So first of all I tried to register and post on silencer talk.com. I have three emails through yahoo, gmail, and hotmail and they don't accept any of those! Kind of unusual and frustrating. Anyway I thought I'd post here and hopefully there are some suppressor experts on here. I'm...

Expert? I wouldn't put myself and expert in the same sentence. I didn't even know what ballistic coefficient meant until a few months ago. Actually I had to look up and see what pontificate meant (that's a ballistic term right?). BTW I'm sorry if I spoke: in a pompous or dogmatic manner. I...

That is interesting and makes a lot of sense. So what calibers are "underrated" for their load data? So generally speaking calibers that have been around a while, probably have lower maximum load data?

Thanks for the that input. To me that is really what makes the most sense. I'm a firm believer in the simplest explanation being the best. Even though the hydrostatic shock theory and several others like that seem neat, I don't think there's enough evidence to believe them. I do however...

I think there is a slight misunderstand there. A subsonic round for elk would just be stupid, I would never do that. However A .30 caliber suppressor on a 300 win mag (shooting supersonic only), that I also use to shoot subsonic on a 300 blackout would be ideal. In a 300 win mag this would at...

That's probably what I will end up buying. I'm also thinking of just a 308. I've heard with the new powder that's out, people are shooting the subsonic 308 very accurately. Plus I'd want it to shoot supersonic as well. The ballistic coefficient on the blackout isn't all that great and it's a...

Shooting with a suppressor is why I'm interested in it. When I finally decide on what gun or guns to buy this will be a big part of the decision. I want something that will shoot subsonic and supersonic, suppressed and unsurpassed. Mostly a semi auto for hog hunting. I also really like my...

It would seem to me companies that make ammo have the modern technology to make the very best stuff money can buy. But reading and talking to people that doesn't seem to be the case. I've read you can load a cartridge to better fit and shoot out of your rifle, which makes sense. But what...

So I've read a lot about "kill power" of a bullet and I think I'm more confused now that I was beforehand. It seems like everyone has a different opinion on "kill power" of bullets. So what makes kill power? First let's state the rules: 1) obviously shot placement is key (now nobody needs...

After doing a little research I found this place that takes 223 brass and cuts it to 300 blackout size for 8 cents a each: http://www.bradswarehouse.com/ Then I found this place which luckily is next to my house that reloads that brass lead core for 41 cents a round. Bringing the total...

I've heard rumors of modified 223 brass, and reloaded to 300 blackout for 25 cents a round but so far I haven't been able to find that. The cheapest I've found is about 60 cents round. Anybody know where to find it cheap?

Now that's a lot closer to my number. I'll chalk up 1/4 lb to an inaccurate fish scale. You'd think remington would figure it out.

I would definitely do this if I was writing it on the website. But for me I was just getting an idea and for that I don't need an accurate scale. Most bolt guns are in the 7 lb range and you could tell just by holding both next to each other the estimate was off. I first grabbed it and said...

I had researched the remington R25 extensively and was seriously considering buying it. So I held one at dick sporting goods and immediately noticed remingtons claimed weight of 7.75 lbs on their website had to be off. It felt much heavier. So I unpackaged a fish scale right in the store and...

Actually i'm doing the opposite. I want to go with a 308 so my flinch isn't worse with a 300 win mag or a 338 or something bigger. I've read there are few shooters that don't flinch from anything with more than 20 lb of recoil, which is pretty much anything over a 3006. Don't know if that's...

Short and simple question. Can you change calibers with this rifle? Benelli advertised with their r1 rifle with a barrel, bolt, and magazine change you can go to any caliber they offer in that gun because the gas system adjusts. Of course the AR's you can do the same with uppers. The...

They say they are 7.75 lbs on the remington website. But I think that is a gross exaggeration. It feels about 1 lb heavier than that.

I've been out of action for a few days so sorry for the late reply. I should add my flinch from my 300 savage came as one of the first guns I shot. The scope hit me in the head because it was a special "saddle version" with a short stock. Even with a stock extension pad on it, it still popped...

Sorry about the double on my FNAR. When it all came down to it it's was just too heavy to carry around elk hunting all day for a week straight. So ended up selling it. Now looking at new options. I really just need to pull the trigger on something (no pun.) Story of my life I'm trying to...

I actually owned an fnar for about 3 weeks. I walked into a wholesale sports and they had a fire sale on it for $750. Without knowing anything about it or guns in general I snatched it up. Never even shot it and finally concluded it was too heavy to pack around hunting all day long. So I...
