    223 Ackley Improved

    I’ve been fighting a 223 Ackley for a good while. Seems that I can achieve decent accuracy or decent ES/SD’s but not both. Fireforming Lapua 55 fmj factory load shoots .5 with SD of 7-8 but a 75 eldm on 4895 or Varget disappoint. I’ve deep cleaned the barrel & accuracy showed a marked...

    New to AK47s and want to learn

    For $1000-1500 you can get solid performing AK. Arsenal, Zastava, WBP…all good guns. You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. That being said, if you get into an AK knowing the limitations of the platform & available Ammo they are fun to have around.

    Ear pro recommendation

    I went to an audiologist & burned 2k+ from the HSA on custom in ear pro. I don’t remember the brand because they sit unused. The hard plastic is formed to my ear canal but the hard plastic loses seal when talking & will ring your bell. The audio from them is tinny & unpleasant. They eat lil...

    Ear pro recommendation

    I’ve seriously considered Comtac defender V’s. But it seems reviews are limited. Same as OP, my peltor tac’s were the bee’s knees but died.

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    Another redundant range report: First time out with my Garmin. Ran a HK VP9/ suppressed 22lr/ linear comped 10in AR over it. Only missed shots was when I selected wrong speed range for 22lr. Unit is easy to run, literally throw it down in general direct of fire & go. Shooters on Both sides...

    Best gun cleaning kit

    I ran the same random rods & jags until a couple weeks ago I decided enough was enough. I basically ordered the whole Boretech catalog for all calibers I have. Standardized & organized so cleaning is no longer a hunt through 3 different toolboxes of random junk.

    Fix It Sticks, do yours click loud?

    I often torque with my eyes closed & cuss the lack of audible clicks.

    The Goldilocks Hunting Rifle

    I’d choose 7PRC if building today. I set out to build a mid weight/ medium recoiling all around western hunting rifle couple yrs back& choose 280ai. Slinging 175’s at 2920 is bad medicine for everything in lower 48.
