Bro. Seriously. Are you kidding me here? I can spot you any gas gun you want, whatever caliber you want, any barrel length you want - WITH the ammo you need to shoot. ANYTIME you want to venture down here for one of these. Get you down here the day prior, zero the gun/ammo to your eyes - and it's game on. I just need the TIME from you... You just need to bring enough underwear to get you through the weekend - I'll even give you a spare toothbrush. I'm NOT loaning you any underwear...

I heard @JBMatt throw one of his "NAAAAW..." signals in there on the Pole Stage... When have we heard that one before?... Someone find it... and post it here...

I'll upload the Stage Briefs, so you can all see them, with corrected distances to the actual targets, from the night before the match. @JBMatt put this vid together from Stage 1 through Stage 6, even though we start on Squad 4 (Sqd 4 - 4 LIFE!), and run the match 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, in that firing order. Cool that he did that. 4, 5, and 6 are always the longer-distance stages, and more subject to wind, when we have wind. Based on sign-up time, and shooter order, I'm usually a wind-dummy, firing early in the Sqd, on those stages when there is wind - so I get alot of questions about wind, after I shoot them. I usually don't miss the longer-distance targets, despite whatever wind we have - but I can sure fuk up a stage on shorter targets... with a quickness. Doesn't make any damn sense... I'm sure it'll come up - Matt's gun is a 22 DPC. That's a 6 ARC case, necked down to .224. 6.5G and 6 ARC differ, in that the 6 ARC shoulder is bumped back 0.030" from the Grendel case, as well as being necked down to .243, from the Grendel .264. So, the .22 DPC is a necked down 6 ARC case. When you look at 22 ARC - that's a necked down 6.5G case. .22 DPC has it's has shoulder moved back 0.030" more than the .22 ARC... That's the laydown on the cartridge. I was shooting a LaRue full gun, 6 ARC in that match, WITH Factory Hornady 108 ELD-M loaded ammo. Gun differences, for that match.

Hell YEAH!!! WELL DONE, BROTHER!!! Nice editing!!! This is just the start, of a YT Channel, where we get to go at it, and the horsefuckery is actually caught, captioned, and preserved for the rest of time...

Here's 2 clean stages of what you fools are facing... Time limit, max rounds, multiple targets, multiple firing positions, and stress management to get it done. I can't always juggle all that, but I did this time, and it was cool.

He's going to need to Pony Up and come to a match, that we time around one of the Shoots out here... And, so are YOU... Gas Guns Only. Let's do this - both of you. Fall Shoot '25 is ON the 3rd Saturday of the month this year. Matt and I will miss that match - for YOU Fuqrs... We have choices - break from the Shoot, hit the match and come back to camp - or let's make another weekend during cool temps... So it's easier on you "temperate Climate folks." I'd hate to ask you to come out here in the next two months, July or August, and Man yourself through the heat of such a magnificient event. I mean, I can take care of you when you Heat Stroke out - but that's no fun for me, and the other, tougher, desert-attendees of the match, that routinely show up. We can do this one of two ways - talk about it, or be about it. Simple, really. Bring a gun that runs, is zero'd, zap out here when it's not uncomfortable for you, and just do one match. Just one... Can be a weekend deal, for you guys, when you have a 3rd Saturday of the month open. Lemme know when you're coming... Or, sit on the couch, and talk about it...

Bah!!!

Hell yeah - he's the shot caller. Glad I trained him so well as a Spotter. He knew two things about long range before he met me - Jack, and Shiit. He spent that $1k store credit on the Long Shot 2 Mile Target Camera System - so we can SEE what you fuqrs hit and miss at the Fall Shoot... Fall Shoot is gonna get Spicy! @JBMatt, I know if we don't quote you, you'll never find these gems of knowledge, wisdom, and enlightenment...

Damn, I miss that company. I wish DSG was still around. That's a great buffer, Bill. Stainless body, and filled with 2 steel weights. You can change those weights out for tungsten weights, and make that buffer 5+ ounces, easy peasy. It's a roll-pin punch away. I've only used one of those buffer bodies, as a test, in my first .260 Rem gun, but I've recommended it many times - when DSG was around. I ran it just to prove the short recoil system. 2 tungstens in it made it 5.15oz, and it functions that gun just fine.

Wilson Combat. You don't need a 22" barrel for hunting, the 20" WC will do you fine. I had to fix the gas port on mine (I have two of them, two different guns), and after that, they are lights-out accurate as hell. I wouldn't trust anyone else out there making .260 barrels right now.

Post pics. Get some pics up of what you're getting out of the chamber - chambered round, unfired, extracted, ejected. Measure the OAL of what you extract. Need to see what it's length is, after you get it out. Measure new, unchambered, unloaded piece of ammunition to compare it to. List the exact ammo, who makes it, the ammo specifics, etc. Dangerous or not? Depends on what you come back with for information...

I'm sure those books talked about the Ranger QRF that went in there to clean that place out, in the fallout of what it turned into. CPT Nate Self will be mentioned in those books, without doubt. He was in charge of the Ranger QRF that went straight into the top of that mountain, to take it all on, head to head. THAT was a shiitshow, by itself, let alone that whole mission, and mission decisions. That went down early March 2002. CPT Nate Self was the Platoon Leader of the platoon that was assigned QRF duties - so they went. And they fought. In November 2003, on my Afghanistan deployment, I was assigned to all 3 line companies of 2/75, A Co, B Co, C Co. CPT Nate Self was one of the Company Commanders in 2/75 that I worked for. He is Legend. Fuk, all those leaders are Legend, and all doing amazing shiit now, post service. Last valley I was in was with C Co - we recovered the rotor blades from the MH-47 from March 2002, Takur Ghar battle, the Roberts Ridge battle. Some local dumb fornicate got ahold of them, and decided to use them for the roof beams for his mud hut. We took them back.

Shot my initial loads - made 5 ladders, hit 2750 on the 3rd ladder (over 2750), and stopped there. Right after that, went back to Ohio for family stuff for a week, turned into 2 weeks, and I've been back at work now for 1.5 weeks. Haven't touched it since I made my initial speeds. I'll get into it gently over the summer here, but it's hot as fuq. The MagPro is 1fps per degree, which isn't a big deal for me - so are most of my other powders. RL22, RL15, Accurate 2520, so many others. Dealing with the load, with a 1 fps/degree difference isn't a big deal, down here, when you know how to deal with it. That's the whole reason we shoot in July and August here - see what it REALLY does. I run summer and winter dope charts, and loads. I'll work into the 300 A-Tips and the MagPro, and see what happens, but I won't take the data too seriously, until the weather starts to cool down. Once my fall comes, and my temps stabilize - you better watch yer ass...

800 lbs of bike is a fair fight against a 100 lb deer - but the deer has 4 legs, and the bike only has 2 wheels... That was a badass contact and save, right there.

HAHA! We wouldn't DISOWN ya, brother. We all speak Mils... However, for this much distance, we'd just refuse to convert 700 MOA for ya, just to make our Mils make kinda sense - and instead, just leave you on your own... Nah, not that severe. Carry a solar pocket calculator (because your phone battery WILL eventually die...), and when we tell you Mils, multiply that by 3.4377, and there's your MOAs you need...

Be the one...

I have already posted the exact equation, right here on this board, and explained it all in excruciating detail. With diagrams, to explain it all.

I'm completely in for that - the more information that real, accurate, and is available - the better for everyone that fuqs with large frame ARs - and AR PCCs... I've pretty much run the gamut. I have all the Large Frame AR calibers that were derived from the .308 Win Cartridge. Biggest to smallest, is .358 Win, .338 Fed, .308 Win, 7mm-08, .260 Rem, and .243 Win. They all run, but all the recoil systems aren't identical. Alot of the recoil springs ARE the EA1095 or the Sprinco Red, with 7 5/8" internal depth carbine extensions, though. That's a constant in making the platform PERFORM, across multiple calibers. Nothing else works correctly. PCCs. I fought my first AR 9 for years, before I got that thing to run right. EA1095 did it. Same with my AR 45 - doubled, on it's own. Spring was too weak. EA1095 fixed that one, too. Researching PCCs, and a specific manufacturer, years later, they recommended the EA1095 or the Sprinco Red for ALL PCC builds, because it's the only thing that works. I found that information YEARS after I figured it all out on my own, and made my own guns run right. My recommendations, and my comments, don't come lightly. They're not based on internet research - they're based on real world problem solving that I've had to do on my own guns. Don't confuse your empirical data with my real-world experience, and try to discount what I say, which I've actually done - based on some spring rate that you've measured... If you want to tell me that I'm wrong - then build a gun, run something else in it for a recoil system, and prove it. You want to challenge my PCC recommendations? Blowback systems? Build a PCC, and figure out something different that what I recommend, and come back with results and proof. I'm all okay with that, if it happens - I'd welcome it.

This is exactly why I made the thread that I did, many years ago, about recoil systems, and gas systems. Exactly why I made that thread. It's still up here, by the way.

Not at all. I've built 2 of them.

I have 6 AR PCCs, in both 9mm and .45 ACP. I know what works, based on years of development, and I know what does NOT work, for buffer springs, in those PCCs that I own, over years of experimentation, failure, and success in operation. So, I didn't contradict myself one bit - I stated my learned knowledge on the subject, going back to my first 9mm PCC, that I built in 2010. How many do you own, Dewey, and what's your experience with them? What springs do you run on your AR PCCs? You are measuring spring rates, and this is a great thread, and a great thing that you're doing here. Don't confuse your bravado on spring measuring, with real world experience, and then translate that bravado onto someone that's actually tried the hard way, through failure and then success, in figuring out what works in the AR PCC platform. Cheers.

I told you guys that you'll meet Shaun - and you'll never, ever forget him, once you meet him. You won't forget Musket, either, his dog - once Musket snout-punches you right in the nutz... It's his meet-and-greet - let it ride. Just don't run... Shaun makes some badass vids, and he's damn good at it. Here's from over a month ago, but we've all been busy doing shiit. Check these out. SDTF. FOB Donkey. Wait for the headshot on this one... This was scope zero, speeds, dope, and break in of the new .260... I think it's good. @JBMatt wearing out the medium gong... Just a completely badass drone vid, over camp, FOB Donkey. Sent a whole mag from the new .260 at this thing, and rocked the piss out of it. That IPSC plate weighs 52lbs... Shaun has the magic, with the cameras, and the drone.

That's actually my cousin - strong family resemblance, I know... He has more kids than I do...

Hate promoting SIG these days, but that's one badass advert, right there.
