Firearms Altus Built Defiance Deviant 300 PRC

ReconFister
Gun was built and assembled by Altus. Only has 80rds on the complete gun. Perfect condition.

-Defiance Deviant Black Nitride Action (Altus serial #)
- 26” Bartlein Heavy Palma Barrel with a 1/9 twist and 5/8x24 threads
- Barrel was cut, chambered and installed by Altus
- Cerakoted graphite black by Altus
- MDT ACC Premier Chassis (Gen 1)
- Triggertech Diamond single stage
- SilencerCo ASR muzzle brake

I’d prefer to keep the chassis and sell the complete BA only but I’ll give the option to any buyer should they want it all together.

$2500 shipped for BA with TT and ASR
$3200 shipped complete with chassis

- Not interested in selling barrel separate from the action, but I can knock off $200 if you don’t want the trigger and the ASR.

- Would trade for a nicely built 6.8 SPCll AR platform. Nothing crazy nice, no more than $1k trade value please. This is just a 100 yard deer stand gun for my old man to wack some pigs with me this winter. The balance of cash on top would still have to be covered by the buyer.

Geissele GFR Maritime Reconnaissance 6mm arc write up and review

Id be nice if Geissele started selling 6 ARC CHF barrels. Anyone know if/when that’s going to happen?

It's pretty unlikely as the barrels they have use a proprietary barrel extension for a proprietary bolt and given the enlongated extension requires a proprietary upper and barrel nut (the Mk16 rail body might be the same but not sure).

They could do a 6ARC barrel to normal AR barrel specs, but why go through all this trouble just to put out another basic 6ARC barrel along side your secret sauce upper/barrel/gun?

I doubt they would put out just part of the proprietary system and have people fuck it up and go crying on the net. That said, I wouldn't see any harm in selling the complete upper as the only thing to screw up there would be the buffer/spring...and maybe to them that is a bit too much leeway as well.

They kinda lost me before the even started, rcbs is great for new shooters and has been around for awhile but why they picked them over another reloading supply company like widden, L.E Wilson, or shit even Redding is beyond me. They should have ironed out the reloading way beforehand if they even wanted to be remotely successful at launch. I get it that they are trying to push the envelope on innovation but that’s what you do testing in a lab for, you don’t release it unfinished for the market. If you’re going to innovate actually innovate not give a half assed copy of 10 other cartridges that have existed for years with three of them being factory available.
That’s the last of my rant.

You may want to try n570 in your 7-300 prc the case volume is plenty large enough to have near or at 100% burn rates and have a good fill %. Also the reason I chose to make the example of the BC being the same as the 28 nos is just because it’s factory available and it’s more likely for new shooters and people who don’t care about reloading to look at it. I personally want a 6-6.5 prc, I’ve heard other people call it the 6 prc the performance is frightening even with the heaviest 6mm bullets. I’m just a huge 6mm fan.

I think N570 (or one of the unobtanium RL powders) is the ticket as well if you're chasing max velocity. That would be my first powder recommendation to a guy following my footsteps, or going to a 28 Noser/Sherman.

I got an unopened 8lb keg of N568 for a steal (same for a 500ct box of 195s), so I just went with that. Honestly, 3K FPS and 2/3 MOA accuracy was my target goal. Anything better would have been great, but I made my target goal.

I'm kind of jones'ing to do a 6.5-7PRC next. It would just be an optimization of the .264 Win Mag IMO.

7mm Backcountry 195gr Berger

diggler1833
I actually didn't realize how many dudes were into the big 7mms until I posted a (crappy) video of my ramblings on my cartridge choice.

There are some really solid ,284 options out there on the table for hunters. A 7mm/195 Berger EOL at 3K FPS has 28 inches LESS drop and only 2 inches more drift than a big 30cal/245 Berger at 2900 FPS... at 1,500 yards. Obviously, that is even beyond what I think most dudes who like to stretch the range of hunting shots would take. Velocity for reliable expansion (>2K FPS) is the same at about 1,050 yards.

The biggest trade-off, is that the 7s will recoil about 25% less in this matchup... but at a cost of about 25% less barrel life.

I just got myself a triggercam last weekend. Going to be trying it out at White Oak this coming Saturday. Good shootin in Navasota!

Thanks man, I feel like I'm stuck in the 80% hit rate. Something has got to change for me to get better. I study the videos looking for clues on how to do that and haven't found the secret sauce just yet.
The trigger cam really shows you what's going on and records it. I can't remember every stage and its helped me a lot.

I’m curious how they will handle a group of darker than beige men catching and raping those hot female cops out jogging. Will they jog at night? In leggings and halter tops? Will she have a rape kit done on her before she gives a press conference apologizing for crying and screaming as she was repeatedly violated?
I don’t believe western society is worth saving. These people are criminally stupid.

Reloading Application to Document the Reloading Process

diggler1833
Man, I just use a piece of masking tape on the ammo box - marked with the part of the process I last completed. I am woefully lacking on my data recording. :D

Since my brass prep is the same for every cartridge I load for, there are no special steps that I might miss.

*****

I'd bet that if you polled 100 reloaders here, you'd find 90 different processes in case preparation. So whatever app designed would need to have some significant flexibility built into it.

-Bonus that out of those 90 different processes, 88 think that everyone else is stupid and doing it wrong...

Rcbs stated they have been working with the BC since the early stages of the project but haven’t been able to make dies that can resize without a good number of passes. I think it will be a long time before aftermarket support is available for it. IMO if people want 7bc performance just get a 28 nosler, it’s a factory ammo available cartridge with good aftermarket support, I’ve been having a lot of arguments on YT about it. Not to throw shade at the wildcats but not everyone especially new shooters are willing or able to figure them out.

Unfortunately, you lost me at RCBS. As a guy who grew up with that brand, it was sad to see their quality drop off... but I've had issues with 3 of my last 5 RCBS die sets. I have since switched to Redding and Forester. I should have done it earlier.

I second your support for the 28 Nosler. I did the 7-300PRC as it was the 'easy button' of things you might call a wildcat. I bet you could get another 50 FPS out of the 28 Nosler. Up until recently though, you were stuck with Nosler brass. Not the case anymore (pun intended).

I'm at 3,001 FPS out of my 7-300 and the 195gr Berger with a 27" barrel. Takes me 79.0gr N568 to get there. At 80.0 I ran into some pretty serious ejector swipes. Switching to a different powder might get me more speed, but I've got the widest acceptable accuracy window with this cartridge/bullet/powder/barrel combo of anything I've ever owned.

If a guy wanted the most horsepower, I'd still think that the 28 Sherman Mag might be the king. ADG makes brass for it now too... but it is really 30 SM brass that you have to neck down and fireform (need to read the fine print at the bottom for that one).
