    62gr ELD-VT in a 22-250

    I just rebarreled a rifle using a Green Mountain blank with a 1-9 twist cut at 24". Haven't done any serious load work yet but was able to get 3500 fps fairly easily with Varget and H380. Held about .8" groups but they show some promise

    Gunsmithing M16 extractor for Remington 223

    Just for clarification, you installed the factory style extractor from PTG or replaced it with either a sako or m16 style?

    Gunsmithing M16 extractor for Remington 223

    Does anyone know where I can get an M16 style extractor for a Remington 700 .223 and a print for installation? PTG told me their mini one won’t work for it and LRI isn’t showing their mini one available to order. I can do the install myself and would rather not have to send my bolt off. Also...

    Larue Stealth Barrel Gas Port Size

    Ya, it always seem a little over gassed. But it shot great right up until it didn't anymore and was worn out. You can use a drill index in place of gauge pins to get a close measurement too.

    Larue Stealth Barrel Gas Port Size

    Mine measures at .082" but it's also about 11 years old so I don't know if they've changed their spec since then.

    Setting back a CZ455 22lr barrel

    I get that, and I'm not trying to make this into something it's not. More just wanting to make it the best it possibly can be as it is. I know it's the shoulder that needs to be set back for chamber length but my headspace is right at .043" so whatever I take off the shoulder I have to take off...

    Setting back a CZ455 22lr barrel

    Ok, short story first, then questions. I have a cz455 Tactical that's turning into a perpetual project rifle. I shot it stock out of the box for about a month before I started tinkering with it. Initially, it shot about as well as the test target that it came with, roughly 2 MOA with some...

    Gunsmithing New build problems

    I had this exact same issue on my 308 I recently built. It was on a Rem 700 action with a regular Timney trigger. I guess Remington changed something in their design, either with the firing pin, the cocking piece, or location of the trigger itself, some years ago. So with the Timney installed...

    Range Report Federal gold medal 185gr Berger

    1-10” I used to have a 1-12” that they did stabilize out of but it was it wasn’t the best barrel on its own so I couldn’t blame the bullet for any lack of performance

    .308 Winchester

    185gr Berger Juggernaut Lapua brass (trimmed 2.010") Wolf Large Rifle primer 45.7gr 2000-MR COL- 2.85" (0.080" jump) 20" Shilen 1-10" twist 2561 fps I know that a lot of people are finding 2000-MR to be a little temp sensitive so if it matters, this is at 80* F.

    Range Report Federal gold medal 185gr Berger

    So I just got a couple boxes to try. Basically, if this stuff came out about 5 years ago I wouldn't have had a reason to handload for this particular rifle. I was adamant about using the 185gr Berger bullet. This ammo shoots damn near identically to my load. 2570ps out of a 20" Shilen barrel...

    CZ 455 "Tacticool" or wait for Tikka T1x

    I literally just went through this barely a month ago. I love Tikka rifles and have no doubt that the T1x is a fantastic rifle, especially considering it's supposed to fit into the same stocks as the T3's. But given the track record that the CZ has and that I could get it right away, I got the...

    Range Report 85gr MatchBurner Calibration

    Out of about 7 or 8 different bullets, it’s the only one that this particular rifle shot consistently well.

    Range Report 85gr MatchBurner Calibration

    Hopefully this is in the right place. I finally got around to crunching some numbers. This isn't intended to prove one set of numbers superior to others, I just wanted to share what I noticed... Barnes lists a G1 BC of .41 Bryan Litz lists an average G7 BC of .204 When I went out and...

    Gunsmithing 1/7 or 1/8 twist?

    Not sure if this helps, but my 16" LaRue with 1-8" twist managed a 9" 3 round group at almost 1100 meters with 85gr Barnes MatchBurners. The holes were a little crooked but still not sideways. At 600 meters they were perfectly round clean holes. And this is at a density altitude of -200 feet...
