Anybody go from AI OEM 308 Brake to APA FBIII, Area 419 or others? Was it worth it? Thanks,

I noticed that out of 250 pieces of 6.5x47 brass about 10 look like the pic below, which look to be case head separation issue. Only time I've ever had case head separation was with a 1xLC brass shot out of an AR-14 where the case actually separated. Primer pockets have always went out 1st...

Anyone has experience with JP brass? I didn't even know JP had their own brass available. Is it comparable with Hornady or better/worse? It's on special now 40% off so 500ct 6.5CM is $210. If it's at least as good as Hornady I might pick up 500 for my 6.5semi to try it out.

I wanted to practice some positional shooting so I loaded some random 260 rounds for my AT. The brass was lapua from 2013 when I had a 260 savage and first started reloading with who knows how many firings on them. Never been annealed. Very loose primer pockets and are ready to be trashed. All I...

I'm in the market for an inexpensive rangefinder and I don't need any ballistic solvers. Just looking for a simple rangefinder. I was set on Leica 2400R until I noticed that laser beam divergence is 0.5x2.5 vs 0.5x1.2 for 2700B. How much of a real world difference would that extra 1.3 of...

Is anyone else having feeding issues with AI and 6.5x47s? I've tried four different mags and also tried adjusting the lips of the mags but I'm still having issues on my AT. It either double feeds, or the last round pops off when I insert the mag. This happens probably 20% of the time and it...

I decided to complicate my life and got the 21st century concentricity gauge and need your advice/opinion. Based on the 2 videos below is it safe to assume that the runout of the round is about 0.001 (TIR/2)? Is measuring at the neck and at ogive the best way to go?

I started annealing with salt bath method few weeks ago and ran some annealed vs not annealed tests over the weekend with identical loads. None of the brass (all Lapua) has ever been annealed before the test. I haven't kept track of number of firings but 260 has to be around 15 . Primer pockets...

Just got the elite iron spigot mount for AIAT ($100). It's a very nice mount that locks in solid. No movement whatsoever unlike the Atlas or the Big Dog although if you put some skateboard tape on atlas/big dog they dont move either. Another plus is that the elite mounts the bipod closer to the...

I got the BR salt bath annealing kit today and annealed some brass following the directions provided. Below are some pics of what the annealed brass looks like. The middle ones are factory Lapua 260 and 308. The factory 260 annealing goes down further than my annealed brass and so does the...

Anyone know the part# for the rail in the pic? How does it actually get installed? Is there a seperate piece that goes on the bottom? Can it be installed on both sides? I'm pretty sure it can but it never hurts to ask. Thanks

Has anyone shot the Berger match ammo in 308, 260 or 6.5CM? How do they compare to Prime, Hornady or Federal match ammo? The 140gr hybrid targets are priced about $25-26/20 so $1.30/per and supposedly use Lapua brass. Sounds too good to be true. Just the brass and the bullet alone costs more...

Got my RRS BAT-AT2(updated) plate today and figured to post some pics in case someone needs them.  Compared to BAI-AT You can move the bipod closer to cg with BAI-AT but obviously with BAI-AT2 you can slide the bipod all the way forward. Also u cant really use the RRS barricade stop with...

Does anyone make a AIAW magazine holder/pouch that will work with Safariland ELS? I didn't have any luck finding one. I've been using the ELS for 3 gun matches for few years and it's a very convenient system to use. If possible I would like to use ELS for rifle mathces as well.

I have a Savage 12LRP in 260Rem with Bartlein med. palma barrel that has less than 800rounds and shoots great but would like to re-barrel the the 12LRP to a 223 for training/fun. If possible, I would like to have the 260 barrel from the savage (large shank) spun for an AI AT. Does anyone know...

I have RRS BAI-AT rail as shown on my AT and would like to add the HRD Gear 9" to get rid of the Big Dog spigot mount to save some weight and to be able to move/slide the bipod faster and more easily . The HRD rail will extend around 5" beyond the chassis. Does anyone have this setup or know...

My ZP5 5-25 looks like this at 5x. The ring disappears on 5.2x or 5.3x. Is this what other ZP5 owners experiencence as well? I'm not sure if it's even tunneling. It's a clear ring vs what S&B tunneling looks like. Hard to take a good pic with a phone.

I got couple of pms re the turrets on Minox ZP5 so I figured I'll just post a video of it. I got it about a month ago so it's the latest model. The only other scope I had at hand to compare the ZP5 with was a Burris XTRII 5-25. Not really a fair comparison but that's all I had.

I've been developing some loads with 130ELD and 139Scenar for my AIAT 6.5x47 and need some advice with which bullet to go with. Target was at 200yds and the total # of shots are 17 (2 groups of 6 and 1 group of 5). The numbers are average of the 17shots The ELD grouped better but 139S has...

Anyone has a pic of AI AT with 1.5" mount or rings? Thanks
