    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I went ahead and ordered the BoreTech one the other day... and then got an email today that PMA expects theirs to be back in stock sometime in late July 🤦‍♂️

    Accurate AA2520 Unpopular?

    I think that's one of the other factors in it's relative 'unpopular' status now, vs 15-20 yrs ago. Back then, pretty much everything was kinda temperature sensitive, to a much greater degree than today. Hell, RL-15 was one of *the* go-to powders for 223 & 308 for a while - but for the last ten...

    You sure about that? 😉

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    The 6 PPC version, #231, right? Did you find it in stock at any of their dealers, or did you have to special order it direct from PH?

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Question for the gas gunners... what are you using for a bore/rod guide? Not seeing a ton of choices out there for the 6 ARC yet... 🤔

    Accurate AA2520 Unpopular?

    There for a while, if you looked closely at individual jugs of AA2520, you'd see it was manufactured in a number of different countries. So not only did you have the usual lot-to-lot variations associated with powder manufactured in the same plant, but variations between *plants/countries*.

    Acceptable case wall thickness variation after neck turning

    Dude, let it go. You did a dumb thing - necro posting - and got called on it. Let it go. All you're doing is feeding the troll(s) / amusing the inmates. Yapping like you're all righteous billy-bada$$ just makes you look even dumber.

    Rifle Scopes Compact scope for Ruger Scout rifle

    I hear ya! Honestly the more I play with the setup, the more I feel like I'd probably be a bit happier with something like the Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x32... if the turrets were capped or just a smidge smaller. Guess I'll keep an eye out 👍

    Oversized grip blanks

    Anyone know of a place that makes oversized wooden grip blanks for AR style mounting (either gas gun or bolt)? Specifically I'm interested in something like the ARC Xylo large grip blank, but for an AR pattern mount. I've found a number of wooden AR grips floating around the interweb, some...

    Rifle Scopes Compact scope for Ruger Scout rifle

    Nice looking little rig there ;) Looks like the scope is riding a little less than 1/4" higher than mine right now (guesstimating off the space between the rear bell and the ghost ring).

    Rifle Scopes Compact scope for Ruger Scout rifle

    I got a chance to put hands on / eyes through a few at the local Sportsman's. Picked up a Sig Tango MSR 1-6x for $300; figured if I end up not liking it for this gun I can always move it to the 16" AR 👍

    Rifle Scopes Compact scope for Ruger Scout rifle

    That's pretty much what I'm currently working through... sorted through a bunch of 'old' 30mm rings I had on hand to find one that sat just high enough to clear the ghost ring, but low enough to still keep my face on the stock. Not exactly a natural / instinctive position, though. Might have to...

    Linux Mint vs GRT

    Turns out the same commands work for Debian 12/Bookworm (surprise, surprise, I know). I *am* a little curious what the sequence would be for distros based off other package systems, like Fedora or openSuSE (RPM), or Arch? :unsure:

    Linux Mint vs GRT

    @oldiephrt Okay, sounds like you're doing good. Remember where I mentioned that those last couple packages don't need the :i386 target? Try running the commands again, but without the ':i386' at the end, and see if that helps. Also, if you don't want to mess with trying to type out some of...

    Rifle Scopes Compact scope for Ruger Scout rifle

    @Norcal911 what did you do as far as rings / scope height? Seems like most LPVOs are intended to be in some sort of cantilever AR mount, which would probably put it too high for a decent cheek weld. I could stick one of my old stock packs on there to raise the head position... but that would...

    Rifle Scopes Compact scope for Ruger Scout rifle

    @Millron good point about bolt handle clearance. And as 'cool' as something like that Sig looks on the computer screen, I would like to keep this setup more on the light/compact side. Not obsessing over ounces, but still... @MikeMiller hey man been a while. 👋 Not sure if I really need the...

    Rifle Scopes Compact scope for Ruger Scout rifle

    So... I've had a Ruger Scout rifle for a while. Never really got around to putting a proper 'scout' scope on it; didn't really like the available options. The factory ring mount locations are way too short for me, so earlier this year I put an XS rail on top of it. Basically its a pic rail...

    Linux Mint vs GRT

    So... backing up a bit: the file as downloaded should be named 'GordonsReloadingTool-2021.2040-NIGHTLY-linux.tar.gz'. You may have used utilities such as pkzip, back in the day, on Windows. If you want to do it from the terminal aka command line, you can use the commands I listed earlier...

    One-Day Range Load Development

    Sounds like you have a more... ed-u-mah-cated... crowd than I typically encounter. I've tried; in the end it's about like trying to explain my cell phone to a dog. But they still want to know all the details... :rolleyes:

    One-Day Range Load Development

    That reminds me... I have a CM1500 sitting under the bench. Been there a while, since the power supply 'wall wart' took a tumble and a hit during a move - and I'd pretty much moved to using an AutoTrickler for all my 'at home' charge weighing. Probably just need to find a replacement power...
