After the frustration with the last AAC barrel, I broke down and ordered me a blank from ThirdGen and started hunting a local 'smith that I could trust to not fuck it up. I have to say, David Sink is outstanding to deal with and had my barreled action back to me in 3 weeks and was on vacation...

Got all my debit card could stand, figured I'd put the word out for the other 6.5 junkies out there. OFF20WEL14 will cut the pain a bit if you're ordering more than 300 of them

Been getting some weird fliers lately that I couldn't explain, tried reworking my go-to load by changing seating depth/powder charge/etc all to no avail. In the middle of this I started losing primer pockets on my RP brass (8x fired) so I had to switch over to WIN 243 brass and start my loads...

Stupid question most likely, but I'm going to ask this anyways. I have had to switch over to forming Winchester 243 brass into 260 since my RP brass is worn out. I had a great working load with 42gr R17 in the RP brass with 140's, so I backed down to 40gr in the newly formed 243 brass and...

Alright, so I recently had to scrap some of my 260 cases because the primer pockets finally went south. I'll be honest and admit that I'm a bit of a tightwad and am not going to spend $1 per case for Lapua when I get 8-10 pretty damn warm loadings out of RP brass. While I was tossing those in...

I've been itching for the last year to build me a rifle just for matches since my 260 is a dual purpose hunting/match gun. I mean, who doesn't want two LR capable rifles and a backup is always nice to have. I've got a donor action from an old 110, the only issue is that it's a long action (5.X"...

I was asked about this rifle in another thread, so I figured I'd throw this out as not to take that one off topic. I actually put this rifle together about a year back, but haven't shot it much due to work and a newborn son. I had Chad at LRI whack 4" off the end of the barrel and screw the tube...

Finally got around to beginning load development with my 20" 260 and 140gr Nosler Custom Competitions and I'd like some input from the hide as to whether or not I'm seeing this correctly. Load Specs: 1x fired RP brass, full prep Wolf Primers H4350 140gr NCC .005" from the lands I fired 3...

I've been itching for another bolt gun that didn't feel like I was swinging an 8' 2x4 for a while now. I already have a 20" 308, so I figured I'd do something in another caliber and decided on a 260 Rem after some soul searching (and a LOT of 'hide searching) I finally ended up with a 24" AAC...

Who else here besides myself is running an AR in a wildcat chambering? Mine: 6x45, 1/9 twist, Blackhole Weaponry 24" barrel Nothing too exotic, but 87gr Berger VLD's run 2850+/- and sub-half MOA .002" from the lands (still fine tuning this load). 87gr Hornady BTHP's will do 10 shots of...

I've been thinking of getting one of the extended mag boxes for my SPS Tactical 308 to be able to load closer to the lands and still feed from the magazine. I have a couple loads with VLD's I am working on, and the sweet spot I have found for the COL is too long for the factory box by a good...

Been screwing around, trying to get a good load for my SPS Tactical with 155gr A-Max's and Varget. I've went through about 80 rounds at 100 yards trying to tune them in to giving me a repeatable load. The first OCW I ran showed a node at 46.6gr, so I started playing with the seating depth and...

Wait a minute, let me get my fire suit and explain why I want to try this. My SPS Tactical has one of Remingtons notoriously big chambers and is extremely generous in the neck area. My fired cases measure .341", meaning my Winchester brass is expanding .010" in the neck during firing as...

I've finally decided to break down and invest in a bushing type neck sizing die for my 308. I've been using a run of the mill RCBS NS die, but would like a little more control over the neck tension. I use Winchester brass, loaded with 168 AMax's which gives me a loaded neck diameter of...

HOW TO INSTALL A HOME SECURITY SYSTEM 1. Go to a secondhand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots. 2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns & Ammo Magazine. 3. Put four giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines. 4. Leave a note on your door that...

I bedded my stock last night and popped the action out this morning. This was the first bedding job for me, so you can imagine how good I slept last night. It came out clean, and slick as glass, but it's thin. You can see the holes I drilled in the aluminum block through the bedding. Is this too...
