    Range Report The Hornady 140 amax ammo. The OLD VS THE NEW

    I have noticed that my CM shoots awesome at 100 and great at 300+, but at the 200yd line it opens way the hell up to like 1.5 MOA. I have taken it to 1k and shot a 6"/ 5 shot spread off a bench with the 140s. The rifle is accurate, I just cant figure out why it opens up so bad at 200. Any...

    Range Report muzzle break question

    If you have a clockwise twist barrel and install a muzzle break with ports drilled in a counter clockwise pattern, will this work better, worse or same?

    Gunsmithing Broughton barrels

    Re: Broughton barrels My 7.7 contour broughton is on a 6.5cm and its one hell of a shooter, no cleaning problems either. +1 for Tim's customer service as well. Not to often you call a company that you actually get to speak with the owner.

    tumbling loaded ammo?

    tumbling loaded ammo?

    Re: tumbling loaded ammo? Well i dont necessarily see a reason TO tumble reloads, but maybe some people buy some "seasoned" ammo from a gun show and my think that ugly ammo wont shoot as good or may have adverse effects on their weapon so they clean it up to shoot it. I havent shot tumbled...

    Muzzle velocity Semi vs bolt rig

    Given the same load and same length barrel, how much muzzle velocity would you say is lost shooting a round through a ar-10 platform vs a bolt rig. No adjustable gas block on the 10. Anyone's experience would be awesome. Thanks to all
