Rainier Ultramatch Mod2 .223

Really leaning towards buying a 20” ultramatch for a new precision AR15 build seeing as they are in stock and $400 seems lIke an ok price if they live up to higher end performance. I’m looking for 2 things:

1. Does anybody feel strongly about recommending something else for similar price?

2. Does anybody have a discount code for Rainier? I see their were a bunch of 10% off codes in the past but haven’t found an active one.

Thanks

First KRG Bravo

I was planning on ordering from Mcmillan but the 8 month wait was a no-go for me.

So, I ordered my first KRG Bravo lefty. I was suprised to discover that the thumb screw for the cheek riser is not flipped to the left side. It forces the user to go at least 1.25"to prevent the thumb screw from stabbing your face. It seems kinda silly for them not to move it.

I also had to add a relief cut to the picatinney rail in the front as the covered forend would not fit under it.

Lasty, I had to relief cut the inside of the trigger well so that the safety would not rub. All in all nothing hard and explains why they are so much less expensive. I have yet to shoot with it since I am awaiting a couple more pieces.

338 Norma Loads
10/20/2014 Last edited 10/21/2014 by midgetorama

I am shooting a 9.5 twist Bartlein that finishes at 26".

With a 300 grain SMK I am getting slight ejector marks with 85.0 grains of IMR 7828 SSC and a CCI250 with Norma brass. Velocity is only 2715 fps.

The best accuracy with this bullet, powder, primer combo is 82.5 grains at 2632 fps. Single digit ES.

I am seating the bullet with a 0.025" jump.

I was expecting better velocity. I may try Retumbo eventually.

I have a good buddy that is using us869 in his 300rum pushing 230s. Ive thought about it, but what he is running into is a lot of carbon buildup, carbon ring.

If a guy is looking for a powder, definitely give rl33 a shot. Ive ran some of it and it gives excellent velocities.

300grn berger otm.
215mag
2863fps 26" barrel
3.725" coal - single load.
Es 14.22

This gave me a 0.103" center to center group at 100yds.

I did a quick velocity check prior to loading for groups.
1. 95.0grn-2738fps
2. 96.0grn-2788
3. 97.0grn-2732 - velocity dip.
4. 98.0grn-2861
5. 99.0grn-2899 - hard bolt lift

I shot these 5 rounds at 300yds and the resulting group was 2".

It'll fit...

I know it seems like a lot, but the density of the RL33 is higher then say H1000 where you'd have a hell of a time with 90grns.

89.0 gr of H-1000 with 300gr Berger OTM

3.602 Cartridge Length ... I'm a couple thousandths off the lands.

Averaging close to 2800 fps from 27" bbl.

5-shot groups were 1.125 @ 200 yards.

I managed one 3-shot group at 200y for 0.625" NOT sure I could reproduce it.



I'd strongly recommend Berger boolits across the board. My 6.5 CM loves them too. Super high ballistic coefficient on both calibers.



My Retumbo tests for 338NM were averaging 2715 fps.

brass life seems to be good. I'm not running a lot of the rl33. my main load is h1000 which i have previously listed on this page. but with RL33 a guy can get up there in velocity. Just giving the guys some insight. My numbers will vary from others.

Settled on 89gr of H1000 pushing a 300gr Berger. Shot it on a ridiculously hot day...occasional ejector swipe, primers look good, no sticky bolt. At 1071 yards it hits steel with authority.

15k off the lands
AVG 2809FPS, SD of 4.3, ES of 9

Also will note that for my barrel the POI is the same for both 88gr and 89gr of H1000.

Actor Michael Madsen Dead at 67

Rest in peace, tough guy. Condolences to his family and friends.

Quentin Tarantino's favorite character actor Michael Madsen is dead from cardiac arrest at the age of 67. In heaven or hell, he'll be partying with his buddy Tom Sizemore.

SOLD Bartlein .338 1.35" Blank Gain Twist 34"

Sold pending funds.

I have a Bartlein barrel blank up for sale. It's a custom contour, similar to a heavy palma with 0.1" added to all diameters with a longer 5.5" shank and a 34" finish length. The shank is a 1.35" diameter. It is a gain twist, starting at 1 in 8.75 and ending at 8. It is also 400 MOD BB steel. Perfect barrel for a 33XC, 338 Enabler, 338 LM IMP, etc. The additional length, material, gain twist and diameter made it pricey. Price is $850 shipped in conus.

I just realized something you all been asking for

Everyone always asks me to bring the Chat box back, and unfortunately it’s not something I would revisit in the forum unless it was secure and seamless which none of them are.

But on the Home page, the Hide TV page, the videos have a chat function as part of the video platform.

When Chris and I are live, we can see certain platforms when people ask questions. So a chat function is pretty common and TheHide.TV video have a comment feature that is chat based .

So while not the forum there is an option

Accessories Price drop X2 Vortex Impact 4000s

I have x2 Vortex impact 4000s for sale. Gently used, has box and documents and I believe one unused test target each. Both have functioned flawlessly, I just don’t have as much use for them at the moment. Both have their serial number written in blue pen on the housings so that I could ID which is which and match remotes without difficulty. Relatively new to this forum, tons of feedback on tacswap and arfcom under same username and happy to verify. Please reach out for more pictures and with any questions.
I’m asking 1100 shipped and insured for the last one
Interested in trading towards a Nightforce NX8 4-32 FFP in Mil XT or Mil C
