Midwest reaction rod for me.

I have modified 3 of the 6.8 PRI mags (2-10's and 1-15) and 1 223. I did it with a dremel and a cutoff wheel, a step drill to get the radius at the bottom, some time with a file, and some cratex wheels. A milling machine would be child's play (and a blessing). Depending on the lower and barrel...

Carbine gas system on those, not RLGS. I believe that was what being asked about. When TTT stated "Friends don't let friends buy 16" mid gas.", I am almost positve he wouldn't let enemies buy a 16" carbine gas. Maybe I was wrong.

Kinda waiting on the Criterion Hybrid RLGS 16" to come back in stock (if ever). My current 16" is an Intermediate Odin Works. Not a bad barrel at all but not a lightweight either.

OK. FWIW, I also use the Sierra Varminteer (115 grain) but my load is 19 grains H110, CCI 400/550, and Starline. With my RAR it is accurate to 300 (farthest I shoot the RAR). That bullet has always performed well in mine. I don't think that is your problem. The heaviest "super" I use is either a...

Kinda need more information on the loads. Both Supers and Subs. Did you fire both same day? You have only fired 50 through the rifle or 50 rounds during that session? I should mention I have one too and if anything it prefers supers but not by a large margin. I use a Nomad 30 exclusively (after...

I've read where you've mentioned this barrel/rifle multiple times. I was curious why 17.6" and what was the approximate round count and now I know. Probably the biggest curiosity was what was the gas tube length. I wouldn't have guessed MLGS (-) but I didn't really consider the age of the...

Yes they did (Grafs)...

No reason you can't do it that way. If you also like to know your measurements in an AR, that technique becomes more problematic. Like Baron23, I prefer a quicker route that also gives good results. I write all my data down for each rifle and check whatever bullet I may use when new (I do...

I was taking a shot in the dark of what bullets prefer a jam that you might have been referring to. VLD's can jump but jamming works every time for me. I agree completely about jumping hybrids. I can jam a hybrid and they work great but ran out of magazine length in a 6.5 Creedmoor that has an...

If you are referring to a Hornady (or Possum Hollow) OAL gauge then that is the easiest way to find "jam" in my mind. There are other tools or techniques that will do the same thing but are different (Sinclair is an example). There is a learning curve using the tools but that just my...

I'm waiting on the Sierra 120 TGK to become available again. I saw them listed late last year (?) and went as far to add them to my cart on Sierra's website. I waited and thought on it and they were gone. They are a long SOB though. I'm playing with the Sierra tipped BK now with 8208 and it...

Without reading through again to double-check, it seems it is the Redding FL bushing die that is not bumping the shoulders? Kadams1563, I also use a Co-Ax with my Redding dies. FWIW, mine are the FL bushing sizer and micrometer seater. I bought mine second hand either on here or over on the...

A 223 can be a frustrating SOB trying to get great "numbers". I consider a sd of 10 to be pretty good. I personally don't get those numbers with virgin brass. Like another mentioned, I actually enjoy the process of reloading and my tools show it. I use a lab grade MRS scale, anneal every time...

I didn't even realize there was a lawsuit until you mentioned it msgriff. I looked it up and had to scratch my knot in wonder. WTH! Nevertheless, I wouldn't get rid of my JP FMOS carriers but I also wouldn't mind having more Young Manufacturing NM carriers. Sorry for the derail OP!
