I have a load that I've been using for over a year. Hornady 123g SST, Nosler, CCI 400 primers and 28.2g of H335 at 2.255 COAL. Last time I used the chronograph was in January about 50f and they averaged 2455. Primers were flat but no piercing. Ran the chrono again to verify and build data but out of 60 fired cartridges I had 11 pierced primers and an starting to get extractor imprints on the cases. Yesterday was about 87f. Velocities in Jan averaged 2424 and yesterday average was 2510. Disassembled the gun and started checking things. BCG and 20" fluted barrel are Faxon. Found the firing pin stick out was .046" and it seems the spec is .028" to .036". Also, measured the bolt face setback and found its .140" for which the usual measurement is .136". I don't see how wear would change that measurement, probably machined that way. I removed the firing pin, took .011" off and reprofiled the ball end on the lathe. Ended up with .0345" of stick out and fired a primed case with no powder or projectile and it fires no problem. Ordering a new firing pin but need it to work for now. So, a lot going on there but what's the opinion on the change? I know I was up there on pressure but Am I just passing the pressure limit due to the temperature? I have no reference how temperature stable H335 is. Should I just lower the charge to where its back to 2425 or so average?

Just finished a rifle my Dad started
30 years ago. He had a Interarms Mark X action in 270 Win. He built the stock out of wood from our farm that he had dried 10 years earlier.
Curved metal checkered buttplate and grip cap. Found some Warne steel mounts (they were matte of course) shortened front mount and fluted the front just for looks. Polished and blued afterwards. Had to do the bottom metal again because it looked like it had been in a tool bag for 30 years. Found a pristine Leupold 3x9 gloss to finish it out. It still had grease in the barrel.
Been sitting unfinished because he lost some trigger parts. He's hit that stage so he passed it on to me this Bday to finish up. It's never leaving this family.

From the airport in the Dominican Republic...

I hate marxist shitbags as much as the next guy. But really... WTF?

We aren't at war with Venezuela... At least not militarily.

This isn't a strategic victory. It's a drunken fraternity stunt.

Who thought this was a good enough idea to give it the green light?

What you see is what you get. No weights, no extras. Actions screws ARE included.

Chassis was shot twice I think, no marks on it that I saw. Got it to be my RF trainer chassis but been collecting dust for too long.

Shipping and insurance include to the lower 48.

Thanks for looking.

Keeping scope and rings

FDE AXSR with all 3 bolts and all 3 magazines. 24” 6 Creed barrel from Mile High with 80 rounds on it, 27” AI 300 PRC barrel 40 rounds on it, and 30” 300 Norma done by Blue Mountain Precision with 50 rounds on it. Slight scuffs on rail from tripod head. Have no need in a LA since moving back to the south so will be getting another AXSA. $12.5k for package or will work out a trade for another AXSA (not green), AI AT, SR25 or other high end heavy gassers, or a mag bolt face AT/AX bolt.

I have 2 RPRs. One is a .308 and the other is a .338. I was reading an article about proper scope mounting and it said scope height over bore should be between 1.5 and 2.5 inches. Another article said 1.5-1.8 inches. Both of my rifle scopes are over 2.5. The .308 is 2.66 inches and the .338 is 2.9 inches. I read that the lower the scope is mounted the more accurate the shots will be at long range. Do I need to get new rings?

Good afternoon shooters,


I have up for grabs a new in the box Glock 17 Gen5 in OD green cerakote on the frame. It's not been shot, fondled, or otherwise jacked with. I have plenty of Gaston's creations, just letting this one go.

Going price shipped to your FFL is 400 flat, it's priced to move, but I will keep it before it goes lower; be sure that your FFL can accept from individuals. I'll get some photos up here in a bit.

As always, first "dibs" on the post is honored before any other arrangement. Feel free to message me any questions.

Payment is best taken as Zelle or Postal M.O.

Not sure who did this. But probably not a church-going member of the local Eagle's lodge.


Once they catch perp and set bail... can we get together and get this shitbag released to the custody of... say... The Bear Pit.

Which will naturally treat the sierra-bravo with the respect and decorum he deserves. Probably starting with flaying every inch of skin off his body and covering him with Red Devil Paint Stripper.

WTF.... What kind of fucking cowardly POS shoots a 90-year old? To steal his car.

The size 1 helmet goes to 23.5 and the size 2 helmet goes from 23. My head measures 23.25 with 1/8 hair. Anyone have preference on size choice through experience on which size would fit best for the long run. Thanks

Loaded up some 260 with Federal gold medal primers. The primers were from about 2018 but always kept in a sealed ammo box . Had about every third one not go ‘boom.’ I think I’m getting a decent primer strike and even attempted to fire one of the rounds a second time.. no joy. Is it common to have a ‘bad batch’ of primers or am I missing something? Thanks!

Selling my ZCO 527 MPCT1

Would like to sell with ZCO One piece mount 6mil slimline 400-0397. Scope has been a safe queen as to why I am selling it. Scope body and glass are perfect. Comes with all original packaging and accessories. Has the locking turret. Sun shade included.

Like new maybe a box or two through it. Believe it was called optifade camo. Just don't use enough to justify it. Like to sale but maybe interested in some optics trades. $1500 shipped

So with hunting season around the corner I reached into the safe and pulled out my pre-39 model 70 that belonged to my grandfather and wandered to the range. Simple rig, original walnut stock, steel butt plate, original dog bone barrel with original irons and front sight hood, bedded, 6X scope, 150 gr BT over IMR 4895 (actual IMR 4895 in the tin cans, still have a few left).

I fired my obligatory five rounds, collected the target, cleaned the rifle and cased it. Still shoots better than moa. That rifle has put meat on the table going on a century. Looking around at others on the range, one or two not having much success with their brandy new rigs I realized how perfectly satisfactory the old rig is.

Bottom line is no matter how much you reinvent the wheel, it's still a wheel.

Context:

Been shooting .308, which I absolutely love, but hardish to track and have tried various MB's and Suppressor for PRS. Got behind a 6CM for the first time and a warm fuzzy feeling washed over me as though I were back behind a .22, enjoying the uninterrupted view of impact as a gaggle of geese flew by.


After a bit of research, the GT seemed to make the most sense due to barrel life and I reload, however, sometimes it's nice to buy a hundred rounds and not worry about it (I have young kids, time is a constraint sometimes). Sooo

1. 6CM or the Gay Tigre?
2. Have an opportunity to purchase a lightly used 6CM Bergara Premier Competition. 200 < rounds. No problems/function, this style was just not for them.

It's chambered in 6CM and from my perspective a massive bang for the buck, considering the premier action, MPA and TT. The only thing I don't like about it (other than a few ppl's views on Bergara, never owned one and can't say) and the fact that I love Tikka, is the bolt throw. However, at 1900, maybe I actually love 90 degree throw now.

I want to upgrade, but I don't want to spend more than 2400 on the rifle, all in. So do I build a GT for that budget (if I even can) or does the benefit of everything you get with Bergara at that price make it a no brainer in 6CM?

Looking hard at Zeiss LRP S3 6-36. Any users out there?

Thoughts on Tract Toric UHD stuff? Big price difference between the two, but curious. I heard there was some relation to Nikon back in the day. Did they take over their tech or tooling?

Thanks!

Against my better judgement I’m going to get rid of a project rifle that I don’t need to start with.

Details are the following:
Kelbly BlackBear Tactical - SA, RH, 308 BF
6bra barrel 26” threaded 5/8”-24, unknown round count, unknown make, and unknown smith - basically just a fireform/place holder barrel
Xlr envy Chassis JV version with Ergo grip. (Needs buttpad) everything else is there.

Trigger hangar is on its way, but included in the price

Askin $1000 + Insurance cost. For anyone one that knows about these actions they are discontinued but are extremely nice and absolute tanks. Can’t buy an action for even this price, let alone the chassis. I have talked with Kelbly and they said they would support the action for its lifetime

It’s a flat bottom steel tactical action that takes AICS mags. Integral lug and integral rail, and one of the smoothest on the market.

Only trades are:
Bighorn origin/TL3 Steel light contour 6.5creed or 6.5prc barrel
Hunting oriented stock - KRG bravo, Manners w/ mini chassis, McMillan
