My. 30 cal cans have worked pretty great on .223, 6 ARC, 6 GT, 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 CM, .280 AI, 7 PRC, .308, .30-06 and .300 WSM. If you're new to suppressors and want caliber specific cans you should get them, it might be a learning experience on why you keep getting the lovely .30 cal...

I just saw the other day that Aero came out with two new versions of the Solus, the Obsidian and the Lightweight, both of which have fluted bolts. https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/solus-short-action-obsidian-540-bolt-face...

It would be good to get this thread pinned in the reloading section as the 7PRC discussion thread. I wonder how to request that?

Has anyone seen a .stl for an M-Lok mount for the Garmin anywhere? This case from Thingiverse turned out pretty well, FDM is great for this kind of light duty stuff, and I've got a lot M-Lok clad rifles floating around. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6399976 I blurred it out for the pic...

With a well setup rifle 6mm ARC has impressed me with how quiet it is suppressed. Maybe I'm just used to larger cartridges, but to me ARC is substantially quieter with a .30 cal can than most things I shoot, and my ARCs are the only rifles I've had folks come over at the range and ask what they...

An 8 twist might well work for 105gr hybrids or 108gr ELDs, I think I'd give it a try before throwing in the towel.

I do love RL16, and switched to it from H4350 years ago. At this point though, I've been able to find good loads for most of my rifles with Staball 6.5, it's always available and gives velocities near RL16. Might be worth experimenting with a bit now that you have some more RL16 laid back for now.

I finally got my Tikka 300 WSM converted over with a 19" Carbon six 7mm PRC barrel and took it out for the first 20 or so shots. I shot some 180gr ELD Factory which turned out pretty slow, then shot spreads with 162gr ELDx, 168gr LRX and 175gr ELDx and Staball HD.

It definitely sucks to shoot next to a braked rifle compared with suppressed or bare muzzles, especially when it's something larger than one of the wee 6mms. Wouldn't have thrown a fit, but the range always gets better when the brake shooters pack up for the day and leave.

Curious because they are supposed to open up so fast, but is the bigger hole entry or exit?

Finally got around to installing my new barrel and stock on this action to get it to it's final-ish form. I'm probably going to sponge or pattern spray the stock with some alumahyde paint I have, and install an aluminum bottom metal at some point. Also I had to go with high rings with the WSM...

I remember when WC finally came out with their ARC barrels at long last and immediately tripped over their own dicks with the gas system. I had been waiting on one because lightweight factory ARC barrels were hard to come by at the time and I was pretty happy with my LW WC Grendel. They...

You excluded the info I actually need man, where'd you get it?

Even after all this hawg wagglin' I still haven't found the sub-$800 XTRIIIs..... Anyone want to prove how super right and in the know they are by providing a link or name?

I think I'd call Ruger up about that, definitely not normal and probably won't stop. I had similar strange wear on the ejection port of my PC Carbine when new. Sent it back and it hasn't occurred since the repair.
