I grabbed a few pounds online at Cabelas as well as couple boxes of primers...hazmat was only $20 and I figured I minds as well grab it while I can.

Thanks guys, that's what I heard as well. Found Federal 210 Match primers too so I think i'm going to order a few pounds and few thousand primers to have on hand.

New to reloading and waiting for all my stuff to arrive. It seems to me that powder locally is a bit hard to find and since I don't want to get caught without powder I was going to grab a pound or two online so I can at least have something to start with. I'm waiting for my Sierra and Hornady...

Thanks. After more consideration I'm going with Ballistic AE, a chrono, and wind meter.

Rob's right. The new Gen II is awesome. Reading his review made me want to pony up and get one. I got lucky and the local shop had one in. I love this thing! Granted I haven't owned anything else in this price range, but it really is incredible! I love the turrets, the no-click zeroing and the...

Nice! Love those scopes...I wish I had two!

Glad to hear it turned up.

Yeah Frank that's badass! Looking forward to signing up and watching the videos. :)

Agreed. I was just happy to see some actually decent groups. I didn't have the proper height bags for this gun so it was kind of cobbled together hence the reason I was holding the fore end. With the bags I have, a rear bag hold is what I do on my bolt gun. Looking forward to checking out SH...

Well good news. Hit the range today and really kept thinking about everyone saying how much harder it is to run the gas gun. I focused on my cheek weld and using my off hand to really grip the fore end and pull the rifle into my shoulder. Shot off of bags. At 100 yards, i'm happy to say I think...

I ordered a box of Fiocchi 150gr FMJ as well as a box of HSM 178gr A-max just to try some different weights out. Once I get the ammo ill do some more testing.

I'm overwhelmed trying to figure out which setup to go with. Mostly only shooting out to 400 yards, but am hoping to at least double that at some point....if so figure most i'd get to shoot that far is 2 or 3 times a year. The savings is pretty significant. Almost $300 cheaper going with the...

:) But seriously, yes it's an SR-25 parts gun. I know that....but look at all the ideas i've gotten already. People see SR-25 and are curious. I didn't think about the barrel not liking the 168gr ammo. I'll pick up a box or two of some other stuff (match or otherwise) and check it out as well...

I love the color. Lets me know I have something really nice atop my rifle :)

I didn't put the upper together. A certified Knights SR-25 armorer did. Lilja contacted me and said check it without the brake. At this point, i'm going to remove the brake and test if off sandbags. If it still isn't shooting well the builder is going to recheck everything. No big deal, it...
