Have you tested the temp stability of that powder?

I've not personally temp tested with a cooler / hand warmer.
Informally, on a cool 50 F day vs 75 F spring afternoon, no appreciable difference.

Many online resources vouch for XBR's temp insensitivity as it is extruded powder.
Go check it out on Gordon's Reloading Tool as well if you want to play around with temp and expected velocity.

YMMV, happy shooting

NICS delay

No 3 day wait with a ccw. I’m sure that a ccw would help expedite the nics if he’s having issues.

The 3 day wait and CCW both have absolutely nothing to do with nics. You still have to wait for the background check. Sometimes I go through in a few minutes and sometimes I’m delayed for hours.

You’re confidently wrong with your assumptions.

I was told I’d regret it later if I didn’t get one. No, I regret showing up to school.

338 ARC

45-90 said:
After owning and shooting the 338 Spectre, 8.6 blkout 3 twist and 6.5 twist.

The 8.6 3 twist is a dud, and dangerous, limited to low subs and expensive copper only bullets.
With the 6.5 twist, a bolt gun, and hybrid cases its basically a 338 Federal fir supers and better with subs.
No velocity limits of 1000 fps on 350 Makers. I ran them over 1800 fps in the 6.5 twist, no blow ups.

Might as well try the 338 ARC,...but not Hornadys version...something with a faster twist, and maybe just a bit more case capacity like the difference between a 6 Dasher and 6 BR for supers but subs remain about the same, cause the long bullets take up the extra case capacity.

So I did alot of testing with the 338 ARC improved with bullets 160 gr Barnes 2300 fps, 165 Maker 2275 fps, 175 HP 2202 fps, 200 gr Speer 2100 fps, 200 gr SST 2025 fps
250 gr RN 1760 fps, 272 fmj, 300 SMK, 300 ATIP, and 350 Maker, standad bullet 866 fps and 350 gr bore rider over 1200 fps in 6.5 twist 338 ARC improved...200 fps faster than a AR 10, 8.6 blakout with the 3 twist and its 1000 fps speed limit for this bullet.
So here one can shoot a 16" 338 ARC improved 6.5 twist using an AR 15 with no limits on bullet selection or makeup, and hang with the 12" AR 10, 3 twist in 8.6 blackout, ...and shoot jacketed lead much faster with no speed limits.

New Burris XTR PS

ARShooter91 said:
Should be easy enough to make it possible to link to the PS since it has Bluetooth already. I'm going to put a Tango fire 4k on top of my PS. Once you get that set up it'd be nice if they could communicate and you'd have the number in the HUD to hold or dial to.

Just sucks to pay all that money for a LRF since you don’t need the ballistic calculation. You just need the range. I don’t see Burris communicating with third party devices. Burris likes to keep things in house. I was looking at some cheap non ballistic wmlrf as an option. Optics planet has a cheap one called WULF arrowhead or something that was an option.
