And many exterior variables are ultimately out of your control and require compensation. There are different routes for different disciplines but the rifle is stated. Loading for BC (probably implied) and MV is of significance. Exterior before interior.

Greetings, Do you shoot at Winnequah?

It's your machine. "43ish RL15 175SMK was at 2300 fps" and 2.80 for a SMK in FGMM smells wrong. Rem 700 AAC SD 20" 1:10 twist "43gr IMR4064, 175SMK was at 2540 fps" no doubt Looking back through the book, anything "43ish" in factory Rem (per chamber and 175s or 178s) and FGMM brass was pushing...

As far as adhesion to AICS skins; Duracoat is just as good as Ceracoat ignoring the finish itself in build and gloss. I'm not an expert Duracoat or coating person but I think it got a bad rap in the wider market. AICS skins are preparation intensive, it's an oily plastic. I’m a hack and I...

Sure. Don’t fear the jump. For the majority of shooters it is inevitable. As far as loading to the lands, understand that in the tiny slices of time upon primer ignition, the bullet can start to “squirt” out the case, changing the case volume. The case volume or powder chamber is dynamic...

For shits and grins, here is the same P25 Smilodon next to the Nitecore Tiny Monster TM26. The room was dark.

I got to try the P25. I LIKE it. I say go for it. Good throw for the size. The tail button takes previdence and it has memory so it should work OK in weapon mounted applications. NITECORE: LEFT: P25, highest output RIGHT: Surefire M2 Centurion with P60L LED

Hi Ryan, 1) Is it surprising to have a throat this long? I realize it is a factory gun, not a custom. Nope. Especially the Rem700 2) If I load to the 2.880 so the magazine will work, is the .058" too far for the bullet to be jumping? Nope. 3) Is .216" of bearing surface between case...

How bad is too bad dent/deformation wise? Times are tough. I can't imaging it being a real issue but wanted to get a consensus. Chambered barrels are not cheap or its a waste of my time to make poor performing ammo.

Varget is gone. I watched the stock qty go from 40 to 0 in a few minutes. Crazy.

From my experience, the necessary milling was only with certain aftermarket triggers. Once for a long recoil lug. Out of my four AICSs, three are bedded in some fashion and the one not bedded is a .22LR. There was no milling in relation to the bedding itself. BTW, that has long been my...

^ Exactly lash. Throw in a recognized Manufacturer's name and the term "engineers" and suddenly it is "fact". This is no different than the Rain Vs. POI threads. Get a "scientist" or someone who totally misapplies a simple KE equation to throw numbers around and suddenly there is "fact"...

Fenix is also a good light IMO. I won't say thats a bad choice but when comparing lights; look at the lumens vs. distance. Both use the same FL1/ANSI standard. 760 lumen is a allot of light but the throw distance is only 155m (6000cd peak beam intensity). By way of comparision, the P25...

FYI Optics_Outlet on Egay is going the P25 Smilodon for $80 shipped (Make Offer) in 4days. "Fast n Free"
