.308 Winchester

You're telling me Hornady brass is that good? I mean it's hornady.

It might be, I'm not discrediting you, I would just have a hard time believing that. And any inaccuracies or inconsistencies would leave me second guessing my choice of having mixed lots. 🤷🏽

It is for me. I only keep track of times fired. I have brass mixed up over the past 15 years I am using and single digit SDs and good accuracy.

Not necessarily on the brass being same lot. I have used Hornady brass over many lots of once fired factory and get single digit SDs. Brass prep is a good question though.

Most 'gun' state in the USA?

Leave europe(or anywhere) to get married in vegas? Am I the only one who thinks that’s weird?


Nevada is an atrocious state, please dont come here, nothing but rocks and rattlesnakes. On the gun front though, it’s pretty good. We lost face to face sales with the last governor, a dem, who lost his reelection bid to a republican (former sheriff of clark county/vegas). He’s been very pro 2a. Our legislature only convenes every other year, so potential bad things can only come at half speed. The state also swung red for this last presidential election. Moving in the right direction.

New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

. I literally could not get it to remove material from that expander.

No telling what RCBS uses in their expander ball?

I use the drill, emory cloth in 200, 400, and 800 grits. I can't say I have ever spent more than 15 minutes on an expander ball and not had to use a file.

Is the expander ball "Free spinning" on the shaft ?

I use Lee die sets for a reference.

You're trying to fix a problem by adding another one with this method.

If you use all same headstamp brass, like all hornady, it might give decent accuracy and numbers. However, if your goal is to reduce ES & SD as best as possible, you need it all to be from same lot.

Also, what's your brass prep like?

Barrels these days for a off the shelf build

Been a few years since I've done an AR build. Looking to do a 6.5 grendel or 6 arc for target and hunting.

Wondering what barrels for off the shelf builds people are using? WOA won't do a barrel off the grendel case. Which is what I originally was going to do. Right now I'm looking at a lilja, craddock RTR or rainer ultra match. Am I missing anyone that offers a great off the shelf barrel?

I had a criterion in 6.5 Grendel for a couple years and it didn't really impress me.

Thanks fellas.
I have 6 ARC barrels in 18 adn 20" that can ship within 10 business days. Fluting adds 3 more currently.

PVA Rock Creek sale - small quantities, smoking deal prices

How does the button barrel Rock compare to the Osprey PVAs or a proof? I like the price.
The Osprey is comparable performance to the top tier things like Benchmark's et al. The Rock cut rifled shop is in that mix.

These barrels are the OEM Shop at Rock and they're excellent. Most shooters, even most match shooters, cannot shoot the difference between the two Rock products. However if you were to put them on a BR rifle and go after a 5x5 you'd likely see one that shoots in the 0's and 1's while the other shoots in the 3's.

A LOT of people got a good view of just how good button barrels are, even ones that are not extensively lapped and handled with the thousands of prefits that we/PVA cut from Rock button products. The Rock button product is one of the reasons that I learned how much the bore control is important and why cut rifled and button rifled isn't the comparison that people should be concerned with over how well the drill/ream/pre-lap or hone process is handled in the blanking process.

Button vs. Cut Rifling: The marketing comparison that isn't what you think

Link to more info on AR10 barrels please 👍
May jump on one of these RC barrels, my Osprey has been awesome so far!!!
There's nothing on the website yet because we aren't taking orders for them and they're not released.

The AR10 barrels are going to be Osprey blanks just like we use for the bolt gun barrels, I'm finalizing port sizes and chamber specifics now to make sure we don't need further tweaks for reliability reasons.

Death Prediction

My dad was sure that he was going to die at 55. He even moved out of the bedroom and into the La-Z-Boy in the living room. I think he was looking forward to it.

On his 56th birthday, mom made him a birthday cake that said: "Aren't you pissed?"

He is 82 now, and still works outside more than most guys half his age.

***********

I feel that without an actual medical diagnosis of a terminal illness, that 'death premonition' is as random as anything. Maybe some get it right to within a year or two, but probably 20x that get it wrong.

I can pickup once fired brass very cheaply.

Review: ZCO 840 versus March 5-42x PRS Edition

Turrets, reticle, and size are just fkn amazing on this thing! Zero stop is fun too.
Also noticed the eye box as mentioned, and had to set it further rear than my ZCO or K540 which for me is actually a bonus because I run a very short LOP. No mid cantilever mount required!! After spending several hours behind it yesterday I noticed it exactly zero times. 3 matches over the next 3 weeks and really looking forward to using the March.
@TargetTactician, I feel your comparison is spot on, and one of the reasons I made the purchase…
Just can’t seem to get over the damn turrets..! It’s like when you finally get that perfect trigger setting..
