Re: Who keeps their data in Excel

I’ve been using excel to compile all the data in one place. Also graph velocity, ES and SD data for loads. I would be interested to see what you’re doing.

Re: New toy on the way, any hints appreciated

For the battery issue, $10-$12 for a battery similar or EXACTLY like the LaRadar battery from Amazon does the trick and it also can be used with the Lyman bore camera too. I’ve had mine for a year and a half and it was frustrating initially. As others have said aiming is critical. The signal strengt...

Suppressed, Doppler is the only way my LR will reliably trigger. Get the phone app, I’ve found it easier to use since that was introduced.

Re: Scar owners ???

Silencer Shop published a “compatibility list” for the SCAR, I have a SilencerCo Saker and when I had the 16” barrel installed it without a shoulder ring. When I got the 13” barrel I did get a KBA ring and used it. Both aligned well and have worked flawlessly with Factory ammo. I’ve worked up some l...

Re: Wilson Micrometer Case Trimmer

It is excellent and has worked well for me though it is time consuming. Sinclair makes an attachment to use a power screwdriver and also has a carbide cutter for it.

Re: Ice Skating uphill.......

Typical leftist underhanded ploy, can't change opinion to get their way so keep coming at it for different directions. It's the whatever it takes means to an end and all because they KNOW they're right. This really sucks and the only way to fight back is economically. I only hope there's enough nega...

Re: best powder for 8.5" unsuppressed

I use IMR 4198 in a .223 load with 55 gr Hornady FMJs in a 10” barreled SCAR. It has a flash hider but I do run it most of the time suppressed. Runs exceptionally clean in that rifle. Unsuppressed with only flash hider there is very little if any flame out the front. BHO with the correct gas setting...

Re: The New face of the Democrat Party

A very sad commentary on too many folks that are just sheeple. Too many looking for what the govt is going to give them but not concerned with what they’re giving up to get it. Too many participation trophys going to school and as a result don’t know what accountability and responsibility are. Also ...

Re: Good Red Dot and magnifier systems

All valid points above, I have 2 aimpoints a T1 and a T2. I bought some time ago but I think they priced themselves out of the commercial market. A lot of good optics out there for the $$. IMO Vortex is hard to beat for the $$ and the guarentee is second to none. Strikefire, Crossfire and Spitfire a...
