  1. Depends on the gun, brother, and whatever optic that gun needs. Once you shoot it, and dial in your shiit, you'll see that 850 is a joke, once you dope the wind for it. It's really nothing major. For the guns that do 1100, I'll run a 4~14 type scope. For the ones that run longer, I'll run a 6~24 scope. For night shooting - and alot of people laugh at me for asking this one - does your illuminated scope dial DOWN enough to shoot at night? You NEED an illumitated reticle to shoot at night, especially when there is wind. If your illuminated reticle doesn't dial DOWN to a low enough light, then that reticle washes out your target, and you can't see shiit - but red lines. Bigass bright red lines - and you can't see your target, because of that. Next up, is WIND and night. Seems like a joke, right? If you have a simply "cross" type illuminated reticle, at night, with wind - you can't read a wind hold with that... You guess, and hope you get it down there... This reticle would SUCK at night shooting - because you can't dope wind with it, at night. THIS reticle is badass at night, because you CAN dope wind with it... It's pretty stupid,to come to the conclusions that we have, for shooting at night - but that's years past now, for us. Shooting at 450 yards at night is a common occurance, every single night, during a shoot. Wind, no wind, moon, no moon - we've gained such a regularity with it, that it's ... routine now... It's almost boring, unless there's a Newb around, then we show off a little bit... So, now, I guess the new game with @Matt.Cross is the 850 at night. I'm in.
  2. @Matt.Cross - we are truly sick individuals, if you're saying that this is the new game, brother. We're fucked up. But, bring it.
  3. That's what Quitter's do. Don't be a quitter. That goes back to 3rd Grade Playground Rules, right there. Nobody ever likes a quitter, brother...
  4. Oh, it is ON now, brother. Cold-Bore 850 at night is the new game, I see?...
  5. Don't be scared - just lay back and let it happen... Show up, brother, and you'll see what all the chaotic shiit-talking is all about. It's real. I promise you that much, and it's worth it - and I promise you that part, too... You have my money-back guarantee on this madness...
  6. I won't quit until you show up, brother. This year is the best year. And every year gets better. Just think about all the shiit you can talk to JF89 after this... This conversation has me thinking about something new, too - we're doing an 850-yard Night Shoot....
  7. Damn! Good thing the Shoot is 5-9 November, brother! You're RECOVERED by then! Tell the boss it's COVID-related - you'll be paid, AND have the time off! I'll bring a few Ruger 10/22s, and we can base 200-yard competitions around those - so you don't have to cry about recoil and all that shiit. I'm looking out for you, brother. I'll even duct-tape a Maxi-Pad on the buttstock on them for you, and bring Extra-Strength Midol with me. Hell, I'll rub you down MYSELF with Vagisil, so it will help with the other manly kind of "aches and pains..." Rub you all over, too. ❤️ One thing to know, though - once you come out for a shoot, you're fucked for life. When you see it, do it, and experience this chaos - there's no turning back. We really are all that, AND that bag of chips... It's memories that you'll never forget - and never get back. I'm not exaggerating that in the smallest bit, either. We do it right, brother. Risk it - we're worth it. After that, you can tell ALL the Full30 Brothers what they're missing... Let's let YOU, make this gathering larger. YOU might be that guy that gets the .308AR and Full30 groups REALLY TOGETHER... You're that guy. Right now. I'm not instigating, or anything, though... I'm just sayin'...
  8. Every single day here, we learn something. Not one day goes by without that, or we're blind. Stop learning, stop growing. That day, though, the lucky lesson was "slings..." The back and forth will never get old, brother - someone is gonna do something, with you and me... and push the other. There has not been a single time that is has not been comical, too. You can't pay enough in retail tickets to a professional comedy show, and get laughs like we've had. Minus travel money for this, it's all free, too, and that makes it even better...
  9. You shot a .308AR with an OPS INC can on the end, with no sling. You didn't stand a chance, brother. I was slinged up TIGHT when I made that lucky shot with mine... I cheated... I didn't tell you that, though, and I offered no observances when I saw you draw up to the line, with that can hanging off the end...
  10. For those that don't know, the 850-yard target is kind of a joke between me and @Matt.Cross... So Matt comes out here, several years ago, during a Spring Shoot. We were low on numbers, not many people. We set the 850 up, ... Well I set the 850 up... yeah, whilst Matt and John set up the hill-shooting position... I get back there, and Matt makes a shot right away. First, he looks at his data, dials his scope, settles in... BANG! Miss, but just barely low right - with a slight South wind (due west shooting angle, south wind is from the left), 90* Full Value. He holds left edge of the target, second shot, and BAM! TING!... Matt rolls over... And says, "My weekend is DONE. I got what I came for." First-rounding the 850, cold-bore, is a thing for us. Between us. I think it started with a Morning Wood Shoot, when I got up early,before everyone else, and just yelled "EARS!"... With the 20" .308 Bolt gun, standing offhand, I cold bored a 400 yarder first shot. That pissed Matt off. To no end... I think his words were... "That will NOT be unanswered, my friend!..." He didn't hit it, though... Lesson, friends - when you talk shiit, and then you actually pull it off... You just WALK AWAY, and you MUST act like you MEANT TO DO THAT SHIIT. Don't give any other details. Don't say shiit. Just walk away, and either holster it, or let it hang from the sling., swinging like a Big Dick.. and you HAVE to be cocky about it... - like you meant it. It just bewilders motherfuckers... Even a blind monkey finds a banana once in awhile... Inside, you're saying to yourself, "Damn, I can't believe I just hit that..."... Just act like it was on purpose... If you're quick enough to think about blowing the smoke off the end of the barrel, it adds to the psychological impact, of the impossible shot that you just made, first-round... The crowd is mind-fucked... Perfect example of this is Larry showing up late for a shoot... @392heminut... Gets out of his truck, and says, "What are y'all shooting at?..." Well, Larry, we're trying to hit that 250-yard IPSC steel plate with pistols... He pulls a 1911 from his holster, angles it up... looks around... angles it up a little more... He pulls the fucking trigger, and a second or so later, ... TING! YOU HAVE TO BE SHIITTING ME!!! He manned up, smiled, and HOLSTERED THAT GUN, AND WALKED AWAY... THAT is how you do it, men...
  11. Right?! I can't wait to bust that bitch on the 850...
  12. Here's something for the public. I don't have anything to do with this website, besides searching for information about companies. I look for data. From employees. You wanna find out something about a company? Search this site, right here - it tells you what the employees think about that particular company that you're searching about... Make sure you read deep enough about this one - I know, reading sucks... It'll tell you about your barrel, in this instance. https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Dc-Machine/reviews
  13. @Red Dog Leader, hopefully, some if this information pertains to you, as @Neptune47 just blindly dove straight into your information here. If some of his bullshiit doesn't pertain to you, then please just ignore it. If some of the information helps you, then Good. These one-hit wonders are fun to handle. @Neptune47 is one of them - until he decides to post again. About his competition friends that measure to the micron. @Neptune47 - come on back. All you need to do is back up what you're saying... We, here, measure shiit to the micron, too - and then we put the numbers up, so that others can learn. You're just talkin', with nothing of substance... There's no meat in your meatloaf, until you spit out details. The details are what matters.
  14. Did your friend check the distance from the gas port center to the breech face of an inserted bolt? Did he find you that PSA drills the gas port in an "in-between" position of Armalite and DPMS-based specs, and they use a regular old AR15 midlength gas tube? He check that? If he checked it, just from looking at your barrel, he'd find out that a regular old AR15 gas tube will be too short. You'll need an Armalite AR-10 Carbine Gas tube in that thing to fix that issue, in which the Armalite AR-10 Carbine gas tube is longer than an AR15 midlength gas tube. You're welcome. Pass that info on to your friend. I'm sure he knows this already, though, since the have a few fellows that shoot competition. Like to the micron.
  15. Sarah has PLANS!!!
  16. Damn, Eric - you did not fuk around ONE BIT, brother! Nice work!
  17. This is INSTANT KARMA. This chick blows up her ex-boyfriends Jeep. She still hasn't been caught yet, but she will be caught...
  18. I'm sending this to my ex-wife. The last one. Right now - simply based on that opening rib joke...
  19. It's both of those, plus one more - The Year that Dems Lost Their Shiit... I can't wait until 3 November 2020. In 103 days, we'll see them lose it again, like that dude in Scanners...
  20. DC Machine is old news - PSA bought them, years ago. So, what was the gas port diameter? Doesn't matter switching over to a rifle recoil system - know what a rifle buffer weighs? 5.4oz. Your adjustable gas block will only go "wide-open", and it's not gonna make any more gas flow at wide-open, than that 0.070" gas port will allow. You smell what I'm spreading, yet?...

    98's 6mm ARC

    That research that Hornady conducted on that was the whole reason they're discontinuing the older V-Max line, and moving everything over to the ELD-M line - the ELD-M tips are a different polymer for the tips, and don't give it up with the speed-heat. Interestingly enough, the Hornady "V-Max/A-Max" 750gr .50 Cal projectile... Was the first A-Tip. Years and years ago. What they found out with that particular "V-Max/A-Max" is why we even have the A-Tip now. That was the first A-Tip. https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/rifle/50-bmg-750-gr-a-max-match#!/ I'm a Hornady Whore, what can I say...

    98's 6mm ARC

    In the Grendel, I'm running the 123gr ELD-M projectiles, G1 is .506 and G7 is .255. Sectional Density (SD) on those projectiles is .255. Those are very respectable numbers, and that projectiles has served me very, very well thus far. The closest I can get, and the first A-Tip that they make is the 135gr. It's numbers are unreal, with a G1 at .637 and G7 at .321, SD is .277. That's agiant improvement over the 123 ELD-M, but I just don't know if that's too much projo weight to run in the Grendel, and get the speeds I like, and I'm getting with the 123s. On the .260 Rem, I've started that gun on 147gr ELD-Ms, and they are stellar through my gun. I have that load down to a science, literally. That's a G1 of .697 and a G7 of .351. The nearest A-Tip is a 153gr, with a G1 of .704 and a G7 of .355. That right there is not enough of a difference to make me change to a 153gr A-Tip in the .260. Not worth it to me.
  23. That 455 is just Dremel's part number for the package. When I end up doing this, I hit it with a polishing compound afterwards. That takes care of it.
