Not sure why they're so spendy, but they are packed in such a way that they don't touch one another. Plus they come with a Crown Royal type bag that you wipe them down with as you load them.
Thanks Halfmile!! I missed the premier again. I had been out on the dove field all day getting my steps in. Over 10K recorded as I removed the steel posts and such. I've still got more work to do out there. I plan on burning the millet this coming Sunday. Well, I need to get busy putting together a video for Friday night. I like all you range videos especially in free states that allow the suppressor.
I know how getting work in (or putting on a match) can sure take it out of you and cause you to miss things...usually from being totally spent and tired. LOL...BTDT. I wish I could run my can here behind eney lines that's for sure.
Numbers & accuracy with the standard primer really looked good. Hope your heel issue is better cause I can imagine with all that walking how bad that foot was hurting. Appreciate all the info you give us. 🙏👍🎯🇺🇸
@@billdye3530 shoulder is doing great...that PT they put me through did the trick, hopefully well enough to prevent any further tearing and to maybe promote healing those tendons.
Your hat looks like my OD green Hornady law enforcement/military ammo hat, salt stains from the brim almost to the top. It's one of my favorite hats, and I can't get another one to my knowledge. I've washed it but alas the stains remain. 😂
I'm not sure why but the worn, sweat stained and grease/oil stained caps just seem to wear so much better. I've tried washing them as well but it just seems to ruin the cap. I have a brand new replacement cap...just can't bring myself to wear it yet, lol.
@@allthingsconsidered3211 LOL...she has this hat rack/form thing that she will run the caps through the washer with. I just don't think they clean up that well and the salt stains really bleach out the color, lol.
@@Halfmilesniper in the washer or dishwasher? I might have to get one so I don’t get in trouble. The dishwasher makes them come out new for me. Really “hoses” them. I have a bunch of salties hah I’ve even accidentally lost one while windy and working outside. Found it months later. Bleached. Ragged. New favorite. Well don’t know how we’re talking about hats so much! Keep up the videos. Nice sd and spread on the regular primers btw
@@allthingsconsidered3211 LOL...the hat thing works in the washing machine. It is a clamshell type cage that locks around the cap to maintain brim and crown.
I know what you mean about gripping too hard. I recently updated my technique for pistol shooting -- I was wringing it too tight. Moved to more of a "push forward" silid grip with the dominant hand and lessened the pressure on my supporting hand. I was pretty impressed how my groups tightened. But now you have me wondering how hard I'm gripping my rifles. Will pay attention next time out.
I realized I was gripping the rifle like it was a pistol on that 4th shot, and I suspect I did for the first shot as well. It is amazing how much influence just a little pressure can have on the target 100 yards...or further...away.
I hate dealing with clogged drains. We have one running slow but not clogged yet. I'll have to snake it between this weekends match and leaving for Mississippi.
I gripped the tar out of it without thinking...the dangers if shooting pistol competition all day then switching to rifle. At least I diagnosed that issue pretty quickly.
I am still trying to find some 153.5 or 156 gr Bergers...they have been unobtanium, but I did find some 144 gr Berger Hybrids and I will be testing those soon.
I do believe they are still aluminum...they sure look like it. I agree, they could have been/should have been marketed better. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
Do you happen to know brand of a higher set of scope rings , ones with it to low for me...or maybe i can move it fowward but had a hard time looking thru at target. (PFI )
I don't know of any higher rings off the top of my head. I do know the LaRue rings do come in different scope bore heights but the LaRue rings are a little spendy...great gear but you pay for it.
@Halfmilesniper ima try a pair off a ma zon, 7075 aluminum 1.26" "medium high " 30mm. I had a gift card...only 40 beans good reviews , will see. by discoveryopt. Thanks for reply !
You could be right, those magnum primers have a little more ooomph, adding about 75 FPS if I recall. That could definitely open things up. I'll have to start keeping an eye out for the BR primers.
@@Halfmilesniper You really don’t need the magnum primer till you hit 60 grains of powder. The BR primer is more precise and made with a tighter tolerance in the run out.
@@forrestebert5276 true, but I was expecting a bit more velocity jump...I just had to experiment a little since I had the primers. I do want to get some BR primers in the near future,
@Halfmilesniper Probably with deciding to flatten a tip is how much to take off before going too far 😂 1/64 is different than 1/32 or 1/16. Not quite like a roundnose 158gr 38 Special being filed 😂.
Thank you for bringing me along. 👍👋👋🤝
Thanks for coming along, I really do appreciate it!
@@Halfmilesniper I know you do unlike other individuals. That’s why I watch your content
I kept wondering what these A-tips would do, very spendy! Thanks Halfmile

👍👍 Thanks Halfmile, some pretty good groups.
Thanks, and the numbers were pretty solid too.
@@Halfmilesniper yeah the numbers were really good.👍

Thanks, will do!
dang it, the target camera is my favorite part of your videos.
Very consistent loads for sure Halfmile not bad at all buddy
They were definitely very consistent weren't they Randle?
Respectable result. Thank you. Be safe & enjoy.
Thanks. I wish I would have just relaxed my grip from the get go...I think that would have been a heck of a group.
Numbers & accuracy with the standard primer really looked good. Hope your heel issue is better cause I can imagine with all that walking how bad that foot was hurting. Appreciate all the info you give us. 🙏👍🎯🇺🇸
My heal is slowly improving. Humping up and down and up and down the range sure did take a toll though.
The ES and SD looked pretty good.
What really surprised me was how bad that table wobbled with that horrendous recoil😂😂. How's the shoulder? 👍💥 @@Halfmilesniper
@@billdye3530 shoulder is doing great...that PT they put me through did the trick, hopefully well enough to prevent any further tearing and to maybe promote healing those tendons.
@Halfmilesniper You ever notice Therapists always have a big grin when they put you through pain 😁 😱 Psychological Instability.

No more handshake grip! 🤓 lol! Not too shabby my man! 👊🏻👍🏻

@@Halfmilesniper Indeed you did! 🫵🏻
@@Halfmilesniper Well done! 👍🏻
I think you will really like the 156 gr Bergers. They have done very well outta my 6.5x300 wby. Maybe not - you know how it goes - good luck!

Great speed on your reloads, hit that fly on you target I’ll send you one of my challenge coins😜
At first through the scope I thought I had two bullet holes...then one moved, lol.
I watched , thumbs up but apparently for got to comment.
LOL...I hate when that happens...thanks Charles, I appreciate you watching.
I got a couple new thundersticks coming soon
Nice...I've been thinking of getting a different rifle but just can't decide what I want to do...yet.
I usually stop at a Chinese restaurant on the way to the range and pick up a coolie to set my targets so I can keep my heart rate down.
LOL...made me think of that picture of the PRC Army guy sitting in a chair holding the rifle target overhead, lol.
Are the a-tips still aluminum? I think they need to market them better
The silver tips and gold dots had/have a colt following
I do believe they are still aluminum...they sure look like it. I agree, they could have been/should have been marketed better.

Halfmile hey
Howdy.
What surpressor is that and do you like it?
The suppressor is a ThunderBeast Ultra 7 .30 cal can. I love it. It only weighs about 9 ounces, it's made from titanium and ultra light.
📌🔨🎯
Hey there bfox, appreciate you watching.
@Halfmilesniper thanks for the great video 😁
@@bfox87 Thanks!
I don’t think it was your loads with the magnum primer it’s the primers. Try CCI BR2 primers it just may tighten your groups up? 🤔
You could be right, those magnum primers have a little more ooomph, adding about 75 FPS if I recall. That could definitely open things up. I'll have to start keeping an eye out for the BR primers.

This will be interesting. Just read where they discovered the slightly flat tip stabilizes more than the pointed tip on A tip. 🤔 Oct.- Shooting Times
I seem to remember reading something similar kind of recently but darned if I can remember where I saw that.
@Halfmilesniper Oct. Shooting Times under The Reloader Lane Pearce pge 24. Interesting hi-tec info.
@@billdye3530 I'll have to look that up...still can't remember where I read or heard about the flat tip stabilizing better...hmmm
@Halfmilesniper Probably with deciding to flatten a tip is how much to take off before going too far 😂 1/64 is different than 1/32 or 1/16. Not quite like a roundnose 158gr 38 Special being filed 😂.
@@billdye3530 those F Class fellows do that bullet pointing thing...they have it down to a science as well.
