I’ve never seen a carrier crack there… wow!

What brand carrier, and ~ how many rounds?

How was the recoil?

Deselect the target. When no targets are selected it edits the entire thing at once.

I want to follow up on this. It seems that once a "target specific" wind set has been entered for a target, it will not update with the rest of the card when you deselect it and try to update the whole card. I'm not sure if this is how it's designed to work or if it is a bug.

I was at a match today and noticed that my wind wasn't making sense for a couple of targets. I must have fat fingered and edited a wind value before deselecting the individual target and updating what I thought was the whole card.

If this is a feature then I think some sort of visual indicator that the target is de-linked from the rest of the card would be handy. From how i read your post though, it sounds like this isn't how it should be working.


Messing with it further before hitting post. Pretty sure this isn't functioning as it should.

If I set up 4 targets, and deselect them before modifying wind values they will all update together.

if I select a single target and change the wind angle 180 then deselect to update card, the other 3 targets will update but the modfied one will not.

if i change a 2nd target to have a 180 wind value and then deselect and change wind speeds it will only adjust the wind speed on the target i just modified and no other.


Thanks!

Question: I’m doing a MARSOC A3 build with DD Ross metal. Should I roll with E or G prefix?

Click to expand...

The Marines started getting E prefix receivers around 1999/2000, and they received a large order of E receivers in 2001. The Marines got a ton of G prefix receivers in 2005, which is right around the time MARSOC was using their customized A3's (I can't remember the exact year off the top of my head). So, you really can't go wrong with either prefix, but the E prefix could be more prevalent in the actual rifles. Remember, E676xxxx is easily the best known A3 serial number range, and is immediately recognizable to any M40 collector/clone builder. When in doubt, always go with an E676xxxx receiver for an A3!

There are several older threads around with a lot of load data and velocity info in them. I would definitely take the time to search them up and read through them. That said, i have a PVA 20” 6ARC AR that has about 110-115 rounds down the tube so it could still be speeding up a little bit. I have just started the berger 108gr elite hunters with Leverevolution. My starting load was 28.0gr with Starline brass and i was right at 2500 fps. I then jumped to 28.5gr and velocity went up to 2560ish. I will keep creeping up slowly to 29.0gr and watch for pressure.

This is just my specific setup and just know that every barrel will be different.

Also......
Not familiar with the particular bridge.....
But it could be a slow zone anyway...thus meaning....Capn Crock is an even bigger asshole.

Good ol' days

It was "boys day out" for his buddy captains.
I saw a pic of charter Cpt Riggs(firefighter) and he was promoting their veteran charter capt association, that caters to veterans and leo.
i am fair certain the "association" in total, was on tbe boat. Real stand up bunch.
Cannot find that promotional pic anymore. Someone is scrubbing hard, erasing profiles.

Anybody remember these cards?

While I know I'm supposed to disagree and call you stupid because this is the internet, I can see the merit of your argument. I was trying to say that there is no magic gear bullet that will rocket you from the bottom to the top of the standings. The % of improvement with any upgrade is relative to the overall skill of the shooter.

Whether or not pursuit of the podium is worth it? Who knows? Racing riding mowers vs a shot at NASCAR seat, or fitness exercise vs trying to qualify for the world’s, that is real question.

I guess it is just something weird with this particular order. I put the same thing I ordered last time (TT Diamond) and upgraded 2 day shipping I used last time was actually a little cheaper than when I ordered it last week. $20.35. The same shipping method for the MDT stuff is $40.70. Wild.

That’s “Fuck your little order, ain’t nobody got time for that” shipping prices.

Bump

Yeah, weight not being a listed spec deove me crazy too. What I've found is that QD mounts, like ADM are in the 10 oz range, with some being heavier.

About the lightest I've found, while still being pretty robust, is the Nightforce Unimount and the Leupold Mark AR (a heck of a mount for under $100), each at about 6 oz.

I like mine. Easy to rack and smooth. I think it’ll be light enough for them to use.

I took the chance on 1000ct then they emailed saying they messed up inventory on my 224 85gr order so they replaced them with another 1000ct 107s and then I ordered another 4 boxes...

I took a chance and they measure in length exactly to my factory 107smk's I have here, factory pointed new style and no gouges or anything. Great deal

Click to expand...

That's good to hear. I was hesitant to buy some but gave in and ordered the last 5 boxes. They should be on the way to me soon. Hopefully it won't get caught in an order snafu like you had.

Well, 1 mil at 100 is about 3.36". 2 mils at 100 is roughly 7". So, 2 mils at 50 is roughly 3.5" and at 25, roughly 1.75"; so, yeah, sounds about right to me.

And heed the words from the wise. Don't try to convert. You paid for the reticle. Trust it.

What is the oal you load to. I have had issue like this with not enough bullet in the neck.

Click to expand...

I've not had this issue due to not enough bullet in the neck, at least . . . bit with the .308's and 6.5 PRC is load to. I tend to load long, as I start out at .010 off the lands. Often, I easily only have just .200 - .217 of the neck holding onto the bearing surface. I should mention too that I due turn my .308 cases down to .014" thick, which will help them expand a little faster.

I always make sure that most if not all of the bullet is in contact with the whole neck.

Click to expand...

As long as you're not engaging the bearing surfaces with the donut area, that works just time. Because I tend to a load where the donut area is never an issue and it lessens the interference between the surface of the neck and the bullet. I haven't found any particular advantage to having a lot that contact with the neck.

I normally wouldn't disagree with all of the comments about crappy ammo, but I know for a fact that Barnaul steel cased HPs are capable of some very good accuracy. I get anywhere from just under MOA to about 1.5 with Wolf HPs out of my Ruger American Ranch.

What twist rate is your barrel? What is the diameter of the bore? Somega barrels have a .308 bore and some have a .311 bore. Some ammo has .308 projectiles and some have .311 projectiles.

7.62x39 is just a big pain in the butt. With the exception of my Ruger American, and the stock of ammo I have for it, I've abandoned x39 in favor of 300BO. Not quite the thump, but it makes life a lot easier.
