For sale is a AGM Rattler TS35-384 Thermal Rifle Scope With External Battery Pack. Works perfect . Price $1750

I guess he complained too much....

Right now I am using a Lee perfect powder measure. It works fine and I usually throw slightly light and then trickle up. I can throw 3 perfect charges, then a low and then a high. I put in a baffle that a buddy of mine 3D printed for me but it almost seems to have made it worse.
But now I am going to be loading a few thousand 223/556 and I will also be stretching the AR out further than I have before. Looking for a powder measure that throws the most consistant charges.
A buddy of mine said to get a Redding. I was also thinking about getting an electronic measure but then I read about how many of them go bad really quick, I want something that will last. Right now I am running N-140 powder but maybe going to a spherical powder would be better and I would not need another measure?
Any suggestions?

Hey Guys,
Does anyone have a recommended torque setting for the clamping screws on an M1D mount? Wanting to install an M84 and don't want to overtighten the clamp on the scope tube.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks to Mike R. @ TacOps I had the awesome oppurtunity to attend LASD SEB's Intermediate Long Rifle course in LA this past week.

All I can say is wow. Those boys know how to roll and run a top notch class.

The class was fairly small so you had plenty of instructor attention, and all of those guys know what they are doing.

We did lots of shooting and burned through a ton of rounds.

Mike R. came out one evening to help do some Night Ops work and had an X-Ray 51 with a can and night vision setup, let me tell you, that rifle was a dream to shoot.

I didn't take any pictures and don't want to post too much information on the course as it is an LE only course and of course OPSEC applies.

On any note, if any of you are LE out there and want to take a top notch course hit Mike R. up at TacOps and I'm sure he'll help get ya on a list or point ya in the right direction.

So if anyone out there thinks TacOps doesn't have some top notch training just because they are located in Beverly Hills you are sadly mistaken!

Thanks Mike!

Selling gear for a buddy that’s going through a rough patch.

Up for sale is a lightly used kestrel sportsman for 325 shipped. Let me know if you have any questions. I took picture last month and been slowly posting his gear.

I would like to get a weatherflow meter (I just can’t justify nearly $800 for a Kestrel when the weatherflow can do the same thing for $99, albeit slightly less streamlined.), but am put off by the apparent lack of a vane attachment, without the vane it’s just not very useful. Those of you who have one, what solution do you use to mount it on a vane? At present I’m just thinking about getting a cheap kestrel vane and attaching it with two way tape, would that work? Is there a commercial or more elegant solution available?

Got a new rifle in 375 cheytac and these are odd primer strikes I've never seen before and one pierced primer. First time loading up 375 and these are new brass. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Peterson brass

I have a 50% off certificate for Revic's BLR10b rangefinding binoculars. I already have a pair and love them, or I would be using this myself.

While surfing the web I bumped into a bolt action 9mm rifle that is about to be available from Curtis Tactical. It checks a lot of very interesting boxes:

1. R700 pattern platform (will take R700 triggers and fit into R700 pattern chassis)
2. Takes Glock mags (9mm) or 1911 mags (45ACP)

I am very interested in this as it looks like it could be a lot of fun. I could feed it bulk ammo, subsonics, and even precision hand loads. So wondering if anyone here has experience with this manufacturer before I dive in. Their web page is at https://curtistacticalsuppressorsan...brand-rifles/CTSR-CT700P -on-remington-700-sa

Thanks in advance.

If this is not the correct place to post this, please admins move to the correct area. There was a post on The Hide years ago about dealing with these people. For those who are thinking of patronizing this business, THINK TWICE! I had a Barrett M107A1 on layaway, using their "forever layaway". I've been making payments consistently and they tried to cancel my layaway during the pandemic, when most people where at home due to lockdown and closing of businesses. I literally had to explain to them that in major cities, there were lockdowns in place and if your job/business was closed. You cant fault anyone for that. I've been calling the business weekly since May of this year to just confirm is my payment has been received by snail mail (USPS). I've left messages for over a month for the lady handling the layaways to confirm if she received the payment and never heard back from her. After repeated attempts, I called June 21st and finally got the owner on the horn. He suddenly tells me, with no explanation or reasoning that he was cancelling my layaway. His cronies sent me an email this past weekend, stating that the owner overheard my conversation with the lady who answered the phone, and said that since I said I wasnt leaving anymore messages or giving my name, is the reason he's canceled my layaway. And then they said in the email, that contacting me to confirm that my payment had been receieved is a waste of company time!! I didnt know taking a few seconds to send an email would bankrupt a company. He told me he was going to send me back my money. Now its a month later, no money and he has been trying to use excuses about how he's not sending me my money. Dont deal with these people, they will make you out to be the antagonist. You will literally have to beg their employees to do their job.

Thanks for looking. Nick-

I worked up two loads, same bullet, same case, same case specs, different powders. Both grouped sub-MOA for 5 or more shots at just over 2700fps in a bolt gun.

One powder was IMR 4064 and it's my "established" load and the other, which I just tested two days ago, was Vihtavuori N550. Both powders are somewhat close in the burn chart rate but not the same, with VV being slower. Accuracy isn't as good if I use something like Varget.

Caliber is 308, 20" barrel. Neither shows any pressure signs although in really high temps, over 90 degrees F, the 4046 load caused the bolt to be a tad harder to lift. When I tested the VV load, the highest grain count was the winner, 46.5 grins. With 4046, the winner was 44.5 grains and while it's been a bit, I do remember that higher velocities didn't group nearly as well.

I'm honestly not sure what question to ask because sometimes you just don't know what you don't know. I'm rather surprised the accuracy for both powders were identical at the same velocity which peaked my curiosity. I don't understand why that's the case other than both powders (in different amounts) possibly create the same barrel resonance at that velocity.

Does that mean the barrel is essentially tapped out at that speed? If I wanted to eek out a bit more fps yet retain accuracy, would I look at a different powder and if so, how do I determine what direction to go in or is it all simply dark magic? I can pretty much get any powder I want but I really, really don't need more variety.

I do plan on trying to go a bit higher with the VV550 and see if accuracy falls off. It's already a compressed load though. Brass and primer looks absolutely perfect and I generally size .001 under and keep things clean.

I've been working on another load with Berger 77gr OTM's for my SBR with a 12.5" barrel. Accuracy seems to be best with TAC at 2475fps and nothing has come close to it in terms of velocity and accuracy. Not 8208, H335, Benchmark, CFE223 or Varget. I didn't find some intersecting velocity with those powders like I did with my 308 load. So maybe just coincidence?
