    Flyers at distance.

    Milo, no apology needed. As is my prerogative, I do get grumpy sometimes. I don't get to travel all that much anymore. I shoot when I can and when my health permits it. Somebody is going to get quite a number of fine guns when I finally kick the bucket.

    Flyers at distance.

    Not trying to be a douche, but why would anyone care what their gun does at 100 yards? I hear it all the time, other than zeroing a rifle, I see no point. Maybe cause I already have to drive 160 miles round trip to go shoot and 100/200 is all that is available to me? Not to be a douche either...

    AR-10 ladder testing?

    Load the round to SAMMI specs while you are developing your reloading skills. You will have more than enough to work on for a year or so in terms of skill and precision in your reloading before you have to start worrying about chasing lands and the like. When your reloads start equaling the...

    Flyers at distance.

    This is why I don't shoot groups. At 100 yards, it is easy with even a crap gun to hold 1 MOA. (I really don't like that term either). I much prefer to put a bunch of 1/2" dots at 100 yards and shoot one shot per dot at a relatively slow pace. 5 shots in 2 minutes is plenty and I will load 4...

    Safe to use crush washer?

    I'll go with the majority here, Peel washer, not a crush washer. The installation will be much cleaner and the timing much more precise. Once you know the thread pitch, you can select the proper thickness washer quite easily and get it down to one or two trials to perfectly time the brake. As...

    .300 win mag high pressures?

    I looked at Federal's data for the 300 WM 180g Fusion ammo and there is no way, fast barrel or not, you are seeing 3400 FPS and I would be skeptical of the 3200 number. I suspect something else to be wrong and my spidey sense tells me it is in your input to your ballistic calculator. If you...

    You shoot better unconscious

    I spent a goodly portion of my life playing pool. A simple task on the surface as one decides which ball to aim at, decides which pocket to put it in, decides what, if any, how much spin to apply to the cue ball and then pushes a stick into the cue ball in the direction needed and observes the...

    Jewell trigger issue

    I do not work on triggers or even adjust them should such be available. The one exception would be an over travel stop adjustment and I always make sure I leave a bit. Remove the action from the stock, flush with lighter fluid or mineral spirits, air dry or blast with some canned air and I'm...

    .300 win mag high pressures?

    If extraction is still easy and smooth and primers are still in the pockets and not cratered, you are not seeing over pressure. A chronograph measures bullet velocity, not chamber pressure. Yes, the two are related but I use a chronograph to evaluate various loads, seeking small SD and ES and...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle "shift" when adjusting magnification

    I would be concerned about something like that from a technical aspect. I very much doubt .1 mil is going to have much effect on your shooting unless you are breaking the trigger while still moving the mag ring.

    Rifle Scopes Older Bushnell Tactical 6-24x50 scope?

    If it still has the user manual in the box, read it and see if it is a mixed situation with a mil-reticle and MOA turrets. That is a pain in the ass you don't need.

    Rifle Scopes S&B PSR Scope - how to take the gold emblem off?

    I'm hoping you are referring to the objective bell of the scope, not the actual lens. I'm pretty sure a 10" angle grinder will get the job done but I doubt you would like the results. On a serious note, unless you know what form of adhesive was used, you are just going to have to try a few...

    Rifle Scopes Optical zero is 1.1 mils off of mecanical zero?

    That the reticle may not be dead nuts (technical term) center in the tube is one thing. I personally would not concern myself with 1.5 mils. You still have plenty of adjustment and, I'm assuming, plenty of hold room on the reticle. The mount thing is something different. I don't use LaRue...

    Point of aim shift question.

    I would agree on that smaller sample size if you are stacking them. 5, at a good pace, will tell you a little more and 10 is even better. You are dealing with a system here that has a lot of variables. Shooter, rifle, wind, ammo, temperature, even lighting and contrast on the target and, for...

    5.56 practice Ammo?

    PMC 55g 223 has been MOA or sub MOA in my SR-15 with only a Comp M4 atop. A little over if I'm having a bad day with the trigger. To be honest, I don't shoot the gun all that much anymore. I'm busy fighting with my bolt actions and some macular degeneration causing eyebox issues.

    Shooting off a floating platform and suspended tire. Tips,advice suggestions.

    I don't shoot from platforms in the water, but I do have some experience with shooting using a tire swing. Load the tire just like you would a bipod only more so. The more tension you can generate in the tire chain, the more stable the tire will be. The important thing is to be sure you are...

    Do I really have this much to learn

    Wisdom of the ages, or aged in this case. :)

    Rifle Scopes Why such poor warranties on scope electronics?

    If you think like a cat, you will only hunt in the hours just around dawn and dusk. They don't have reticles but have eyes that are adapted by eons of evolution to see better in that lighting. The single most important thing is to make out your target, secondary is seeing the reticle. In...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Engage

    Ya know, Tony, had you been this specific in your initial post, our banter never would have happened. From my point of view, I take scopes as they come. I often buy used guns that already have a scope attached. I grew up in the 50s and 60s with nothing but a 4x Weaver scope, MOA of course, on my...
