    Cycling issue

    I tried to search for this but did not find exactly what I was looking for so here goes. I recently purchased a Sig 516 upper. Took it out to the range with 223 (55 grain) and it would only eject on the "dirty" setting and not on the "normal" setting. It would not feed another round on any...

    Rifle Scopes Hensoldt 3.5-26x56

    I recently received this reply to an email (not from the Hensoldt-Cassidian company itself but rather from someone in close contact with them) in regards to this scope: "Scope is also completely new design internally as well, not based or copied on any previous Hensoldt scopes. Every bolt...

    Velocity

    Re: Velocity ok so I got a chance to stretch out my rifle/round combo to 800 yards. With a 100 yard zero, it dropped 1.5 mils to 300, 5.7 to 600, 7.6 to 700 and a whopping 10.4 to 800. I tried to duplicate the data in a ballistic calculator but it is dropping so fast past 600 and 700 I...

    Velocity

    Re: Velocity Well it subtends the same linear distance at 100 meters so I don't think that is the issue. Twelve clicks at 250 meters would still be 30cm (11.8 inches at 273.4 yards)correct?

    Velocity

    Re: Velocity How would a 20 moa base affect the sight height that you put in? I measured at the rear of the scope where it should be highest and got betwee 4.5cm and 5cm (1.77 and 1.96). Is this negligible? Also, Temp9, what did you use for click value? MOA or cm's? Thanks.

    Velocity

    Wanted to ask you guys a question. I worked up some handloads for my 308 (fn tsr xp with 20" barrel). 168 gr matchkings with 39.5 grains of H4895. I didn't have a chronograph so what I did was to zero at 89m (as per rangefinder) and then shoot at 251m. I know those are wierd measurements but it...

    Subsonice 308 with 168 gr. and H4895

    Did a search and didn't find much. I know this is very specific but I am trying to use the same bullet/powder combo that shoots best in my rifle now, just loaded down to subsonic speeds. So, anyone have any experience with 168 gr bullets and h4895 trying to stay subsonic? I do not have access to...

    Re: Joining the Army in a year and need fitness tips I forgot to mention lots of endurance stuff but it was mentioned by others. Oh and ruck marches are a good way to burn fat too. Just take care of your feet. Remember that in basic and good luck. -polarcow

    Joining the Army in a year and need fitness tips

    Re: Joining the Army in a year and need fitness tips And in between runs go running. Seriously. I was 275 lbs a year or two before I joined and knew I had some work to do. I'm only 5'10" by the way. I weighed in at MEPS at 182 and I literally ran my ass off.

    Hunting & Fishing Anyone use the yo-yo fishing reels?

    Re: Anyone use the yo-yo fishing reels? I guess not. Or everyone knows about them already. Just in case, here is a link. I think these would be a real time saver in setting up camp late in the day if you didn't have enough food on hand. I think there are better videos on youtube though...
