    Solus bolt issues

    Is your firing pin greased/oiled? I feel part of my issues were related to the grease I had on my firing pin thinning out when hot and coating the detent notch causing it to slip into the fire position while racking the bolt?

    Garmin Xero Gen2?

    I'm hearing there's already a new Xero C2(gen2?) Coming? If so what would the upgrades be?

    Solus bolt issues

    Update: Finally got around to messing with the gun again today. Went to do some mock stages with dummy rounds and my support bag. I then noticed my barrel felt wobly when I picked the rifle up, figured my action might be a little loose. Sure enough my front action screw was definitely loose...

    Wet Tumbling / SS Pins

    I don't use pins, I use Southern Shine Media with citrus dish soap and hot water only. Usually tumble for around 4 hours then rinse with cold water

    .300 Blackout

    Just realized there's no pinned 300 BLK thread in the reloading page. Let's build up some info for future loaders, both with Supers and Subs. Favorite powders and projectiles. My powders of choice are currently H110, Lil'Gun and CFE BLK. Currently trying to use up all of my CFE BLK as it burns...

    Hunting Rifle: 7mm Rem Mag or 7mm SAUM?

    .280 is super easy to make brass for using any other '06 case, just neck down some Starline 30-06 brass and fireform into .280 AI. Problem solved.

    Hunting Rifle: 7mm Rem Mag or 7mm SAUM?

    I still feel the .280 AI is the better choice here even after reading all the posts saying it isn't. Standard bolt face > Higher mag capacity > Less powder > Elk won't know the difference between 100-150 fps

    Solus bolt issues

    I'll try this next. I just tried real quick on my couch before I had to leave for work this afternoon. I'll try to find something to brace off of when I get off work tonight.

    Solus bolt issues

    Loaded up some dummy rounds today. With a loaded mag the bullets push up on the bolt as expected and then forces the rear of the bolt to touch the folder button when I have the bolt to the rear. Similar to the picture I posted above but I'll go ahead and post again. I still can't recreate the...

    I've never had issues with Sierra 2nds, I shoot suppressed 99% of the time

    Midway Factory Seconds

    I've been shooting Sierra factory 2nds exclusively for years. I started off weighing and sorting them but eventually it gets old fast. Now I just pull out the obvious bad ones with missing, defective or backwards tips.
