  1. If memory serves, the MSR has a collapsing stock and therefore a carbine tube. An A2 is a rifle length tube for a fixed stock, so you'll need to swap that out.
  2. Where did you find a mid gas 300 AAC? I've been keeping my eye out for one for a while.
  3. 99% chance the doubles were accidental bumpfires caused by your technique. If you lighten the JP to CE weight the problem will just follow it.
  4. Same. Soundtrack and old cars kept me slightly entertained. Story was very disjointed.
  5. Shot them all. For mid range, toss a coin. 6.8SPC is pretty much dead for factory ammo. Doubt the military's adoption of the new platform will be nearly as widespread as Sig and youtubers would have you believe and I doubt even more that it will revive the SPC. Grendel has been around longer than Creedmoor and it's popularity has always been a slow burn and will never see an explosion, but I bet it will be around for a long time yet. Same for 6mm Grendel, now repackaged and introduced as 6ARC by people that stand to make a profit by pretending it's new and exciting.
  6. ASC's have been working great with the Grendel variants for me, but reading through forums it looks like mags are a crapshoot and what works for one guy is garbage for the next. I suspect part of the problem is actually improper gas tuning, all of my Grendel experience tells me they are more sensitive to under or overgassing than 233/5.56. Every feed issue I've ever had has been easily fixed by gas adjustment.
  7. Never even heard of this "brassing" till I clicked on this thread.
  8. Sounds easy. But this is 2022. I don't get to "pick" anything. I don't personally know any shooters who do right now.
  9. Well that's not helpful. I've been buying everything on the shelf for two years and most of it is not exactly the load I'd prefer. Also, when I started as an MD I bought a star for personal use and testing. They are not all the same. There are stars that release plates easier than others, some take a full choke at 25 yards if you want to have a chance at it. The very next could be a LM at 30. Presentation matters a lot too, some stage builders don't take the time or don't care to get difficult targets perpendicular to the shooting area and that can make a huge difference.
  10. Agreed. When I shoot PCC in USPSA I do it knowing full well I'm shooting a pistol match. I don't expect or want any concessions in stage design. People ask how that tests a rifle. Well, the test is still to go as fast as possible, and some other guy with a PCC is doing the same thing, so I gotta beat him. I shoot plenty of real rifles in real rifle sports, when I shoot PCC I don't expect to do real rifle things with it.
  11. No, I mean it in the face value way. I hear constantly that pistols shouldn't have to compete against rifles. We never hear anything like Prod shouldn't have to compete against Open, even though the capabilities of an Open gun aren't that far behind a PCC. But it makes sense that we don't hear that, you're only competing against those in your division, even if there's some other guys shooting rifles while you shoot a pistol.
  12. Just out of curiosity, lets say Production and Open got paired up. Would people still say "X division shouldn't have to compete with the other"?
  13. Oh I definitely try to shoot clays from the max allowable distance when I'm choked up. But it's not always an option, especially when it's a toaster clay at 7 yards that only goes 6 feet high.
  14. Did this with lead shot once, just to see what happens. I think it ended up just slightly heavier than an H2. I think it's still in one of my rifles somewhere.
  15. Just to be sure, you've checked that there isn't a zero stop that you're bottoming out on? Sounds silly, but 9 times in 10 that's the answer to these threads.
  16. Agree 100%. There is a significant time advantage to be found when running by static clays with a spreader and pulling the trigger without so much as a hint of a sight picture vs. deliberately pointing the gun and needing to see both the target and the bead with a light mod. Unfortunately MD's in my area seem to have negated my spreader choke by putting some 20+ yard heavy steel in every stage that has clays.
  17. Carlson's have been doing just fine for years. I'm sure someone with a patterning board and all day to count holes could prove that spending more gains you something, but good luck proving that it makes a difference in 3 gun.
  18. LOL, I've never seen a gun as big as a TS almost disappear in someones hands before. I wish I could offer some advice, but my hands don't even have the square footage to replicate your problem!
  19. Found your problem. You've got sasquatch hands. Should probably do something about that.
  20. FWIW the ads don't bother me at all, I'd much rather scroll past more of them than have the site shut down.
  21. I just spent 10 minutes trying to get this to happen. I couldn't. If my thumb is on top of the safety and I'm crushing the grip like I should be, no amount of support hand meat can push it up.
