Re: Hornady 110gr GMX Full Boar

For these, I'd recommend the TSX for most. If for some reason the results are not acceptable, then try the GMX. If neither of those are acceptable, then I would go back and evaluate the base again.

Re: Hornady 110gr GMX Full Boar

Not to compare apples to oranges, but FWIW the TAP versions of them were in the upper 2100's for these in many 9"ish barrel samples. I don't know how these would compare to their "full boar" offering? Most of my feedback for the TAP are positive, but there is a preference towards the ...

Re: EOTech 300 BLK sight

In my experience, most sub/super reticles end up being less preferable to a more basic one.

Re: Appreciate some advice on an optic

For most of mine in this barrel length range, I ended up with T-1s, T-2s, and EoTech varieties. Some with possible magnifiers, 3X/ 4X/ 6X, depending on what I'm doing. I've tried out some other RDS, but fell back to what I had listed. I've tried out many magnified optics on these, some for tests and...

Re: Who will cut, crown, thread a melonited barrel?

From my experience, cutting down and threading the barrels isn't impossible at at. The problems that can come up are how to face the crown clean with minimal displacement issues. I've found that certain abrasive methods have had better results than cutting tools for some. What's generically "me...

Re: Barnes 110gr TAC-TX Velocity

I've used both the 110 and 120 black tips, for what I'm doing, I'm staying with the 110's.
