Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. I'm partial to this: https://www.vikingtactics.com/shop/vtac-underbelt-only-for-skirmish-belts/ Works better than the other inner belts I've tried, and its not expensive.
  2. I measured both (repeatedly) while setting up my press. I haven't measured again in several thousand rounds. Flare was set to .384", and has worked well, including with my new Lee Inline Bullet Feeder. The 6th edition of the "Ammo Encyclopedia" lists the mouth OD as .380" in the military section, and .3799" in the sporting section. However, I adjusted my Lee FCD die until a pulled bullet had a VERY light (almost imperceptible) impression on the Blue Bullets I'm using. That measured at .376", prior to pulling the bullet, and I stopped adjusting it. Even though that's .004" smaller than the specified OD in the book, its worked very well for me.
  3. Was it the 124gr "NATO" white box? I got a some of that brass from a friend with a local PD, and I couldn't get the primers to seat. Sucks because they just switched to that as their training round, and he used to bring me a bucket of brass a couple times each year. They used to use a Speer round that didn't have crimped pockets,and worked fine.
  4. Silver or gold Sharpie, or oil based paint pen, depending on what the base pads are made out of.
  5. Isn't the same true for your company? What percentage of shooters at Open, and/or CO, nats, are using your products?
  6. My most recent PMO was purchased from Brownells, because of this: https://www.brownells.com/help/shopping/guaranteed.-forever/ If the OEM warranty runs out, I can go back to Brownells for help. It cost a couple bucks more, but I liked peace of mind the Brownells guarantee provides.
  7. I finally tried this out, and it works great. I will admit, I was skeptical, but for $55, I figured I'd try it out. I'll get some more mags, so I can preload up enough tubes for a typical reloading session.
  8. I have the Peltor 500s, which I upgraded with gel ear seals. However, if I had to replace them I'd get these: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Pro-Protect-Electronic-Protector-Technology/dp/B08WK79727/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=3TY9FYNWXAKRT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.49adS_IyfWHbQUDSe7TthWWVZrNMKtWN-cFvfu6OOnEZe3Y-xRi-DnrKCyMwhKjZvw72EtetPuGUCUdYkPqmyMM7Agdi2DAlD17RSDVy3jFfMy7hmsYKDg0gy1ZiM1QzLZIkT26vRFozyoJtDx7-5R50aLm5c-gTFL39cUcmLUaTlifLIX0EfCa-I_RV7yA1Hl0m8ysh-A2EuKvuaiZhow.dwaA7Ap-_EyIB6mYtbLPuUGiUk43Sr3cb6-zqZPsKbM&dib_tag=se&keywords=3m+pro-protect&qid=1709345967&sprefix=3m+pro-%2Caps%2C243&sr=8-3
  9. I have a dedicated dry fire gun for safety. That gun has a barrel block, and can't chamber a round. No live ammo, and no fully functional guns are in the dry fire room.
  10. This podcast had some relevant discussion of the classification system:
  11. I use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B079T8R7MC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&th=1
  12. I've used their warranty service twice. The 1st time I asked to buy spare mounting screws, and they just them to me for free. The 2nd time the manual adjust on a 407CO stopped working, and I followed the process at the website, shipped my optic back, and about a week and a half later it was sent back fixed.
  13. Another example of the term being in common use: https://www.scoringtech.com/about-recoil "In 2019 the Office of Navy Research (ONR) approached us to help solve the problem of how.to use hit factor scoring for Marines at a massive scale." (sic) I wonder if "hit factor" is mentioned in the patent application for that shot timer?
  14. For dry fire, I'm a fan of the Dry Practice Drill app. It makes dry fire way less tedious, as you can set it up to do multiple reps, and even multiple strings with descending par times, so you start your drill, and don't have to constantly reset a timer for each rep.
