    DOPE not making sense

    Thank you for the replies. I was comparing my range data to the JBM calculator to try to get an estimated velocity based upon the 200 rnds of FGMM 175 I sent down range. I zeroed at 100yds and fired several groups confirming POA/POI were the same. I moved back to 200yds and fired my first...

    Shot FGMM 175gr. for DOPE out of a 20" 1/10" barrel, 20 MOA scope base, Seekins 1.45" AR rings, 2.60" above bore. NF NXS MOA. Laser ranged. Elevation 800', Temp. 60F. The results: 100/Zero, 200/4 clicks up, 300/20 clicks up, 400/24 clicks up. I cannot get JBM results to match DOPE. Any...

    Precision Reloads from a Dillon RL550/650?

    Does anyone on the Hide use a progressive to load precision (moa to sub moa) ammunition for training, matches, etc? I am having an allergic reaction to $1+ per round for FGMM/Black Hills Match/LC 173 after my last 5 day range outing and 1200 rounds sent down range. I have even less a desire to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Small handy EDC fixed blades, what do you........?

    d'Eskabar is my EDC fixed blade. Not quite as refined as I would like, but I am not afraid to use it, abuse it, break it, or lose it. A high end blade would see less use.

    How to Move a Safe (1000 lbs.)

    I had a forklift and operator show up when the safe arrived to unload it. I also rented a pallet jack and had 3/4" plywood to cover any areas that would be damaged by the pallet jack. It went smoothly. Note: My safe was 1500lbs, I had a total of 3 persons for the install. The biggest issue...

    Anyone using the Konus 20-60x100

    I picked that exact spotter up two months ago. It is my first spotter. 20x - 40x it resolves fairly well. 60x has some resolution issues. It is large and heavy so you will need a sturdy tripod. Field use without a designated individual as a spotter is a ridiculous thought. I would say it...

    I picked up an Estwing EBTA Tomahawk recently. No nonsense, drop forged and about 27oz. Glass breaker it would be, melee tool also. $40ish.

    B&C A3 Stock and Harris Bipod lack of stability

    Gents, I noticed the B&C A3 stock with the Harris Bipod is a bit unstable due to the wider fore end of the stock. What is the best way to isolate the movement so it does not affect shot to shot consistency?

    Advice for newbie

    Sounds like sizing issues with the brass and possibly primer seating. Run all your cases through the sizing die, trim to minimum specification length, deburr necks, then check in your rifle chamber. The bolt should easily close on the empty case. Make sure all primers are seated completely in...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Crossbreed Holsters

    Re: Crossbreed Holsters A little of advice on IWB holsters. Make sure you have room in the waist of the jeans or pants you are wearing for an extra 2-3 inches of girth. Otherwise they will not be comfortable-especially while sitting.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Recommend a gunbelt

    Re: Recommend a gunbelt I have used the following: A 5.11 leather gun belt- extremely stiff and good for load bearing but the leather scuffs quickly. A Blackhawk! Riggers belt- good for load bearing but cumbersome, may not be your persuasion. An Ares Ranger Belt- stiff good for load bearing...

    Re: Having problems with my 92fs I had the same exact issue years ago after I bought 6K rounds of 9mm of a certain brand. I inspected the weapon and the slide and slide rails were dry. I lubed them and she ran like a singer. Lube it my man!

    Rifle Scopes which scope to get?

    Re: which scope to get? Eotech seems to work very well for me. 1 moa dot is plenty good for 200m truck gun. I can consistently shoot 1.5 moa or less from a prone position with bags at 100m. Eotech 512, LMT CQB MRP and quality ammo.

    Re: Bad experience with SWFA, buyers beware Hey genius, do you realize that the time you took to write your ill-advised ignorant rant, BEFORE CONTACTING SWFA about the issue, was probably worth more than the <$12 you're crying about. You need some economics education along with etiquette...
