Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. I just looked, and the KVP 7.5oz buffer is 4.125”. No way it would work in .223. I guess the 9mm doesn’t have to go back very far to lock on a colt/Glock mag.
  2. Kowa scopes are awesome if you can justify the cost. I used my 82mm for highpower for years. Most days .223 hits at 300yds were visible, depending on the lighting.
  3. What weight were you using? I have one of the solid 7.5oz KVPs I might try.
  4. Shooting in the woods on my home range I prefer green (vortex spitfire). In matches with dirt berms and direct sun I prefer the red.
  5. Very cool, thanks. I’m going to check that out tonight.
  6. Mine do, 100% of the time. I’m using a mag block with my SBR lower. Otherwise it runs great.
  7. Im also a fan of the K2 on my PCC. It is a little grippier than my BCM mod 0 which I also like. Basically any of the more vertical grips I like nowadays. But there is no "best".
  8. I would agree that the squarish corner profile is a little harder to get when you are chicken-pecking with Dillon tubes, but I've never had an issue when seating them. I've shot about 3-4K of them in Glocks and PCC, all went bang. Local Cabelas has them occasionally.
  9. Adjustable gas system is eye opening. Once you have that, you'll have a baseline amount of gas that it takes for your rifle to cycle. As you lighten/upgrade parts in the reciprocating system, you'll notice that you can close your gas system a little more. This generally amounts to less sight movement too. You can even see things like worn gas rings. Changing to fresh ones for me allowed me to close my gas block another click or two.
  10. I also use intermediate magnification a lot. Somewhere around 2.5X is good for finding mini-poppers in grass at 75-100 yards.
  11. I would be fine not having 1x only if I had a really good set of fast offset irons. I am definitely slower with magnification >1X in bay style stages. If there aren't any targets under 50 yards, then not an issue. I can't see a situation in most 3G events where you'd need more than 6x though.
  12. At 12.99, I don't care if there is a little surface rust. I haven't experienced that in mine, in AL where it can be pretty humid.
  13. Colt style mags are a beast to load. I've been meaning to get a lula, but for now I find it easiest to stand the mag on a table and force rounds in with both thumbs. Definitely limits your ammo consumption. Good luck.
  14. May be from using pistol length gas system on 300 blk? 100% of my 300 blk is suppressed, which makes a mess, so I couldn't compare apples to apples.
  15. Some brakes are worse than others. I was shooting the AAC 51 tooth mount/brake in 3 gun since it worked with my can. Doubling up on ear pro worked fine for my ears, but the overpressure would often blurr my vision, I guess because it was messing with my retinas. I switched to a Lantac dragon for 3 gun and it is much better for the shooter. Shooting a brake, plugs under muffs seems mandatory. My ears will ring if the plugs aren't in. Electronic muffs on top of plugs are great, you can crank up the volume to a comfortable level to where you can hear conversation and range commands, and you're still double protected.
