Re: survival bag

Powerbars now come in gel packets so you don't have to worry as much about it melting.

TASTE them first, some of the flavers blow. Chocolate still tastes like dog food to me. :x

If you have crimped 223 brass it will take an extra step. I use the Dillon Super-swager. Once you have removed the crimp here is my 223 setup on the 650. Set up two tool heads. Head 1 for case prep (deprime, full length size, trim to length): Station 1: Full length sizing & deprime Station 2: Em...

Re: Is the Dillon XL 650 Worth It?

Extruded "lincoln log" powders like 4064 sucks when you throw through a volume hopper. Going from memory I got variances of 0.3, most of the time it is less. For "precision" stuff I use the RCBS Chargemaster and it really slows things down. Some guys use two of them to keep thing...

Re: Is the Dillon XL 650 Worth It?

Congrats. If you polish the powder bar (I also put some dry lube on it) the press will run smoother. Develop a good stroke and you can consistently throw to +/- 0.3 grains even on tough extruded powders like IMR 4064 or Varget.

Re: AAC TiTAN 338 review?

A while ago Robert posted renderings of the Titan's core. I found out about this suppressor here in 2007 and had to wait an extra year for the next run which is why I ended up with a 2008 can. When I was buying it they had two different diameter tubes for the Titan. The screw on model used a larger ...

Re: AAC TiTAN 338 review?

As far as I know there is only one core for the Titan-QD. I know the thread-on version has larger diameter tube and volume so I expect it to be quieter. Maybe one of the AAC experts here can chime in. 308 sounds great through the can. Many people have observed the sound of the bullet hitting the pap...

Re: M4-2000 in 6.8 spc worth it?

Tough call. I have the SPR/M4 in 223 and 6.8. For 7.62 I use the SCAR-H-SD. The SCAR-H-SD is bigger and heavier than the SPR/M4. I would not want it on my 223. Have not shot the 6.8 for a while but I do recall the 6.8 SPC SPR/M4 being heavier than the 223 version. When I shot them side by side I cou...
