    Suppressors New TTF suppressor - how many rounds before it's "match ready"?

    I am going to a ~400 round training class this weekend, and I just picked up my new TTF Archangel yesterday afternoon. I'll have the chance to check POI shift (and repeatability) and velocity tonight, and put probably 20 rounds through it. I'll be able to go out Wednesday afternoon and put...

    Anybody ever try swaging down long range bullets?

    Like the subject says, anyone ever try pushing long range target bullets through some dies to reduce their diameter, and potentially end up with a higher BC, smaller diamer one? For example, swage a 7mm 162amx down to 6.5mm. I'd think this would make an unbelievable bullet for a cartridge...

    Best time to neck turn, and eliminating donuts

    I'm working with a 308 parent 7mm wildcat that pushes the shoulder back a little while sharpening up the shoulder. Beginning with Winchester head stamp 243 brass, I formed the cases, necked up with a Sinclair expander, and loaded them. The bullet is seated so the bottom of the bearing surface...

    Redding vs. Forster bushings

    So both Redding and Forster say their bushings don't interchange with the other's dies... But they sure seem to just fine. Never thought to try it before, but was in a pinch tonight and realized I had a Forster bushing the appropriate size. Worked great in my Redding die. Then I tried a...

    Oehler 35P vs. Magnetospeed V2

    At the range the other day, a friend had his Oehler 35P (6 feet long) set up. Asked him if he'd seen the Magnetospeed, he had read about, but not seen/used one. So we strapped the magnetospeed (MS) onto his F class 6XC, and fired a 10 round string over both chronographs. Won't bore you...

    Help me choose a short magnum cartridge.

    It's been my intent for a while to put together a short mag, on a short action, to occasionally bring out to matches that have lots of longer range targets, or lots of heavy wind. This is not intended for hunting. I've considered a 7mm-270WSM, the 7mm RSAUM, and of course the 6.5mm RSAUM. I'm...

    Any Bicyclists here to give advice?

    My wife would like to buy a road bike. She's not looking to race the Tour de France, but she has been competing in triathalons, and her Giant mountain bike is entirely unsuitable. REI has a 2013 Scott Contessa Speedster 15 on clearance for $950. Seems like a solid "entry level" bike that may...

    Pointing/Tipping 105 Berger Hybrids

    Anyone used the Whidden pointing arrangement on the 105 hybrids? I'm just getting started, messing with pointing. The first bullets I tried were Sierra 7mm 175 matchkings. I tried both the "0" and the "1" insert and the "0" was clearly superior. The "1" insert basically did nothing all...

    Creepy Guy at Work...

    I work in a technical office for a fairly large corporation. We take on engineering interns. One of those interns is the subject of this thread. This student intern is at the office in 3 month stints, alternating between school and work every three months. Currently, he's here for his 3rd or...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 29

    Finally picked up the Glock missing from my collection. I have a G30, and a 10mm conversion barrel for it - which never malfunctioned, but still never truly trusted it because it would fail to eject if you hand cycled cartridges through it. Anyway, anybody else a fan of this model? Seems...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta reticle update request thread

    The purpose of this thread is to gage interest in updating and/or improving the reticle options for TT 3-15 and 5-25 "P-series" scopes. Currently offered is the Gen2XR, with Gen2mildot to follow. I contend both of these are lacking in comparison to the competition, such as but not limited to...
