For those that have the buttstock canted and are right handed shooters, which side do you like the cant to go?

I think I like mine to the right. I tried it to the left but I can’t remember if I liked it or not.

Mines canted left so the pointy part isn't digging into my chest. Feels better in my shoulder pocket as well

I managed to pick up a legacy AICS chassis for a decent price from a FB group. I decided to drop my Bergara B14R into it with a Trigger Tech Diamond 2 Stage trigger.

This is currently the only "AI" I have left in the safe as I sold my AX308. On the plus side my AXSR and AT-X should be here next week.

Lol that's nothing.... Try 300 Norma loads with a factory lfp ai bolt....

 
Yea I had seen some slight rounded cratering with other rifles before. Then I got that and was like what in the devils tower is going on here?
The metal was trying to flow upwards like a water spout. It’s like that little numb at the end of a condom. It’s there to catch the load.

Do they sent primers to you to do structural test. Jesus lol
 
I'm still new at this. I have a 2017 axmc and new about needing to get a sfp 308 assembly if I wanted to do 6.5cm with small rifle primers. Easy fix: don't shoot 6.5cm with small rifle primers

But it looks like the problem with the lfp is bigger than that and I should go ahead and plan on getting my firing pin and all three bolt bodies worked on?

Either worked on, or buy SFP bolts.

Depends...you will still probably blow 6.5 large primers with the large firing pin bolt at really low pressure.

300wm normal loads I had some moderate cratering.

.300 norma well see my link in the post above lol.

338 LM honestly didn't crater very much but if your going to bush one or buy a factory small firing pin and bolt, you might as well do them all so your firing pins are interchangeable.

A factory sfp will not work in a factory large fp bolt fyi

For mine I have LFP 300 and 338 bolt bodies. Purchased a complete SFP 308/6.5 bolt for the smaller stuff. My plan is to run 300 PRC and 6.5 CM. Swapping the complete bolts/barrel

Mile high has the complete bolts in SFP. There’s also been a couple for sale in the PX lately. Just fyi as stated above if you only buy the SFP bolt body the guts from the LFP bolt won’t fit that. So you’d end up purchasing the firing pin assembly anyways
 
One more step closer.

26" 6x47 XM3 contour Hart barrel (mounted)
25" 6.5 Creedmoor marksman contour Mullerworks barrel.

Still want to do a barrel in 16.5. Not sure if I want to chop this creed barrel and get a long 308 or get a proof CF 308 in 16.5".

ATACR sitting until I get an ultra short on there. Looking forward to getting it out to a match.

16.5” 308 from mile high for ya.
 
Nothing special and bad lighting to boot. AXMC on Ironman at Quantico. I was shooting a 4" gong at 650ish in one of the new lanes that were cut after the storm took out so many Pines. Temps were in the 30's with a light wind. Much different from yesterday when I was RSOing on R4 at 25 degrees with a 20mph wind, it was chilly.

Today's real excitement was a reminder to never let routine creep into your reloading. We had an incident with a CZ Scorpion with an OOB discharge. Appears the person loaded his 9mm 147s too long. They "fit" in his Beretta, but he did not check them in his CZ before firing. Previous picture removed.
