    Can't remove Muzzle Brake off of Ruger Gunsite

    I just purchased a Ruger Gunsite in 450 Bushmaster. I cannot remove the muzzle brake. I had the barrel clamped hard in a vise. Admittedly, it was between two 2x4s but clamped down very hard. Was putting plenty of torque on it w/ an open end wrench. Hard to estimate but would guess every...

    Thread Adaptor for Suppressor

    I just got a Ruger Gunsite in 450 Bushmaster which has a 11/16-25 threaded muzzle. All of my suppressors have a 5/8-24 thread. I am thinking about getting a 11/16 to 5/8 adaptor but am concerned about suppressor alignment. An adaptor would cost $25. Alternatively, if I would get a mount that...

    20 MOA Base for 450 Bushmaster Subsonic

    I just purchase a Ruger Gunsite in 450 Bushmaster for hunting deer in OH. Intend to shoot mostly subsonic rounds though it. The scope I will use for it gives me 15 mil up w/ a 0 moa base. This will let me get out to 400 yards. W/ a 20 MOA base I can get out to 500 yards. I don't think that...

    6.5CM - 147 ELD-M & 41.5 H4350 - Too Hot?

    I am loading 6.5CM - 147 ELD-M & 41.5 H4350 in Alpha SRP brass. Average velocity is 2784 FPS. Shooting out of a MPA PMRII w/ a ARC Coup De Grace action & a MPA 26" 1:8 barrel. About every tenth shot the bolt lift is tight (nothing too crazy) and I see minor ejector marks. Primer looks OK...

    450 Bushmaster Upper

    Thinking about getting a 450 Bushmaster upper. Are the cheap uppers (such as bear creek) OK or should I spend more for something like a RRA. Also, All the uppers I see have a 1:24 twist. Does anyone make a 1:16? Want a upper w/ a free float handguard & capable of shooting at a minute...

    Vortex 2-10 PST vs 1-10 Razor

    Looking for a scope that will occasionally used for hunting, but live mostly on my Sig 716 DMR. Considering a Vortex PST GenII 2-10 FFP, but should I consider the 1-10 Razor? I have both PSTs & Razors (in different magnifications) and no doubt the Razor is superior, but at twice the cost not...

    IDTS Dry Fire Questions

    From what I can tell the IDTS system allows you to focus close and get multiple targets (different sizes & distances) on their screen. I like that the target size (in moa) is known. I assume that the system does not tell you if you hit or miss and you have to rely on your ability to call your...

    POI Channge @100 Yards With a 'Similar' Load

    On my 6.5CM I changed from shooting: 140 gr. berger @ 2690 fps (2250 ft-lbs) to 147 gr. ELD-M @2784 (2530 ft-lbs) At 100 yards the 147 gr. load hits almost 1 moa higher than the 140 gr. load. Is the increased energy causing more recoil /muzzle flip resulting in the upward shift in POI? The...

    Is bullet still stable/accurate after it goes subsonic?

    Is a bullet still stable/accurate after it goes subsonic? I know that my precision AR is a tack driver out to 800 yards, but falls off the face of a cliff at 900. Thinking that is because at 800 yards bullet is going transonic. So thinking about various cartridges, what is the max range? I...

    Maverick, Magnus RR or HuxWrx Flow 762 for PRS

    Want to get a suppressor for PRS shooting. Shooting a traditional PRS gun - heavy bolt action. Not so much a suppressor as much as something that will control muzzle flip so I can better spot my shots. Will not shoot with a brake which is what 90% of what PRS guys do. Already losing my...

    Cleaning JP Adjustable Gas Block?

    I have a precision AR w/ an adjustable JP gas block. I don't generally clean it. I thoroughly clean the barrel, bolt & action every 250 rounds or so but not the gas block. Should I? If so, what is the proper way.

    Headspace Length Variation on Sig 716 DMR

    Just measured the headspace length on cases fired by my Sig 716 DMR. The brass is R-P four time fired brass. The headspace length varied from 1.627" to 1,631" for brass coming out of the same rifle. Why is there so much variation?

    Alpha Brass - Shorter than min case length

    I just shot some Eagle Eye ammo in 6.5CM that I bought primarily for the brass. After sizing my cases I measured the case length and all the cases were between 1.904" & 1.907". The minimum case length (i.e. trim length) for 6.5 CM is 1.910". Not terribly undersize but all of the cases were...
