    Night Vision Spacer for W1000 Thermal

    Folks, anyone out there know if they makes a spacer to raise a Raytheon W1000-9 Thermal sight with the ARMS mount up slightly? The default height is too low to put on a flat rail. It only seems to fit on a rifle with a tapered hand guard or a bolt gun.

    I know this has been asked before, but is this really unsafe? I have about 100 loose 300 AAC BO rounds that got mixed in with a bunch of suppressor fired brass and well lets just say, they are REALLY dirty. Is it going to hurt to tumble them for a bit to get all that carbon and junk off of them?

    300 BLK and 240 SMK

    I have done some searches and didnt see any posts, but has anyone tried loading up the 300 BLK with the 240gr SMK (rather than the 220)? On paper, it would seem to be a great way to go, load it with about 11.6gr of 1680 instead of 11.2gr (for the 220) and you will get the same velocity with a...
