I have a impact 737 with a 26in bartlein 1-7.5 twist. The first 600 rounds shoot great at 0.3 moa at 2940 fps with SD's around 4. After that I started getting big velocity jumps off 35 to 50 fps after every 80 to 100 rounds and having to rezero every other week. Now my I am at 3080 fps with SD's of 11 on the same load which is 2 grains over minimum. It is still shooting 0.5 moa groups. If try to change anything to the load I get lots of pressure. I double checked all my equipment and measurements. I also tried different primers, powder, and brass with the same result. I don't shoot the barrel very hard and clean it well every 150 - 200 rounds. I now have almost 1600 rounds on the barrel. I am wondering if I should pull it off and get a new one. My buddy has the exact same spec barrel and his shoots lights out with any load he makes. I am wondering if I did something to the chamber.

Selling an MPA DS9 Hybrid in 9mm.
Asking $2400 shipped to your FFL.
Do not buy this if you can't own it in your state - my FFL will confirm.
Willing accept most electronic payments as well as USPO MO.
Willing to have a video call so you can see that I actually have the gun and further inspect it's condition.

I am the second owner of this pistol. It has approximately 1100 - 1200 rounds through it.
The gun is tight and the trigger is great. I have only shot this out to 25 yards, but it was very accurate and easy to shoot. The front of the frame rail has some finish loss due to holster work from the previous owner.

This gun feels and shoots like an upgrade to the Staccato XL's that I replaced. The DS9 was faster cycling and flatter recoiling than any of my XL's.

Comes with two 17rd mags, set of springs from the previous owner, RMR optics plate, Delta Point Pro optics plate, MPA soft case, and Accuracy X front/rear sight set. I may also have a "carry" mag well, but I'll have to find it.
I also have several NON-LOCKBACK magazines that I will offer to the buyer at an additional cost.

Not looking for any trades at this time. Cross posted and for sale locally.

New guy guy from New Mexico looking to improve in the local PRS matches and get more into rifle building.

Looking for something equivalent to Trail Boss for loading an AR .308 1:10 20" Subsonic. I don't have much experience with the fast burning powders like Trail Boss. I know it is bulky a powder.... is there something out there that works well. I would like to use Lapua 200gr FMJ Subs, or Lapua 220gr FMJBT, these are what I use in my 300BO...
thanks in advance...

Anyone have recent reviews/opinions on the new 30mm Arken EPL4 line?

No experience with arken personally, but the EP5 seems to get favorable reviews. I am looking at the EPL4 for my 17 HMR. The 39oz EP5 is more than I need for a walking varmint rifle.

These have been pretty popular over the past few months. Customers leave reviews like "I have ordered 14,000 of these so far. Need I say more? For those of you using bullet feeders they work just great."

A lot of folks use titegroup, but we have a whole discussion about them on our forum here for a starting point.

Also, coupon code SNOWDAY is active and that takes $10 off all orders over $75. Happy to answer any questions. Oh, and ADG said they're shipping us more 6.8 Western Brass next week, so that'll make a few folks happy.

Anyone here from around ohio? I'm wanting to rebarrel and true my 700 action to something a little more suitable for long range. Anyone have good experiences with gunsmiths in the area I'm willing to drive a couple hours for someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks all!

I posted this on another forum but didn't get many replies. I've always wanted a SAUM. The purpose would be for a lite weight hunting rig for whitetail, and perhaps a black bear if one presented itself in my area. Also, the occasional bench session with no rapid firing. Max shots would be around 5-600 yards.
I realize there are a truckload of cartridges that can accomplish this that are more efficient, but like I said I always wanted a SAUM, and I have a new short action kelbly that I was going to use with UM bottom metal and XL mags.

i'm up in the air between a 25, 6.5 or 7 SAUM . I don't really want to go super heavy in a 7 Saum with the 180. I was thinking more like 140-168 with a 7, but that go me thinking that a 140gr in a 6.5 would be better due to the higher BC. Also, shooting a 25 with the 130 class bergers would be the flattest shooting from just punching in numbers.

What cal. do you think would have the best brass life and barrel life of these. Id like to get over 3,000fps with whatever I choose with a 22-24 inch barrel.

I found a Anschutz 1710 at a DFW (Allen,Tx) vendor. I'll attach photos. Please tell me what I am looking at inside the action. The salesperson said this was from inserting a chamber flag. I told him that's ridiculous he expected me to believe that. I told him that, then he replied he would send it to be re-barreled. I came back to check if it was sent and it was still there, exact same condition! Not even an attempt to clean it up!

The chamber inlet bottom it appears to be very rough, perhaps cracked?

Also what throws me is the 22.75 inch barrel. It's that a normal size? It was NOT threaded.

Buyers beware.

Picked up a used TRG in .338. Tried screwing the thread protector on but no dice. Looks like they might be damaged? Rifle had a self timing muzzle break on it before- poor installation? Or am I just crazy. Or are the threads fine? Not sure why the protector seems like it is too small. What are my options?

I got to shoot a JP5 at a USPSA event and I was really impressed with it. I went to their web site to look at them and I noticed that they actually make two different PCCs. The JP5 which is a roller delayed system and the JP GMR which is a direct blowback. I am not looking to compete with the PCC. I have shot four two gun matches this year and I always preform worse with rifles compared to pistols. Effectively the courses of fire are for the most part short range with a lot of snap shooting inside 25 yards. I have a place to shoot rifles in a way that I would consider good practice but it is an hour drive from where I live. If I had a PCC, I could hit two different indoor ranges and practice some of what I am hitting in matches. I also am guessing that practicing with the PCC would be less expensive with less wear on the equipment compared to my rifle.

Now that I went through all of that, I would actually prefer to buy whichever version is going to feel more like my rifle (recoil impulse). For those of you that have shot them, can you point me in the right direction?

Like new NF NX8 4-32 for sale. MIL-XT reticle scope is basically new. Opened the box and mounted on a rifle then decided to keep the mk5 on it instead.
