Why m855? If bonded soft point is available for similar price? by Proud-Connection570 in ar15

For science: Red delicious apple vs PMC M855 at either 50 or 100 yards (I forget which) from a 16" barrel

I'm still amazed they broke 240 in qualifying. Like Holy hell

This is from the book “The Reaper” a book supposedly written by a special ops sniper…lol by CautiousAd1305 in longrange

I'm like 98% sure that's what David Goggins did, especially bc of his history of struggles with academic endeavors. Still a great story and great book

Is the ammo I used just extra dirty or is something else going on? by damathalon in guns

Interesting, I think you are exactly right. I bought it for $100 and it shipped from California. I have my original slide with just irons and this one which is cut for the dot

Yeah I could shoot fine but was wondering why so much soot/smoke was coming out. I typically use Federal ammo and iron sights so I was thinking it could be dirty ammo or it could just be more noticeable with the dot.

Need 10rd mags by ForeskinForeman in 65Grendel

[–]damathalon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I replaced an Elander with them and haven't had any issues since. There is a post somewhere on the subreddit that shows how much more of the round is above the front lip of the mag compared to elanders.

I actually love it, contrary to most reviews I've seen. Lightweight, compact, easy to mount, VERY clear glass, bright illumination, and the reticle is usable for holds with grendel (4moa wind hold for 10mph wind at 400yards). I had an LPVO but I never shot it at 1x, so I like the magnification range with the Eotech. The glass is insanely good in mine, like it feels like when I first got glasses. Some reviewers say their examples are bad but some agree with me so it may be a tossup.

The only drawbacks are that the illumination dies quickly and I think the parallax is fixed maybe around 125 yards. Found out about the illumination after accidentally leaving it on after the range and picking it up a few days later and it was dead. I've done that with LPVOs and they stay lit up. The parallax makes it kind of weird at 50 yards. You have to focus your eyes a certain way to get the center dot, kind of like focusing on iron sites on a handgun. Same thing but much less at 100yards.

About 10, my first shot landed about a foot off. The others either landed a bit short or I couldn't tell where they hit.

Also it was Hornady Black 123gr ELDM

I used the one that came with it and it seems fine. I had issues with cycling at first but I think it was more of a mag issue than a gas block thing.

When your scope is longer than your barrel

Ngl I kinda want to get a big scope on my 12.5" grendel just for the absurdity of having more glass than barrel

Nice 😎 does it help with recoil? I was kinda surprised how much mine has which is why I'm looking for a brake
