Looking for opinions on powder choice for a recent 7 SAUM build. Was leaning towards either 4831SC or N565, don’t have either in my inventory. Only have 50 rounds through the barrel at this point, and loads have consisted of the following.

Impact NBK short action
20” Benchmark CF 1:8.4

ADG brass (virgin)
175 gr ELD-X at 2.950"
N165……..mainly loaded with 58.5 gr for barrel break-in.
WLR primers, and have shot a few 210M and BR-2’s.
Ran a small ladder with WLR primers to see where I ran into pressure. 60 gr (2700 fps) produced a heavy bolt and ejector swipe.
59.4 gr using the BR-2 is showing promise and averaged 2616 fps with single digit ES & SD’s.

Any help is appreciated and also open to suggestions.

This might help you get started. QL shows bit more speed out of a 20in barrel with N560, both in the 162 and 175.

Just for reference, QL shows 62.3K PSI at 60gr for N165 so it does sounds right that you'd get heavy bolt and ejector swipe.

Much appreciated @DairyDictator. That's the kind of info I like to read. I have one of the older 737's and it's buttery smooth. May just try out the new 707 with a 75⁰.

Head of FBI New York office says he's retired from the bureau after being ordered to do so

The head of the FBI’s New York field office, who was reported to have resisted Justice Department efforts to scrutinize agents who participated in politically sensitive investigations, has told coworkers that he has retired from the bureau after being directed to do so.

Resign or be prosecuted...

Personally, I think he should be stripped of pension and prosecuted if he did anything wrong. But maybe still an option?

Allowing someone to retire may also be a tactic that will help convince 'others' that they better cooperate and be able to leave with a resignation and a pension... rather than prosecution which will cause people to go into hiding, damage control or 'full postal' mode.

Has anyone ever heard of a BRNO made sniper from the late 80s - early 90s?​

but something came over me one night while drunk shopping and I decided to grab a 2.5-10 Mark 4HD.

Click to expand...

I think CS Tactical, EO, Cameralandny and others should send out free whiskey to everyone looking to buy new optics

I am hoping within a year or so the Mark 4 will be offered with the CMR-Mil reticle, at that time I will seriously consider one

WyoChance said:

What I was really hoping for was a directing comment on resolution of the LHT vs the T6Xi, your individual reviews. You list the LHT at 18x having 38-44 lp/mm while the Stiener is 33-34 lp/mm and the S&B at 34-35 lp/mm. I have a hard time believing that the LHT is out doing the S&B so Im wondering whats actually going on there, be it different test days, eyes feeling different, or a different test method?

Click to expand...

On newer reviews I have a disclaimer to not compare resolution tests from different days, absolutely a different day and different time of day can have an effect on the number of lines I can see, I have seen variation of up to 10lpi with the same scope at same distance just on different days. I never had the LHT 4.5-22 side by side with the US 3-20 so difficult to say what they would do.

WyoChance said:

It might be a mute point as the more I have looked the more I suspect the LHT is not for me between FOV, Turrets, ilm controls. Of course, if it will help me spot 5.56 impacts at 800, cut through glare, let me see low contrast targets at long range, then I might get over all that.

Click to expand...

Sounds like you've made a good decision based on your needs, the LHT was designed to be light - first and foremost, but it also means it has some compromises, some are willing to accept those compromises to get the weight reduction while others are not, there is no right or wrong answer here.

WyoChance said:

Might be an overstatement, Im sure Id have no issues with TT turrets, but generally speaking, due to where my rifle rides, locking is pretty important to me. Though it hasnt caused me to write off the 4-20 ATACR yet.

Click to expand...

ATACR turrets in general are really nice. But is the 20x worth it over the locking turret of the 4-16?

WyoChance said:

Reticle/Cost on both the 5-20 and 3-20 is what ruled it out, I doubt Id like the GR2ID and compared to the March and ATACR glass is close but both are cheaper/lighter/equally ergonomic.

Click to expand...

Schmidt's are at stupid prices right now, history has proved they do this for a while and then bring prices back down (I assume once their sales falloff considerably), there is too much competition and good optics to choose from to pay the current Schmidt USA pricing.

WyoChance said:

I think I was focusing on the 8x and 10x erector Marchs and Ive put the march back on the list

Click to expand...

The 8x March like the 3-24x52 is an excellent 3-18 scope and a really good 3-20 scope, above 20x and that image starts to really struggle. The 10x March like the 1.5-15x42 is outstanding to 10x, very good to 12x and pretty good to 15x when it comes to IQ, but you get the lighter weight and the extreme mag range along with an excellent DFP reticle, the scope is not for everyone but I think it is one of the best MPVO designs we have right now, especially if you want/need a little greater range than say a 2-10 for example...

WyoChance said:

I actually called CS before I posted this base off another on of your posts, they told me just go through NF, mil discount is lower then retail cost.

Click to expand...

Really, I guess NF has hunkered down on dealers giving good deals

WyoChance said:

Your the best man, you ask the right question and make the right observations forcing a guy to think. It is certainly time for an upgrade. I was shooting this weekend and my first shot was a foot over the target, I had zeroed the PST turrets but they had spun nearly a full revolution riding around in the truck over the week. Then at 400 yards at a 5"x7" white and gray target at a high angle in a shadow in the snow and sagebrush, with sun hitting my lens in a bad way... it was all I could do to find it and Im the one who put it there. No issue hitting hit once found but my gosh that was a perfect storm where Im sure better glass wouldve made all the difference.

Click to expand...

This is definitely where better glass is going to help.

WyoChance said:

After reading your high mag alpha glass review today Im half tempted to buy a G3 Razor for my PRS gun and put my 5-25 PMII on my gas gun. Of course now I have a 3LB optic stack once I add a mount and T2... which again is so close to the stiener it turns me off to that deal too.

But is the ATACR worth 700-1k more to save 5oz?

Click to expand...

I assume that was rhetorical, as only you can really answer that question.

WyoChance said:

Is the March 1.5-15 dfp shuriken worth another 1k to save another 5 oz and deal with the poor eye box and less then alpha glass for 3k? I dont think so. Then is the 4.5-28 worth close to double the cost over the ATACR at the same weight? Probs not for me as I dont need the upper mag range and 16x on an ATACR would be good enough.

Click to expand...

Again, only you can answer this, but it is hard to answer without seeing them side by side. Hopefully my review of the March with the ATACR 4-16 helps. For me personally, the benefits of the March mag range and reticle outweighed the better optical performance of the ATACR. I am doing an "Update" review on the March 1.5-15 soon and doing a comparison with the RG3 1-10 to give people another metric to look at...

Exactly..smooth brains think it’s just random

What people don’t understand about running a business when cash flow goes to shit..you need to eliminate fixed expenses ASAP and immediately stop hiring.

If the business functioned “yesterday” then we don’t need more people tomorrow. You need to reset and refocus.

So there is an immediate hiring freeze, which goes for anyone in the training pipeline unless they are superheros.

Sounds familiar right..probationary are now let go

Next up you stop all spending budgets and have management sign off on any expenditure from buying pencils to parts. That immediately stops frivolous spending as well as reviewing the mangers who are signing off on expenses…are they capable.

Sounds familiar right..credit cards with 1$ limit

Some babies get tossed with the bath water..just the way it goes. When a mistake is made you rehire or hire new.

The ones who don’t understand this never sat in a C-suite meeting and never had to make decisions that matter for the future of a company more than 100 people..usually those opinions come from the same people who think they know how to build a car better than “Toyota” because there’s a screw that’s hard to get to.

I have heard from more than one news source that he was actually fired but the MSM is throwing it out there that he "resigned" in brave defiance.

Not 100% positive but worth a little more research to confirm or deny.

Click to expand...

"they" are usually given the option to resign or be fired. It doesn't absolve them of any future criminal prosecution, it just looks better on their resume and is quicker with no avenue to appeal a termination.
