I will let you know my thoughts when I purchase it in a week or two.

Well looks like i will be trying this sooner than i thought. My vp6 gamma 300 blk i just got doesnt time correctly with the crush washer it comes with.

Glad things headspaced correctly, thats the issue i ran into with my 260

I like the ACSS HUD DMR reticle. Simple to use quickly but will work for long range shooting. And not to busy of a reticle.

Gonna sell these prison shanks? Lol

Another piece of information, is this is the contract for 2018 and 2019 we are trying to get past the legislature! We arent even talking about the new year yet and we should be

Could be. Really nobody is doing us any favors since the department of transportation has the money to increase our pay already and is fine with that, so no more funding is even needed. And it will cost 5.3mil more a year for the raise for everyone im the state patrol from lowest trooper to superintendent. Thats a drop in the bucket compaired to their multi-billion dollar budget

Hmmmm good to know... not like i will have the money for a suppressor in the next 2 years or more. Lol

Vortex. They are a local company for me, with great service and great deals for law enforcement. Plus the price isnt bad at all for the optics.

Why are crush washers a no no for suppressor use?

Is it sharp or just pokie pokie?

Sounds like he is supporting us either out of pressure or his own reasons. It is actually Voss that is our biggest obsticle.

I am happy the thread made it a half a page before... Tom... derailed it. Haha

Unless she bites

Fair enough, it is a cool round. I always liked the 6mmAR but it didnt go far with the market. Such a small niche for them.

Yeah you are right, but you still dwarf me. Haha. Little bit bigger than what i want. @jtallen83 and @sketch thanks for the videos. Seems i just need to find a gun shop or range where i can hold them side by side and see which one feels better for me

I love vortex, especially since they are local and have an amazing discount for law enforcement. Also primary arms is amazing for the price.

Still will be middle of the pact for large agencies in wisconsin, but much better than where we are now. Fingers crossed

So after looking into some things further, i remember now why i pushed the 25-45 out of my mind. It has barely better balistics at 200 yards than my .300 blk with decent hornady or nosler hunting bullets, but with a smaller diamter bullet. They say it is a 300 yard hunting cartridge, but i would say it is 250 yard maximum on deer, based on the ballistic charts i have seen. Now to me, the difference between my .300 blk and the 25-45 sharps is not enough to make me want to build a new rifle, other than for the reason of you can never have enough guns if you have the money. The biggest problem i found is i feel likr 25-45 is a handload only round, which is nice that it uses a .223 parent case. But i could not find factory loads anywhere in the normal websites i buy ammo and parts. I couldnt even find ammo for it on ammoseek.com. Now looking at 6.5 grendel, it has about the same energy at 500 yards that 25-45 sharps has at 250 yards. Way better for deer hunting at any range if you ask me. Plus better sectional density so you getting the penetration you want with deer instead of bouncing it off of a shoulder blade and causing massive damage to meat with a ricocheted bullet or shrapnel. Sadly i had this happen ones with .243 winchester. And finally onto 6.5 grendel's ammo availibility. The stuff is everywhere. Many small gun shops and larger retail stores i have seen it in. You can even get steel cased wolf ammo for some fun plinking for 24.5 cents a round. Not to mention some decent affordable hunting or target ammo from the main manufacturers. My two cents is the grendel is the way to go and will last the test of time, we will see if 25-45 does.

I would say 6.5 Grendel. Thats my next build for a deer hunting rifle for my young boys and maybe the wife too. Unless i am wrong, feel free to correct me, 6 5 grendel will have more energy on target for deer hunting ranges than 25-45 sharps.

I need a monthly mail thing where i get a new knife every month because i loose them like crazy. Somewhere there is dozens of my knives. Lol

Doing alright, hoping to get a raise because we are 4 years behind on our contract for a pay raise. Just political stuff holding things back.

I am glad you guys chimed in, because i was going to comment on sisco's size and how he he could conceal carry a barrett .50 😂 @Sisco and i looked at the m&p subcompact 9, i dont really care for it. Smith and wesson has never been my cup of tea.
