Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

I went out to try the new PBR I recently bought on gunbroker. To my surprise, it's my smoothest cycling bolt. It beats my other SPRs and m70s.

I took some shit ammo just to see how it would do with it and a box of FGMM 168s. I guess it's no surprise, the FGMM shot sub half haha.

Group is on the left edge in the middle. I really wanted to re-barrel to a 22GT and use it for tx deer. But after seeing that, it's kinda difficult to want to take this barrel off now.

Accessories FREE stuff clean out!

Sorry it took a bit longer than anticipated but the free post is here. Just a couple of rules that I ask:

1) you cover shipping. Apple Pay is preferred but can take cashapp and a strong maybe on Venmo. Otherwise USPS MO or cash.
2) give me a little lenience on shipping time. I try to get it out quickly but sometimes work screws that up.
3) pass it on. Donate to a charity, give to church, or anything you give me over the shipping cost will go to a fellow soldiers kid who wants to go to a summer camp for disabled kids (lower leg prosthetic).
4) limit yourself to one or two items so others can get a chance as well.

1) (3) 15-round Glock 19 Glock mags - CLAIMED
2) unknown single point Multicam sling - CLAIMED
3) MTM and other ammo holders. 308 and up for calibers - CLAIMED
4) magpul mlok AFG black - CLAIMED
5) Caldwell brass catcher - CLAIMED
6) lungpunch 50 BMG ammo binder - CLAIMED
7) (4) gun locks with keys
8) Blackhawk OWB beretta 92/96 non-railed holster - CLAIMED
9) Sig p365 IWB holster. Open end so it should be able to take the longer slides. - CLAIMED
10) de santis IWB leather holster. I think I briefly had it for a shield or LC9
11) giraud triway trimmer. Too big for 223 but doesn’t seem to fit 308 or creed so not sure what it’s for. - CLAIMED
12) What I believe are PRVI 308 168gr HPBT pulls. Had them for years and years. Probably a couple hundred. - CLAIMED
13) vortex sunshade and defender caps. Pretty sure it came off a PST or a venom
14) Lee 260 rem dies. Two seaters. Also comes with a 308 sizing die and crimp die.

More will be uploaded later.

Sour Dough Balistics

I have a plan now.

You get or make a starter.
Find out how long it takes to get it proofed, risen to full bubbly power.
Mine is about 2 hrs.

You can start faster if you use the second hour to let your flour and water mix and rest (autoliase) messy but works.

Iether way get that loaf mixed and stretched around ready for bulk proof in the fridge overnight.

No use playing with and staring at it all day you could be doing something else.

When you pull it out after 12 hrs it is going to be ready to fold and put to final shape then rise ready for the pan I'll wag 2 hours. Another short rise 45 minutes to an hour and bake.

I treat it like a brisket from now on.
Start 24 hours from when you want to eat and there won't be many times it dont make it unless your house is cold and then use the oven cooking light to take up that slack.

Also just found out internal wellness temperature is about 205 to 210 degrees Fahrenheit.

I just at the moment have the nagging self sealing slash problem but works ok for sandwich loaf purposes.

I have a post about equipment back in here somewhere, you don't have to spend money for a Prometheus flour dropper.

I don't even have a bread basket to rise in (banotin).

Maggie’s What's Your View II

Lazy day, and it’s everything I hoped it would be!

Slept in and watched some F1… was gonna prep and paint some cam covers for my truck’s new motor, but after spending almost 10 full minutes sweating my balls off painting some 30-round hate sticks for my PCC, decided to come back in and just hang out with my daughter who’s home from school for the summer.

Need advice - 6 ARC bolt action load data for 103-108 gr bullets

*Load at your own risk*

Goal achieved. Both loads capable to 1000+ yds, very mild recoil, efficient, temp stable, groups well.

Many thanks to the Little Crow Gunworks YouTube videos on reloading.

I think that this is similar to the journey Frank is on with his podcast but with factory ammo. I had the pleasure of learning from him at Treadproof and brought up the idea of a bolt gun in 6 ARC as it was coming online in 2021, but I am a poor so it took a while to get it built up and load developed.

Anyways, here are the groups and data.
Temp 59F, Humidity 63%, 29.93 mm Hg
1. XBR 27.5gr, Hornady 103 ELDX, Alpha brass, CCI 450 SRP, .010” off lands, minimal crunch with seating
2. XBR 27.0gr, Hornady 105 Aeromatch, Alpha brass, CCI 450 SRP, .010” off lands, no crunch with seating

Minimal cratering, no shiny spots, easy bolt lift.

YMMV and happy shooting!
