    Precision Rifle Gear Tricer RP Bipod

    I have one and like it a lot. Not as fast as a triple pull of course, but seems as solid and at a third the price and half the weight it's a no brainier. I was using it high sitting without a rear support and was hitting 18" steel at 1k without a problem.

    Geissele GFR Maritime Reconnaissance 6mm arc write up and review

    These (and 15rds) were briefly in stock yesterday at almost reasonable prices. https://www.eurooptic.com/geissele-icm-20rd-stainless-steel-blk-magazine-05-3232

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    I don't disagree, but it's very very nice as is. I shot with it on my 12 lb (with can) 6.5 Creed yesterday and it was doable to spot hits at 200 yds in awkward positions.

    6 ARC Gas Guns

    I got 2490 fps in an 18" AR with 26.7 gr N140. That's a near max load. I tried Staball Match with no luck, really slow. Didn't want to go CFE or LVR. Not fast, but those bullets are fantastic. Edit, sorry the 106 TAP, not A-Tips.

    338 ARC

    Why do you think roller delay would be better at reducing port pop than gas delay? I haven't heard that e.g. a HK53 or ZF-56 is any quieter than an AR platform.

    Seeking Low Back Pressure .30cal Can (so many choices)

    If you read Pew Science's article on his Omega term, he lays it out very clearly. I was able to go through the Silencer Summit data and pull Omega values out, and confirmed the values were very close to what PS reports. Basically you measure the slope of the initial impulse, and take it's...

    Approximate RPM's of digital power dispensers

    Sounds like 300 rpm in at least one case:

    Staball match being dirty and causing issues?

    I thought it was cleaner than TAC, but that's a low bar.

    6mm Arc Build Questions

    I'm sure I could tune it to run unsuppressed, but then with my high back pressure can (Polonium 30) I'd be getting pretty gassed out as the dwell time is pretty tiny it would need a lot of gas. Not a huge deal for me. Picture not really required but why not.

    6mm Arc Build Questions

    I'm also running a 18" rifle +1" gas. I think it's got an A5H1 buffer, and it's tuned for suppressed but absolutely will not work unsuppressed. I think the performance overlap would be a lot bigger for rifle gas if I was taking the can off a lot.

    .277 Fury 16.5” shorty bolt report

    This is true, I was having difficulty sizing completely (hence trying the small base) but that was fixed by annealing after an initial forming. It also fixed the neck tension issues when turning. The 7/16 tap is a very close fit there. I ordered an oddball M9x1.25 tap and screws instead, as I...

    Keeping Suppressors Cool

    I use a similar little pump, but I'd definitely recommend using silicone tubing. Much higher temp resistance (~200 vs 450+ F). Melted plastic in the chamber is a bad day. Bonus is that the pump can act as a battery pack for the LabRadar.

    New Sig Spear in 6.8mm

    Back more on topic, as 45-90 said, you can essentially remanufacture hybrid 6.8x51 ammo for pretty cheap if you're so inclined. Certainly makes more sense than paying those insane prices, if you're set on the Fury. Primed cases are $0.50 each shipped here...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    lol Two deer must have winded my buddy on the other side of the property and sprinted basically directly at me. I wasn't really desperate for a deer (just finished processing my elk) but if they insisted... Just to try different things out, I'll likely hunt with 106 TAP or a monolithic this year.
