    Rifle Scopes Best FFP Scope on Sale to use alongside RDS- 18" 6.5G General Purpose

    I should specify a little bit. When I talk about using a rifle in USPSA, I am referring to USPSA *multigun*, not the ordinary, pistol-oriented USPSA competitions that accommodate PCC divisions. If you are shooting a pistol course with a PCC, there is no reason to ever use a magnified optic...

    Night Vision N-Vision Halo Issue

    Yes, it ended up working again consistently when we snugged the battery compartment door down nice and tight.

    Plates.... anyone use Botach plates?

    That’s because they are not NIJ certified, but “tested” to the standard of NIJ certification (allegedly). All reviews I have seen of them indicate they are better than steel armor, but they are Chinese and uncertified, so definitely less reliable than hescos or RMA. At the low price they are at...

    Rifle Scopes Best FFP Scope on Sale to use alongside RDS- 18" 6.5G General Purpose

    OP, I read through the comments on here and I’d say for your budget you’ve made a good selection for your longer range applications. As for competitive shooting, I think people on here missed the mark a bit, but in their defense you did say that was secondary to 1,000 yards. In other words...

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr 4001 Cantilever?

    Just so that anyone ever searching this has additional confirmation: At the time I posted this, I also emailed Spuhr about this question. I wasn’t sure how responsive they are having very little interaction with them. Turns out, Spuhr is quite helpful and responsive to questions. According to...

    FL Dies Scratching the hell out of my brass.

    Ugh, that would be very frustrating to get it polished out and then have an immediate repeat. I agree with you that there’s a decent chance it’s some mixture of lube and dirty casings. I should be more conscious of if I’m transferring things to the otherwise clean cases in their case holder or...

    FL Dies Scratching the hell out of my brass.

    I was just waiting for someone to say they used their lathe lol. Seriously, does everyone but me have a lathe?!

    FL Dies Scratching the hell out of my brass.

    It is kind of sounding like I messed up and didn’t use enough lube on both dies. Curious that the imperfection was the same on both. I might order ONE MORE DIE and see if I can ruin it too while I polish the others. :ROFLMAO:

    FL Dies Scratching the hell out of my brass.

    I’ll take some pictures tonight. I do not think it’s a rifle issue, as it happens with brass fired out of two different rifles. Unless you’re saying that a piece of brass goes into the die already scratched and then leaves a mark in the die which then scratches other pieces? I wouldn’t think the...

    FL Dies Scratching the hell out of my brass.

    Best description of the issue that I can muster: I was using a Redding Deluxe die set, specifically the FL sizing die In 6.5 creedmoor, when I noticed my brass was getting scratched pretty aggressively in the same place. Upon inspection of the die, I see that there is a rust-colored spot in...

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr 4001 Cantilever?

    All, I have recently set up a rifle with a Spuhr 4001. I note that it has 5 clamping screws instead of 4 and their site describes the purpose behind this as being so the user can mount the rifle in a cantilever fashion. Can someone describe to me what they mean by this? If it means I can...

    1,000+ with 6.5 creedmoor ELDM

    Wow, that’s not a big target at a mile! I was 2/2 at a mile with about a 1.5 foot group (two shots, lol) with a friend’s 7mm SAUM, but I didn’t even try to take the 6.5 out there because I was discouraged by the 1,300 target. That load sounds very very similar to mine, so I really appreciate...
