    2 mile shooting -3500 yards

    Impressive to say the least. It wasn't too many years ago that 1000y was quite the feat, 3500---wow, how far we've come.

    Subsonic .308 load data? another question :) 2

    Slight declines were fine. When we would sit in our box stands to shoot hogs, we'd just tap the powder to the primer and gently lay it back down. That was good enough to keep the 1/2" 100y groups, but we still took shots without all the fuss and would get 2-3" vertical stringing groups...

    Subsonic .308 load data? another question :) 2

    I've been loading subsonics since '95 (pre-Trailboss) and of course you can use those powders. For over 7 years I used Hornady 220's over Greendot (~10.5 grains if I remember correctly) in a 18", 1/10" twist Kreiger barreled 308. The sound signature is incredibly quiet and the accuracy is...

    300 blackout loading data for rem 700 16 inch bbl

    I've loaded 308 subsonics with unique, red dot, blue dot, and green dot--typically with 220 Hornady's. You could probably make it work in a 300 BLK was well. While I got great sound signature results, the powders were very tempermental to temperature and powder position in the case. Lil' gun...

    Subsonic .308 load data? another question :) 2

    IMR SR 4759 will work as well as Trailboss, but with the lighter 168's you have, Trailboss is what you want. I think there are several loads I posted in the reloading data section several years ago.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Military

    I was waiting on the '14 price list to come out in hopes I'd find better reticle options on the MK8 3-25, but if it's up $700 over last years price, I think I need to keep shopping.

    Need a new pair of boots.

    Danner Acadia has my vote. I got a pair for my last 365 to douchebagastan, wore them all year and have been wearing them almost daily since returning 10 months ago. Very comfortable and no break in period.

    Night Vision TNVC Announces the WASP NV Clip-On Device

    Last night I got to put a PVS-14 behind a 5-25 S&B PMII and could clearly make out the 5, 1" bullseyes at 25x on the 400 yard target with an illuminator. Is a clip on such as the WASP really going to give you that much more clarity if you can only get it up to 12x-15x?

    Suppressors 510 Whisper dies?

    I got mine from Hornady and I don't remember having to wait long for them, but that was 7 years ago.

    Night Vision TNVC Announces the WASP NV Clip-On Device

    If I remember correctly, these were designed to compete with the PVS-22. Any plans to challenge the CNVD-LR performance and price?

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MK8 Reviews?

    I'm curious too. I've yet to find a good review or comparison to other top end scopes. It's probably a function of the lack of availability so far this year. There are several reviews of the Mk6 available, but I really want to see a head to head comparison of the Mk8 to S&B glass based on the...

    Night Vision what helmet to buy?

    Team Wendy Exfil is awesome with the BOA adjustment strap/ring/whatever you call it. I like it so much I'm having my supply Sgt order a ballistic version with that type of head mount for the whole team. Definitely beats Army issue, hands down.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 8 3.5-25x56mm M5B2 Front Focal

    Has anyone had a chance to compare the Mark 8 3-25 to a S&B, Premiere, or other top end scopes? I've been searching for reviews and not coming up with much.
