    Barrel Fluting = POI Shift

    Awesome thread. This reminds me of the debate over cross drilling brake rotors for more cooling in the auto racing world. As it turns out the main reason racing teams cross drill their rotors is to reduce unsprung weight and not for better cooling.

Throughout the day I heard the Bang, Bang, Bang of idiots missing badly at deer and following up their first bad miss with two even worse ones. Had my deer killed first 30...

    ELR rifle build: Single or Magazine?

    As I sit here and think about how I shoot my long range rigs. 90% of the time it is single shot. Usually leaving the breach open for a few moment between shot to aid cooling. Next ELR rig will be a single shot affair.

    Improving bolt lift DIY

    Valve lapping compound is a bit course. I used it on a savage with OK results. I think you can buy it in different grits online vs the one you buy over the counter at the parts store. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

    A chrono is not a reliable indicator of pressure. I look for flat primers and I measure the case pre and post firing. The case body just above the rim should not expandera greater than .003. I shoot Varget and 175SMK.178 Amax are prety well known for being money in .308. I use LC once fire...

    Cheap way to make a cheek riser

    Kydex IMO would be a better option and can be had for just as cheap off amazon or ebay. The metal though will likeyl add some weight a little aft which could improve the balance. Plus it is much more manly.
