    .300 win mag and power pro 4000 mr with 200+'s

    Aimsmall, you got me started testing this powder a while back, and I tried it in a 26" Savage Varmint SS. I was pushing 220gr SMKs seated to 3.5", CCI large rifle BR primers. The data is spotty, rain smeared my scribblin's. 67.5gr- 2767 2764 2772 68gr - 2787 2784 2809 69.gr - 2794 2807 69.5gr-...

    reloader 33

    The Alliant website shows 97.5gr using a 300gr bullet. I got 2700fps with that load out of a 110FCP HS. Found a node at 98.5gr.

    Leverevolution

    I was at the 6.5 Grendel forum some time back, and read a post that made reference to Leverevolution being a close match to CFE223. Just checking here to see if anyone has used it in .223. I'm trying to get the 77gr CC's to move faster, without the pressure signs, and loss of accuracy. So far...

    Midway 178 blems

    They are not the same. They have a higher B.C. and will likely need to be seated differently to be accurate. I have been messing with them using Varget, but nothing really accurate so far.

    What is Ramshot TAC good for?

    Thanks guys. I've done my share of " just load 'em up and blast away" type of loading, and over time, keep stumbling on accuracy nodes. Some of my pet loads in .308 shoot very well in all my rifles, and those are the elusive OCW type loads that I'm looking for.

    What is Ramshot TAC good for?

    That's what I came closest to using it for, was 55gr FMJs, but used up the last of the 2230-c instead. The 2230-c load was more accurate. I get a lot of Muzzle flash with Xterminator in the carbines, so was looking at pushing the heavies in 18"-20" barrels.

    What is Ramshot TAC good for?

    First off, just know that I'm not too lazy to do the load development. I've had this 8# of TAC for almost 8 years, and tried it in .308, multiple bullet weights. Also in .223, and 6.5 Grendel. Tac was edged out, accuracy wise, in all my phases of testing, so before I condemn it to load blasting...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    More unfortunate, than odd. I felt as though the MI offering had too small of an ID, so I cannibalized an AR15 to add the EVO to my G2. at the time, I was unaware that Samson had plans to make an EVO for the G2. It makes me wonder who else has plans for yet another choice in a G2 FFHG.

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    I had to turn .053" off of my G2 AP4 barrel nut for my Samson EVO to fit. I was unaware that DPMS is already selling replacement parts for the G2. Where can I find that barrel nut?

    Anyone know of a machine shop good enough to mill down an AR-10 bolt carrier?

    They will work, but head space will be TIGHT. I run a DPMS bolt & carrier in my Armalite rifle, but it has a Rock 5R, and was suffering from excessive head space, until I made the swap. I now have a spare bolt & carrier to carve up for the carbine. I've been looking hard at milling weight off...

    338 Lapua Retumbo loads

    Hey Tristian19, What barrel length is that Krieger Heavy Palma? Is it 31"?

    Savage .338 Lapua Magnum

    I would sell mine, If I had to. With full disclosure of all things stated above, as only my humble opinion, the buyer making an informed decision. For my old factory barrel , I will pour a lead slug in the bore, impregnate it with lapping compound, and lap out the tool marks that all the copper...

    Savage .338 Lapua Magnum

    Timelinex....You like it, but your selling it....Okay. That makes a statement. Tristian19, no shit. Those 110BAs go for about $600 more than my 110FCP. Last month, I screwed on a 29.5" Rock Creek pre-chambered 5R, and am developing loads for it right now. Of all the barrel makers, Rock Creek...

    Favorite powder for 6.5 Grendel

    Dude, you ain't seen shit. I was a member of the original 6.5 Grendel forum about 7 years ago. You would not believe the asinine shit that went on there during that time. I don't know what it is about the Grendel, but the extreme hardcore followers were/are some of the most vicious, sarcastic, &...
