Strapped the .338 cal (because it was in stock) RecoilX to a Dead Air Nomad with direct thread adapter to my 308 pictured above. Shot 70 rounds through it at targets from 600 to 1000 in prone and off a fatboy tripod. Fought the mirage quite a bit due to no suppressor cover but I’ll fix that soon, looking at some can chaps currently.

This thing works. Best I can describe, it softens the recoil impulse of your suppressor while still sounding like a suppressed shot. If I had to put a number on it I’d say 35/40 % reduction in the push you feel. My muzzle barely jumped off the target in prone on the long distance shots and I was able to spot all my hits and misses. No degradation in accuracy as far as I could tell.

I always wear ear pro so this thing makes a lot of sense for me. I can’t see using a suppressor without one unless I planned to have naked ears.

The only challenges I had was, it is tricky (for me) to time it just right with a tight jam nut. And twice while letting the rifle cool off I noticed the brake was loosened to where I could turn it easily. I think it came loose from recoil and from things getting hot and then cooler.

Got it home and tightened it again, so we’ll see if I can get the hang of it and if it settles in and stays put.

I bought another one in the exchange. I’m going to put it on a sandman-k and install it on my 28” 6.5 CM. Seems like it will be a nice concussion reducer.

All in all, pretty damn cool.

Being conversationally fluent in both is an occupational hazard.

My “preps,” such as they are, rely solely on what I have on hand, and not on what I imagine I may find.

On a related note, I recently became aware that my 22s don’t run reliably with some “panic ammo” that I have on hand. I’ll need to cycle that out for ammo that runs reliably…

I would buy a set of badger ordnance rings. But if you are set on a mount look for a used Spurh or a mount from ARC

Man, I would love to find a used Spuhr for under $300!

That guy's a major fucking tool, I'd take anything he says or "Tests" with a huge grain of salt.
He claims to be an expert but I'd bet my bottom dollar he'd get his ass kicked in a PRS match by any random selection of dudes on this forum!

I bought a 4.5-28 when they first came out and I've put it through the ringer over the past 4 years.
It tracks true, verified to 1940 yards on my 300NMI, holds zero, and has really solid glass. Optically I'd put it between my 7-35 ATACR and ZCO 527, with a massive win in FOV.

The only disadvantage it has as a competition optic is the eye box isn't very forgiving, same with the parallax.
Not terrible, but definitely not as good as the 7-35 ATACR.

Ah yeah, I read his write up, I just can't relate, I am super impressed with my March FX 4.5-28. I will be taking it out to 1200 in a few days. If it tracks well then it's an incredible value, the glass and FOV are on another level, top tier.

Order placed!

Jake all my rifles and wife’s shoot 24.4 gr TAC in LC brass pushing 77 SMK’s very well. Push it harder and see how it does. Thank you for this friend

Had a chance to try some of the Hotter Loads with Geissele SPR and 22" Kreiger JP SCI-20.

Still haven't seen any pressure signs working all the way up to 24.7grs of Tac in 18" SPR and 24.1 in the 22" Kreiger.

22" Kreiger

Decent results with 23.7gr and 24.1gr





18" Geissele SPR.

24.5gr Tac




Shot this today with FF brass in the Geissele SPR. Creeping up on 200rds and the SPR barrel is starting to settle in, should get the TAC load locked in soon. Next will be IMR XBR and 77gr SMK.
23.8grs

Check out fenbendazole too. Do a search, there;s info out there. You can get it at feed/seed stores along with ivermectin. Preferably not a big chain store like tractor supply, little locally owned feed stores are the best. check out this thread: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/hey-docs….7230311/

They certainly need that over there in China. With all the big brother cameras and facial recognition being used against its citizens, this is a very smart idea.

Unfortunately, the plate caddy kinda gives things away. Sigma Gamma Rho is one of the three major "African American" service oriented Sororities on most College campuses today. The primary black sorority being Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA). Delta Sigma Theta is the middle sorority. I'd often have to be our Student Union's "Audio/Visual" person assigned to cover many of their events in our building's hall rooms.

I'll leave y'all to make your own inferences, accordingly!

Thorroclean system with a caliber size larger bronze brush. The 20 back & forth passes will remove the carbon ring while it cleans the bore. Thorroclean is Iosso in a suspension. I spoke to the owner of Iosso who said that they make the solution for Bullet Central who sells it as Thorroclean. If you use straight Iosso you can suspend it in their triple action oil, kroil, CLP, etc. I've seen no ill effects in 5-7 barrels for the past nearly 2yrs. No smell, barrel clean in minutes.

It's a good thing you have a borescope and saw the carbon ring build up.

I havent tried an upsized brush but otherwise I do the same. Will give it a shot.

*I dont know obout these army engineers pouring sand and pumping out water ,but us bog living plebs would go out get bunch of logs and started piling these into the ground, wall of log pilars to dam this area of , so any excavation could actualy comence , drive more to reinforce ground if they need , in any case i would be seeing lots of logs............ but this statment about 30 tons of sand and water pumps sounds like absolute amateurs at work. I am certain miltary has some fancy temporary road way fo such conditions but till then logs would do.

They literally did that shit in the medieval ages.

One of my sons, the army man was trained and operated thier tank recovery vehicle. It was an impressive behemoth. Don't know if it would help in this situation.

Click to expand...

It's a tank recovery vehicle at the bottom of the swap, as I understand.

Best bang for the buck and what I use on my Tikka Tac A1, and my AiAX. This mount was designed for exactly what you need. Quick detach and always returns to Zero for me.

6.5 SAUM medium weight hunter built by Moon at Crescent Customs. Load data:

Barrel still needs to settle in a bit and I expect velocity to speed up 40-60fps. Target is the head of a 100% IPSC.

Very nice, how are you liking the ADG brass compared to the old RP 300 SAUM brass necked down?

Hope it weighs less than 46.5oz.
If it's not stupid heavy and they don't mess up the reticle, it could be a sweet scope.
