Sagi Sleek flying bullets, improved cartridge design and firearms held to strict CNC tolerance contribute to any new long-distance shooting records, but there is more involved than just the latest and greatest.

The critical role it plays is undeniable, although it can be particularly confusing for AR-15 owners interested in maximizing […]
