Yes, the case for reloading is still strong if your talking benchrest. But I'm shootings steel targets that are almost always 1+ MOA. So factory ammo is essentially the same cost as reloading and gets me a load that's "good enough". When I first got into long range shooting I liked to "chase the perfect load". But that gets old quick. Now I like spending my time shooting/practicing.
This. I have had two lots of FGMM that SD under 8. Very good consistency.

It takes a special type of personality to reload. My FIL shoots, so he can go home and prep brass/reload. I shoot because I like to shoot. I'd rather just throw the brass in a box for a later day.


Aaron, there I was, last Monday....fondling an AT while at MHSA. I just can't get over the fuggin feel of the chassis. I just no like. No like at all. I ran an AICS for a while too, and couldn't do it anymore. I thought the pistol grip would help. Wut do?

Most of the shooting Frank Galli does on the snipershide videos is with Prime ammo. It's really good stuff.

I have two hunting rifles that love FGMM also. The 120gr. Nosler ballistic tip in .260 is my go to for dropping white tail. That is some good stuff for sure.

I've been wanting to try the Prime, but now that I'm invested in the 6.5 reloading setup I can't see spending money on anything other than bullets and powder. I DO NOT think I've saved any money by reloading. By the time you get all the equipment you have to shoot a lot of rounds before you start seeing any money saved. I'm about to spring for an RCBS charge master and a WFT in 6.5 and 6mm to speed things up.

My main advantage to reloading is being able to pick the bullet I want instead of finding the factory ammo that shoots best. The 140gr ELD-M Hornady load didn't shoot well at all through the 10BA Stealth. The 120gr A-MAX shot very well, but I didn't want the 120gr. bullet. Started playing with powder charges using Hornady brass and ELD-M bullets and now I have a load that shoots VERY well using the bullet I wanted.

The sbr 16S is for killing zombies at max 100 yards so 1-moa is plenty accurate. A $500 nikon/vortex works pretty damn well, post pics when you get it though.

I don’t think I’ll dislike it. If I do, my fault for not shooting it before buying it. I don’t think nor expect it to be much different than the 4 nor bad at all.

I'm looking at railing my 20" BCM. Might do that, although I think I'd want the upper receiver and the rail cerakoted brown and then the lower and furniture would be black.

Part of the issue is that I want it in Medium Coyote Tan, not FDE. Seems like everyone and their mother has FDE but not much MCT out there.

Maybe a 12" rail and a 14.5 bbl, although not too hot on a pinned muzzle...

I’m a fan of complete, budget ARs, and this is too much for even me.

I’ve been seeing the mid-length Savage MSR Patrol for $550. No way to go wrong with that.

Should I buy a foregrip for my Colt LE6920? Any other addons I can buy to make it more HNNG?

So far I bought a butt stock so I can attach my sling that I bought, Aimpoint PRO Red Dot for optics, a couple windowed mags, thinking of putting a decal on it too.

Would getting a Geisselle trigger (spelling) help? How does it help?

Thnx for any help.

The stock trigger is a single-stage trigger, meaning that you start pulling on it, it kind of creeps back, and then eventually breaks, firing the gun.

A Geissele is going to be a two-stage, with an easy take-up on the first stage, and then a second stage that takes a small amount of additional force to break, firing the shot.

It allows you additional control over how the gun fires.

There will be deals on them posted in here probably on Black Friday, and maybe before then. Just keep an eye out.

After tonight's Public Safety Forum for my town, the County Sheriff will most likely not be a fan of me.

We pay the SD to provide patrol and traffic enforcement for the town. Have seen a SD cruiser ONCE in 3 years, and people regularly speed like maniacs through the back roads and main roads as they know there is no enforcement. Plan to ask him to provide detail on how often they patrol, where they patrol, where and when they conduct speed enforcement, number of traffic stops conducted and citations issued etc.

So the Colt shipped today. Got the tracking number. Where it says "Ship to" it says my home address though......... This leaves me confused, surely it's going to the FFL though right? And it also says "Adust Signature required" like they are shipping it to my place.

Wut do

They're not going to ship it to your house. It's going to go to the FFL, they'll sign for it, and then you can go pick it up.

What part of "Shall Not Be Infringed" are you having trouble with?

Call or online support the carrier and ask them where it is going? If they say your home address, and you're sure that tracking number is a rifle, tell them it needs redirected to -address of FFL-? If they don't say okay we can do that, explain the 'need' part of that.

It's probably going to FFL anyway though one way or the other that's not something a firearms seller should really be ****ing up lol
