Is it worth reloading precision ammo on a single stage versus progressive press?

I currently reload bulk calibers (9mm, 45aarp, .223 and .308) on my Dillon 550. I am wading into the waters of 6GT and was curious if it is worth getting a single stage press to reload that on. If so, how does the RCBS Partner Press compare to the basic Hornady Lock and Load? My grandpa has the RCBS that he said I could have, but the Hornady can be found cheap and I like the idea of the quick swap bushings so I don't have to change stuff around every time.

Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

Of course this is a somewhat rhetorical question, but there is an ounce of query in there. You see, I just picked up a new March FX 4.5-28x52 on sale from Eurooptic. If you have ever looked into this brand you will note that it is generally very expensive, and the premium is interesting considering most Japanese scopes, OEM, or otherwise are in general more affordable when compared to a ZCO, Tangent, or SnB. However from all I can tell this model is absolutely on par with any one of those brands, and it's understandable now why it commands a premium. Now, I have not had time yet to take it out to distance and see how it tracks but I can tell you that from every thing I can see it compares very well against a ZCO or an SNB, and even my old TT and Premier. This honestly feels like the most refined optic I have ever owned, and I have owned about every top tier brand besides a ZCO, now I feel I don't need a ZCO frankly. With the 4.5-28x52 the glass is stunning in clarity, pop, color, and resolution. The wide angle eyepiece offers a very wide field of view, more so than any of my other tactical scopes. Optically it's very impressive considering it's compact size, the glass is very reminiscent of a PM2 in color temperature. At the upper range the eyebox seems a little tight but otherwise 25x and lower it's fine. The turrets are very audible and positive, the zero stop is an eloquent design and easy to set. All of the controls are smooth and offer excellent feedback and lockup. The engravings even look premium and perfect. Though I will not take it out to distance until next week the reticle is excellent, it's not to thick, nor to thin at any mag, it's laser sharp, and all the markings are exactly where they should be, as a matter of fact the reticle was designed by our resident Dark Lord Of Optics, and i'll say great job Mr. Koshkin! Though March has been around for a while it's nice to see them coming out with something so premium. I think the other top tier European brands need a good Japanese competitor. I truly appreciate Japanese excellence, refinement, and attention to detail and the March FX 4.5-28x52 is a great example of Japanese perfectionism, in fact I am so impressed I may have to pick up another March should the need arise.

After I take this the distance I will report further on the scopes performance.

If you want a further review and way more detail on this optic I highly recommend Glassaholics extensive review and comparo against the Canada's main battleship the Tangent Theta.

OH NO!!!!

Gotta get started on the new Louisiana ski resort. Ski Cajun I’ll call it. Also gotta stock up on all those down stuffed parkas and insulated underwear. Powder gots to be optimized for sub freezing temperatures. Targets gotta start being painted Black

Cause, forget all this shit about climate change and the poles melting and the lefties lattes getting heated naturally by the planet heating up cause we’re HEADING INTO A NEW ICE AGE. :(.


Scientists just confirmed that Earth is slowly tilting toward its next ice age.

Experts have long suspected that changes in Earth's orbit play a key role in triggering ice ages, and now a new study has confirmed it.

Researchers from Cardiff University have uncovered a precise link between Earth's orbital cycles and past glaciation periods, providing a powerful tool for predicting future climate fluctuations. By analyzing deep-sea fossil records, they discovered that deglaciation—the end of an ice age—is triggered by a specific relationship between Earth's axial tilt (obliquity) and its wobble around the Sun (precession).

Meanwhile, the onset of an ice age appears to be driven solely by obliquity. This breakthrough explains why ice ages have occurred in predictable 100,000-year cycles and suggests that another one is due within the next 11,000 years.

While this discovery offers valuable insight into natural climate patterns, researchers warn that human activities, particularly greenhouse gas emissions, are already altering Earth's climate beyond its natural trajectory. Understanding how ice ages naturally occur is crucial for accurately assessing the long-term impact of human-induced climate change. As Earth's tilt continues to decline, signaling the start of the next glaciation, scientists emphasize the importance of factoring natural climate cycles into future climate predictions. The study underscores the need for sustainable action today, as decisions made now could shape Earth’s climate for millennia to come.

Stock Market

Im feeling optimistic.

My thoughts are that the market has needed a correction.

Id rather see a correction related to unrelated fears rather than to some sort of actual economic issue.

Granted fears of Corona virus are creating actual market problems in supply chains and purchase orders but Im thinking once Corona virus is revealed as a nothing burger shit is going to spin up very fast.

Co workers laments about his 401K got me thinking about this.

Who cares?

Unless people start dropping dead in the streets or if he decides to retire tomorrow nothing to see and good opportunities

Rifle Scopes Scope riser on a prs rifle? i have an eye relief problem

Evening gents. Im setting up a rifle, picked up a ZCO527 for it and I'm struggling to get proper eye relief. It seems like a lot of guys have the opposite problem from me, I'm 6'4", long neck, long arms, but with the way I interface with the gun I can't get the scope back far enough. I'm setting the gun up for shooting barricade 90% of the time, and I normally use around 14.5" LOP.

Im considering buying a pic rail with an overhang so I could scoot the mount back further. Leupold "mark AR", Scalarworks "fuse/01" and PRI are what I've looked at as possible solutions. I'm a little bit hesitant though because this adds complexity, more machined parts, tolerance stacking, things to come loose smd shift etc. Does anyone have experience using a riser like this on a PRS type gun? Any problems with it? I imagine it'd be fine but it gives me the ick as the kids say. I know too many CNC operators...

Another option is to have a scope base custom made that gives me a few more pic rail slots to the rear but that'll be a PITA.

I've never had this problem before so I'm a bit vexed.
If anyone has suggestions or experience using a riser on a precision gun lmk I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

This has gone far enough. And the he bullshitters are now in high gear.

A link to the article is first:

https://www.foxnews.com/world/ukrai...s-earthquake-sized-blast-picked-up-from-space

Never mind the article, the comments after the article are the important part. Everyone in the comments seems to think that Russia started the war.

Russia did not start this war. If you don't know that you are severely misinformed. Who started this war? WE DID.

And I'm not going to spoon feed you the details. Do your own freaking research. That's all have to say about that.

MOA comeback?

Recently while viewing Youtube videos on long range shooting, I have been surprised by the number or references made to the use of MOA versus MIL. Then when exploring Fierce Firearms, I learned they typically mount MOA scopes as that is what the largest segment of their customers desire. So I was just curious if I am just imagining this reversal in optic trends or if in fact MOA is making a comeback?
