    You give us too much credit. You may be able to read English, but I sure can’t read that article ;) Looking for a translator now…

    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    I almost ran with my Mod 0 last Saturday, but chickened out and ran a 6mm, but my Son in Law ran his Mod H with optics modified to work for a DMR match. Ran like a top.

    Noveske 6ARC throat question

    Alright. I took a step back last night and did some re-measuring. I’m allowing a .010” HS difference due to the brass used for the case gauge, so add .010” length if using a fired case for he gauge. The Nosler brass is an issue until FL sized BUT I don’t think it’s the only problem I had…...

    Noveske 6ARC throat question

    I thought I had this sorted last Sunday. Went through 50 or so rounds. Bolt held open fine. Rounds loaded fine. Ejection at 4 o’clock. At the house before the range dropping the bolt to load a round allowed me to easily eject a round. Not sure I tried that with one that got chambered post...

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    Run and Gun DMR was fun. Weather wasn’t an issue, maybe a low 80s for the late runners. Match was well laid out and flowed well. ROs had their stage briefs locked in tight and two guys in glass when we were shooting any kind of distance or obscured targets. Props were set up very well...

    6 ARC Gas Guns

    I went with Lever and the 105BTHP from Hornaday, Nosler brass but the few Hornaday cases I have ran great, maybe better than the Nosler . Personally, I’d go with a CCI450M or Remington 7 1/2 primer . The 205s are great but crater fairly easy. I don’t run then I’m something I know will be high...

    Vintage Sniper Rifle Picture Thread

    Spent some time shooting a Memorial match last Saturday. I competed “vintage Sniper” , which for us is sling and coat 3 x 600. I shot horribly. I normally shoot mid-high 180s with this rifle but I struggled to stay in the 170s this go around. Was still a great day with great people. Bob was...

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    I’ve been in the same situation. Rain started half way through a 10k and I was lucky to have it. (It was damn hot) Only issue I had was fogging/drops in my shooting glasses. I had to look over them. Had enough water spots on my ACRO that I had to wipe the lenses half way through the pistol...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I’ll need to look into it. I haven’t figured out my cost per round yet as I haven’t settle on a bullet but I think I’m going to be happy with the 105BTHP and Lever. Edit: $.97 + tx per shot with these handloads. With tax probably right at $1.06 per shot . That said, I have been rolling my...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I bought these cases and never meant to reload them. Plan was to Just pull them from the bag, prime and load directly out of the bag, fire and leave on them on the range. If they fit, there would be no need to size. As it turns out, I need to FL size to get them to work and because I’m...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    It’s not free spinning. Pretty basic set of dies. I honestly didn’t think I’d even need to use the sizer when I bought the kit. Plan was to hand prime, then just use the seater in a 550 to turn out mass amounts. Still doable. But not with this brass until after a sizing.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Edit 10-13, Nosler brass not Norma I also had no issues with factory Hornaday loads. The Nosler shoots pretty good, all things considered. It’s just a little extra work before priming. Since most of this brass is going to get left on the range (2 gun/tactical biathlon) I want the cheapest...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Edit 10-13, Nosler cases not Norma Think I have it sorted. I ran 50 or so rounds today. All new Nosler gear brass that has been FLSB sized. I changed the buffer spring to a standard carbine spring and went down to an H1 buffer. With the gas wide open w/no bleed off and 105s it’s kick the...

    Goggle for running and scope

    I usually run with Oakley or Gatorz, but I stow them on my hat until I get close to the stage. I have been using RayBan Meta tinted and recently bought a set of clears to record my 2 gun stages and I think I’m going to run my R&G this Saturday with the clear raybans. Not good for distance...
