    108 eld-m exploding in flight

    I don't shoot 108s but I do shoot 88s in a 223. I know when I put it together I read of a lot of people blowing up ELDs. It seems to be safe you need to keep them under 300k rpm. Mine run about 290k and haven't lost any yet. Looks like yours are running around 310k. Would probably have to back...

    What are you shooting

    I have shot 1 mile with a 223, 6xc, 6.5x47 and 338 Lapua. Accuracy wise they all shot reasonably well, however, splash is much easier to see with the 338 and wind changes are much less of an issue with it. A 6.5 PRC with 144, 153 or 156 should easily be able to make it to 1 mile. You will have a...

    H&R M12

    For the Model 12 you will have to call. It is not listed on the site but they do have a 90% inlet available. It did not take a lot of work to get it finished though, mostly used various sockets and sandpaper. The stock I ordered I just stayed with the standard LOP which it looks like is 13.75"...

    I stored my rifle on its side...

    Now he doesn't necessarily need a new scope.. He could punch a hole in the scope to drain out the misaligned nitrogen then seal it with some flex seal and re pressurize with nitrogen in the correct orientation. But if he doesn't have the tools on hand it may be cheaper to just buy a new scope.

    Rifle Scopes Need help with elevation!

    Quick answer? Maybe? It should be that easy but isn't always. I would swap to a scope with more available elevation though if switching to a 40 moa base since there is a chance you won't be able to get a zero with the 40 moa base and even if you did image sometimes gets degraded that close to...

    He’s just a little Guy! Let’s see the little 223 trainers!

    My last batch i got for $0.22 each and my first were $0.18 each from Powder Valley and Midsouth respectively. I am using 24.3gn of Varget now with a 27" Bartlein. Have gone as high as 24.7 but it kills primer pockets in 2 reloadings that high. With a 24" Krieger I would guess you would be around...

    He’s just a little Guy! Let’s see the little 223 trainers!

    The one I posted is not really a trainer as much as my new primary 1k yard rifle. I like it more than my 6.5x47. The wind drift at 1k is around 10% more than any 6 or 6.5 non magnum rounds I have seen. It really is pretty much identical to most 6BR family cartridges unless they are really hot...

    He’s just a little Guy! Let’s see the little 223 trainers!

    Unfortunately don't have any pictures of groups since I finalized load development or at distance. Pushes 88s at 2815.

    Advice. ATACR vs bender PM2

    If getting one used you can find them around the same price. I think the glass on the Schmidt does edge out the ATACR but not $1200 more. I prefer the Mil-C to the Mil-R reticle. For Schmidt the MSR would be very similar. I do like the gen 2 xr though. It is the most minimal tree I have seen.

    US Women's National Team Players Association wants TRIPLE the pay over men's team.

    Dissolve the team? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Why the hell would anyone watch a bunch of overpaid lesbians kick a ball around when just about any boys high-school soccer team in the country would wreck them.
