Pretty sure you find that just by removing the IR you cannot circumnavigate the rules around NV on public land. Its still a NV device.

Overall it's good to see this being talked about, even if it's a bit late. Part of the problem is we have seen a decade or more of promoting LR for a number of reasons, with little to no recognition...

Watched the clip. A wee bit "click baity" for my liking, sorta over simplified. I don't recall my longest shot on game but I know I've passed up several memorable animals at 360M and less. I do...

The key is to actually hunt, even in the height of WARO they didn't get every deer, let alone every stag, all this pissing and moaning about WARO says more about you as a hunter than you'd think . . .

Nothing wrong with the Lee trimmers. They were the first devices I used when starting out. Would always recommend them to beginners. I still use mine to trim my Hornet cases as I cannot be faffed...
