  1. I kept hearing about how well this powder worked for some and I thought I'd give it a try. I tested two groups of 23.5 and 24 grains of RL15 at 2.250 OAL and had one group with 24 grains come in at under 1" at 100 yards. Throwing out a called flier the remaining four were under .75". This was with an 18" stainless Noveske. No chrono data yet.

  2. I had the exact same problem. It was a wrestling match, but I finally got it to go in. I wonder if they crimp that middle ring to keep it from coming out if it breaks??? That's where it was hanging up for me. I think I may have used a small amount of lube but it still got shaved off a bit. I wonder if you could sand it a little. I don't know if that would impact it's light drawing capabilities.

  3. I was told today that the Glock 34 gen4 is coming out in about a month.

    That would be great. It's not often I can keep money in the bank and spend it on what I intended to. In this case, I've had it sitting for a while.

  4. Interesting how each gun can be so ammo picky. I've recently finished testing several bullet/powder combo's in my PRO. I did do some groups at 25 yards, but I did it all standing unsupported and the groups suffered. Next testing will be benched at 25. I was really disapointed in the 147 XTP's and I was about to give up on the PRO due to accuracy issues, but after this testing, I'm glad I kept it. The 124 XTP and 147 Missouri Bullet Co. are my new favorites with the 147 PD a close third.

    Likes:

    147 MBC lead with SOLO 1000 or WSF (SOLO was under 1" at 15 yards unsupported)

    124 XTP with TG or WSF (grouped 1" at 15 yards standing unsupported with both)

    147 PD with WSF was right at 1" at 15 yards

    Dislikes:

    147 XTP with TG were just so-so 2.5"-3" at 15 yards

    125 MBC RN grouped well but left more lead

    115 WWB 3"-4" at 15 yards

  5. They must have designed this scope and reticle with a certain bullet/velocity/barrel combo in mind. Any info on what Burris recommends? I didn't find anything on their site.

    Has anyone found any combo that works perfectly out of the box?

    It's based on a 62 grain bullet, but I can't recall the velocity off hand.

  6. I finally had a chance to get mine mounted. It's replacing a Millett DMS. So far, I really like it. Its shorter in length, feels lighter and the FOV is more favorable than the DMS. I also find that it is easier for me to find the "sweet spot" for eye relief with the TAC30, compared to my DMS. hav not had the chance to sight it in though. Hopefully I will by next week.

    How does the glass clarity compare to the dms?

    I understand the eye relief being more flexible, but how about the exit pupil when compared to the dms? Meaning, can you have a sloppier cheekweld than you could with the dms? I know it isn't an eotech/aimpoint but just wondering how critical cheekweld is when compared with the dms.

    I have a Primary Arms 1-4x with a DMS cat tail (they use the same body) and wondering if the Tac30 is gonna be a true upgrade or a so so one (not including illumination) and whether or not I should look at the higher end PST/XTR/TR24 optics.

    I went from a DMS to the TAC30 and it is worlds apart. The FOV is much larger and you do not need a perfect cheekweld to pick up the reticle. I found the DMS to be very sensitive to a consistent cheek weld. The clarity of the glass is a huge improvement too. If the Vortex PST had been available I would have bought it, but I'm glad I found this first. My opinion is buy it and don't look back. If you don't like it, you will have no trouble selling it and buying the Vortex. Hell, I might buy it from you as a backup......for a used price of course. ;)

  7. That sucks. I had a G23 let loose once. It's pretty scary. I was lucky to find my extractor and it went back in. I also had to reassemble my magazine. :blush: Glad you're ok. Post pics! I'd also like to know if your barrel has lead in it. It may not have been the lead bullets.

  8. I did buy five G17 mags for $10 a piece for my future G34. :D

    Cool. Where did you get that price?

    Drool.

    OMB Guns in Olathe Kansas. They are police trade in mags. I also got two G23 mags. They all look great.

  9. OK guys, why would I have a texas star with plates that won't fall from a rimfire hit?

    Why would I have ANY plate that won't fall from a rimfire hit?

    If I'm going to have a rimfire division!!!

    Great! Now I'm "That Guy" with the stupid questions. :( What I should have asked is if the stages are going to be totally different for rimfire and centerfire, which it appears they will be, thanks. Feel free to DQ me for asking any more stupid questions. :ph34r:

  10. Another option is to install a Browning Gold 12 Action spring and run the heavy piston. It will cycle everything without beating up your gun. It has the added benefit of making it much easier to cycle the gun by hand in the event of a malfunction (hopefully a rare event). On my gun at least, I could barely reach under the gun and pull the bolt back at all with my weak hand. With the light action spring I can do it pretty easily.

  11. I was under the impression that if you wanted to permanently change the configuaration of your SBR, you can notify the ATF and they will change it in the registry. I have a 5" 9mm AR with a Trident and to me its one of my favorite toys. It's not really practical for anything other than giggling while shooting steel. What I didn't care for at all was a 7.5" AR Pistol. That wore off quick.
