    Recoil and POI

    Yes, how you hold the rifle will affect POI, even velocity. Heavier rifles, manually operated rifles, faster cartridges all mitigate that to some degree.

    The SIG 716I TREAD .308 may be the best AR-308 / AR-10 type battle rifle for the money.

    You bought it, you own it, shoot it and don't worry about other people's thoughts on it. We all have preferences forged from facts, feelings and perceptions, so they are never going to all line up. On-line reviews don't do much for me. Influencers get paid for clicks/views/likes and while...

    Thanks Mike and Frank

    I have had a good amount of windshield time over the last month and finally got a good app on my phone and a good way to connect my Tahoe stereo to it. That has allowed me to listen to the podcasts. Up the the 22nd episode. I must say I am impressed with the depth of the content. I've know...

    Rifle Scopes Best budget glass for ar10

    Take a look at the Burris RT15. Pretty good set-up that punches well above its price point. https://www.burrisoptics.com/scopes/rt-long-range-riflescopes/rt-15-3-15x50mm

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First shotgun for the wife?

    Weatherby Element. They are a fairly decent copy of the Benelli system. I just picked one up, in 20g and it is wonderful. Shot a 24/25 out of the gate with it on the Trap 16 yard line. It is just a shade over 6 pounds and really nice as a hunting gun. They also are available in 12. Shot 4...

    Why we can't have nice things,

    3Gun suffered along the same path and while new shooters are coming in, more are leaving than joining, especially shooting the majors. "No-one owns..." has been drowned out so many times in the competitive shooting world it is like we, as a group, are too blind to take it all in and understand...

    Rifle Scopes 2-10x Scope. your favorite?

    For me, yes, very useable. IMHO, the only thing I don't like is the weight. But, shed weight and lose reliability, I'll take the extra few ounces.

    Reloadr scale out of the box Comparison

    So I made the video on Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday, I checked and the Reloadr gave the exact same readings for the 4 check weights as it did on Wednesday. The PACT had the most change, within their claimed range, the RCBS a little less, but the Reloadr beat them both with no change.

    Reloadr scale out of the box Comparison

    They are going to send me a Sharpshooter to T&E so I will do a comparison of the two in the various ways we use them.

    Reloadr scale out of the box Comparison

    Trickling at the 0.1 range, as long as I am over 3 grains, it is fine. If this goes well over the next month, I might just get a Sharpshooter and test it too.

    Reloadr scale out of the box Comparison

    When I trickled from 0.0 to 0.5, I was not pleased and it was off by 0.2. It did not pick up the first 10 kernels at all. But trickling from 20 to 21, 40 to 41 and 80 to 81, it was perfect. I went really slow and then faster by 0.2 increments or so and was pleased.

    Reloadr scale out of the box Comparison

    Won this scale at a match and finally decided to try it out yesterday. I had heard a few good things about it, but had not used it. After I made the video, I played with it for about an hour and it is pretty slick.

    Anyone shoot 22 WMR?

    I have had one for years, just put it up for sale on Gunbroker. I never shoot it. My .22LRs and .223s are more accurate and cheaper to shoot.

    New production class rifle

    More options are good. IMHO, if their is any "angst" or wringing of hands related to these cool new rifles coming out, it falls squarely in the lap of the PRS leadership. Free market and open competition is good. It is up to the organization to set the boundaries/playing field for their...

    Build vs Buy, your experience.

    7075 for the upper receivers, torque the barrel nuts towards the upper end with a quality barrel and you can meet or even beat the factory rifles in terms of accuracy. Reliability is about the tune provided you have quality parts.

    Need accurate 9mm load suggestions

    I use E3 for 9mm, great powder. Tested a lot of different powders and bullets and the Hornady HAP is the most accurate bullet across the board.

    Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

    I started the petition. It is addressed to Josh Adams and Ken Mestas. They get regular updates from the petition site as to comments and number of signees. In addition, by the nature of it, it gets shares and a LOT more numbers than people who will take the time to write actual letters and...
