Those chronos make a lot of ammo look bad. Compared to years back

No more shoot 5-10 through screens or with a magnetto then take it off and do the rest of your shooting.

Being able to Chrono all the rounds really shows outliers. Maybe you handloaders with time for days have better results

I don't handload and have zero time to do so. Like you, I put my available time towards shooting versus handloading. I bought the XERO because I saw a good deal and had too many libations that evening.

I find it very useful. It may explain some odd results at ranges greater than 500 yards. If you're shooting inside 400 yards, the SD and ES values I measure for Federal and Norma will not cause misses unless the plates are under 1 MOA in size. However, that is not the case at ranges > 600 yards.

Spark / Prime ammo was best factory ammo I’ve used. Better than berger.

But at this point even post covid Hornady ammo isn’t the weak link for me.

And that’s saying something. Hornady used to be decent the latest production stuff is lacking.

I used to only shoot black hills years ago till the price skyrocketed. May have to try that again that stuff was good

i miss Prime ammo the most of all the things that Covid hoax took from us.

 

[Nik H]

They have a 65cm load that’s the same.

Bullet is fatter

They make a number of them. I use the Federal 6.5 loaded with the 130-grain Berger when I shoot the AT. Can't use that with the MC since it has a large firing pin.

I don't know of a tipped 6.5 CM. Which one are you referring to?

I still have 2,500 rounds of the original PRIME 6.5 CM with the 130-grain bullet. I use it sparingly. It is money!

Nothing wrong with a little AI in deer hunting.

NORMA used to manufacture it for PRIME. However, I have shot both cartridges, and the PRIME was more consistent. I believe that PRIME had its recipe.

Hard to know for certain.

Anyone using a 338 suppressor other than tbac in their AI? Also is anyone coupling their the suppressor with OTL reflex mount?
Leaning toward the CGS heckate(based purely on value due to usage)myself but was wondering what the other options were

Dead air has their new 33 cal printed Ti can, the Nomax 33. Havent played with it yet, but I have played with its little brothers (LT XC and LTI XC), which are both very nice.

Does dead air make their own cans yet?

 

[Supersubes]

The handful of XC’s ive gotten in are marked Dead Air inc.

 

[Huskydriver]

What's the location?

 

[Supersubes]

What's the location?

Great question, that is the more important detail. Heber City Utah. So in-house dead air.

Correction on my above post also, its Dead Air Armament LLC, not Dead Air inc.

I’m as skeptical of dead air as anyone, but I figured a DMLS can probably isn’t gonna blow apart like a poorly welded tubeless can. They look nice, sound nice, and customers are so far happy.

I'd normally use them. They've been out of stock for several months unfortunately.

I don't but if you search this thread it's been posted at least half a dozen times

Pretty sure they’re discontinued. I used this from McMaster Carr. They look “okay” and sit pretty flush against the skins.

I’m not sure if they even make them anymore. If someone has a link I’ll buy a set for my second AT

Are the 20mm McMaster Carr ones long enough at 20mm? I had to cut a 25 down a bit because the 20mm ones I use weren’t long enough to contact the cheek piece

That TMK in 223 is a hella bullet…I’m sure in 308 is nothing to play with either.

I got some of them 77s to try out for my Tikka

It absolutely crushes everything else.

 

[rbutcher]

Also….. 95 shots on this target.

 

[BurtG]

Impressive. But why

 

[rbutcher]

I posted about it on rokslide. Essentially it was my first time handholding and the first shots in the barrel, so I was killing two birds with one stone. Getting 100+ shots down the barrel and generating a really statistically valid idea of WTF I did since I’ve never done it before.

 

[BurtG]

I would have shanked one at about round 5

 

[TheOE800]

I bought the XERO because I saw a good deal and had too many libations that evening.

You’re welcome.

 

[Nik H]

You’re welcome.

For the libations?

 

[TheOE800]

For the libations?

The encouragement?

My last used one was $3K shipped back in 2023.

Anyone have a line on a left handed AXSR 308 bolt? Also looking for a left handed 300WM AXMC bolt like Nik H. Already hit up MH and EO.

I have not had anything to post in some time, just the same old rattled can MC, lol, but I just grew my AI family and added a AXSA in Sage Green. As with all AI's its a solid sub MOA right out of the box. Dressed her with the identical mount and Tangent Theta scope that is on my MC.

I certainly am hoping that an LH, Sage Green AXSR gets delivered to one of the dealers soon.

I sincerely hope you are successful in your search for an LH AXMC bolt(s) as well.

Go sit in the corner with @Huskydriver and we can throw @Krob95 over there too. Just because.
