    Another LPVO thread

    Just going to relate a bit of anecdotal, recent experience regarding the ‘chevron’ in PLXC 1-8 Griffin reticle and its potential for accuracy at mid distance. I’ve had good results to 850 in a 20” Proof 6.5 Grendel, and had a female friend at the ranch for some biathlon training, and offered...

    Frank-my best to you and your family. Lost mine in ‘05 and understand just how much their strength and character means to us. Be safe, out there.

    Rifle Scopes New NF Turret?

    Just curious, beyond turret specs. Are reticle selections limited to commercially available options, or are they customized per bid specs, as well? Any idea what the most commonly used reticles are among the elite groups of sniper teams?

    6.5 Grendel

    My experience with both TAC and especially 8208 has been very good in the 120/123 range-8208 probably better with lighter weights. That said, MY go to powder is AR Comp, which I’ve managed to ferret away 24#. Runs cool, temp stable, excellent accuracy and SD’s in single digits, though very...

    6.5 Grendel

    LT30/32 are both on the very fast side for Grendel, regardless of bullet weight. Your brass and/or primer pockets have been pushed pretty hard based on ejector marks, and ill advised use of very fast powders purely in the hunt for velocity has a predictable result. Stay in or above Benchmark...

    6.5 Grendel

    I’d figure about 20 fps per inch of barrel, so would expect 2570ish in a 20” barrel. You above 28gr of TAC to get 2467 in a 14.5? I have a handful of 20” barrels of various manufacturers and get 2550 +\- 25fps depending on chamber and load specs, without stepping too hard on primer pockets...

    Recommend a place to have my glock slide cut for a RMR.

    Is it reasonable to assume all of the provided references will do same quality work on an Sig 320X5 slide? Want to mount an SRO as low as possible without affecting function in any manner.

    Whos bolt is this?

    Not positive, but think Lilja used Maxim bolts when buying a new barrel and getting a headspaced bolt.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Just finished last small details on 4 of 5 of these on V7 Sovereign receiver sets for a good friend. Still waiting for JP FMOS BCG’s and last barrel, but was able to run a box through and break in these four with a spare BC and properly headspaced bolt. Garage does more than double duty, and a...

    Tractor Supply kicked in the nuts over DEI

    I saw the same scenario noted above in better part of 40 years in a highly pressurized manufacturing environment, run by very similar MBA’s at the behest of the private equity ownership that switched hands every five years. New ownership would always bring in their fleet of consultants, who most...

    Plated bullets, not bad at all

    Have been using Precision Delta 124/147’s for both ESP/PCC with great consistency, accuracy and are very cost effective over about 7-8k rounds. A bit more expensive than Berrys, but reliability is worth it.
