    Does anyone weight their primers?

    And many exterior variables are ultimately out of your control and require compensation. There are different routes for different disciplines but the rifle is stated. Loading for BC (probably implied) and MV is of significance. Exterior before interior.

    IMR4064 vs. RL15

    It's your machine. "43ish RL15 175SMK was at 2300 fps" and 2.80 for a SMK in FGMM smells wrong. Rem 700 AAC SD 20" 1:10 twist "43gr IMR4064, 175SMK was at 2540 fps" no doubt Looking back through the book, anything "43ish" in factory Rem (per chamber and 175s or 178s) and FGMM brass was pushing...

    Options for painting AICS skins?

    As far as adhesion to AICS skins; Duracoat is just as good as Ceracoat ignoring the finish itself in build and gloss. I'm not an expert Duracoat or coating person but I think it got a bad rap in the wider market. AICS skins are preparation intensive, it's an oily plastic. I’m a hack and I...

    Throat length Vs. Cartridge Overall Length questions.

    Sure. Don’t fear the jump. For the majority of shooters it is inevitable. As far as loading to the lands, understand that in the tiny slices of time upon primer ignition, the bullet can start to “squirt” out the case, changing the case volume. The case volume or powder chamber is dynamic...

    NITECORE Flashlights

    For shits and grins, here is the same P25 Smilodon next to the Nitecore Tiny Monster TM26. The room was dark.

    NITECORE Flashlights

    I got to try the P25. I LIKE it. I say go for it. Good throw for the size. The tail button takes previdence and it has memory so it should work OK in weapon mounted applications. NITECORE: LEFT: P25, highest output RIGHT: Surefire M2 Centurion with P60L LED

    Throat length Vs. Cartridge Overall Length questions.

    Hi Ryan, 1) Is it surprising to have a throat this long? I realize it is a factory gun, not a custom. Nope. Especially the Rem700 2) If I load to the 2.880 so the magazine will work, is the .058" too far for the bullet to be jumping? Nope. 3) Is .216" of bearing surface between case...

    175gr PULLS: Jacket deformation question

    How bad is too bad dent/deformation wise? Times are tough. I can't imaging it being a real issue but wanted to get a consensus. Chambered barrels are not cheap or its a waste of my time to make poor performing ammo.

    Large Powder Shipment @ Third Generation Shooting Supply

    Varget is gone. I watched the stock qty go from 40 to 0 in a few minutes. Crazy.

    Making the AICS fit??

    From my experience, the necessary milling was only with certain aftermarket triggers. Once for a long recoil lug. Out of my four AICSs, three are bedded in some fashion and the one not bedded is a .22LR. There was no milling in relation to the bedding itself. BTW, that has long been my...

    Barrel Fluting = POI Shift

    ^ Exactly lash. Throw in a recognized Manufacturer's name and the term "engineers" and suddenly it is "fact". This is no different than the Rain Vs. POI threads. Get a "scientist" or someone who totally misapplies a simple KE equation to throw numbers around and suddenly there is "fact"...

    NITECORE Flashlights

    Fenix is also a good light IMO. I won't say thats a bad choice but when comparing lights; look at the lumens vs. distance. Both use the same FL1/ANSI standard. 760 lumen is a allot of light but the throw distance is only 155m (6000cd peak beam intensity). By way of comparision, the P25...

    NITECORE Flashlights

    BA, Check out the MH25, it appears to be the same head (860 lumens) and the modes are set by head rotation, no shutter switch, has tail power switch. And it is cheaper.

    NITECORE Flashlights

    The tail switch is on/off and the shutter button sets the mode only when the tail/light is ON.

    NITECORE Flashlights

    Not the EA8....yet. On the P25, for a real tactical duty light you are probably going to get sick of the complicated two-stage (i.e. camera shutter) button interface and all the supported modes. The Nitecore UI isn't the greatest but a way to get allot of options into a one-button interface.

    NITECORE Flashlights

    It's decent hardware, I seen the Smilodon go for $75. I'm somewhat of a flashlight whore. SENSCR = Crap, slow to adapt, modes set on initial turn on. EC1 = a awesome pocket light, I had doubts on the switch interface. TM11= no throw but amazing flood, no long term modes TM26 = It fits the...

    6.5 Remington SAUM vs. 6.5 Creedmoor

    Or any -08. Wildcating a CM has no magic that hasn't been done, it's just newer. The OP has grand intentions best left to the magnum crowd; x vs. y at one mile. I'm tuned in to see what the input is.
