    Custom barrels and copper questions

    Yes, I've had some of those under 3/8 groups, but that's not the norm for me with this rifle. Perfect conditions, no wind, etc.

    Custom barrels and copper questions

    I thought about doing that, but even if they replaced it I 'd have to pay to have it chambered, threaded for the brake, and Cerakoted. I think better to just keep shooting it since it groups fine.

    Custom barrels and copper questions

    It groups fine. It's not a Bench Rest rifle so 3/8-1/2 inch at 100 yards off the bipod I figure is acceptable. Perhaps I'm just being to critical in comparing to my other barrels and rifles.

    Custom barrels and copper questions

    I've had a lot of custom Barrels. Shilen, Kreiger, Bartlein. Usually after a minimum break-in copper isn't much of a problem. I clean after every range session regardless of number of rounds fired. I use Bore tech Eliminator or CU2 copper, and Carbon remover, patching and bronze brushing till...

    Alpha 6.5 Creedmoor Brass users what loads are you using with 140 ELD-M's

    Factory Hornady 140 ELDM load is 41.7 grains of some unavailable powder to us seated 2.810. I measured a new round at the case head and got .46665 after firing it measured .47050. That's .00395 case head expansion! No wonder Creedmoor brass doesn't last. I've always used case head expansion as...

    Alpha 6.5 Creedmoor Brass users what loads are you using with 140 ELD-M's

    Just tried 37.0 gr of H4350 the case head expansion was .00149 which can be considered acceptable. Perplexed to say the least.

    Alpha 6.5 Creedmoor Brass users what loads are you using with 140 ELD-M's

    Had to significantly drop my loads due to less case capacity. Curious as to what others are using. Measuring case head expansion between new brass and after first firing just above the extractor groove is giving me .00178 which still seems like a bit much. What are you thoughts? That's with...

    Need help to get the proper cheek weld on my AICS 1.5

    AICS 1.5, Remington 700 action. Right now I'm running a NF NXS with Seekins .97 high rings. Even with the cheek piece all the way down My Impact Sport muffs interfere. Using plugs and muffs because of the brake but to get behind the scope the muff seems to come away. I really don't want to lose...

    Berger 6.5 140 Hybrid verses Sierra 142 Match King in Creedmoor

    Yep, that's right, so who knows? It all comes down to what works best in your own particular barrel. If I can get mine to shoot in the low .3's at 100 off the bipod I'm happy. This particular rifle is the only one I've owned that didn't prefer Berger's. Never been a big hornady fan but I can't...

    Berger 6.5 140 Hybrid verses Sierra 142 Match King in Creedmoor

    However if you check the precision rifle blog "What the Pro's use" 90% are using Berger's.

    Berger 6.5 140 Hybrid verses Sierra 142 Match King in Creedmoor

    I finally got to the range and tested the Berger 140 Hybrid head to head at 100 and 200 yards with the Hornady 140 eld-M. Shot five five shot groups at each yardage. I fully expected the Berger's to out shoot the cheaper Hornady's, but I was wrong. Smallest group and best average went to the...

    Recommendations for Trigger Pull Gauge?

    I've used an old RCBS trigger pull gauge for years. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done. Danny

    Barrel life for 6.5 Creedmoor

    New to the Creedmoor. Mine has a heavy Palma Benchmark barrel on a 700 trued action. If I keep my loads sane and don't overheat it, and manage good cleaning practices what kind of barrel life can I expect before accuracy degrades? Does it compare to the .308? Less or the same? I'm sure some of...

    Can't find the Berger's anywhere but can find the Sierras. Open to thoughts and experiences.

    Fixed.. Rem 700 not cocking

    I'm not familiar with Trigger Tech maybe some others that run them will jump in to help you.

    Fixed.. Rem 700 not cocking

    sounds like a trigger issue. Did you adjust the sear per manufactures instructions after you set the pull weight.
