Question on the AI PRS - has magazine adapters to use .308 in the long action. Anyone have experience with using and AI mag adapter? Any issues? Thanks

They work fine, never heard of any issues with them. But if I were to do it again, I would buy the ASR mags. No need for the mag adapter any longer. But the 308/short action ASR mags are expensive and sometimes hard to get.

Yup. Hopefully only stitches. If you want 300WM performance then get a 300WM. Pushing the 308 to those pressures is asinine in my opinion. Also plan on 300WM barrel life.

Rob, as you know I shot F TR at a high level for many years. We long throated and single shot 200’s in 30-32” barrelsas fast as we could get groups with. Bullets loaded so long it was hard to get them to stay in the case sometimes. Everyone I saw try to go over 2700 fps ended badly. 2600 was right around perfect. At mag length those loads would of grenaded lots of actions

I say go 300wm if you want 300 WM velocities. Now I long load 300wm with 200’s and run 2950 fps with no worries

The 88 ELD-M is what I shoot in my 223. A vicious 1 and 7 twist was purchased from Northland Shooters Supply. Their VLD chamber was suggested for heavier rounds. It worked perfectly and enabled the bullets to be sufficiently seated out to avoid interfering with the powder's capacity.

What sort of velocity are you seeing? what is your loaded round oal, and how long is your barrel?

I've got quantities of both Berger 105 VLD and 109 ELD-M. My question is how much jump to start with for initial load development? My initial thought is to start with about 0.025 junp and go from there, but I haven't shot either of these bullets before, so I'm all ears if anyone has real world experience they would care to share.

Bump!

I’ll take more later tonight

Thing is.... someone somewhere is going to do it!

I shoot a mile plus pretty regularly with my gen3 Razor. I have not seen a scope better or more reliable to get me to even think of changing. I teach a lot of classes and routinely do cold bore shots at a mile. Of course I only take the shot when I see the conditions are perfect. lol. The Gen3 adjustments have alas been spot on when paired with my Fury AB solution

Norris doesn't have the kill instinct in him. He is just not the dude. While being in the fastest car by a long shot, Piastri is a better driver. And I'm not even a fan of Piastri on how the whole loyalty to Alpine thing went down.

Depends.

@Frank Green I had an idea yesterday in the shower. What if we took a sized case with bullet, drilled and tapped it for a die grinder arbor (like a Hornady COAL case), coated the bullet in Iosso, and then spun it with the die grinder (120psi) to remove the carbon. Would that be ok?

You can buy USO FDN series or the XTR Pro I guess. Even then, I'm pretty sure they're getting lenses and reticles from OEMs outside the USA. Nightforce ATACRs based out of Idaho, but using parts from Japan, I think. Same with the Razor. Not sure about Leupold, but I suspect it's a lot of the same.

Ive been really impressed with my PWS x39 uppers in the accuracy department.

He should take his own advice.

What i really want to see is piastri destroy Norris. Next to George he's my least favorite driver by a large margin.

Same. I don't get too wrapped up in the personalities of drivers, but Norris really does seem like a whiny bitch. That and since all F1 media seems to be British and they are overly biased, I enjoy seeing the British drivers get beat.

That sounds like a chamber free bore issue more so than an ammo issue. With a SAAMI .183 freebore the factory ammo is about .040” off the lands, if I remember correctly. It’s definitely plenty far enough off to not be jammed into the lands and pull the bullet.

You either have a hell of a carbon ring built up or that change is short in freebore. How has it been cleaned? You know anyone who has an OAL gauge to check freebore?

And how did it perform on the first 100 rounds? Anything similar?

It’s really the only way to insure the chamber and throat is sized to YOUR cartridge.

More importantly, the VAT has nothing to do with the 39% claimed on the President's chart. We already know how it was calculated. Why are you trying to pretend that it was calculated some other way?

39% is not a tariff in the EU on imported American goods. Stop lying.
