    Barrel break in? Hoppes? Windex? What? Some brass flecks on cleaning patch?

    Thanks. Very logical. Appreciate your taking time to post the information. Since it was a custom rifling job, and put about 15 round through it, slow fire, with appropriate cleaning, will just start working on loads. Thank you!

    Thanks! Will run the rounds through and see how it goes. If its the same in 200 rds, will be concerned after that.

    Barrel break in? Hoppes? Windex? What? Some brass flecks on cleaning patch?

    Not quite, the copper is a bit bluer after a few rounds and then there was none. Blue tint vs dark blue stain is easy to see. thank you!

    Barrel break in? Hoppes? Windex? What? Some brass flecks on cleaning patch?

    well, maybe just part of the break in. As I said above, using Federal GMM 168gr. Will try some handloads next time trimmed back to specs. Want to start off a new barrel correctly, and work the details for close so I can know the rifle and what its doing, then I can add the factors in for F...

    Barrel break in? Hoppes? Windex? What? Some brass flecks on cleaning patch?

    409? really? Ran about 15 rounds through then ran a soak patch of Hoppes. Got home and let it sit a couple hours. Ran a patch thru and saw some brass flecks for 2nd time. Using Federal GMM 168 gr. May just be the barrel breaking in. But will keep an eye on it. Thanks

    Use this Oly AR rifle with SUM barrel for F Class or wait?

    Thanks! Thank you! No, not welded or pinned, it will unscrew and come off. Will take it down and sight it in at 100 yd, then try at 200. Not sure I will have time to get a 20 moa base and install it for elevation at 600 yds. Don't want to over turn the elevation adjustment on the...

    Use this Oly AR rifle with SUM barrel for F Class or wait?

    Thanks, but found out no flash suppressors or comps allowed. Will ask the match director again. Don't think I'll be much of a threat with a semi-auto Thanks for the reply!

    Brass weight sorting

    Thanks very much for the overview and the specifics. For general shooting or plinking I don't bother. bulk bullets, Dillon 550B for primer, powder, etc. Close enough for .223 reloading. Trying to tighten up for the F Class as mentioned. I have seen my Rem 700 PSS shoot sub-moa groups with FedGMM...

    Do primer pockets stretch? .308 Fed GMM

    Primer Pocket Cleaner | Sinclair Intl Here are more than a few for cleaning. If you want to 'swage' a primer pocket to remove a crimp, Dillon has a great one.

    Do primer pockets stretch? .308 Fed GMM

    And yes, not resizing or bumping shoulder back until the bolt starts getting a little stiff to close, then bump back about .002 and go from there.
