    Another plane crashed, but in Canada this time

    Had an incident at my airline, Engineer/Mechanic/Technician goes on board aircraft on arrival, sees a bunch a oxygen masks hanging down and the aircraft has spit out a heavy landing report, nothing in the log book. Operations manage to talk to the crew and ask if they had a heavy landing, crew...

    New Tikka Chassis Rifle Coming T3X Ace Game & Target

    To be fair to Tikka they don't just serve the American market, so it doesn't make sense for them to make products that are purely aimed at the US market. That being said if they are doing a PRS orientated chassis that costs a similar amount to aftermarket offerings they really need to be...

    Opinions on: Hawke Frontier Rifle Scope 34mm Tube 3-18x 50mm?

    The Hawke is probably an OK scope but why would you bother, unless it gives you something particular you want. Burris XTR3i, Athlon Ares ETR would be safe bets for a US buyer.

    Also, while I still can't fully contribute to the picture thread, I'm getting very close now.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Sorry to take the topic back to barrel twists. Had some free time at work so decided to make a table for the bullet stability for ELD-M, SMK and TMK bullets. Good news is that even at low speeds (2400fps like you might see in a short barrel) most projectiles are at least somewhat stable, but do...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I’ve read this a lot about the 168 SMK, I figured for a 16” barrel I’m not likely to be shooting past 600yards very often, which should keep the 168 out of the transonic zone. I’m guessing a 1:12 twist 16” barrel will struggle to stabilise the sleeker bullets, but the 168 SMKs should be a safe...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    168gr SMKs is where I was going to start. Have you tried 168gr ELD-Ms? I was hoping they would go ok, but good to know the TMKs work.

    Hornady seating stem for 73 Gr ELDM

    I’ve used a Lee seater with 73s, 75s, 75 BTHPs and 88s, no issues. The 73s and 75 BTHPs would probably be ok in a non VLD type stem but I’d just get a VLD stem, likely more future proof. I prefer Redding dies, the only Hornady dies I’ve used were for a 300blk I had, I can’t remember why but I...

    Tikka T1X ACE

    I did some calculations, looks like the Ace chassis is about 3.5lb, the Envy Pro is 4lb. The butt looks a bit lighter weight in the Ace, and the forend a little thicker, the plastic mag well might save a bit of weight too. Maybe the balance isn’t horrible, with a lighter weight scope, a heavy...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Yes. I run 147gr ELDMs in CTR mags and can load to the lands.

    Very disappointed

    I thought 42.2gr of Varget was meant to be the magic number, 168gr or 175gr.

    Tikka T1X ACE

    Doesn’t seem like there will be any worth while reviews for this until it’s out in the real world. The usual “influencer” reviews are not worth a damn. I think the only thing that remains to be seen is how the chassis feels compared the competition (MDT, KRG, MPA etc) and how the rifle...

    .308 Winchester

    Does the 125gr TMK go any good in 308? You hear a lot about them in a 300blk but not in 308. A fast 125gr seems like a nice option for a short barrel hunting 308.

    EU allies

    The US has been the only ones playing world Police since the fall of the Berlin wall. The rest of the world was happy to let them do so. Undoubtedly most countries in the West haven't taken defense seriously but that's because they were stupid enough to think the end of the Cold War meant world...

    EU allies

    Sure thing. Just like the US has welcomed Fentanyl and terrorists across the southern border. Elites world wide are all playing the same game this whole EU vs US is naive at best. Maybe Trump/Farrage/ADF will go some ways to fixing it, here's hoping.

    EU allies

    I imagine many in the EU are asking what has the US done for them, other than destabilize the world and ultimately cause millions of migrants to flood into the EU.

    Which Chassis and Why?

    100% AT-X chassis. The coolest looking chassis yet has all the features you want/need.

    Modacam B14R barrel or Vudoo/RimX?

    Yes that accuracy is good, unless you are getting large ES/SDs lot testing of ammo is more likely to get an improvement than a new barrel.
