If you can dump 15/16 rounds of 10mm into a charging bear, I personally believe I can do that more accurately than I can dump 5 rounds accurately out of my 460ES. I do know that I personally am faster and more accurate with my G40 than I can my 460es. Also think about how fast you can reload...

Do you have an adjustable gas block by chance?

No reason at all to use a barrel nut in this scenario. Get the barrel shouldered to your Origin. I have rebarreled Savage actions and had my smith shoulder the replacements and do away with the barrel nut. Even if you want to switch barrel it is far easier to spin on a shouldered barrel than...

Go up slow. LC brass is thicker than 223 Rem brass so it will have a lower case capacity. ( Currently seeing this first hand in a 308 gasser) This might yield a bit slower velocities but should still allow you get to a working load. Watch your cases and primers as you load up.

I have seen 8208 spike pressure when nearing max loads with bolt guns. Go up slow and find the sweet spot. Look at you cases and primers for signs up pressure before you near max load. What case are you using? Case volume is a factor.

I only have front loader experience with TC but from what I have read and observed they were the gold standard with Knight at the time being the largest competitor. I have heard that the Compass overall shot better than it ever should have for the money but never shot one to know first hand.

Ronws: I think that the firearm line is coming 2025 so I would anticipate announcements to follow soon. nagantguy: I missed out on the contender, and largely regret not getting an Encore when I had the chance. That said I have a TC Black Diamond that holds a lot of special memories afield...

I think I have close to 10 sets of Seekins (or Vortex PRM same thing) no issues with any of them.

Gregg Ritz from Huntmasters TV / Wild Communications is leading a "group" that has acquired TC Arms from Smith and Wesson. Prior to the 06 purchase by S&W they had a great smoke stick (My TC Omega is a tack driver for a smoke pole). Ritz was a former CEO of TC which makes me wonder if he...

I have seen the same thing with 8208 in bolt guns spiking pressure up quickly. To avoid brass getting chewed up I try to stay off the top end if I can find something that will shoot lower. Note edited: I try to avoid max loads on gas guns.

It is a steel Proof. Just plug and play and verified it was good with a no-go and go gauge.

Decided to pull out my 308 gas gun and get some more time behind it. I put it together in 2017 and have not shot it much. Specs Below. Initially I ended up shooting 155 ELD-Ms over RE-15. My supply of RE-15 is gone now and I haven't be able to resupply. That said I have Varget and 8208 on...

Hornady list 1-10 twist as minimum for the 225 ELD-M. I bet Seekins has done their homework.

I'd check Seekins precision out.

I added the sims until I got the results I wanted. I think in total I tried 3 different shim stacks and landed at the longest option. This was after measuring the action with a depth gauge. Not sure if the 457 uses the same shim stack as the 455 though.
