Thanks, i did see that but it does not list the bushnell or the Delta Point pro. I tried calling t Bushnell twice and got cut off both time after a 15 and 20 minute wait.

I bought a Bushnell RSX Red Dot. It has a Delta Point Pro foot print. Are there any other red dots that fit this foot print? i would think there would be a chart for compatibility. if there is I can't find any thing on for the Delta Point Pro.

So I take it no one is ranging with one of these things. I wish I had been able to follow up on that because its never made any sense but has always pops up and is has been a question un answered. its been bugging me. Now not so much Thanks

Thats how I see it but I was looking to see if anybody had a different take on it.

Is there an advatage to using the 4 moa instead of a 2 moa dot for range estimation and holdovers? Like on an Aim point. I was told by an instructor once that a 4 moa dot was better but never got a chance to follow to up on why and how you would use it. To me it seems like the bigger dot would cover more of a target that a smaller dot and would be harder to work with unless you held the dot off to the side for estimations and then put the dot back on target. Anyone using a 4 moa dot for any kind of estimation?

I'm looking at a new upper and am trying to decide on a barrel with an A2 front sight or a barrel with no front sight. My thought was to get a red dot and co witness the dot and the front sight to keep things simple but then I got to over thinking things and was looking at a 1x4 scope and have that co witnessed with the front sight. Has any one tried, successfully, co witnessing a scope ( like a Vortex PST ) and a A2 front sight? I plan on using it for 3 gun and shooting out to 600 yards every once in a while

Yes there is some logic that can be applied. If the shooter always hits a 6:00 then the sights need to be adjusted. If it is intermittant then the shooter is pulling the trigger too hard and it would be more of a 7:30. A flinch, that anticipation of big bang and recoil is at 2:00. I know when I start to shoot low at 0600 I initially start blaming the gun. Then I go off to the side and shoot it to print it and find out its really me again. I like to blame the gun first because it makes me look bad when It's my technique. I was looking for the chart as a quick reference to help some new shooters at the range.

Thanks Corey. Thats what I'm looking for. I know this is not the ultimate diagnostic tool but its another tool in the tool box.

I hear there is a method of knowing whats wrong with your shooting by where your bullets hit. Example: If your bullet hole is at 6:00 does that mean you pushing down on the gun as you pull the trigger? anticipating the recoil. what about POI to the left or right? All this is assuming the gun and the operator can normally hit what they are shooting at when printing the gun.

I have a P16 ( 2 actually ) and had nothing but trouble with the power extractor. I had sent the gun back to them and they reworked the extractor. Over worked it actually. I talked with them a number of times about the extraction issues and getting double feeds. They keep wanting me to send the gun back. I knew it was he extractor so I bought a new one and installed it my self. Problem fixed. I did send the old one back and they replaced it. The problem is the extractor has so much slop in the arm and hole that it can slide off the top of the round if its gets worn or dirty. Good Idea but a bad design. Next time I'll float a loan and buy a better gun.

Thanks for the links. I'm on the right track.

I'm using bird cage bedding and reptile bedding ( crushed walnut ) to clean my brass. The reptile bedding seems to be slightly larger than the bird stuff but they both work OK and it is cheaper than store bought stuff. Only problem I have is when I'm done cleaning the brass, the walnut and the brass are both kinda dusty. I've been using my air compressor to blow the dust off but I was wondering what is put in the real cleaning media to keep the dust down? I've had a few ideas or thoughts on what I could add to the reptile ( walnut ) bedding to keep the dust down and shine the brass a little more but I was hoping some one here has already tried this.

I chrono the heck out my loads as I build them. I can't afford a new gun just yet. I don't think I'll have an ice chest full of ammo but thats not a bad idea. Shoot some, shoot some more and have a nice cold beer ready when I'm done. I still think thats kinda strange and hard to figure that if your ammo gets hot it goes slower. That could be an the answer to a discussion I was having with a friend ( while we were getting Chronoed at area one) about people not making their PF

I've heard that before. Exactly when do things start reversing?? I'm in Northern Nevada and it can get pretty darn cold out here.

Hodgdon data has an OAL of 1.125. listed on their web site. I didn't look at that before. I know people around here are shooting the Titegroup too. I just got to be a little different I guess. I'm sure I will eventually try a few loads with the titegroup but I'm still trying to narrow it down one or two powders. I still have a pound of the AA#5 I have to go through and I'm not looking forward to that.
