Re: What are your Shot Show 300 Blackout dreams?

A 240 grain SPBT or HPBT bullet for less than 40 cents a round. One can dream, right? That might make me forget my hankerin' for a 338 Spectre and another suppressor.

Re: .308 M25 145gr Tracers

I loaded a batch over 15 grains of 1680. The tracers I have sport only a single cannelure, so I seated them to that length. They function, but I shot them short range so couldn't tell if they lit or not. Mine are orange tip, so I believe they're designed to burn after 100 yards.

Re: 8" SBR on a Big Hog with an SST

I have the 1-4x PST on my Blackout and the 6-24x PST SFP on my Creedmoor. Absolutely love the 6-24, but I'm torn about the reticle size on the 1-4. The reticle is a tad to small for quick shots, and the stadia lines are so small they're essentially useless for holdovers for me. I've read that on you...

Re: OSS supressor system or AAC SR-7?

I handled the OSS at the Silencer Shop last week, and it was an ungodly heavy and big suppressor compared to more traditional designs.

Re: Help me choose a barrel length

Not only is shorter better, I'd do the 7.5 so the handguard offers just a little more protection for your acme threads.

Re: 8" vs 10.5" suppressed barrel

Accuracy I can't say, but we ran my coworker's 8.2 CMMG side-by-side with my Noveske 10.2, both with YHM Ti Phantoms, and couldn't tell a difference in sound.

Re: 8" SBR on a Big Hog with an SST

Nice shot placement and kill. Congrats.

What distance to the feeder and what scope is on that rig?

Re: 180 gr subs?

I ran Hornady 168 grn Amax bullets over 10.5 grains of 1680, and these loads cycled my gun (10.2" Noveske tube) with the suppressor in place.
