    H4895 issue?

    23.4 was showing 2810 for 5 shots of 77 smks… that is smoking in a 18’ ar at mag length. Brass looked fine a bit or cratering but no real ejector marks.. I’m just trying to make sense of the info especially why it wouldn’t function in the rifle. I’m going to drop it down a couple grains and see...

    H4895 issue?

    I haven’t done much with AR’s other than my m4 when I was in the marine corps. Just trying to learn, I appreciate the help

    H4895 issue?

    Shooting unsuppressed, honestly not sure on the adjustable gas block or heavy buffer but I don’t believe so as I told them I didn’t plan on shooting suppressed at that time.

    H4895 issue?

    My case gauge is for a cle chamber. I just find it interesting that published data for h4895 and varget are very close and real world data in my rifle is way different. Im going to play around with some lower charges of h4895 and see what I can find out.

    H4895 issue?

    I figured 24.2 was going to be hot but 23.4 was a common load posted. After seeing chrono numbers I will start much lower. 2’oclock was a typo, the brass is for the varget load is at 5’oclock from the prone

    H4895 issue?

    I have a 18’ compass lake built AR 15 CLE chamber. I’ve been shooting mostly 77smks or Berger OTM’s over varget no issues. I tried some 77smks over h4895. Started at 23.4, 23.8 and 24.2 in REM brass annealed on an amp trickled in with my v3, small base die and brass fit the chamber gauge...

    Which short action magnum?

    I’m a big fan of the 7 saum but I Do prefer it throated long so it really shines in a med or long action. My next mag will be a 25 in a saum or prc case

    I’m sure there is alpha brass available for the 6 dasher. That gets my vote

    Separate or Combined Rangefinder Binoculars

    I have the 10x32 geovid pros and nl pure 12x42’s. The nl’s obviously have better glass and get the nod for glassing for coues deer. The geovids have good glass and upgraded to the full ab suite. So far everything lines up for my 223ai and 25 creed. Really nice to range and get a firing solution...

    Help deciding caliber

    It’s an interesting question. I had a 6br, great round super easy to load for. I went 6 dasher and have the same great experience with it as I did the br… biggest drawback is the bullets. I prefer the 105 hybrid and they were really really hard to come by for some time. I have a 25 creed I’m...

    Medium action 6.5 PRC Zermatt Origin action and Criterion shouldered prefit

    What kind of hunting are you doing? Back packing? Horse back? Stand hunting? How far are your shots going to be? 6.5 prc is a good cartridge, I really like 7 saum. I prefer shouldered prefits to nutted barrels but just preference. I’ve also found it easier to find chassis and stocks in LA or SA...

    ATACR vs PM2 for SRSM2

    Not a ton of experience with both but I’ve had 2 Atacr 5-25’s and 3 pmii 5x25’s. I prefer the glass on the pm2’s , the eyebox on the pm2’s was easier for me to get behind. I can’t stand the rotating eye piece on the NF, I always seem to unlock the diopter. I prefer the zero set or whatever on...
