    Warhammer 40k

    A friend and I got pretty into the books for a while, way back when. Personally I really enjoyed the Caiphas Cain and Gaunt's Ghosts story arcs more than I did the straight up Space Marine stories. Many of the books I have were the 'omnibus' editions - multiple books in one super thick...

    2A WATCH: Seattle, WA State. Anti-2A police chief Shon Barnes.

    That's the problem. The 'majority' of the people in the I-5 corridor side of the state keep voting for stuff like this. Openly socialist city officials. Visibly anti-2A insurance commissioners. Full-on leftist governor. Plans to use the taxpayer's dollars to overturn the only initiative...

    Rookie mistake - primer identification

    This is the smarter option by far ;)

    Rookie mistake - primer identification

    Well... if you load a couple in your rifle rounds, and they immediately pierce/blank, they're probably pistol. DAMHIKT.

    Pre-fit barrel alignment

    Funny you should mention that... I was thinking the other day that I still have my 'troubleshooter' scope somewhere in the back of a cabinet here somewhere. Laugh if you want, but it's an old SWFA fixed 16x scope that used to get pulled out when my 'good' scopes (Leupold, then later Nightforce)...

    Pre-fit barrel alignment

    Zermatt went thru the action pretty much the same day they got it on their end. From the emails and phone conversations, it sounds like they checked everything out; nothing was out of spec from normal. As an aside, they said it had one of the last few 'gen 1' bolts (whatever that means) so...

    Bullet and powder advice for 1:8 .223 for target/coyote shooting

    Some of that depends on the individual bullet, and also how hard you're pushing them. As others have mentioned, there are a *lot* of 50-55gn bullets sent down range from 8 or even 7 twists every year. But if you're inclined to push pressure into the 'red' zone, and/or one of those people who...

    6GT vs 6Dasher

    As is most of the "load data" he presents. Nothing new there.

    Aero precision shipping times

    WA state basically banned any new sales of ARs as well as 'manufacturing' ARs... which depending on the interpretation of the law, includes home DIY builders. Little bit of grey area if you already *have* said AR and just want to replace a part. It's already 'banned', so you're not making it...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I'm curious what that rifle actually weighs with a bipod? Seems like it'd be a dandy little rifle for something like either the Factory or Open Light class in NRL Hunter?

    Tikka actions

    Probably because it seems like you cannot stand to let a Tikka thread pass with injecting a plug for Solus, or anything else. You prefer something else. We get that. *EVERYONE* gets that 😉

    Higher quality trimmers worth it?

    If I'm running through a batch of brass and have the odd one that, for whatever reason, didn't grow as much as the rest... I keep my Sinclair VLD chamfer tool on the bench next to the Giraud for the session. It takes a few seconds to grab the chamfer tool, give it a couple light twists in the...

    Barrel contour

    Even if you could find someone who would be willing to try, I probably wouldn't. Good chance of causing some irregularities in the bore dimensions, among other things. Better to sell this one, and either find another place to make you a pre-fit, or buy a blank from X-caliber and have someone...

    Bullet and powder advice for 1:8 .223 for target/coyote shooting

    Dunno where they fall price-wise, but maybe the 62gn ELD-VT would be a fit for your use case? Haven't tried them myself yet, so can't really say anything more about them other than they seem impressive... if they live up to the hype.

    Aero precision shipping times

    There's no way I'm pissing another $600 down that particular hole until they actually ship what I've already ordered. A reputable company would offer to retro those discounts for the customers that have orders in the queue, rather than making them feel like they just got fucked over... but I...

    Aero precision shipping times

    I can't even get through to them to *cancel* an order... the B.S. with putting the Solus on sale @ $601 when they haven't even shipped the ones people ordered @ Black Friday kinda got me a bit pissed. I went through the same thing as Byron above... tried calling CS, waded through the phone...

    Accuracy One premier primer guage odd Measurements

    In my experience... unless you have something like this gauge, or are very good using your calipers for a depth gauge, to check... you may not be getting as consistent results as you'd expect just uniforming the pockets. Whether that matters is a whole 'mother topic... I do find it...
