I have not had any brass longevity issues with my XTRAXN OBR. It does leave carbon marks on the brass that suggest light fluting, but the brass tumbles clean and there are no ridges or lines that can be felt on the cases. Here's a thread from a few years ago, there may be some useful info in...

Hey OP, couple questions from a practicality standpoint. First, how are the iron sights for any kind of use other than off the bench at the range? It seems like such a short sight radius so far forward away from your eye would be tough to utilize quickly or precisely. Is there any play in the...

Another aspect of the SD-E that I appreciate is that you can position your trigger finger out at the end of the trigger for precision shooting to get a somewhat lighter feel, or in closer to the receiver for other uses. I've never found that to work particularly well with a curved trigger -- you...

Another vote for 168 Amax

I recently finished building a rifle using a WOA 16" mid-length gas barrel, 1/7 twist, wylde chamber. Only had a chance to put about 70 rounds through it so far, but it shoots great so far. With 69gr SMK's and around 25gr Varget the best 5 shot group is just a hair under .6" center to center...

Ordered one, I'll post up more when it gets in.

Pretty sure he meant .281, the pins on my 2011 OBR measure right about .281 as well Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

Does your friend have a price estimate on these?

Mine has an 18" barrel, but I'd imagine that the 16" barrel will like similar loads. I've gotten best results with 168gr AMAX and 42.5gr Varget, or 168gr SMK and 41.5gr IMR4895. I take no responsibility for using these loads in anyone else's rifle, work up your own loads to know what is safe...

I get better results with them (in terms of groups) than with 168gr SMK's. Wouldn't hesitate to buy a bunch more.

There's great info in the SH online training area, and it's not very expensive for what you get. Sign up for a few months of that a drink it in. Someone mentioned Appleseed class, that's a good option as well to get you goin. Work the fundamentals in every repetition and dry fire more than...

You can cut a few coils off of the spring that holds the selector detent in place. I did this on one of my LPKs where the safety was way too hard to flip between settings. Making it easier to move reduced the "click"of changing settings. Don't go overboard, just cut a few coils off and...

Mine quit working about 2 months ago. The motor was clearly running when the unit was trying to dispense powder, but the powder tube was not spinning so nothing was coming out. I called RCBS and was told to send them a check for $200 and they'd send me a new dispenser since mine was out of...

The groups look good, but I can see what you're getting at with the somewhat wandering POI. Overall it seems to be consistently high and a hair left. Your assessment of 4MOA taking all shots together looks to be right, but a 4MOA gun shouldn't shoot a bunch of 1" groups. Do you know if those...

The dillo dust is laced with heroin to keep folks rabid for their next bottle. Regarding their CS, it seems to have definitely gone downhill the past few years. When I ordered an OBR in 2011 I worked with a gentleman named Alfred through the buying process, and called back a few times...
