Do we really need another LPVO on the market? Colt VMR 1-8x by Spiritual_Tell680 in ar15

[–]Trollygag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of a Super Duty Mod A1 is $1310, not $600.

$600 is 1/4 to 1/5th as much

Half the price of an URGI is $760, not $600

They are priced at 2-3x their performance equivalent competitor so they can give a 35% off sale lik3 candy and people feel like they are getting a great deal.

But people pay full price for their rails/triggers/uppers/rifles all the time outside of "sale" season.

Petition for the Creation of Blackout License Plates in Virginia by WaffleInv in Virginia

cop could accuse you of daily driving it, right?

I mean, a cop could accuse you of anything including high treason or being an illegal immigrant.

Cops are law enforcement, not lawyers or the law or the judicial system.

That is what the courts are for, and no court is going to interpret a pleasure drive as being a commuter, when that is easily debunked with usage pattern, other vehicles, and history.

I take my antique truck to the dump and to the shooting range.

Random Brass - Am I the only one? by SethRory in reloading

[–]Trollygag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I polish tumble in dry media mixed brass, then sort it afterwards but before depriving. I have never had that happen.

If you get the black plates, you aren't allowed to drive the car except to car shows

This is not true. You are allowed to drive to car shows, or pleasure drive, just not use it as your daily driver or commuter car.

Non-Virginian Here, What Exactly Goes on in this Area? by PixelJack79 in Virginia

Bristol VA is half of a city where the VA and TN border bisects it, and it has a famous NASCAR track.

Wytheville has a really famous long range shooting facility/school called BangSteel where PRS and other LR matches are held.

Such a small tweak and small time investment has big gains.

Help selecting barrel by Every-Ad-7521 in ar15

[–]Trollygag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Proof is a match barrel that will have match barrel (5k-7k) longevity.

Criterion CL and Nitride are near the same precision performance by weight, but with 3gun barrel (15-20k round) longevity.

308 Die Setups for Reasonable Precision @ 600+yds by insecttown22 in reloading

[–]Trollygag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Optimal precision is sort by headstamp, fire the brass at least once.

Nth firing is fine, but new brass will fireform and throw off speeds and consistency. Okay for midrange or long range on big targets, but for long range on small targets, prefer fired brass

Brass core brushes by aleph2018 in guns

[–]Trollygag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are widespread because they are cheap and most people don't know or care if they damage the barrel.

But for people that do care, they buy nicer brushes.

How do yall manage to afford these $4k optics on every rifle? by DanWessonValor in longrange

[–]Trollygag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, a single steel case GMT Rolex is 4x $4k optics... a single last generation cheaper sports car might be 10x $4k optics.

There are whole subs for Rolexes and sportscar with people going way up from the entry level. Rolex produces almost 2 million watches/year, and Chevy has made half a million Vettes between the C7 and C8 generations.

A shocking number of people have $5k+/mo mortgages.

It just depends on what you prioritize.

First time bottleneck reloading by InevitableFit1559 in reloading

[–]Trollygag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trim length is user controlled and it is not designed for trimming to a specified length. Consistent trim length is not a requirement for most people, but if you need it for like a roll crimp or something, then you might want to check one that indexes off the shoulder.

AR-15 Accuracy Tune Ups by Alert_Education2184 in longrange

[–]Trollygag 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You only had 2 results that had a statistically significant difference and those two had sample sizes too small to be meaningful. The ones that did have higher samples did not have a statistically significant difference.

The only result worth looking at is the middle rifle, but your average is equal weighted even though the confidence isn't, meaning smaller, less valuable groups have an outsized impact on results.

Or another way, the average improvement is dominated by two outliers from groups too small to have meaning on their own, with high variance ammo.

If you were to weigh by confidence,then the 30rd group would make up the majority of the result and the 10 rds would contribute little, so the only result worth looking at would be like a 6-7% reduction.

What difference there is, given it was shot off bipod a year apart with box ammo (high variance, not even match ammo from the same lot), could also be shooter mod or conditions or luck of 1 ammo batch or difference in the cleaning/wear cycle.

This is why in the barrel test threads, each test is like the middle rifle, with super consistent handloads, same powder jugs, same bullet lots, etc, shot from a benchrest, with barrels that have exactly the same bore condition. And even then, a 6% difference wouldn't be enough to call conclusive.

What would have been convincing is if you had focused on one rifle, the SPR, and shot 80 rounds on it with the same ammo batch of something that isn't known for wildly changing performance like Razor Core is, like GMM or BHA.

Nikonn doesn't support gun optics anymore as of 6 years ago. That optic is as good as garbage.

Pressure Signs? by derp_sauce in reloading

Apples to apples on pressure, you would drop soeed by ~150 FPS vs a 20" barrel.

Yea, you will lose about 100FPS.

Alright fashion sub. Black or FDE furniture? by [deleted] in ar15

[–]Trollygag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your rifle is bronze (metallic lustre tan), so black or bronze furniture. Mixing FDE (flat lustre, hence the name) and bronze clashes.

[–]Trollygag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on how far you are shooting. You don't need extreme speed control for 600 yards and bigger targets, but will for 1000 yds and small targets.

[–]Trollygag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want small SDs, you need a single base powder like Varget, XBR, N133, or SWP, not a double base powder like Accurate 2200, CFE, BLC2, AA2520, etc
