    6 CM & 108 ELD Velocity - Barrel Length

    I haven’t tried the UM, but I did order 500 of the GAP 109 ELDMs. According to Form they act just like other ELDMs terminally on game, but have a better BC since they are basically A-Tips with polymer instead of aluminum tips.

    Nice, what powder?

    6 CM & 108 ELD Velocity - Barrel Length

    Or you can look at rifleshooter.com for real world data to pull from. You can see that the 6mm looses a bit more than the traditional 25 FPS per inch in the shorter lengths, but like I said above, even at 16” it’s still plenty effective out to 500 yards with 2000FPS at impact...

    6 CM & 108 ELD Velocity - Barrel Length

    The 4th post in on this thread Weldor said “My Seekins Element 21" suppressed with Hornady factory ELD-X 103 gr. is 2883 from my Labradar.” That would give you a 2000 FPS impact velocity out to 675 yards. He was using ELDX but I imagine the ELDM is close.

    6 CM & 108 ELD Velocity - Barrel Length

    That takes you out to 800 yards with 2000 FPS impact. I’m trying to be honest with myself, knowing that a 16” barrel out to 500 yards is plenty for my current short and handy build, but It’s tempting to let design creep sneak in, and add a few more inches of barrel “just in case”. It takes...

    6 CM & 108 ELD Velocity - Barrel Length

    Depending how far you’re comfortable letting your daughter shoot, I wouldn’t be afraid of going for a shorter barrel with a can. Given the real world velocities above I calculated the following ballistics with the 108 ELDM at 5000’ elevation: 16” = 2660 muzzle velocity gives 2000 FPS impact at...

    6 CM & 108 ELD Velocity - Barrel Length

    @Sadler Any regrets/lessons learned from going with the 16” 6CM? @wind gypsy Any regrets going 18” vs 16”?

    Silencerco Scythe TI review

    I just saw they released a black version. I called SiCo and Silencer Shop to ask if it’s DLC or cerakote. It’s ceramic paint. Wish it was DLC.

    Cutting Weight on a Sig Cross

    Including the optic I was able to get mine down to 6lb 1oz with the barrel fluting and a slightly flexy polymer airsoft stock that I milled a slot in for the bolt to slide. It weighs 5.5lb without the microprism optic. The Sig fore grip adds 3oz to that. Still looking for a better optic and a...

    Sightron S6 1-6x24 mm LRT Q&A

    I’m curious about some of the other Sightron stuff now. Any experience with the Sightron S1 1.75-5x32mm G2? I’m wondering if it’s any good, or if it’s just a rebranded Vortex Diamondback 1.75-5x32. What else is there in lightweight/large FOV category? Certainly not the SFWA 2.5-10, that unobtanium.

    Cutting Weight on a Sig Cross

    I installed his mag release, much better than factory. I can release the mag one handed now, without reaching inside the trigger guard. I also just had my barrel fluted, which shaved 4.4oz.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    A cut up shower shoe and some self stick bandage wrap makes a nice cheek riser for the Kidon stock. Used tin snips to rough cut the foam and an angle grinder to smooth and shape it.

    Burris FF 3-9x40mm Drop Eval Q&A

    Makes sense why you prefer the NF. Would you ever opt for the 6 bolt instead of the 4 bolt NF rings, or is it overkill? What are your thoughts on the ARC M-Brace rings vs the NF?
