Going to put together a .308 rifle for general all-around use. Don't need anyone to pick an action for me, however there are a lot of people out there that experience what actions cycle effortlessly and stay running despite shitty conditions. I would like to know what actions you have seen go down the least and keep you in the game no matter what environment you're in.

I have a very unique take on your relationship with your rear bag and its relationship to your shooting. What for some is a total afterthought, given very little consideration beyond what is trending in the marketplace or is being promoted heavily by this shooter or that. My take comes from being in your space. You see, I spend a ton of time down on a knee watching the relationship between shooter and equipment. This time provides me, and ultimately you, a diagnosis of what is going wrong, or should we say “differently” from shot to shot.

My loaded necks are .289 so I'm using a .288 bushing. YMMV though



I have 300 pieces of Lapua brass all the same lot number and loaded neck is very consistant at .289 to .2895. Other lot numbers may vary in thickness.

40gr. H4350, 140gr. Berger Hybrid, CCI 450 primer

This load bugholes out of my 27in. Bartlein barrel... I don't have excess to a Chrono yet although...

41gr- 41.5gr. H4350 is a bugholer also, just find your barrels best .1 increment within that window and you will be happy....

I kind of figured it would be between the .288 and .289. Went ahead and ordered my Redding FL Die Set and both of the mentioned bushings. Thanks guys!

Has anyone noticed anything different between CCI 400, 450m and BR4? Are you guys able to get low SD numbers using the 400s, 450s, vs BR4s?

And then I’ll be expecting J6 and Covid type raids with tanks and machine guns and snipers and dogs from the feds all the way town to town constable .

And if we see any type of action like that at all it’ll go a long way toward rebuilding trust .

New shooter. Looking for bipod ideas. Currently have a triple pull that I use for NRL and a Tricer that I use for hunting. Have quickly concluded that these are less than ideal for PRS, so I am looking for bipod recommendations.
Thanks

I just bought a Huxwrx Flow 556... wanted to test these eForm4's shipping a can right to your door. Sure enough, its legit, approved in 4 days...

So i decided to build and submit a new eform 1 sbr lower for this build. And build a 11.5" BCM upper and a 12.5" Geissele upper.


Here the build specs


Lower

Spikes Tactical Spider Lower
Geissele Buffer Tube
Geissele H3 buffer/spring combo
Geissele trigger guard
Geissele Maritime bolt catch
BAD Pro Ambi Safety
Geissele lower parts kit
Magoul MOE K2+
Larue MBT- 2S Straight w/JP spring
Magpul CTR
BCM QD Endplate
Forward Controls Billet Castle Nut


Geissele Upper
12.5" Geissele chrome lined CHF barrel
9.3" Geissele SMR MK16 handguard
Geissele Super Compact gas BLOCK
Geissele Super Charging Handle
Spikes Tactical melonited gas tube
Rubber City Armory BCG
Magpul VFG


BCM Upper
11.5" BCM Chrome lined barrel
10.5" BCM MCMR MLOK Handguard
BCM 750 gas block
Spikes Tactical melonited gas tube
BCM Gunfighter Ambi charging handle
Rubber City Armory BCG
Magpul VFG

GBRS Lerna mount
Aimpoint T2

I just put some Hornady 55 FMJ-BT WC846 bulk plinking ammo through the Geissele upper today on one of my other SBR lowers to zero at 50yd and put some rounds down in.

Functioned flawlessly..... just waiting for the Huxwrx to show up in the mail then I'll start doing some testing.

I also have a 11.5" piston upper i built with a Superlative Arms piston kit that is very smooth ill be testing the Huxwrx on and comparing to these 2 uppers.

Hey guys, I’m using a xl650 and set of LEE 224 Valkyrie factory dies, and I have the sizing/decaping die screwed all the way to the shelf plate and it will not bump the shoulder back at all to where it passes in a headspace gauge.
So there’s no more adjustment in the dye and it won’t go through headspace cage I’ll attach a picture for reference.
am I missing something obvious?

I haven’t annealed them yet, I guess this could be the problem but it would be nice to be able to control the shoulder bump a little more if needed.
