Of what little testing I could find published online comparing primers, if what we're concerned with is SD/ES, I see what looks like to me, the same flaw in all tests— the powder charge is the same...

The difference in primers does change the average muzzle velocity from primer to primer, which should put it into a different node, which essentially invalidates the test results IMO.

Maybe I'm wrong, but if you guys can get single digit SD with whatever primer consistently, and there's a good consensus, then it probably isn't worth testing. So vote away.

Consistent: Minimum sample size of 5rnds, and you would expect to see this result on the next 5 shot string more than half the time?

I was in bed with a blind girl last night and she said that I had the biggest 'member' she had ever laid her hands on.
I said "You're pulling my leg."

I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice!!
At least I presume she was poor – she only had $1.20 in her purse.

My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker.
Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend, yet.

A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back.
He says what do you expect? You're in a wheel chair.

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature.
She said she would like to come back as a cow.
I said, "You're obviously not listening."

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst.
So, I went back to the thrift shop and got all of her clothes back.

At the Senior Citizens Center they had a contest the other day. I lost by one point:
The question was: Where do women mostly have curly hair?
Apparently the correct answer was Africa.

There's a new Muslim clothing shop opened in our shopping center, but I've been banned from it after asking to look at some of the new bomber jackets.

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools.

Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on Facebook.
I said, "I can't wait for the new 911 to arrive!"
Next thing I know 4,000 Muslims have added me as a friend.

The Red Cross have just knocked at my door and asked if I could help towards the floods in Pakistan.
I said I would love to, but our garden hose only reaches the driveway.

Hey everyone, I’ve been researching, and need some advice. I’m going to get a new .22, I’m just having trouble deciding. It will NOT be a voodoo or Curtis. Nothing against them, it’s just not in the budget right now. I’ve been shooting a RPRR, and it’s been ok, but just ok. I need to step it up a notch. I’m really torn between the B-14r, and the CZ 457 like the AT-ONE. I know that there are some goodies out there for both. I have also looked at the Tikka, but it just isn’t grabbing me. Plan on running some local PRS style 22 matches, and want to have fun and do ok, but I’m good with ok. Experienced users of these please chime in with pluses and minuses. I need something to tip the scales. Me and this Ruger just aren’t in love with each other and I need to do something.

This has more local interest, for me i have a personal interest, something seems foul here.

Could be Occams Razor but if this goes the sideways it could, this will be national.

It's got a body, a woman, a journalist, intrigue, conspiracy, FBI, inter agency scores to settle going back to Whitey Bulger, a rogue Trooper, filled in swimming pools, remodeled basements, disappearing dogs, cell phones destroyed Clinton style or perhaps it's just a guy that got hit by a car driven by crazy.

You can say you saw it here first.


This just skims the surface. Way more detail that isn't being mentioned.

What's the difference between the Trijicon SRO2 & SRO3 and why can't I find any green dots?

So after 15 years of 'conventional' reloading I decided to try and step it up a level.

One thing I have invested in is a s/h RCBS case gauge centre.

So looking at the cartridge 'V' supports they look identical in terms of their profile.

Studying the dimensions of a .308 cartridge the diameter just prior to the neck is slightly smaller than the diameter at the primer end.

So when checking cartridge and bullet runout am I measuring the ruout of an oval rather than a circle?

Load development was easy. Wind was unusually calm so I decided to do it at 500. Not picky at all. Biggest group of the day was the 130gr Berger AR Hybrids at .632 MOA. Best was 42gr H4350 behind the Berger 140gr Elite Hunter. That went .498 MOA. Five 5-shot groups with 5 different loads averaged .555 MOA at 500 yards. Taking this one for Caribou in a couple of weeks.

I picked the best charge from my 500 yard load development and put 5 rounds on paper at 100 today to make sure I had a good zero. Wind was gusting hard and bench was really wobbly or it would have been better. Made a .1 adjustment and reset the zero indicator. Battery ran out on my chronograph so I made a guess on velocity and took it to 820 to use the velocity truing function on Ballistic AE. Group was 4.5” low at 820 so I put that in Ballistic AE and it determined true velocity was 2790. Fired one more group at 820 using 2790 velocity and it was centered on aiming point. I think we’re ready for Caribou.

Factory 20 inch 308 barrel from an Accuracy International AT.
Roughly ~200rounds.
$550 shipped.

Anyone built their M40A1 on the Reproduction Smear stock yet??

Just built up a 20" 6.5prc. Planning to run it for hunting with an Ultra 5. What powders should I be experimenting with to gain some velocity back on the shorter barrel?

Anyone have a range report, or word from the Brit's deployed with them?

I just became aware that Hornady makes a .308 125gr FMJ bullet. I would like to try this in my 308 AR. Was wondering if any one has tried this bulletin an AR, & how it worked out. Not asking for actual weight, but what particular powder worked well with this bullet?

Never used, but put into the bag so there is wear.

$800 shipped. Paypal FF or Zelle. Please PM me. Thanks.

I'm seeing plenty of reviews here for the rc2 762. (thank you to all those who took out the time to write those reviews)

I'm not seeing too much on the B&T RBS 7.62 other than fluff pieces on blogs. Only negative that I could find is that the B&T produces considerably more flash than other cans. But the source was reddit and I don't trust or listen to reddit often. I would like to have someone here review it.

So I'm fully in the SF ecosystem with their muzzle devices, this is the direction that I'm staying. Historically I'm good with having one can for everything that I have but with the reduced acceptance times, I'm rethinking getting another can.

My choices....get another rc2 762 or save a couple hundred and get the B&T.....or do nothing.

Open for critical review

When shooting at paper, what color is easiest to see bullet holes?

Can you remove live (unfired) primers with a resizing die? I have some live primers (of the wrong type) in some brass I want to use. Guess the other option would be to “fire” them in the rifle.

This thing looks legit. They seem to have incorporated nearly every accuracy/reliability producing process/technique available to the AR platform. RD has a great video on Instagram explaining more about the rifle. Here’s what I like:
-extremely tight/rigid receivers
-thermal fit upper
-cut rifled proof barrel with intermediate gas system
-taper locked/keyed gas block
-A5 w/Springco green spring
-Geissele trigger and CH

This is as close to a turn-key recce/SPR I’ve seen. Nice work RD.

These rifles are pure trash. Against my better judgement I bought a new B14 Sierra Wilderness in 7PRC after already having been burned 2 times by rifles of theirs that shot like crap out of the box (including a premier).

The first trip to the range right out of the box it was shooting roughly 4-6” groups with all three types of Hornady factory ammo. I started with a barrel that I had cleaned at home prior to the range trip and did a break in since factory barrels are known to be rough. Even during the break in and cleaning the barrel frequently the groups were a whole hell of a lot larger than you’d ever expect to see.

Everything was checked for torque, I pulled that optic off of the rifle and put it on my PH2 6.5CM and confirmed there wasn’t an issue with it and put the optic from my PH2 on the Bergara with the same result. Also tried different torque settings on the action screws other than their 55inlbs spec going to 65 on both and also lightening the rear. I also pulled the barreled action out of the chassis where I saw a lot of heavy overspray from their panting process and proceeded to sand the thick webbing spots down at the range. Nothing I did changed the result.

After 60 rounds the rifle was still shooting like absolute dog shit and copper fouling like crazy. I called Bergara on the way home from the range and got an RMA to send it in.

At home I inspected the rifle where I noticed the absolute terrible bolt lug contact and thought that might be causing an issue as well so I noted that when I sent it in.

Bergara inspected the rifle, recrowned it and said it shot a .9” and .6” group with Terminal Ascent 170gr and sent it back out. They didn’t address the bolt lug contact issue or the issue with the hinge pin on the floorplate of the bottom metal falling out of one side of the hinge due to the pin either being too short or the relief being too wide and their “gunsmith” said was in spec.

I was hopeful it would shoot as I do generally like the rifle and it has improved but it still shoots like complete ass. I even bedded the stock since it was showing signs of a bedding issue and Bergara fucked up the paint in the inlet while they had it which uncovered how uneven and thick the paint was in places. The bedding seemed to have made a difference because the erratic flyers are gone and it’s just shooting large triangle type 3 shot groups now… for the most part.

I got frustrated at the range after group after group being 1.5-2MOA with every ammo type include the Terminal Ascent they recommended for another 50-60 rounds or so. I had cleaned the copper mine yet again with bore tech eliminator which is quite the process due to how badly it fouls and decided I was just going to put some rounds through it to try to smooth it out in 10 round strings. So I shot the first two 3 shot groups back to back and they were… large. Loaded up another 3 and it stacked them sub .5moa… no shit. So I shot a 4th and it put it right in there. At this point I’m thinking this thing is starting to shoot and get excited. I shot another 3 shot group with the barrel super hot with was also very good.

So I let it cool completely and shot another 3 shot group… back to dog shit. WTF? I cleaned it again and shot two more 3 shot groups with the same result. I was done wasting ammo so I put it away. I was thinking the barrel might have a stress relieving issue based on this and texted another hide member what had happened and he said the same thing.

I also brought my Seekins Element 7mm PRC to the range and shot them side by side and all of the ammo shot exceptional in the Seekins, so I know it’s not an issue with the ammo or an issue with recoil. Despite the Seekins being nearly 3lbs lighter as configured it still didn’t manage a group larger than 3/4moa, even the 8 shot group I fired in 1.5min trying to mimic barrel heat over a NRLH stage.

So here we are yet again, I called Bergara again and they said they’ll issue another RMA and look at it again but won’t test fire it. I feel like that’s a waste of my time when I’ve already gone down that road with negative results so I have zero faith in a positive outcome from that nor do I wish to waste any more time or ammo verifying the rifle when it comes back. I proposed that they either 1. Accept the rifle back and issue a full refund of my purchase price or 2. Agree to rebarrel the rifle so that I can send it down the road with some level of confidence that whoever bought it might get a decent rifle. They denied both.

I’ve followed up with the same documentation of my results in an email as well as my proposal. I doubt anything will come of it so my next step will be to send it to a gunsmith next week for a third party evaluation and I’ll then just take legal action and seek the cost of the rifle, inspection fees, as well as the ammo I’ve wasted on this piece of crap.

So my advice, buy a rifle from just about any other rifle manufacturer.

I’ll update this later tonight or tomorrow with some pictures as well as update it with third party findings or any resolution from Bergara.
