    Barnes .308 175 LRX

    I plugged it into the Berger stability calculator and played around with it a bit. I try to keep my 175s in the 2750 range (Barnes load data with CFE 223 has a published max of 2728 in a compressed load) so I can get a bit further out. Keeping at 2700fps at first the calc gave me a moderately...

    Apps that incorporate plug in wind meter?

    Ive got Strelok Pro and Hornady, the Hornady app is getting better but still a little clunky for Android. The handshake between the Weatherflow Precision Weathermeter doesn't seem to be that stable. My last attempt (this spring) I tried pairing and still had to manually enter some atmospherics...

    SOCOM To Replace 7.62 NATO Sniper Platforms with 6.5s

    It's often piqued my curiosity how the 30-06 marched across Europe and twice liberated it, and in a generation became too large and impractical.

    Mandrel Neck Sizing Brass

    Nah, all the the mandrels I've seen are all nice and tapered at the end.

    Mandrel Neck Sizing Brass

    Yes, and I apologize for not being more specific. I removed the stem with the expander ball and decapping pin from my full length sizing die, then I use the mandrel to expand the neck.

    Mandrel Neck Sizing Brass

    Ive started using a mandrel as well just from the standpoint that the stainless or carbide mandrel, in the case of 6.5, has an extra .08-ish on the diameter than the threaded decapping rod. Tool deflection is an unfortunate reality, and when I can deflect the decapping rod in the die with...

    6.5 Creedmoor Dies

    I've used them all at some point, Lee, Hornady, RCBS, Redding, and Forster. At the end of the day they all get the job done and it becomes a Coke vs Pepsi debate. I'm currently settled on Forster, largely because I like the feel of them, and they haven't given me a reason not to like them, along...

    Euro Optic is good people!

    Totally agree with sirhr; I use EO probably 8 times out of 10 and have yet to be disappointed, in any regard.

    POF ReVolt

    I got one last Holiday season, and took it along to a one day LR here in fly over country. It shot remarkably well with 175 GMM, with the average group between .6 and .9 MOA (newbie groups on my own). I never had a single issue with extraction or ejection, the E2 system is really slick. As far...

    Muzzlebrake Mayhem

    White Zombie/Pantera/Megadeth in Bonner Springs... until I went to Suicidal Tendencies at the Ranch Bowl... I thought I was going to die in that pit.

    Muzzlebrake Mayhem

    Same story, just an Ibanez and a Marshall mini practice amp that I had headphones jacked into... and maybe a few too many pits.

    Are Muzzle Brakes Really That Loud to Range Neighbors?

    That was Newton not Einstein. Sorry but that gave me Forest Whitaker eye. If your logic holds, then every shooter's shoulder would put much more stress on the scope with that sudden stop than a brake redirecting energy ever could.

    Hornady is my hero!!

    Hornady might also be feeling a little bold since the ink has dried on their FBI contract, I don't know that they would have openly taken that stance if they were still in negotiations. It would have been interesting if Stag made good in their flirtations of moving to the Grand Island.
