    260 AI body die for 7mm-08 AI

    It should work fine depending on if the portion of the body die the neck goes into is big enough not to cause a problem. The opposite would be a concern for the neck die. If the body portion of the neck die isn't large enough in diameter to accommodate the larger body diameter it could be a...

    Brass weight for under Manners cheek riser

    Here you go. It is a tungsten bucking bar. They have gone up a bit since I got mine but it still adds a good amount of weight in a small package. Be aware that drilling it is not fun.

    Chamber Choices for .223 Rem Bolt Gun

    Accurate mags is all I have ran besides the early crappy ai plastic mags. I do trim the lip for oal just on the front outside edge.

    Forward optics mount for a McMillian fiberglass stock to mount a Nightforce prism, suggestion?

    Badger efr as mentioned above mounted in a mcmillan a3-5. Mine was set for a clip on nv so you might need to check spacing for your optic of choice and the placement of the efr.

    Chamber Choices for .223 Rem Bolt Gun

    150 is what I spec'd my reamer at and its solid with 80gr Vld.

    7MM-08 Ackley Improved Help!

    I briefly tried some 140gr acubonds and didn't initially find a load I was happy with. That and the 120 nosler was absolutely devastating on critters so I stuck with it.

    7MM-08 Ackley Improved Help!

    I'm on my second barrel so I guess you could say I'm satisfied. Imo it really depends upon what your end goal is. I primarily use mine for hunting these days and it does great. My loads while not really screaming are super consistent in all weather conditions. I've ran it some at prs matches and...

    7MM-08 Ackley Improved Help!

    Around 2.9ish. I ran a 300wsm accurate mag which is basically a 308 aics with no binder plate.

    7MM-08 Ackley Improved Help!

    I ran 162gr amax/eld and 120gr nosler in my 22" 08ai. The 162 ran consistently at 2750fps and 3150 with the 120's. Had a batch of varget from the pre Obama era that was good for around 50fps more on both but everything since has been what I mentioned above.

    16'' 223 ai

    2950fps with 80gr eld with 8208 from a 22" it's conservative and good on brass life.

    New build caliber? : 22-250Ackley or 223 Ackley

    I used to have that mindset until I bought a giraud. 100pcs in 4 minutes negates any complaints on trimming.

    New build caliber? : 22-250Ackley or 223 Ackley

    I have two loads. Both running lapua brass. 80gr eld-m at 2947fps with imr8208. 80gr Berger vld at 2884fps with varget.

    New build caliber? : 22-250Ackley or 223 Ackley

    Its got a touch more capacity more close to the 22-250ai. About 2gr or so less than the creed case in h20 capacity.

    New build caliber? : 22-250Ackley or 223 Ackley

    I have a 22 creed and a couple 223ai's. Both are very capable but not exactly comparable. The creed runs 90gr Berger's at 3150 while a hammer it gets hot pretty fast and absolutely had to be cleaned every 300-350 rounds or it will blow bullets up in flight. It could be due to the barrel being a...

    Rye vs Whisky

    Bourbon over rye for me. It's mainly because a lot of the rye's I've tried tend to mess my allergies up and more than one glass I'll almost end up with a sinus infection. This is one of my favorites as of lately.

    Range Distance Markers

    A 10" piece of 3/16 sheet with a singular number works pretty well out to 1600ish.
