Shot a match today and while 3 stages qualified as an excrement cabaret, I hammered the sitting rapid fire stage. 80 shot match so you shoot 2 strings of 10 in rapid fire. Start empty, at the "start", load a mag with 2, fire load a mag with 8, fire. 63 seconds. Its origins are in the std ...

Love the picture!
The dog in the back just makes it even better.

You are not alone.

Funny varget is no bueno, but H4895 is…. Huh. Oh well keep burning it!

I like and use H-4895 as well.
But it doesn’t get as much use as some other powders

Seems to me the path of exploration for this sort of thing would be in the PPC and BR general family of cases, probably with the quicker-burning rifle powders like 4227 to get the speeds up as much as possible in the shorter tubes. The Creedmoors might be advantageous because everybody's too cheap ...

In Short Action cartridges, my two most used powders is H-4350 and Varget.

Nah, it's just in your head...

If you ever go to a sub 16" barrel in 6 Creed, I can give you some good data with both reloads and factory ammo.

One of the milder 6mm offerings would be more interesting to me. But I understand why they went with .308 since they already have the rifle variant in.308. I would be more interested in something maybe not .308 as well. Which is why I was interested in this in the first place. So I could turn my ex...

Me as well.

Truth be told by the time I came home the, "You did what?" was already turned into, "Ok, show me what you got." with a big smile on her face. She likes to go off-road as much, maybe even a hint more, than I do. Especially when my granddaughter is with us. She LOVES going wheelin...

Truthfully, I don't know that many therapists personally.
I am sure there are some who carry or have one handy, but I don't know of any personally.
Well...I do know one guy

Nice Ride! I can put you in contact with some marriage counselors if needed... ;) PM me the numbers... My wife is watching reality TV Murder shows...... And I'm pretty sure I caught her taking notes :shock: Good one! So now, I need to find one that is going to be armed in the session as well???? :m...

I am not disagreeing completely with that... Put a can on that SA pistol ( Without a brace or being SBR'ed ) with a rifle scope, shooting a 168M's...You might want to give yourself some extra room, because it is going to come at you about twice as much as a brake :D :mrgreen: If a pistol uses a rif...

A good brake is so much more effective in reducing recoil than a can, it is not even worth comparing. My XP's started in the 80's-90's at 14", 15" and 15.75" Then I jumped to 18" for awhile. Some of those were dedicated comp rigs. I still have some of those. Then, I started comin...

Who uses brakes these days? Poor people? Brakes are for suckers. Cans is where it be. 😬 I am not disagreeing completely with that...

I have one suppressor that has a brake (The suppressor does cover it up), and I am not noticing an advantage. There is now more offerings, where there is a brake that can be screwed on the front of the can-Those add an advantage of more recoil reduction, but it also will increase noise to the shoote...

If Zee is patient, he may find one on the used market as well. The brake doesn't look to be much, and a 308 lightweight rig with a brace will not be as enjoyable in the recoil department as some will expect. Looking forward to seeing the street price. I will not pick one up, as I am slowly moving s...

Hopefully, the price will come down...I can sure see one of those in your hands

What did the keeper of the shoesalesman purse strings say, any discounts? Like I said, a little Science! to see if you can break one... Some people can break things without even trying... :D The SA Heatseeker is a cool SP, but currently costly. My guess is it would be a 10T, but that doesn't it wil...

I’ve been looking at that. Price will likely diminish my interest as have have a few .308 Specialty Pistols already. But, I’m interested. Need to see what the twist rate is first.
