If he handloaded he could probably get them all to work but the 168 SMK is the last bullet I would ever use for long range. But if shooting shorter inside 600 then it would work but still get pushed around more by the wind.

Agreed. The 168 is a much better bullet inside 600 than beyond.

PV free hazmat today and 10% off code (post 5764). 8208 and Varget only in ($$) 1 lb, bottles but H4350 still in 8lbs jugs....

How’d you find the coupon code? I don’t need any right now but I want to make sure I’m looking in the right place in the future.

It's coming along. Work seems to get in the way, as it does for all of us. I've carved out some time at the end of this month. I expect to get the locating pins set and metal prepped. Need to decide on a place for DLC coating.

224V 75gr eld did well last night.

jdulaney · Mar 2, 2025

I'm put together a semi cheap night hunting set up, I went with the 335 thermnight. Now I got to get a gun, looking at the Patriot arms 223, was going to do 22arc or 6arc, but I have killed deer, hogs, yotes, and everything in between with 223, shooting either federal 69gr mk or hornady 75gr match, and i got pretty good stock pile of it.

I’ll chime in to say that your glasses breaking the cup seal (gel or no gel) seems to degrade the NRR much more than it would seem.

I’ve got a post on here to that effect. I found a study done about that fact. I’ll see if I can find it.

I have little choice but to wear glasses with ear protection, but have found that gel ear cups with a relief cut for glasses are a big help. Like these:

I was all set on buying some Ops Core + their fancy NFMI plugs, but I read some comments on a YT vid that suggest that the headsets are fragile (I know, I know, YT comments veracity).

Since the unit is over $1k, that gave me some pause…but the manufacturer promises a high NRR (or SNR?) rating while being able to hear much better than regular doubling up.

I also own a pair with the NFMI plugs. I did have a pair that needed to be sent back within the first year. No issues after that. I will admit that it made me nervous though on the longevity of them. Prior to that I had a pair of Sordins for 12 years with zero issues.

Saw something, maybe in one of the posts, that struck me.
Europe is allies to the dems, not the Americans.
Great analogy.

What is the length of the handguard on the chassis?

Yeah the 26" APR is the other higher end rifle I was looking at, but again importing one in time is not likely to happen.

I wasn't thrilled with the XRS chassis being the only option but an ACC version would be fantastic. Unfortunately exports from Germany are extremely slow so unlikely I'll be able to get one in time.

26'' APR uses a skinny barrel like one that was used on 64MPR , 21'' uses 28mm straight

And soak that thing in oil. An ar10 needs to be wet, especially for the first couple hundred rounds

THIS for sure. Inside the BCG where the gas rings are. I'd suggest synthetic engine oil.

Hopefully they make a 16” version next.

If they do, I hope it has the 5/8x24 muzzle and an intermediate gas system.

This is good to hear! (Sorry for the pun, didn’t mean it lol)

How is the raw noise reduction of the OPS Core + NFMI plugs compared to other units?

Although the headset is NFMI enabled, I’ve never actually used the plugs in conjunction. The noise reduction with the headset itself is pretty good in my experience.

Update. It appears Zalinskys an actor hired by a Ukrainian oligarch mobster to play a freedom fighter standing up against Russia. He's nothing but a puppet for the globalists...

That's not true... but did you know that Trump is a reality TV star hired by an oligarch drug addict to fold down our institutions and put us on our knees before Russia and China?

He's nothing but a puppet for the Surrender Lobby.
