Re: *First Look* Atlas Bipod V8 I just wanted to say thanks to Kasey for the upgrade! Got the bipod back yesterday and it is first class! Thanks again Kasey for making this option available. Steve

Re: AICS Stock Modification I had one built buy George's crew at GAP and can't be happier with their work. Either mag will work with the AICS chassis, but the reciever must be capable of accepting rounds being fed from a double-stack mag. My rifle runs either mag just fine. My $.02, send it...

I have a M2008 with a Bartlein barrel in a AICS chassis that GAP built for me. It's chambered to .308 Win and shoots waayyy good. I have been loading 43.7 grs Varget over CCI BR-2 pimers under 155 Scenars in Lapua brass. Seems to be a great load. After 10 reload cycles I had a case separate...

Re: Mixed powders, what should I do?? We all make mistakes, but are you willing to gamble your rifle and your personal safety to the question, did I get all of the other powder out of the jug? I say properly dispose of the powder and chalk it up to and unfortunate mistake, that didn't cost...

Re: Gracey primer pocket uniformer/cleaner? No one using a Gracey?

Has anyone had experience with this piece of equipment? I am looking for a way to speed up my brass prep for high volume .223 and maybe .308? Right now I use a K&M uniforming tool in a battery drill. Is the Gracey machine quality gear and worth the investment? I wish Giraud made one.

Re: What does extractor wipe have to do with max load? Clark, thanks! You know a lot more about this than I do and I really appreciate the info. I'll try measuring the extractor groove on 8-10 pieces of brass before and after shooting for load development. This whole discussion is helping me...

Re: Brass pressure signs... Thanks Jedi. I am loading some FL sized brass to be sure I don't have two issues to work and then I will step up from the 43.7 and see what I get? I had a load in my FNH that made slight ejector wipe marks on the brass so I backed off. I haven't gotten anywhere...

Re: 155 Scenar? In my FNH SPR I tried evrything from .050" to .010" off the lands and noted no dicernable difference. In my new M2008 GAP rifle I am running them .020" off the lands and they shoot great. I haven't felt the need to get into the lands with them working this well now. They are...

Re: Brass pressure signs... EddieP, That's a pressure sign even I can read!
