    5.56 AR Only Loads

    A little more Tac love. I’ve been shooting a TON of 5.56 lately, put together a nice WOA 20” AR with a TT diamond and some other goodies because it’s just less abuse to my 6CM or 6 Dasher. I decided to just wing it with some Hornady 75g BTHP match, they cost me 21 bucks per 100 on mondays...

    Accessories MDT Elite internal weight

    1 piece MDT internal weight for the elite chassis. I had a moment of stupid and bought this without reading and I have the premier, doesn’t fit. Never installed, pulled out of the box long enough for a face palm moment. 120 from MDT, I’ll take 85 shipped. I take PayPal, Venmo, and cashapp...

    6 Dasher Build

    I use norma brass in my dasher but same barrel, bullets, and powder. I ended up at 1.762 CBO and 31 grains of varget for a 9.x ES and a 4.4 SD. I run mine slower than a lot of guys at 2790 but I’ve had zero issues with velocity varying greatly in different locations/temps and my SD’s and ES’s...

    AR Tuning question

    To me that sounds like buffer weight. A lighter spring will do the same, but it’s going to slingshot the existing buffer into the back of the extension hard as cause a screwy recoil impulse. That’s just my experience with them.

    Discard cold bore shot?

    I always load 5 extra of my lowest charge during load development. I don’t bother recording speed or looking for groups on those first 5. They are my throw aways so the remainder will be more consistent with what that charge/seating depth/whatever will perform like.

    choosing a bullet for 6 creed

    My 6creed shoots the 107smk well, the Berger 105 excellent, had no real luck with the Barnes mat CB burner or eldms. I mean those two shot ok but nothing id post a group about. The 107’s are consistent in both SD’s and group sizes, the bergers are just a little better. I tried them over...

    Long range 22 LR

    I had a tikka t1x with a 20” LW barrel in a krg bravo with a bunch of weights. It shot absolutely lights out for me with eley ammo. The only thing I didn’t love was the bolt was somewhat rough, the magazines are tiny, and the ejector was weak. This only applied to rimfire PRS, fr any other type...

    Does anyone stand with Berger?

    I load Hornady, SMK, and Berger. My AR does a great job with Hornady, my Seekins and 6creedmoor shoot SMK bullets great, but my match rifle eats bergers because they really are just better. There is never a second guess in my head “is it my equipment or me”, if I miss, it’s me. Last weekend I...

    Recommendations on Remington 700 based actions?

    Aero SOLUS is a good option as well (I have Zermatt actions too, just offering another option). I got my first one just to try because of the price. Put a 6CM Proof on it and it shot great. Later I stumbled on one here when I decided I wanted to build a dasher/br/gt. It was the later version...

    SOLD Athlon Helos BTR 2-12 W/mount MIL

    Bumpski for traitor to the crown day! Tree fiddy shipped. I’d like to get it gone by Monday so I can ship it out before I head to NM for work. Otherwise I’ll have to put it on hold for about 18 days as I’ll be out of the area.

    Aero Solus 4th of July Sale

    I’ve got a couple of solus actions with proof barrels. For the price, it’s worth the wait. The tolerances are pretty damn amazing. I just pulled glass off a 6CM solus and put it on my 6 Dasher solus. Both actions have proof prefits. Same slots on the rail since I have the lop identical. I...

    SOLD Athlon Helos BTR 2-12 W/mount MIL

    This sat on an AR of mine in the safe for 99% of its life. Nice little scope, my eyes just suck anymore and I can’t see a damn thing with a 12x scope at the ranges I like to shoot at so I put a 3-18 on it. One small mark on the bottom of the objective. Otherwise I can’t find any flaws. Come...

    Hows does LaRue Stealth barrels rank?

    Larue is a pantload on his best day. The hero worship from the sperm burping tuna queens at arfcom went to his head. If there was a choice between his barrels and ballistic advantage, I’d shoot ballistic advantage. Even if they were half as good as he thought they were, there are still 20...
